Still most prefer to celebrate WoS instead of taking self-custody. And when WoS &#34;gets hacked&#34;, they will keep saying it was fun while it lasted.&#xA;&#xA;It **is** fun and we might get better but at its current level it&#39;s a toy and not the pinnacle of the decentralized economy allowing us to dunk on shitcoiners with their respective pretend solutions.&#xA;&#xA;And yeah, if you try to zap me, my LN node won&#39;t emit a zap event and some clients don&#39;t even give you the option to tip my lightning address. Zaps are not about &#34;value for value&#34; but about showing off the value you give aka &#34;value for value for value&#34;. Maybe that&#39;s why I&#39;m not tuning in to your Kumbaya praise of zaps, trying to harvest some for myself.</html></oembed>
