It's funny, one of the things that I think about is wanting to preserve my budget -- to stay solvent. Which is a weird thing to want, since what amounts to quite a hefty zap, like 1000 sats, is not yet thirty cents. And yet there's a scarcity mindset, even when the thing itself is not scarce.

Will be really interesting to see how norms evolve over time. @Undisciplined has set in motion a very intriguing psychological experiment with this post.
