I'm not sure people care that much when it comes to tipping/micropayments. I still get a little zing out of a 100 sat tip on SN, and it's not really affected by the price of BTC in dollars.

I'm thinking that since sats are such a small monetary unit (for now), people could treat them much like they do likes and upvotes, but the advantage is, if you accumulate a pile, it actually ends up being worth serious money.
