I must confess that the sats I earn from contributions and comments here feel somehow more valuable to me than the Fiat exchanged for Bitcoin. I think whether or not those posts and comments resonate with everyone is always subjective, but in the end, everyone is putting in effort, and that effort is naturally valued in sats due to POW. How do you view this? Do you spend the sats you earn from Stacker.News, or do you mix them with all the other sats? Or do you stack separate?

Stacker News is a closed system to me. As my balance grows, I increase my default zap amount. Someday I'll reach equilibrium, but that day is not this day.

They are all the same for me, 1 sat = 1 sat.

Even when I got 1 "spam" sat on WoS I was extremely happy. I can't remember when I got the same happiness with fiat

Your fallacy is probably just unit bias combined with the feeling of earning sats direct for your labor rather than exchanging for kWh or fiat. Keep spending hours to stack thousands of sats. That way the rest of us can spend hours stacking millions with our ASICs, fiat jobs and businesses.

I dislike comparing salaries like a contest, but in that case, you'd still be driving Fiat.

Said differently: the value you create by spending hours in SN is orders of magnitude less than the value you could create spending hours doing work.
Maybe SN makes you feel good and you'd do it for hours even without the sats. In that case, the enjoyment is the reward, not the sats. Don't fool yourself, the sats aren't more valuable.

Why not do both? You can't do one thing all the time. Finding the balance is the hard part.
Otherwise, I agree with you. To really drive bitcoin adoption, posting on SN is not the limiting sky.
