A: Hi Bob!
B: Hey Alice, how are you doing? Oh nice hair you got today.
A: Oh, thanks.. so, you just like them? You are not zapping me for them? You are so FIAT Bob.
So basically we passed from a culture of EGO builders with ๐๐ผ on Facebook, to another one where you build your EGO since you give "value" while others are only appreciating something without giving money to it. pendulum shifting so hard.
Let me ask..
1) Do you zap every note you would like 2 years ago or you are limitating your engagement because you settled a higher standard?
2) Let's say Alice zap 21 sats as minimum, and Bob zap 100 sats as minimum.. but Alice got in bitcoin just recently and have a stack of less than 0.1 btc, while Bob is in since 2013 and his stack is 100+ BTC.. who is giving more value, putting more on the line, and giving more?
3) Alice follows 2000+ users, and zaps an avarage of 100 notes a day, from just GM to long form posts.
Bob follows 100 people and zaps less than 5 notes a day but 10 times Alice amount. Who is giving more "value" and making sats flow creating a bigger net of connections and engagement..
4) #Nostr is a fucking niche still, even smaller than Bitcoin, and trying to force onlyzaps to new users that doesn't know anything about it, and don't have anyone that follow and actively engage with them, you want to also take from them an easy way of communication, because Reactions, not just LIKES, ARE A WAY OF COMMUNICATING A MESSAGE.
REACTIONS ARE NOT LIKES, FOR FUCK SAKE!
