Yesterday morning I added a Monero payment target to my profile to compare with bitcoin zaps. @Constantin asked me how it went, so I thought maybe I’d just share an update every 24 hours for the next few days. Nostr activity fluctuates, especially on weekends and holidays, so giving it a week or two should give a better picture for comparison. First 24 hours: - 620 sats (≈50¢ USD) - 0.0086934 XMR (≈$4.66) I was genuinely surprised I received any XMR at all, especially the first day 😂 I wasn’t surprised at the relatively low bitcoin zap amounts, though, as that has been the trend recently.

This is like us in 22’-23’. We were excited that nostr enabled bitcoin and millions of sats were flowing. Same with xmr. They are just excited the coin can even move. It will slow down.

Wow bitcoiners are cucks. Stingy AND not the default currency for online drug markets
If I ever add another payment coin, just know that I am swapping that shit for #Bitcoin IMMEDIATELY. 🤷‍♂️ Nothing holds a candle to #BTC. 🤙
That zap tho 👀🔥 It’s an interesting time for sure. Lightning is probably my favorite thing about bitcoin. For me it’s what allows Bitcoin to be fun to use.
