Why can’t I pay for coffee on the lightning network?
CashApp (npub1cas…dg5l) has been doing #bitcoin for years.
Square terminals are everywhere.
jack (npub1sg6…f63m) owns both.
jack mallers (npub1cn4…3vle) and strike (npub1ex7…vyt9) have also talked about consumer/merchant payments.
If the largest threat to Bitcoin is lack of adoption, why is there no visible progress in retail? Are there legal reasons in the US? What am I missing?
