I love sats as the standard here. If anything stays pure, let it be Damus 😄. Display currency options are incredibly useful around the world for paying for fiat-priced items, but I feel like here you learn to zap by the sat.

I appreciate the feedback.
There was a graphic today that put in our minds that #[6] was tossing quarters at us.
It stresses micropayments because that’s how most people will see that.
I was told people would use bitcoin, but they wouldn’t even know it; maybe that was a lie.
This for sure can be the case. For instance with Stablesats in #[7] you can hold USD value, display it in whatever currency want, and receive (or send) to that balance over Lightning (but you’re just sending and receiving sats).
Displaying in fiat is crucial for enabling circular economies to develop, because converting fiat price to sats all day is a huge hassle.
On nostr, people aren’t pricing things for you to buy, you’re deciding to send a message, a small token of appreciation. Even 21 sats. Wouldn’t hit the same in fiat IMO 🤙
