Writing about the Stacker News platform is a real challenge for me. First, it is a site that is different from everything that existed until SN appeared. I respect it a lot and I respect everyone who has worked hard to be able to enjoy this gem. I have only been here for 2 months and a few days, and for me it has been very profitable in the economic and knowledge sense.

But there are some things that always have me thinking about how to approach it. On the one hand, since SN is fundamentally a platform for Bitcoiners, I think that, without pretending to be Bitcoin because it is impossible, it could reflect a little more the essence of Bitcoin and its spirit.

If we think of stackers as miners, it means that just like miners, stackers earn rewards for their work, posts and comments, but to achieve that they must invest just like miners do. Publishing would be like mining a block, comments like mining fees, it is just an idea. But just like miners who only receive rewards for their work and there is no list of top miners and therefore do not receive more rewards, there should not be a ranking, calculated in a very complicated way, of stackers that generate more rewards, because from what I have seen it seems that this is the reason for many adjustments to avoid illegal gambling on the platform; maybe I am wrong, but that is how I have understood it.

I still do not fully understand the usefulness of the hat, the horse and the gun. I already know that the hat is earned and maintained with expenses of 100 SATs, the others have no idea. Also what is the usefulness.

These are things that have had me thinking for a while. Maybe they are the product of my ignorance. So if I have made any mistakes, I apologize for it. And I request that you show me where to find more information about the platform. Thank you.
