And here's a reply to a post where the those articles help provide an answer to the question as to how to earn sats:
How to earn sats? #17927

I kickstart the circular economy by orange-pilling my local network, friends, and family.
I have a PowerPoint presentation ready to introduce them to the fundamentals and drill them into ignoring shitcoin's get-rich schemes.
Then I organize workshops, where they install BlueWallet, learn about the importance of backing up the seed words, I play the exchange for them (they give me cuck bucks in cash, we agree on a rate, and I send them some conjoined coins).
After that, it's moving sats with each other in a round-robin fashion. And to finish up, I direct them to a reliable exchange (BullBitcoin, here in Canada)
Doing my share, one at a time :)

Sounds great. :) Also let your friends know about KYC-free exchanges e.g. HodlHodl (integrated in Blue Wallet), Bisq, Robosats or Bitcoin ATMs.

one thing at a time ;) I forgot, a friend and I also started a local Bitcoin Meetup... also good for KYC-free coins opportunities :D

I try to get my friends and family to download the Muun app. Then I would send them some sats. I try to be funny and pick some number of sats like 2121 or 420 or 69. (which number you get depends on your kind of humor...)
I want to start asking "cash only" restaurants if they take sats, but I am not sure what the best way to approach that is. If anyone has suggestions I would be curious to hear.

I redpilled my son as he is starting a record label.
But its hard work getting young kids off facebook and fiat especially in the arts. As they are all more or less brainwashed commie rebellions only focusing on their next bear and a place to sleep and play.
How ever he managed to get the artists he signed to accept bitcoin, on the condition he pay them bitcoin revenue in fiat once a year. They generally don't care and wont listen to explainers.
However i think as soon as we get a good hosting/lighting/social app for music sharing things may take off. I like podcasting 2.0 value for value model, omething similar for music is needed.
Just listen to Martys chat with JP and justin about Zion. Zion focus on building communities and sound like another cool way to go.
So in general atm i am mostly musing about direction to take, testing all kinds of lightning stuff and started working on a web site i use to test stuff. apoteket.org
I have a feeling we are still very early in bitcoin lightning, and there are alot of things that need to settle before we find a way to scale. There seems to be alot of directions taken by different projects.
A circular economy by community, and community who is interoperable over lightning is emerging.
So i hope we can keep the lightning network compatible across apps and implementations as it scales. Things are now moving so fast i just saw a new player implementing lightning addresses, and the next second i saw CLN making changes that break many existing LNURLp implementations who use c-lightning.
So my hope is that out of this chaos of development and innovation a new more decentralized yet interoperable internet and social media landscape will evolve.
Still need to break the spell of fiat, and get our kids interested in this tech. Many young adults to day are born into facebook, instagram, snapchat and the like. Its really hard to get them off these platforms as it has become part of their life and network.
Paradoxically Big tech censorship may help us out here, as more an more are canceled they have no choice but to look for alternatives.
Love what stacker news is doing here btw. Its a good example of whats to come.

I give away sats to people who I suspect have never tried lightning.
I'm now starting to ask contractors to do work, to work for Bitcoin. I let them know that it will be a consideration for who gets the work.
I point out that "legacy money" is "designed to go down in value [by at least 2% per year]".
