I will like to know the coolest features on stacker news platform. I asked this, in case a friend ask me that. Because my friends are quite curious when it comes to cryptocurrency.
  • Being rewarded for honesty and helpful to others with Bitcoin.
  • BS detectors, here with many toxic Maxis who can smell BS miles away, and will brutally point it out.
  • Intellectual stimulation and the freedom to discuss anything, and stalkers have the patience to listen and give unique feedback, you can even choose to be anon.

Honestly, it is the routines it has in place that keeps me engaged n enthusiastic:
  • Meme Monday
  • Fun Fact Friday
  • Weekend Book Recommendations
  • Stacker Saloon
Every day I have something different to look forward to

Don't forget Spending Sunday!

The daily reward, it's a great idea that push people to post quality content.
If you find or think of something awesome surely someone else will be interested in it as well.
reply
This is so true. I find myself zapping larger and larger amounts of sats every single day and my daily reward encourages me to do so - it's a brilliant system
reply
The people.
reply
The search bar. I frequently check to see what stackers think about a topic/piece of software/hardware. Like google but with stacker convo's and posts.
reply
People genuinely enjoy discussion here
People here see the value in exploring ideas
reply
Seconded, plus the related lack of hostile internet troll behavior.

I have absolutely no problem with overly aggro behavior when it completely jumps the shark and the person has a sense of humor about it.
reply
True value for value with real Satoshis

  • Anons
  • Knowledge
  • Incentives

For it is getting "skin in the game" same as with fountain. You earn a few sats and that might spark further interest. I got a close family member (55+), who was just a regular podcast listener orange pilled just due to the interest in what came out of fountain. I imagine same could happen with SN
reply
Exactly 💯💯. I believe Stacker News platform is a good platform to be, not even with the coders we have here.
reply
Your friends are curious? I envy you. I need new friends.
reply
We don't count?
reply
Oh yeah. SN friends count. It's my face to face fiat friends that really need SN. P..S. I like that: face to face fiat friends. I shall call them FFFFs from now on.
reply
Of course, I was just being a bit facetious.
reply
Could be the name of a series. Like Happy Tree Friends but less brutal - maybe

Orange Pill App..?
Saving plebs without local meetups lol
reply
Yes. I have been using it for the past month or two. It's been fine when you make a connection, but it needs more users. I'm curious to know what you think if you have used it?
reply
Wow for month that's good. Yes I believe Stacker News is still very new and needs more users but this can be turned around if this Stacker News can be made into an application.
reply
Stacker News isn't so new and has plenty of users. I was referring to Orange Pill App. Totally different use case, if you ask me.
reply
That's what I am saying. Why can't Orange pill app be opened to everyone. We are trying to preach Bitcoin to everyone far and wide but not like this
reply
OPA is open to everyone willing to pay a small monthly fee, just like bitcoin.
Without the paywall we would be swamped with bots, scammers, spammers, shipcoiners, etc etc
reply
I haven’t used it because I have a local bitcoin group on telegram already🙏🏾
I’m still quite interested to try…
Hopium that it will be like “professor X finding all the mutants in x-men” 😂
reply
I mean spammers. Later, they will regret every single sat spend on their spam here
reply
Simplicity...
reply
I'd say it's the nuanced and thoughtful discussion of merits of altcoins versus bitcoin, and general rational attitude toward fiat economies.
reply
Someone has a bone to pick.
reply
And the sarcasm…
reply
The Zaps.

Simplicity.
