That is a great decision. I used to drink a lot and smoke a bit of weed, but now it's been many years since doing either. I don't miss it at all. I prefer to experience reality unaltered, and this is especially rewarding with kids of my own. Congratulations and welcome back to the real world!
Day 165 of snailposting everyday 'til BTC hits $100k.

That many people in African countries put all of their savings into a scam although they KNOW it's a scam. The just believe or hope to be one of the lucky first 10% who'll get a pay out.
I cannot give you the best answer for all those questions because I do not have the right information data. I think only SN founders and admins can give you the best answer to this post.
What I can give you is MHO about how I see SN until now (being one of its first users).
- I see SN like were the faucets in the early days of Bitcoin

People were receiving a lot of sats for almost doing nothing. But that was a method to bring new users easily. In those early days, was needed more testing and people using it, in order to understand it.
SN is doing something the same, but in small quantities.
As I always said, be wise with zapping. Not everything on SN merit a zap, especially a large amount of sats.
- SN is designed to be a better reddit but instead of upvote/downvote will be with sats. Users MUST feel "the pain" when they zap 1 sat or 1000 sats.
Upvotes on SN are the same as on reddit, one user = one vote. But SN is adding something new, the incentive of amount of sats, not just the vote.
The amount of sats is ONLY the zapper appreciation to the OP, for its effort. But that is not affecting the "ranking" of that post. Is more like a V4V reward. - All those thinking that SN is an "assmilking" cow... they are wrong. SN is a fair reward system, driven only by each stacker "sats power".
In all this MSM experiment I zapped more than usual. Why? Because I wanted to see how the algo is working or not. But usually I am very careful with how much and to who am I zapping.
If it meaningfully helps I'm all for changes...
But like my write-up suggests, I'm not sure that 'changes' (soft-forks) will actually help adoption.
With new soft-forks and new 'tools' who will actually use them? My guess is that it's the same people who use Bitcoin now... who would use Bitcoin with or without a soft-fork.
I went to a cafe a few months ago that according to BTCMap took Bitcoin... and they didn't. They said it had been over a year since anyone wanted to pay in Bitcoin, and so their employees didn't know how to accept it. How would a soft-fork change this? What, a better implementation of Phoenix Wallet (with soft-forks) would somehow change this? I am very skeptical.
As far as Westerners are concerned... Bitcoin is an imperfect, but obvious improvement on current government money. It's not perfect... but it is a huge improvement and that's why I'm here. I don't know what else to say other than that.
