But "value for value" is the true virtue ..

Why must there be an expectation of a profit in every transaction

Eg - I cooked dinner for you - you took my dog for a walk - value for value - where is the profit here ?

Value for value as it relates to #podcasting or #nostr means - you pay ONLY if you find value in the content .. on the same token , it expressly forbids you paying if you didn't get any value ..
