I wrote here about how Stackers value privacy. And as might be expected of Stackers’ psyche, SN’s impending move to non-custodial use will be welcomed by many. I think there are many reasons why Stackers prefer privacy.
-
it fits in with the ethos of ‘stay humble, stack sats’
-
it doesn’t draw unwanted attention to oneself, especially from scammers
-
it helps one to ignore the noise and focus on creating signal
-
it allows one to comment tongue-in-cheek nice try, Fed
In any case, this preference for privacy seems to run counter to the trend towards visibility on social media. Live streaming. Influencers parading their sponsored branded goods. Content creators airing their dirty laundry. It seems that putting a face to your name is instrumental to securing partnerships and affiliate marketing.
As Stackers, I know you probably don’t care if other Bitcoiners are making their presence felt, sometimes in loud, obnoxious ways. But do you involuntarily cringe when you feel that someone is behaving contrary to staying humble? Or you grudgingly endure it because Bitcoin is meant for everyone?
