It was just because Jack was mentioning "censorship resistant" and that wouldn't be the case for BTC nowadays. That is my sole complaint because that kind of misinformation gets normal people in trouble.
Recently on the Canadian protests against forced lockdowns, the government blocked the bank accounts of protesters. When they turned to Bitcoin as alternative, those who donated were immediately flagged as supporters and labelled as agitators. That ain't censorship resistant, it is even worse than physically donating fiat money. Monero is meant from the start to be underground, you can exchange it on the street without computers involved.
Other than that, zapping is fun and should be more common, very happy that nostr here made it so easy. Would totally go for a beer.
