I struggle with this seemingly cyclical rise and fall of civilizations or "systems" and their transitory periods. But. Fail or succeed I think this current system is on its last legs. So. Oh well. Might as well make an educated bet.
Throughout my life I've managed to avoid most social apps and platforms, or at the least not very active on them aside from just being an observer and scrolling.
But Bitcoin incentives are so strong, and Stacker News has provided a fantastic easy to use space to play in I find myself engaging more than I ever have anywhere else online.
I came here to read posts, and possibly stack. Yet I've ended up happily sending sats more than ever. Tipping users, donating some to the rewards pool. It's been a pleasure stumbling here to SN.
The further I go down this hole, the larger it gets, has me asking, how big is this fucking rabbit?
Agreed. Social media is a mess. I love it here. I also love that it's made me actually use some of my corn and feel good about it. It may only be tiny tips and what not but it feels right and not wasted.
