Ok closing up shop on the million sat ping pong game.
First social trust experiment on nostr.
21 zaps for a million sats.
21 returned zaps.
I actually ended the day with more sats than I started because people were sending additional zaps in support of the experiment.
Takeaway: nostr bitcoiners prize their reputations and social capital and aren’t willing to compromise that for a couple hundred bucks.
In the long term webs of trust may come to define nostr.
🎉🤯☢️🐶🐾🫡 thanks for confirming what we all felts!

Great idea to experiment with. Imagine sending that amount of money back and forth to 21 people all over the world on any other service or platform and the time it would take and friction it would have. Early days but it’s all working as intended.
The future is bright and it’s purple
🤪🥴🙄 you totally skipped over many 🤞’s.
🤭 if it was a non-fake experiment, so many people would not have been skipped.
😘🤠✌️🖖🤙
It ended up being a squeaky wheel gets the grease phenomenon.
not familiar with that idiom. what does “squeaky wheel gets the grease phenomenon” mean?
It just means the people who were loudest were getting the attention over others.
🤔 mmmm…🫣
😒😔
understandable to be weary of the “spam” accounts or inauthentic nostrich accounts. but you could then have done 500,000 sats instead with the view of losing the sats…or…countless other strategies to try to showcase the magic of nostr & bitcoin folks.
it seems pretty clear that you never were gonna run a real “experiment” and the way you did what you did seems totally like fiat/web3 world kinda hype tactics.
i’m SURE your intentions were TRULY GOOD to have some fun, etc., but it was not well-conceived.
i think it’s warranted to bring all this up. to be fair to the greater project of building a better world that is more honest & kind, such things should be noted. & is not nostr & bitcoin meant for making the world more authentic?
pv 🤙
This isn’t a laboratory my guy. We’re goofing around on social media.
🤞🏼🤞🏼
sorry if the excruciatingly simple truth burns so hard. 🔥 hope you heal & become stronger so you can be more comfortable in your skin and be more real.
Love it either way! Well done👏👏
Note to self: ✍️ NEXT ✍️ TIME ✍️ TYPE ✍️ IN ✍️ ALL ✍️ CAPS!
trustless systems inspire trust 🤙
N = 21. Tomorrows nostr may not be same as today. Hope not but we have to be realistic that it’s a relatively small number of users.
When the BTC breaks $100k: 
Dont understand.... Zapped
So cool, great experiment
🫡 honored to be a part of this history ⚡️🏴☠️
I almost bailed for 1M Sats. Would have been the grand payoff of 2 years of trust building.
Amazing

* he doesn’t actually mean any of these words. he later said that he was just having fun on social media.
**he was just fucking around with a small clique to pretend that he understands some declarations of bitcoin culture.
🤙
Awesome😀
Awesome! In the ever expanding interwebs trust becomes a scarcity. Let's make it the norm 🧡🤙😎⚡
That is an excellent conclusion!
That's a small sample size..
Wow...⚡️💪
Just saw this today, wow, that’s some mojo.
Nostr is like Twitter bizzaro-world. Instead of scammer bots promising to give you two bitcoin in return for one, plebs are giving out bitcoin and trusting each other to give it back. ⚡️🔥
