Let’s pull on this idea of the reach of 121 people vs a 21 sat zap…

The only reason that your “reach” is valuable is because it is a way for advertisers to monetize you. They have everyone conditioned to want to get the biggest audience they can so that advertisers can put their ads in front your huge audience.

This model incentivizes gaining the biggest audience, which is not the same as providing actual value to people. It appeals to people’s most base desires for attention and it is very easy to spin up bots to dole out likes to fake an audience to capture the ad revenue.

The 21 Sats, while tiny in terms of USD value today, represents a portion of the entire global #Bitcoin network that is protected by POW miners. Actual energy went into mining that 21 sats, and that is now being exchanged for value. There are only 21 million Bitcoin, so it is much harder to fake the exchange of a sat than a like.

This is V4V 💜🤙

The reason my reach is valuable isn't because of someone else's ad revenue. It's because as a content creator, an educator and someone focused on community, reaching as many individuals who connect with me and what I share as possible. I network for me and my community, not because of ads.
