I am thinking about a book club idea for my normie friends. Someone proposes a book that they want me to read and discuss with them on a schedule. I give them a price at which I'll do it.
For me, the price would be nowhere near enough to make it worth my time. To the buyer, the price would be enough to make them value the project but nothing substantial. Say, the value of what the two of you would consider to be a special meal / night on the town. The trick is to find an amount that is an afterthought to the spender but enough that there is at least something valuable attached to the thought.
Convert that amount to sats and agree that your friend will pay you that many sats whenever he asks you to read another book with him. I'd offer this the other way, too. ”I'll pay you 150,000 sats if you read and discuss The Scapegoat with me."
Starts to normalize the value of sats, too. "A hundred fifty k" of something sounds like a lot.
