What is Stacker News?

Do I Need Bitcoin to Use Stacker News?[\b]
No. Every new stacker is able to post and comment for free (with limited visibility) while they stack their first few sats. After a stacker has started receiving zaps for their content, each post and comment requires a small fee to prevent spam and to encourage quality contributions. Many stackers have earned enough sats from their first few posts and comments to continue posting on the site indefinitely without ever depositing their own funds.
Post and comment fees start at 1 sat.
‎
Why Is My Wallet Balance Going Up?
When other stackers zap your posts and comments, those sats go to you. Stackers who have created valuable content are also given extra sats daily as a reward. These sats come from the revenue we generate from ~jobs, posting/commenting fees, and boost fees.

[Abstract]

A preview:

Abstract

BitVM is a computing paradigim to express Turing-complete bitcoin contracts.
This requires no changes to the network's consenus rules. Rather than executing computations on Bitcoin, they are merely verified.....

[I even offered a 5% discount when paying with Bitcoin.]

About three months ago, I launched a digital course to teach some writing and building skills that I learned from trial and error.
The setup is quite minimalist: a simple site built with WordPress. I enabled Stripe and BTCpay ( hosting with voltage )  as payment options - I even offered a 5% discount when paying with Bitcoin.

Result
30% pay with BTC
70% pay with Fiat

I do need to say the feeling of receiving Bitcoin directly into my cold wallet feels beautiful!

But do you think is it currently a bit too early for BTC only projects? 🤔 However, the course's testing pool is currently limited in Chinese, so it can only be used as a reference.

Part of me is curious to see how the future of e-commerce works, and the best way to learn is to do it - I am in the middle of building a BTC-only project: bridging BTC with real-world goods ( stay tuned for more ), but here are some of the problems I have not thought through:

1. Pricing in sats

I know the fiat price of BTC is a distraction, but as a business, you want to make it easy for people to pay.

Would BTC-only businesses adjust the price when BTC is $600k and $60k? For hard-core Bitcoiners - 1m sats are 1m sats, so I guess there is no need. But in reality, most people still change it to fiat price when understating the value of their Bitcoin.

Understanding the value of a new currency takes time; at least, that is my experience of living in other countries. But sooner or later, you could use the local one as your default mental value calculation - like you'd know how much a coffee should be worth!

2. I could not find the pricing option displayed in sats.

The current pricing option in WooCommerce is in BTC, but I prefer to show it in sats. Does anyone know any good tool or plugin to make this happen?
Or would it be easier if pricing in USD but pay with Bitcoin during this stage? 🤯

3. I am happy to hear from existing BTConly projects' insights.

I do not have any Bitcoiners around to discuss these with me. Much appreciate for everyone's input. 🧡

Starting last year, my life started to change a lot as I was living in the country that started the war in Ukraine. But my post is not about politics.
Most of our citizens faced reality when bank accounts started to be restricted, cash withdrawal limits were set, and the country was disconnected from using VISA and MasterCard outside the country. People began to realize that they did not own or control their hard-earned money, nor could they dispose of it as they saw fit.
To my personal luck, I had some sats in my wallet for a long time and it helped me a lot until I was able to withdraw the balance from my bank accounts.
Then another disaster happened, I lost my job and my only source of income and I had to move to another country where I have been for a year and where bitcoin is not restricted by repressive laws, which helped me a lot. In the new country I didn't even try to get bank accounts. Trust has been lost definitively and irrevocably.
At the moment I use either cash or sats. It's hard, it's uncomfortable and unfamiliar, but I feel this taste of complete freedom and the realization that right now I truly own everything I've earned and no one can take it away.
When you live in a peaceful country and occasionally use sats for payments, it's not the same experience as when you just have no other option but to start using bitcoin to survive. It changes the perception and attitude towards hard money and fiat a lot.
My journey continues, I still have to use fiat as not everyone wants to mess with bitcoin, but I'm working on explaining and teaching people and showing them the bright side.
Peace, everyone.
