If Apple backpedals on Zaps ⚡️on Damus, it will create a precedent for all other apps.

Difficult decision it seems, as it’s a frontal attack on their app revenue model.

Easy decision if you know how 10x, 100x disruptive forces operate: there is little you can do against them. You can delay the outcome by regulating, lobbying etc. But eventually those forces will bleed out your business model to the death.

Apple is only saying zaps can’t be on posts but it’s fine to zap profiles. They’re just confused.

I’m sure this turns out to be nothing. Damus will find a way and come out of this stronger than ever. Getting lots of new users now.

People don’t yet understand that Nostr and Bitcoin are immortal.
