54 sats \ 3 replies \ @Nuttall 24 Sep \ on: How much profit have you made off SN? ideasfromtheedge
If in two weeks you've made over 20,000 sats and you are unhappy with this then you have a high time preference and you WILL NEVER BE HAPPY ANYWAY.
I've written on the Internet since 1997 and before that I wrote and published my own little Punk 'zine from 1988. I worked very hard. I engaged other people to contribute. I sold my zines on the street, in bars, in school and I listed my work in other magazines to get orders in the mail.
I've owned my own websites since 1998. I've invested thousands of dollars in hosting, computers, printers, office software, dictionaries, English literature, grammar books and courses on writing, management and sales training. Because of my practice and time I actually got office positions and people paid me to do administrative work and write for them.
With Stacker I've done quite well for a lot less work. I've even learned things from other people who I've come to appreciate. I've even had some pissing contests with some and have still come to appreciate their work as well as their opinions.
Technically this site is a masterpiece and it deserves further investigation and more time from you. You've just scratched the surface. If you lower your time preference and learn about Bitcoin on its own you will appreciate that you've earned the buying power of well over today's 20,000 USD or Euro. That's some haul!
$10,000 per week!
The buying power of Sats has increased on average 200 percent each year. If you only think of today's exchange rate then you are missing the whole point of Bitcoin. If you have sats you are capable of sending value all over the planet. When the buying power increases your ability to send sats will enable you to send Fiat value. You can even do it for other people!
Learn about Bitcoin. Learn about moving sats. Learn about engaging your audience.
If I had a nickel for ever negative post or paragraph or statement I have made I would not need to work at all at anything but no one was interested in my negative statements so I didn't get paid for them.
Lower your time preference. Get spiritual with your interaction with others and learn how to extract high quality information from the labor of others as well as the experience of yourself.
I'm not trying to lament on only the negative aspects of something. I have over 100 posts that I'm sure you didn't read all of. I didn't complain. I explained. I helped people come to better understand the world they live in. To give solace. To give hope. To give thanks to the people who GAVE ME SATS.
There are many perspectives, and the main one I can tell you that will never work is the one where you just take the good with the good and only acknowledge the good.
ok, maybe it will work for a time
but just like the trillion dollars of debt a lot of us are in, there can't be a good outcome to all that. We have to pay interest on loans, that's like the thing with loans. So idk how to calculate the exact number but 35,000,000,000 times even just 2%, that's a fuck ton!
Needless and regardless to say, I care about everyone's opinion, and I worship the replies and responses I get from my posts.
I'd love to be able to give back to the community more, but I don't have it. That's why I believe this to be a scam. If I wanted to contribute value to this site, then I would have to reach into my pocket to pay you all for how brilliant you all are, but I digress.
There are not enough satoshis in the world to make it clear how much I love this site, and there is nothing that will stop me from continuing to express this gratitude, except when my account balance is:
BUT I'm about to give that to you anyway, since you were so sincere and I appreciated reading every bit of what you said.

Hmmm, grasshopper, you may have to add sats when your balance is low. This is economics. If I haven't read your 100 posts then it's because I didn't find them or I didn't find them interesting. In two weeks I've managed to travel from the US to Portugal and tomorrow I'm heading to Spain.
In some cases I've skipped Stacker for a day, days, weeks and months. Lower your time preference.
Don't give up and also don't think that positive is profitable with the exception that Stacker News is not about imitation of the Mass Media, or the reward for being dissatisfied nonsense. Mass Media rewards negativity because dissatisfaction is easy to find and it sells quick time preference misery continuation.

Let me give you 1k for all that wisdom
Oh wait:
