A few months ago I was sent a few thousand sats by a Dev on nostr for helping them out. It seemed very generous, but a) it enabled me to zap sats regularly to useful and entertaining nostr users. And b) it encouraged me to put effort into Nostr.

I didn't really need a financial nudge because I believe in Nostr's potential but the sats boost was a neat thumbs up to me and also enabled me to participate practically in this environment.

Value 4 Value, it's the driver for releasing potential in a world hamstrung by lack of capital. Us non elite drive bottom up innovation and the more momentum we can get going, the sooner we can see change for the better.

My minimum zaps for interesting posts is set at 100, it's mad to send 1 sat or 10. That doesn't move the dial. And there's a token of appreciation and then there's like, really? Do you think in 2029 when BTC is 1m + that you are going to regret zapping sats in 2024? It's because we circulate sats now that BTC can be worth so many dollars in the future.

And after listening to a podcast from a podcaster delving into V4V, it makes sense to regularly send a decent amount to one or two podcasters rather than bits and bobs to many. If 100 listeners think like that, a podcaster could generate some income to motivate them and fund ways to improve their show.
