36 sats \ 2 replies \ @zapsammy 2h \ on: Article got me thinking bitcoin
if people had the option of having free stimulus BTC without doing he work ("i suffered, i deserve this" does not count), they would lose the sats and/or spend them on useless things, perpetuating the system of consuming & creating trash.
only by doing the hard work one can figure out, intelligently, where and how to allocate the hard money.
Yup. The "gimmies" don't work. Like you say, most handout sats would fly out of those folks hands. But, in a way, they'd eventually wind up in the hands of somebody who put forth work, eg whomever sold whatever was purchased. They actually did something to get those sats beyond just having an ssn number and breathing oxygen. Frankly, even the scammers are doing some kind of work to get sats. I think of the old Nascar saying, "if you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'."
