I think that for the people around here, that is WAY too much for them to deal with. This has to just look like normal dollars everywhere they look and in all interactions. All Bitcoin/Lightning/Cashu details need to be 100% obscured and denominations need to be in steady USD. "It's just our magical local merchants gift card thing!" needs to be the aura of the experience.
I wish that weren't the case, but it is. At least here. This isn't Madeira :)
I would very happily teach people what's going on under the hood if they want to know, but 99.9% of them won't.
