Alright, I’ll bite - zapped! ⚡️
Could be mostly stingy Germans which go for 1-2 SATs 😂😂
2-3 sats default?! 😂 Gigi , we’re basically paying in digital dust now. wallets are crying, and yet here we are, still HODLing vibes like absolute legends 🫂
Imagine when Bitcoin reachs $ 1 mi
I have 8 and 28, but I used to use 8 more 2 years ago when I started, not so much now 😂
No hay como el 21
21 "sats are the standard" 🤭
@corndalorian 2-3 sats army is back🤭
😂.
The future is already here - just not evenly distributed.
People should set the zap value at whatever they feel comfortable with imo.
My default is currently set at 100 Sats but I do change the value from time to time.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. 😄
I think we should worry less about “how much” and more about “how often”. This is how we grow the network.
The real ones are zapping car crashes on X with MSTR
They are just trying to find the right balance between “hodl and never sell” and “sats must flow”.
Not negative yet...
HODL culture trained our brains to fear spending.
Layer on a lifetime of ad based conditioning and a hardwired need for reciprocity, and you get this weird outcome.
People will tip a barista $5 cuck bucks without thinking, but hesitate to zap more than 2–3 sats on Nostr.
The fix is behavioral. Set a weekly zap allowance, measured in fiat, $20. Spend it freely. Don’t track reciprocity. Believe that karma will work things out.
V4V only works when we stop keeping score.
Minimum of 21, zap in multiples of 21. That’s just me.
Some of us started our journey years later than others... Shrugs 😉😊
New economic indicator avg zap size
No good or bad
Any amount is good 👍🏻
They never left 😭
I feel seen 🫂😂

hoped you memes sent them back to twitter 😅
Careful. I have been demonized by like half the active user base of nostr for expressing this view. 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I hear they hide out on Corny Chat
The smokers don't hide behind the school. It's their hangout
They don’t like me and I’m ok with that 😂
forgot to mention 1 sat😅
Getting rough out here 😭
I like that amethyst has multiple default zap amounts so i can zap a note whatever i think its worth instead of just one blanket default.
Part of being a Bankster is being cheap. 🧐
futures are fickle & forever for us Jeff, i think the transition is forever also/*am i off base?
lmao imagine trying to explain this sentence to someone 5yrs ago 😂
😂😂
I've seen zap with 0
"us" the purity of life/naturalpATH*/*ya
I like you. Cornychat likes yea, they just have a strange way of showing it
They have a way of showing it that communicates the exact opposite 😂🤷♂️
Oops meant to one sat zap that one 😂
😝
Waiting for sub-sat-zaps.
Perhaps this phenomenon is signal from the collective unconscious, indicating the actual monetary value of Bitcoin. 🤷♂️
I'm at 5 for standard zaps (no likes) and add sats where I'm inspired, laugh, or share with others. V4V

I feel like HODL culture was a necessary first step to understanding bitcoin. HODL in fiat volatility, then as you spend enough time learning bitcoin you realize bitcoin is just a better money. So you use it how you would… pay for things you want and need, and save in it as opposed to saving in dollars.
But i agree. I like this sentiment. just fucking load up on sats and give it away. Spread it out!!!
I want to get NON KYC SATS. That is my goal for 2026
"HODL culture" is inevitable with a monetary system that has a hard cap in the number of monetary units. It's built into the incentives.
A maximum deflationary environment is NOT in the best interest of human flourishing.
Yes lol
It's with dollar/sat parity in mind
Yes, yes it is Gigi
Such is life I guess
Giving away money no matter how little is not a bad thing.
Extremely bad 😔😭

Me too.😭but these days I can barely afford 😞
Used to be me 21⚡.😭but these days I can barely afford 😞

Bitcoin is freedom of speech. Respect the coin or it will humble you 🫵🧡🗽
Monthly zap limits (per app) with NWC are a super power!
1 sat = 1 sat!
So Fiatcoiners?
Everyone complains about something. To me, this is not a big fish to be fried. Mind your own is a pretty good way to go about most things in life. And here I am, not minding my own 🙃
#iamahypocrite
Fud 😋
They are just LITERALLY sending you generational wealth, Gigi.
Glad to hear you’ve changed your opinion

Corndalorian reposted 🤣🤣🤣✅✅✅
I was going to zap 3 sats on this note but it said insufficient account balance….
@Gigi thank you for the NON-KYC sats. I would like to obtain more.. but not via creating well thought out posts on nostr. Not my thing…
How can I obtain more?
I can go to a bitcoin meet up, there isn’t one locally, but I can move out further.. and that’s a good way to convert 🧻 to sats.
Is there any other way that i am missing? Just ignore the question if I’m asking something that’s grey area.
Better than nothing🤷♂️
More to life than getting people to give you their money , no matter how small.
I moved SATs from my Strike wallet to my Nostr wallet for the first time. Everytime I do this I'm awed. The other day I sent SATs to my mom's Strike wallet (thank you @jack mallers!).
We both were awed.
Going to up my zap amounts.

Poor George
I hope 2026 things do get better but yeah
i‘m not zapping away generational wealth to some nerds
😂
😂 brilliant idea! Innovation made by Bitcoin
Cool. 👍🏻
21 is the Bitcoin standard ✌️
21 million Bitcoin.
Money is half of every transaction.
21 is half of 42.
42 is the answer to „the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything“.
Bitcoin is half of life, the universe, and everything.
Iykyk
My default is 21
Cuckbucks are monopoly money. Sats are real money.
Ok send me some…
😂
Not things are… Gigi… minds are…
The value that people like you have created for this community is priceless… 🙏🏼🫡
Message me up privately
hi -- we were trying to zap you -- but it looks like you haven’t set up a NIP-05 or ⚡ lightning address yet — grab one free at 
.. then pls reply here and we will try zapping you...
Rizful: Lightning Services
Free Lightning vaults, and instant, disposable Lightning Nodes.
Nothing to complain 🤪
Better give a thousand beggars 1, than 1 beggar a thousand.
They want to pay more in fees (in %)
Sorry, I do not have too many zaps, I am from Brazil, it's not cheap to me 😢
They ain’t making anymore bitcoin…..
Its for the number of posts they make/year
Every single sat is a vote for freedom.
You are a zap farmer that reposts shit from twitter and complains every week about people not sending you enough money.
Gigi provides actual value.
No one's upset that Gigi made a joke.

#most-zapped_nostr_recap
ZAPLIFE.LOL
A decentralized Craigslist running on Nostr
Someone needs to get nostr.band back up and running.
You could check what people's average zap amount was, their total received and sent.
It encouraged me to zap larger amounts being able to look the info up.
Yeah but waiting 30 seconds for another app to load and approving the zap is annoying.
If amethyst had their own custodial wallet it would be my number one choice to recommend.
For new people who don't know shit about Bitcoin, it's yakihonne or primal
This is definitely part of it.
Idk, i like being deliberate about my money.. Kind of see it as a feature
Mine monero and trade it for sats.
Just add any NWC wallet. Instant zapping, no other app needed.
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21
lol great answer
Yes
Oooh beautiful! Why the 8th number though?
Thanks Willy!
I zap ⚡️ with 21 sats
More of a signal than financial contribution
I love it whenever I get a zap even if it’s just 1
add the “NGU Culture” to this and end up with human stagnation.
