My Bitcoin bank XAPO made me lie to confirm I don't invest a lot in crypto and I had to lie and state it is an extremely risky investment.

However that aside, it then told me about UMA (Universal Money Address)

https://www.uma.me/

It's like a Lightning address mike@mikehardcastle.com but for USD.

Is the fiat world copying us?

What is this, is it just lightning, or is it something built on top of lightning?

I predict nobody is going to remember Universal Money Address in 5 years. And you won't be able to find anyone who ever used it.

But if it gets in peoples consciousness that you@yourbank or you@yourdomain can be a payment address, that can only help Lightning in general, right?

Maybe? I dunno. I don't really see the value in this UMA because Zelle is already integrated with everyone's bank, and it only requires a phone number or email address to send money. And if you're sending money to family and friends, you already have their phone number and/or email address. So, what problem does this UMA address? I don't see it.
