Will the masses ever discover zaps and v4v?
My car broke down zap me
My pet is hungry, zap me.
I need some sugar zap me.
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. ⚡
Will it just be digital panhandling, from broke college kids to the elderly without a retirement plan 😭
I think on due time, if not, there will just be "enough" people in this space which align with the tech and the incentives.
