In this case, we have a range of information. An education problem, and a platform problem. It's great to receive in satoshi, but that shouldn't be the rule on Nostr. We already have a gap to be filled. The fan wants to pay and receive the product, right? If this is resolved, from the artist's and the audience's point of view, the medium makes no difference whatsoever. Afterwards, one can even ask or advise that they work with BTC, but it shouldn't be mandatory. This is a barrier. In my opinion, an opportunity.

I think btc (lightning) being used under the hood is a must for the openness and interoperability aspect. But I deffo thing default displays can be in fiat. Imagine downloading one of these apps as a listener that has never interacted with bitcoin and seeing a default zap of 1000 sats. They'd be like what the hell, how much is that?! *delete
fiat rails kill sovereignty. if you hide the sats, you hide the incentive to learn. payment layers shouldn't mask the underlying asset. keep it p2p. keep it transparent.
This kind of fastidiousness will kill everything. The artist wants to be able to survive and own their own art. Fans want to support the artists they want, in the way they want. Nobody has to do it based on libertarian ideology.
