Additionally, people are already used to $ meaning multiple things like USD, CAD, AUD and they seem to get it.

So using the same argument (it’s clear from the context), we could use $ for sats, no?

> when people say 10,000 bitcoin they will know what you mean

If instead of changing sats to bitcoin to use ₿—a letter I can’t type on my keyboard but had to copy and paste—we used $ as sats, wouldn’t that also be true?

Surely you didn’t pay 60k USD for an eSIM but 60k sats.

Yeah I agree. IMO, he’s picking bad fights. There are many ways to attack Monero but to compare its privacy with Lightning and completely ignore the UX or how most people use Lightning isn’t the best idea imo

If you want pay-to-post or zap your friends in a private group chat, you have lost the plot.

You should have selected your friends already in a way so that they aren't spamming you and you don't need to tell them that you like what they said with money.

Zapping is a means to an end, it's not the goal.

Would love to zap this but Damus only gives me a prompt to zap with BlueWallet.

@npub1xtscy..., can you let us select the wallet on zap because I think iOS doesn’t let me change the default iOS application for the lightning: scheme, only for common schemes.
