Stacker News is great, although I disagree with some of the views shared here I will always with extraordinary passion defend the rights of others to have those views and have their own voice.
The 'stuff that works' is what Bitcoin is actually about. If the people want better money they should earn and go use it.

Lazy, stupid worker bees that refuse to make new honeycomb cells. They only like to eat honey, but they don't realize how much more honey there'd be if they made new cells. 🐝

Well people are obviously 'exchanging it'... but they are exchanging it for fiat not necessarily goods and services. If there was huge demand to 'buy something' with bitcoin then I guess the exchange rate would go down as the sats are 'given' for that good or service...
But the education would be way better.
The filter people can't have it both ways... they can't complain that blockspace is used for junk when the demand for blockspace is sub 1 sat/vb. They can't IMO 'not pay fees' and then not approve the transactions of others who do pay the fees, even if it's just for junk. It's larping not bitcoin using.

However they frame it, they're selling bitcoin—fractionally detracting from the network's value—and buying dollars, fractionally increasing the money supply with more credit. Totally counterproductive for Team Bitcoin!
