Agreed. But not super practical today.

I think the current blocker is that most merchants don't accept yet. They (correctly) reason that they won't get new customers via accepting it

The (understandably) don't want the hassle of having to collect magical internet money and the hassle of converting it to fiat. That will slowly change as more normies, including merchants, realise how good it is.

In the meantime, all we can do is keep improving the technology for every part of the system, and educate more people about the number-go-up technology 😃, so that there is minimal friction as the normies gradually decide to get on board

We can also use P2P exchanges like Robosats. But the problem remains: If your bank sees that you are wiring and receiving money to/from strangers all over the country/continent, they will close your account, even if it's just lots of many small transactions.

Robosats is not a p2p exchange

There is a clear middleman who plays the same role as a middleman like coinbase or binance

Underground does not equal p2p

It's definitely nothing like Coinbase or Binance.

They don't have *those* things in common but they have several other things in common
