People setting their default zaps to 2-3 sats. Are things that bad? 😅

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 🫂
I have 8 and 28, but I used to use 8 more 2 years ago when I started, not so much now 😂
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.
They are just trying to find the right balance between “hodl and never sell” and “sats must flow”.
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.
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.
Perhaps this phenomenon is signal from the collective unconscious, indicating the actual monetary value of Bitcoin. 🤷‍♂️
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.
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 🫵🧡🗽
I was going to zap 3 sats on this note but it said insufficient account balance….
@npub1derg...xzpc 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.
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 @npub1cn4t...3vle!). We both were awed. Going to up my zap amounts. #nostr #sats #zaps #strike #bitcoin #plebchain View quoted note →
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
The value that people like you have created for this community is priceless… 🙏🏼🫡
Sorry, I do not have too many zaps, I am from Brazil, it's not cheap to me 😢
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.

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
Idk, i like being deliberate about my money.. Kind of see it as a feature
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.
