How should a zap be called if it's LBTC, wBTC, BTC on Coinbase or Ripple tokens?

Should we go down that route? Nostr started out with much effort to be independent from Bitcoin and yeah, tipping is cool, so there we got zaps and sure, the denomination had to be something so now we have sats and thus BTC in nostr. Bitcoin is my tribe so I don't complain too much but it's still problematic as we baked into the protocol an affinity to Bitcoin.

To now call tips differently depending on whether the tip happened via one token or the other or better yet call it differently based on which layer it settled would lead to quite a mess.

If nostr ever takes off, every shitcoin will want to integrate with it and propose nips how their zaps should be called. "ray me a Solana or wave me a Ripple".

let the shitcoiners worry about that when they get here
