Only if you’re obsessed with money.

I think the permissionless payments is more about enabling the communication of value signals in a way that can’t be stopped than the obsession with or accumulation of money. It’s a big deal. Maybe I misunderstand what you were saying though?
You don’t need money to do that.
How else do I tell really tell someone their work educated me, or tell a relay I value their sibling of electricity into relaying?
You could just tell them with words.
I hear ya. That works to a certain degree. Maybe think of it as two different kinds of signals.
Words, which are a lower value signal because of engagement farms, bots, especially ChatGPT… Imagine GPT-10…
And sats, which are a higher value signal because you can’t fake a sat.
Also, relay operators can’t pay for their electricity using my words of affirmation.
How much do you think it costs to run a relay?
?
Lol. I think it's just neat to send sats directly to random people a la stacker.news. I guess I'm obsessed with money.
