381 sats \ 6 replies \ @k00b 11h \ on: Has v4v failed ? bitcoin
v4v is a rebrand of tipping/busking. I'm just riffing but ...
- Tipping works in American restaurants because it's culturally/socially enforced.
- Busking works because there's a captive audience, you make explicit asks, there's scarce entertainment on a sidewalk, and it's understood that this how the person makes a living
Posting online alongside millions of other people that do it for status and other externalities doesn't appear to have what I think makes busking work.
Generally, bitcoin culture is anti-spending and therefore anti-tipping. I think bitcoiners have taken this to an extreme place to prove a point (ie earning money without extremely hard work is fiat), but I don't see that changing soon.
If SN does this better, it's because you can make money here by spending money here. It's more like a prediction market than it is tipping.

how many times I have to be right until you will pay attention to my words?

keep "selling SN" as a milking cow and you will end up dry...
you will remember my words someday.

couldnt anything with zaps be seen as a milking cow though? like reddit doesn't have zaps, but even there we have karma milkers

when you will earn sats for your regular work you will understand what I mean by "pay to post"...
Until then veeeery few people will get it. 99,9% of people are still trapped into fiat mindset. Will take at least another decade until they will get it.
Meanwhile ... I am far ahead of them.

i find that it's so hard to actually get sats for anything that even 500 sats is thrilling lol, despite it being like 5 fiat cents
