We're still so early on this stuff.
Remember that we're building a new parallel system from the ground up.
When Bitcoin's purchasing power goes up by another 10x, those 9 sat zaps suddenly aren't inconsequential. The increased purchasing power & value flow on here will draw more creators & more consumers. Nostr will orange pill more normies than Bitcoin Twitter ever did.
Those that aren't poor but also not super wealthy on here, are going to keep zapping as they do now regardless of bitcoin price.
I love every zap I get & yeah I get pretty chuffed when I receive a big one, even though I know I will just recycle it back in.
I have a lot of respect for those creators that have come here before it makes compelling financial sense. They can see how broken the current centralised platforms are & want something better.
It's all going to take a little more time though.
