Closing the Loop#16 - Keyan Kousha: Using Bitcoin to Foster 'Natural Communities' Online w/ Stacker NewsThis episode's guest is Keyan Kousha, founder of Stacker News.
Stacker News is a user-generated, feed-style news platform, modeled after Hacker News, but with the important distinction of having natively-integrated bitcoin lightning payments, as a means of fostering more natural communities (think less spam and antisocial behavior), cultivating high-signal bitcoin content, and providing a better user experience overall.
Stacker News is still in the very early days of its development, but it's a great showcase of how bitcoin can be used to improve upon an existing model, and in doing so, explore how improved incentives...

Changing the Tide0.00000018: Keyan Kousha, Stacker.News Keyan Kousha is the founder of Stacker News. It's like Hacker News, but they pay you in Bitcoin.
Keyan is Changing the Tide by valuing the users of his social network. Users must pay a sat to post or reply to others' posts, but they can also "upvote" posts by sending as many sats as they want to the poster. Users can take the sats they've earned with them by withdrawing to their own wallets.
By using a web of trust model, Stacker News is also helping people see content (rather than ads) from people they trust most.
