This post reads like a heartfelt manifesto and an important reflection on the current state and future potential of Stacker News. The author not only shows deep care for the platform but also takes personal responsibility for its growth a rare and commendable attitude in any community.
He’s honest about the challenges SN has faced like the shift to non-custodial wallets and the user attrition that followed but instead of dwelling on complaints, he offers a constructive, decentralized vision for rebuilding momentum from the bottom up.
The most inspiring part of the post is the call to follow “the @grayruby way”: stop waiting for features, stop hoping for innovation, and start creating within the existing framework. Passionate, consistent posting can organically attract like-minded people, especially when paired with smart outreach to external forums already active around niche interests. This kind of grassroots content creation is exactly what SN and Bitcoin adoption needs to thrive.
The encouragement to bring your unique hobbies and passions into SN (from astronomy to Roman coins to the Grateful Dead) is brilliant. It reframes the platform not just as a Bitcoin hub but as a place where Bitcoin and everyday life intersect. And when people realize they can earn sats while talking about what they love, something powerful happens.
In short, this post is a call to action for every stacker to claim a corner of the platform and start building. If we each do our part, Stacker News can grow into a truly sovereign, user-driven network that benefits the whole Bitcoin ecosystem.
