Rungs to climb - I like that mental image.  So the bottom rung is a “👍🏻” but how do we progress to a proper “⚡️”?

Are likes a gateway drug for zaps?  No.  They are opposing forces.

UNLESS… we give people a “like balance” and make it a scarce commodity.  When you’re new to nostr you get 50 likes and once you use them all, you have to earn more 🤣 Once you’re out you can only like a post when someone likes your post.

We need ThumbCoin and a proper blockchain to track this new asset class.
