Many npubs don't seem to get that the things they're using and doing cost money NOW, so zapping someone providing services 2 sats and adding

"⚡⚡⚡That's generational wealth 😁"

in the comment just feels like we're being mocked, because the running costs are billing 10.000x-1.000.000x EVERY MONTH.

Bitcoiners have no sense of what things actually cost TODAY, and this is slowing adoption because people won't blink at spending $5 on something, but ask for 5000 satoshis and they're like,

How about, I give you 5 satoshis and you hodl it for 5 years, and then pay the bills? 🤔

The biggest hinderence to spend and replace is the 5% premium that it costs to get sats anywhere. It's ok if only topping up zaps, but if you are buying anything serious it adds up.

Yes, that's why so many platforms are adding fiat options back in. Still much less friction.
