 Hey ya’ll!  I have a #nostr for dummies question:  what the heck is a zap and what do I do with them, to them, for them?  If anyone can explain in the simplest terms, I greatly appreciate it!  #zap #whatarethese 
 Zaps are monetary likes in form of Bitcoin unities, sent via LN on Nostr from one wallet to another  😎 
 Thank you, this is the simplicity I need to understand.  Do I need to set up a wallet in my settings? What is LN? 
 LN = Lightning Network

 reading this has slightly gone over my head.  I am brand new to bitcoin so a lot of this isn’t totally clicking for me just yet, but I’ll get there.  Thanks for sending this! 
 Zaps are micro payments, we call it Sats. Sats are like ¢. 100m sats makes a Bitcoin. 
 Thanks for explaining, ya’ll are truly so helpful 🙏 
 Best way is for me to Zap you 21 Sats 
 Well thank you!  I am still getting the hang of this, but so far I am digging this whole #nostr community 🩵

 Zaps = Money
