 No, we're not going to all start using Liquid for Zaps or whatever term you want to call them. Zaps are unique and successful because they have essentially zero fees and are instant. Neither of these two properties exist for Liquid. 
 Agree. Zaps are for lower value. Liquid doesnt make sense at sub $10 fiat values 
 We must continue to build (says the man who just wants to zap the builders). 😅 
 We must continue to work on solutions that enhance freedoms in a easy and meaningful way. 
 Lightning is not the solution for tips 1sats.
Liquid is out from some time but keep coming any time people mess w fees.
Is that all, 2 solutions and bad one for lowering the fees. 
 Future nostr platform using Liquid somewhere? 
 It's an open protocol. Someone can build it. It won't be successful and will confuse people, but it could be done. 
 omg ! more shat stuff on top of shat.

why not make u own solution to reduce those fee ? 
or a solution that can keep away miner to rig the fee ? 
 And if you talk about adoption, the nam #zap is perfect. All good branding is a clear symbol & word ⚡️ 
 100%. Liquid was not created for this. 
 Of course not, that would be extremely inefficient. Though, you could use Liquid to create lifhtning channels and bridge them to the wider network. Those could be used for zaps. 
 Wouldn't those be called #Squirts💦 
 Sure.  
 Liquid is a shitcoin, also. 
 If someone wanted to buy my paintings what would you recommend, Lightning or Liquid?
Because on-chain right now no one would buy them with the fees so high 
 Lightning over and over again. 
 But no lightning custodial address accepts 1,120,000 sats and hardly anyone has them on their Walletofsatoshi or similar anyway 
 Sure they do.  I have bought multiple pieces of art from Scarce.city over Lightning for way more sats than that. 
 And what are you waiting for to buy a painting from me? 🤭 
 Where are they listed? 
 Lightning channels can be run over liquid. Just found this post on twitter https://twitter.com/jurbed/status/1736722608584876101?t=6Rh_MoxL9dsc4-DH2VqkZA&s=19 
 Hosted channels make this possible. It is interesting the amount of things I've learnt in such a small amount of time since this ordinals debacle  
 Liquid = drips (:
