Stacker News users are like... not only the 99.9% of "crypto" people but probably the 99.9% of Bitcoin people.
Most 'Bitcoin owners' have never used Lightning, they may only be vaguely familiar with what it is.
Lightning assumes self-custody, curiosity, 'attaching a wallet', creating quality content plus being generous with regards to the efforts and quality contributions of others.
So in the venn diagram of 'Bitcoin curious', 'app-familiar', 'patient', 'exploratory', and 'Sat Generous' (to zap) is a very small number of people right now.
To self-custody you have to take responsibility, to take responsibility takes a certain personality type, and to 'use Lightning' on Stacker News you're also on the 'cutting edge' of new technologies.
It's a small number of people... considering that >99% of people have never "used" Bitcoin.
I do not consider "bitcoiners" those users that are still using other crapcoins.
