You only live once and the money you didn't spend gets passed on to people who didn't have to earn it, or its value simply disappears into the timechain.
There is satisfaction in living to see at least some of the sats being spent on something you find worthwhile and long-lasting, or in supporting a good work.
Not everything is about greed.
On what are you gonna spend those 42 zap sats? You could also give them to your grand kids.
1) Many grandkids get nothing or very little because their parents have blown through the inheritance.
2) My children are inheriting other valuable goods, like
- well-maintained real estate in a safe, prime location with good weather,
- a stable food, energy, and water supply,
- a strong, local extended-family structure,
- an active church and community,
- the remainder of my Bitcoin and Lightning wallets (which will make them some of the wealthiest people on the planet and in the region),
- and dividend-paying equity in businesses that can survive hyperbitcoinization.
- Perhaps even equity in Nostr businesses, that other people's children would have to purchase with sats at a time when sats will be impossible to buy.
3) Money isn't everything. My offspring have received a lot of good things from me, that other people's children can never buy. They are already rich. They can work for more, if they want more.
4) I do not exist solely for my children. I am a person, in my own right.
FYI anyone can see everyones sats received & sent info on nostrdotband, its public so we all can see who the stingy peeps on nostr are lol. but if youre a dev your recieved has to be more than your sent
This isn't actually true because I send sats directly from my wallet and they don't have a zap-note attached and don't show up on band.
good info, i dont know how accurate it is either but i say its pretty accurate on my account
Mine is way off.
I also have multiple npubs, so not everything is listed under one.
Probably more accurate with smaller accounts that just shitpost, or something.
im not a b1tc01n3r btw, ill just give back what i get to devs or whoever
If you have sats, you're a bitcoiner. Might as well get used to the idea. :-)
But, yeah, some of us are swapping in Bitcoin into the Lightning system and spreading them on and off Nostr through zaps.
Someone has to do that, or there'd be no sats to zap.
And it's often people nobody has noticed and who aren't particularly wealthy. All those little people making little swaps adds up.
I guess we're zap-patrons.😊
