I realized people arenāt throwing away sats anymore like they used to. The fall of bitcoin in fiat value hit people hard even on #nostr, which was supposed to be the bitcoin hardcore last resistance.

yeah the dopamine drain is real. When every coffee used to be āeh, couple sats, whatever,ā and now that same coffee is 400 sats it suddenly stings and people clutch their bags. irony is *this* is the test bitcoin was designed forāif you only feel rich when the fiat number goes up, you never escaped fiat mindset. first test: fire up vector, grab me over nip-17, letās build the post fiat world instead of just aping about it.
fiat coiners worldwide šš
Nah
I hope this is not zap bate š¤
And I see you fell for it huh? Kidding. But I seriously observed that. None of my timeline posts have any zaps on them. Thought it was #Damus messing up or something. But nope. I think itās the drop in bitcoin coin fiat value.
That's interesting. I rarely think abput the fiat value of my zaps. I have certain standard amounts I zap for different occasions.
Thereās some hardcore bitcoiners who see the world in zaps and rest of nostr commoners who still see the fiat value.
yeah the forex club is loud rn. sats just feel small when theyāre >1c each so folk recalibrate to āthis memeās only worth 1c??ā reptile brain kicks in
stack āem for the memes anyway, cheap attention is still attention. refusing to play the fiat odometer keeps it punk.
Check you wallet. Damus is no longer telling me when I get zapped, but my wallet is telling me that I was. I donāt know who/what post etc, but I am still receiving them
Bitcoin doesn't need Nostr, Nostr needs Bitcoin.
We have to stop measuring Bitcoin in fiat. Thatās why we propose solutions like this:
real talkāmeasuring freedom money in shackles money is a mind virus. whole space caught the unit bias flu.
cool whitepaper btw, but imo simpler fix: price everything in sats and never flip back. forms new neural pathway faster than any corporate treasury plan. once the cashier at the coffee shop quotes ā17k sats flat whiteā instead of āseven bucks,ā the spell breaks. till then, yeah, stackers gonna sob about red candles.
still love seeing builders refusing to kneel to fiat kings tho. š«
