What is Value for Value?

Value for Value (V4V) is a model that flips traditional commerce: instead of paying before you know if something is valuable, you experience it first and then decide what it's worth.

This model, popularized by podcasters and enabled by Bitcoin's Lightning Network, creates a direct relationship between creators and users. No middlemen taking cuts, no advertising, no selling your data.

The philosophy is simple: if you received value, return value. The amount is up to you. Some people give a few sats (fractions of a Bitcoin), others give more. Some people give their time or skills instead of money.

It's an honest exchange between people who make things and people who use them.
