People in 2032:
“People were crazy in 2023. They’d zap strangers 1,0000 sats for a Nostr meme post. Now that’s worth $50”
zap it
We don't need no UBI! ⚡ zap SATs for a sound money revolution!
Zapping on Nostr is simply value for value ↔️
Altruism is a guilty pleasure. One I indulge while knowing I shouldn't. It's awful economically.
Obviously, the society that lives on altruism alone must die of starvation and exposure, as there were no net gains as in mutual exchanges where both parties profit (not only the seller). Not only the one accepting money profits from a purchase. We can say for sure the one paying money (the voluntary 'buyer') also expects to profit in his own estimation, else he would not have bought.
Then again, I'm talking to people who talk like a fixed-pie gambling pool can lift all boats, somehow.
