 zaps on nostr > tips on Twitter 
 You’ve seen someone making millions of dollars in zaps on Nostr? 
 In generational wealth terms sure! 🙄🤣 
 Lol bullshit answer 
 Never understood the appeal of that guy’s videos. I must be just old. 
 Good point, but with a long enough timeline $1 = 1Sat so a popular account could generate 1MM Sats, couldnt it? 
 You are ignorant of reality. Would you sell me your house or your car for 1% of what it’s worth simply because I pay you in sats? No? But bro what about that long enough time frame? No, because you’re not stupid. Fuck off with that nonsense. 
 more optimistic, not ignorant. Look at larger accounts like Jack or Odell whose posts get zapped with a decent amount. Yea, a few Sats arent meaningful today, but that won't always be the case. Plus, I was commenting that Zaps are better than tips on X, which is true for anyone who's tried both. 
 Tipping someone an amount that you know is not meaningful is the problem I’m calling out, and the one you’re missing. It shouldn’t matter which currency you’re using. If you’re tipping someone for anything, tip them what their time and effort is worth to you. 
 true. 

but most of us have a budget for these things.
