"Bitcoin can't work as money because it's inelastic and people won't spend it"

Meanwhile plebs on nostr are regularly zapping each other sub-penny amounts of sats just for posting retarded memes.

Lies and propaganda.

It still blows my mind that more people, especially Bitcoiners, aren’t on Nostr for this single reason.

What blows my mind is there are under 3000 people that zap on nostr....

Really need to up those numbers

I like the trend. Even if the starting base is low.

We’re so early ⚡️

We are the point one of one percent!☝️

Sounds about right

And those 3k got really excited over New Yeas Eve.

I’m doing my part 🫡

Tip of the spear kinda sucks sometimes but … I made promises

3% of colonists fought for our freedom in the American revolution.

Zap, hold your head high, and zap again.

Great perspective 🫂

False, the number was significantly higher https://observer.com/2017/07/soldiers-militia-american-revolution/

Well, somewhere between 2.8% and 13.5% according to that article. I wasn’t there to verify the number. My point is still the same. It only takes a few, not a majority to make change.🤙

That's absolutely wild.

I would have guessed an order of magnitude higher.

Wow. I would have thought a much higher number….

Those could be a different 3,000 people each day. It doesn't tell you how many users total are engaged in zapping.

i tried to set up a wallet (non KYC) on primal and they wouldn't let me

Fuck it, I don't need zaps

You need zaps to earn bitcoin for your posts!

Are you dried or iOS?

ios

No way. It can’t be that low.

3000 zap-spartans! Respect to these beautiful souls!

This counts publicly visible zaps, right? I wonder how much is done privately

zap senders is the true number of users

Wait until people realize that Nostr makes bitcoin p2p money as the whitepaper intended it to be....

At least for now...when on chain fees get crazy again, it'll be pretty difficult/expensive to maintain self-custodial Lightning channels and I'm guessing most will once again opt for cheaper custodial wallets.

Wait until folks realize we've been in THE WALLET RACE for like 1.5yrs now. Like, we know nostr will catch on over the next 15yrs, but normies still won't understand self custody lightning and that's why we've seen so many new custodial wallets come along from the beginning; WoS, Alby, speed wallet, minibits, cashu/nuts, coinos, and many more to come I'm sure....

But then you still get takes like this from people who otherwise seem to understand

Zap!

Zapping you $0.005 cuck bucks.

Hello, is there any video I can see to learn how to use lightnimg efficiently with low fees? Is the best solution to open a Chanel with 0.01 btc? I don't know... Can I do that in electrum?

I think the easiest way is probably to just run Alby Hub on your desktop and open a couple of channels that way.

Thank you very much!!

These are no longer sub penny amounts ser.

🫂

sent you one sat, my good sir. 🤌

let the free market liiiive
