That’s what makes nostr so cool. Before nostr, I think I bought 1 shirt with bitcoin. Now I’m zapping my favorite thinkers on the daily.

Or not is cool too. It’s gonna happen so it’s all good

every zap is a ‘fuck you’ to those people

My favorite opinion is the one that doesn't matter to me at all.

Buying and storing is using plus its easier to do taxes.

It reveals that they think of Bitcoin just as one of the potential investments out there. They don't get that Money isn't an investment.

Celebrating the truth of this statement by installing knots on the start9 server I just bought for btc (which I immediately replaced ofc). Got a nice discount for using btc, too.

The network does not ask for their permission to validate your transactions. HODL or spend? You decide, not them.

Hell yeah.

I’m not one of those people! I say don’t sell ALL of your Bitcoin. If you buy it on something that you absolutely NEED, why the heck not? I will never feel bad about buying shelter or knowledge.

And I can't understand that. They compare bitcoin to gold and think they will only use it to store value. They will take loan and spend fiat.

Oops Might have just zapped you Great sentiment Bitcoin is just money. Money is for spending Ofc the choice of what to spend it on is totally up to you Value is in the eye of the beholder

Hoarding without permission

On whatever tf we want too

...and even on cars 😍

if only there were an escrow account that collected 1% of 1% of each transaction and allocated an even annual split back to all its members!

This is a scarcity mindset, which shouldn't be conflated with Bitcoin's scarcity. I know I produce more than I consume, so spending Bitcoin isn't a concern for me. I have savings and it increases over time, whether I spend or not. I figure the bulk of these people are leveraged to the hilt, have a s...

Does zapping on Nostr count as spending my bitcoin

It's just a matter of being in a bitcoin standard or not 🤷‍♂️ who for need still has Fiat obviously spends Fiat and keeps ₿. Who is lucky enough to be in a standard ₿ obvious who spends ₿ 👌😉
