For years the #Bitcoin mantra was "Sell your chairs for more Bitcoin."
Here on nostr elitists are now parroting "OnlyZaps"
They say, "I don't value likes, zap my boring mediocre leftover Bitcoin content served cold!"
Don't let these cucks tell you how to #nostr nor tell you how you should use YOUR Bitcoin.
Perhaps some of those begging for zaps are not the big ballers they present themselves as and are literally begging for scraps🤔
True, nobody should force the others to spend sats they're not willing to
Nevertheless, the topic shall be adressed with more nuance, imo. Of sats stay sitting on your address forever, that does npt impact the network. But if all the sats holder are not willing to spend sats, the bitcoin economy is not going to evolve.
Bitcoin is not guaranteed any success, bitcoin is a tool...we are ones making it valuable. Normie merchants are not going to magically accept our sats out of the blue if we don't educate them to do it, if don't develop the tools, if we don't testify the usefulness of bitcoin by using it every day.
Yes, SoV is a bitcoin use, but is not gonna turn anyone on, especially if you're asked "what can I do with bitcoin?". Try answering "you sit on it forever and wait to sell that for fiat at an higher price"... good luck with that.
Since Zaps are a freshy and normie-friendly use case, it's fair, honest and legitimate to promote zaps. That is what is going to attract the most people to bitcoin, not any austrian economics laser eyes wet dream.
Value for value, not value for stale turds 💩 (side note, I don’t know what turds or especially stale turds taste like)
The golden rule is only one:
Listen to everyone, but think for yourself.
