First of all, I am not complaining. I just noticed a lot of posts ended up zapped with 21 sats.

By my research in this site, there's a lot of conversations about 21 sats fees and giving away 21 sats. Why is that?

Should I change my default zap to 21 sats?

If your default zap is less than 21, then you probably should raise it.

It’s just a fun number for us and since zapping is so reciprocal it doesn’t matter very much what the norm is.

why 21 is fun?

I think it's unfair to peer pressure others to zap a certain amount as a minimum/standard..to each their own.

It’s not peer pressure. It’s advice.

It's peer pressure...come on now.

I keep mine set at 10 for default but I zap anywhere between 10-1000 depending on the content.

So this is a zap-bait post. Got it. Zapped

not really a bait. I just feel out of the loop

I was going to make a ~meta post about the various symbolic numbers that get used frequently.

I think it’s fun to have numbers that carry a little weight beyond just their size.

reply

Please do it. I'll zap you 21 sats

Consider it in the queue.

21 is just a magic number for bitcoiners:)

These days my default zap is 21 sats, because I find it easier to keep track. It seems that we must zap at least 100 sats every day to keep our cowboy hat. Which means I must zap 5 Stackers every day. Of course, I zap more if I find a comment useful. So it’s convenient to “clock” 21 sats

Zap what you are comfortable with. 21 is just a significant number for many people here.
