"What are zaps?"

"Well, you know Twitch Bits, Tiktok Coins, Youtube super chats and super thanks?"

"Yes..."

"Yeah, basically that - but on bitcoin instead of a random big tech firm. And if you went self-custodial, nobody can take away what you earned aside from transfer/routing fees."

"So when someone sends me '100 zaps', I keep 99 of them?"

"Effectively - it sort of depends, but yes."

- How to explain zaps without prioritizing Bitcoin but also not not mentioning it. ;) My favorite way of explaining things to friends is by using analogies they know and thus give them a ground to stand on from which they can look at that other thing.

A convo I just had, by the way. (:
