I’m taking a short break from #zaps, thank you for checking and asking. 🤙

I read a note recently that made me want to experience nostr without zaps

I’m doing this to think more about purple pilling

I’m discovering that purple pilling won’t always lead to immediate orange pilling

And maybe social won’t be nostr’s main great use case, but the way social media is going, it will need to be here for the next generation

Nostr is not Bitcoin and Bitcoin is not Nostr

This actually true

Wine is not potato and potato is not chicken wing

Wine = chicken wing 🫡

Would

True, but they do fuck on the side.

Nostr uses Bitcoin and Bitcoin uses Nostr

Nostr won't always lead to orange pilling and social won't be Nostr's greatest use case, but there's a time and a place for them. We need social freedom now and Nostr's social aspects are filling that need for us. I believe that as Nostr grows in popularity and people experience freedom to transact socially, they'll understand the need to freely transact monetarily too. It's hard to see the need for Bitcoin until you experience it and Nostr at least opens the door to those scenarios.

Futile grandstanding. Online activities eventually require the exchange of money. Bitcoin is simply the money best suited for a globally distributed network of people who need to occasionally exchange money. What do you believe this exercise will prove for you?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So it’s for vanity?

you seem to think so

I’m asking you.

I’ve thought about your replies the most, if that helps

😬

Just a part of the puzzle/web/picture.

What was the note?

it said something to the effect of I’ll zap when I’m ready, but was very comfortable building community here without them

A flue is not the ass itself, it's just bad smelling gas.

Cheapskate

Interesting experiment. Keep us updated

More or less doing something similar, bc with my nostr client of choice, zapping is a pita and I don't see when I receive them either.

I'm sure I'll fafo from time to time on other clients, but def not on the daily.

HFSP!

Just kidding, dude. Let us know what you learn from this experiment. I strongly encourage trying new things to gain a different perspective.

so far i’m learning it’s what people say it is, a place where people yell at you about bitcoin

I really don't care who's a bitcoiner here & who's not - but I do care about you & I hope you have a Bitcoin stack to ensure your place in the Bitcoin economy whenever you want to transact.

Cheers 🫂💜🫡🚀
