Not gonna lie, there was a period when people were pushing for higher zaps, I set mine to 5,000 1,000 and 500.

After a while, even though I used 500 for small memes and stuff, I was seeing 1 sat and 21 sat zaps back and I ended up adding 21 and 50 to my list.

I also saw my ecash wallet balance going down and dropping a zero and got a little scared. Also the fiat value is rising.

I probably am a higher than average amount zapper but I want this to work in a meaningful way and I take into account that no advertiser is subsidising nostr, and others I share to are not gonna zap because they're not into all of this and they're not invested in seeing bitcoin succeed, they are, if anything focused on the price only.

I also find the idea of removing likes and only supporting zaps hilarious. It feels like memers who just want more zaps and I don't think it meaningfully improves the problem.

Sorry /rant.
