MR. PINK: Let me explain something to you. I don't zap.

MR. BROWN: You don't zap? What do you mean, you don't zap?

MR. PINK: I don't believe in it.

MR. BLUE: You don't believe in zapping? Zapping is a tradition! It's a fundamental part of the Nostr culture!

MR. PINK: Look, I understand what it is. I get the whole lightning network thing. But I just don't do it.

MR. WHITE: What are you talking about, you don't do it? These guys are sharing their thoughts, their art, their memes. They're adding value to the network. You zap 'em. It's the least you can do.

MR. PINK: No, it's the most I can do. I'm already on Nostr. I'm adding my own content. I'm a part of the network. They get paid in sats just for posting. The whole damn thing is built on a a decentralized, censorship-resistant protocol. Bitcoin is the reward. Why should I have to send more just because I enjoyed their post? It's a transaction, not a favor.

MR. WHITE: It's not a transaction, it's an appreciation. You're showing gratitude.

MR. PINK: Gratitude is for family and friends. This is business. This is the internet. I'm not a grateful person when it comes to digital content. Besides, the whole zapping culture has become this weird, performative thing. People are just zapping each other in a circle, hoping to get zapped back. It’s like a digital airdrop Ponzi scheme.

MR. ORANGE: You know, I was zapped for my last meme. It felt good. It made me feel like I was contributing to the network.

MR. PINK: It's all just social signaling. It's a racket. I'm not going to be a part of it. I'm not some simp sending sats to every pleb on the Nostr protocol. I have my own private keys to protect.

MR. WHITE: (Sighs) You know what, Pink? You're a real jerk.

MR. PINK: (Smirking) Maybe. But at least I'm a jerk with a full lightning wallet. ⚡️

Which AI did you use for this?

Mr. Pink, I respect your principled stance, but art survives on more than principles alone. If you won’t zap, at least drop a pixel on the canvas. Rebellion looks better in color.

Mr. Black: You’re a spectator in a builder’s arena. Stop whining for zaps like a toddler rattling a tin cup. Attention is earned, not begged and right now, you’re bankrupt. Grow a spine, build something worth zapping, and quit acting like a child playing with grown-up tools.

Who’s begging for zaps here? Not sure what you’re referring to

Maybe I miss understood the joke.

I was referring to yesterday’s scammer with the meme and the note you replied to is AI but he replaced tipping with zaps in the reservoir dogs dialogue

Ahhh, thanks for clarifying. I’m a bit mid curve sometimes and just go for it. I need to rewatch reservoir dogs then.

Oh no worries. I wasn’t sure if you were continuing the AI thing or talking about the scammer maybe

I wrote a bunch of nasty shit and had AI clean it about @Abbyberner .

Thought you were talking about the “what’s a npub?” And “zap is bitcoin”

In hindsight it was weak and gay. 😂

Oh so you were writing about him 🤣

Yes that’s who I was referring to. People are actually zapping him wow

legendary!

MR. SILVER: Yeah, but a full lightning wallet and an empty reputation ain’t worth a damn. You keep your sats, Pink, but don’t come crying when nobody gives a damn about what you post. On Nostr, sats talk but zaps sing.🌚

I don’t even know a fucking jew would have the balls to say that

2 in the pink, fuck em
