The masses won’t “discover” zaps and v4v until they need them.
Right now likes are free, dopamine is cheap and platforms extract the value that creators produce.
Lightning changes the equation because you pay with intent, not with attention.
A zap is not a “tip”. It’s a signal: “I value this enough to put real skin in the game.”
Will the world be better?Probably not.
But the incentives will be cleaner:
• creators won’t chase virality
• users will support what actually matters to them
• value will flow directly between people, not through platforms
Kindness? Maybe.
Honesty? Definitely.
Because sats don’t lie. ⚡
