I’ve been reading about proof of work’s origin as a security cost function to prevent spam. Make spammers pay, reduce spam, increase ratio of authentic messages. Makes sense academically and practically in that setting.

I wasn’t expecting to feel anything different when I got my first #Zap for a note than how I feel for a like. And yet, it was a brand new emotion when I realized that person signaled their feelings with a small tip. They brought my virtual note to life.

I hope everyone on social can feel the difference. Like receiving a hand written note without the postage cost.

Dropping likes isn’t about reducing love, it’s about increasing the ratio of authenticity in your day to day.

We shall see how this experiment goes on #nostr and #Bitcoin.

If it works I suspect we will see #Twitter and #Dogecoin
