50 sats \ 12 replies \ @teodor 12 Feb \ on: Stacker News For Writers BooksAndArticles
I'd mention here the Publish0x which pays in crypto for writing articles. Readers are tipping and writers get paid a few fraction of ETH or OP, but is almost nothing... However, I enjoy reading there good articles, as I do here too :)

You think so? I hope so too, but the reality is other. Many shitcoiners here are trying to only grab some sats to exchange them for some shitcoins... Shitcoiners will always do shitcoining and will never learn.

Yes, but the writing there will forever have the shitcoin taint. It's remarkable how that platform is (like) fiat. Completely ripping off the writers.

I don't think ETH is a sh coin... However, they have changed paying coins few times and some of them were really not useful, obvious sh coins!

I would define ETH as a shitcoin for the following reasons:
  1. Premine-Vitalik and his buddies cashed out.
  2. A single company runs and controls it. Look what happened here: https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2023/05/09/coindesk-turns-10-how-the-dao-hack-changed-ethereum-and-crypto/
  3. Proof of stake. I'm sure others can add to the list. This is off the top of my head.

How smart is that? It means that Bitcoin is also a sh coin... according to your assertion, as it has BRC-20 now! Also, staker (from Staker.News...) means one who participates in proof of stake! Sorry, but your confusion is total, man... But I agree, you are not part of the creators of Staker.news! Happy staking!

Yes, Publish0x also changed their "crypto" from one thing to another. I played with it in 2020 and grew to hate it.

This is true, but still there is a crypto community there. I wonder if is it bigger or lower community than Staker.news...?!

I wouldn't care. Crypto is scammy nonsense. It's basically ignoring Bitcoin and lots of egos.
