I agree. I hadn't put it into words, but I do feel like both have their place/use.

Zaps>likes

Oui Chef. I value your opinion and respect you. Thanks for sharing your opinion which can be crass and eloquent at the same time. Brilliant.

That is spot on. You put into words what I was feeling, but could not properly articulate. That's value.

Well said

Yeah, but iam like zzaps hahaha

Yes!

One doesn't negate the need for the other.

Well said!

So true! 🙂

Yeah it's weird how fast one internalizes the decision making process of what to like and what to zap. Of course it also depends on how big ones stack is

I phone a guy and ask him for information.

He spends the next hour calling people and trying to find what I need on my behalf.

He solves my need and I want to express thanks for his help.

I lamented the fact that he does not use nostr because I would have zapped him a pretty penny.

Now he is purple pill curious. And he is botcoin clueless.

Communicating value > communicating agreement

TBH It also communicates the decreasing marginal utility of money from small money holders to big money holders.

In other words if you have got a lot of money you would use those zaps more freely than if you haven't. In the latter case your propension to liking is higher than zapping.

I'm looking forward to Canadian users being able to set up a wallet and send / hopefully receive zaps. 😊

Good point!

While there likely is at least a distinguishing variable, “liking” something seems to imply an appreciation of some kind of value.

I zap most posts instead of liking

likes without zaps is an insult

I like this

Wise words indeed. It’s a subtle yet powerful distinction—zaps add depth to interactions, showing not just appreciation but real value.
