I don’t think the creators will come if they have to wait for 1 million people to show up. Nos.social has been recruiting creators for a couple of months now and it’s slow going in part because the zaps are low. If you net out at the end of a week with 500 zaps that’s $0.30 USD. Creating content takes a HUGE amount of work. I do the bare minimum for nos and it is a giant time suck from my day. I don’t even make videos or live stream.

The other issue is that most artists are not in a position to save 100% of their tips for some time in the future when bitcoin is worth 10x more. Artists who are working to make a living are living in part off their tips. If they can manage to save some of it, of course that’s all the better, but many times income from any source is simply going straight to pay the bills. Doesn’t matter if it comes from Bitcoin or Venmo or physical cash.
