I recently went to pay for a service in #Bitcoin, but the merchant used Coinbase’s payment platform. 🤮
It had several options. You could use your Coinbase account to make a transfer. You could “link” your wallet to some service requiring sign-in. You could use Metamask. 🤦♀️
But it did not offer a simple Bitcoin address, or Lightning invoice. Unusable garbage. Had to pay with credit card instead. 👎
