@corndalorian 2-3 sats army is backπ€
They never left π
hoped you memes sent them back to twitter π
I hear they hide out on Corny Chat
The smokers don't hide behind the school. It's their hangout
They donβt like me and Iβm ok with that π
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 ππ€·ββοΈ
Oops meant to one sat zap that one π

They are just trying to find the right balance between βhodl and never sellβ and βsats must flowβ.
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 2β3 sats on Nostr.
The fix is behavioral. Set a weekly zap allowance, measured in fiat, $20. Spend it freely. Donβt track reciprocity. Believe that karma will work things out.
V4V only works when we stop keeping score.
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.
Monthly zap limits (per app) with NWC are a super power!
Glad to hear youβve changed your opinion

Cuckbucks are monopoly money. Sats are real money.
Ok send me someβ¦

add the βNGU Cultureβ to this and end up with human stagnation.
Minimum of 21, zap in multiples of 21. Thatβs just me.
Me too.πbut these days I can barely afford π
Cool. ππ»
New economic indicator avg zap size
π brilliant idea! Innovation made by Bitcoin
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.
No good or bad
Any amount is good ππ»
I feel seen π«π

Careful. I have been demonized by like half the active user base of nostr for expressing this view. π

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.
forgot to mention 1 satπ
There are dozens of us
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.
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
Just add any NWC wallet. Instant zapping, no other app needed.
Part of being a Bankster is being cheap. π§
I've seen zap with 0
Waiting for sub-sat-zaps.
Perhaps this phenomenon is signal from the collective unconscious, indicating the actual monetary value of Bitcoin. π€·ββοΈ
π«΅
This is definitely part of it.
I'm at 5 for standard zaps (no likes) and add sats where I'm inspired, laugh, or share with others. V4V

It's with dollar/sat parity in mind

So Fiatcoiners?
Yes, yes it is Gigi
Such is life I guess
Giving away money no matter how little is not a bad thing.
Extremely bad ππ

Used to be me 21β‘.πbut these days I can barely afford π
Bitcoin is freedom of speech. Respect the coin or it will humble you π«΅π§‘π½
1 sat = 1 sat!
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 π

They are just LITERALLY sending you generational wealth, Gigi.

I was going to zap 3 sats on this note but it said insufficient account balanceβ¦.
@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 thingβ¦
How can I obtain more?
I can go to a bitcoin meet up, there isnβt one locally, but I can move out further.. and thatβs a good way to convert 𧻠to sats.
Is there any other way that i am missing? Just ignore the question if Iβm asking something thatβs grey area.
Message me up privately
hi -- we were trying to zap you -- but it looks like you havenβt set up a NIP-05 or β‘ lightning address yet β 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.
Mine monero and trade it for sats.
Better than nothingπ€·ββοΈ
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
iβm not zapping away generational wealth to some nerds
21 is the Bitcoin standard βοΈ
21 million Bitcoin.
Money is half of every transaction.
21 is half of 42.
42 is the answer to βthe Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everythingβ.
Bitcoin is half of life, the universe, and everything.
Iykyk
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21
Oooh beautiful! Why the 8th number though?
My default is 21
Not things areβ¦ Gigiβ¦ minds areβ¦
The value that people like you have created for this community is pricelessβ¦ ππΌπ«‘
Nothing to complain π€ͺ
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 π’
They ainβt making anymore bitcoinβ¦..
lol great answer
Thanks Willy!
Its for the number of posts they make/year
Every single sat is a vote for freedom.
Yes
I zap β‘οΈ with 21 sats
More of a signal than financial contribution
I love it whenever I get a zap even if itβs just 1
