 Yeah… Uphill battle… 
 Those 21-sat zaps ain’t gonna cut it 🤣🤣🤣

 Lol honestly that’s the dumbest perspective bitcoiners have and it pisses me off in these conversations. If someone is working to pay the bills then they are operating in today’s price/exchange rate for bitcoin. You gonna be able to replace your car with a few thousand sats? 
 Oh no I agree. I was really tongue-in-cheeking there. Trust me if someone sent me 69 sats and said “This will buy you an even better car in X years, hope it helps” I would commit obscene actions. Especially being a content creator, the cost/revenue of my videos is grossly out of balance. 
 Hmm my zap should’ve said for that car, not oven 😅🤦‍♂️ Yea its a huge problem for Nostr when it comes to content and monetization. Everyone has their heads up their asses on it talking about future value and generational wealth. 
 I like this Corndalorian 😂 
 Lol 🤣 On a long enough time frame, I do believe Bitcoin will far exceed all expectations. But for the writer, video creator, singer, etc, who needs to keep the lights on and put gas in the tank, none of that matters. 
 That’s old Corndalorian. More new Corndalorian. 🤣 I agree though. It’s a slow transition. Hands must be in both pots for now. 
 Zaps will absolutely not support a full time content creator.

But it can help hobbyists. 

Most platforms require to reach a certain level to even begin earning. Then an even larger audience to start making a living. 

With Zaps even if you have one fan you will be zapped. 

And since they are not relying on it to live. It’s will just be an extra source of revenue. albeit small. 

Those are the people who I think will jump in first. 
 Bullish on Tatum

 He said a billion views. The 21 sat zaps work because they're near insignificant to the sender. Having a max audience of 10k-20k people is what doesn't cut it
