I have been doing #Bitcoin things since 2017 and have seldom sold or spent any I have accumulated.

Even when I had to spend for a purchase I could not otherwise make such as buying ASICS from an overseas seller, I would always spend and replace.

If I was forced to sell at an inopportune time to cover electricity expenses, it was always painful.

Now I socialize on Nostr and find myself zapping sats to total strangers because they said something I found useful or just made be laugh or smile.

It turns out that β€œspending” my Bitcoin to show love and support for my Bitcoin / Nostr friends is the only use case where I feel good about parting with my hard earned sats.

Cheers 🍻 to all you crazy people and remember to zap value to others and always keep Nostr and Bitcoin weird.

Similar journey my friend, sounds almost identical.

I have a similar feeling after now being on Nostr for about a month.

Yes. Deserving people.

Zapping is awesome, it is bringing a community together via a belief system. Imagine all the good that can be done for people through this. People can get paid for just sharing their idea's. Businesses will start through this novel idea.

Same man. Never parted with a single sat until a few weeks ago when I joined this ride. It's such a joy to give to people building and working hard to make this a great place for learning and socializing. PV
