Because they only *hope* it will be worth $1. For now, one sat is like $0.00026. And the sats they are zapping you are probably some of they were zapped for being open minded in onboarding to nostr or sticking around and saying something worth zapping

I think most Bitcoiners are past the hope stage at this point and understand that not only is a #BitcoinStandard possible but necessary, so it *will* happen one way or another simply because it’s the better option
I reserve a great deal of skepticism about the near-messianic message of unchecked bitcoin philosophy. Most of that stuff is peddled by influencooors and readily guzzled down and regurgitated by autistic human dictation machines
lol as you should, but the protocol is based on math not philosophy so try not to get lost in the sauce🍻
There can and probably will still be fiat on a bitcoin standard. In our lifetimes, it’s more likely we’ll see the layers built on top of bitcoin gradually replace the legacy rails. Still, if someone had told you that you could own a piece of the Internet back in 1990, when everyone you knew still had a landline phone and most people used AOL to send messages, would you have wanted to? It’s like that.
if there is then it’s not a *true* bitcoin standard since that would be bitcoins monetary policy replacing fiats, what you’re describing is where we currently are in the transition with people trying to create bitcoin backed stable coins; why attempt to put a dying, decrepit system on life support?
with the push for CBDCs and the fall of the USD due to BRICS I am becoming doubtful that we won’t see this within the decade let alone our lifetimes, unless people would rather be controlled by the WEF in 2030 lol
(who knows though, they *have* done a pretty spectacular job at destroying common sense and baseline intelligence🫠)
