if web apps integrated it directly into their "in-app currency (that you can actually withdraw any time)" normies would be using it without realizing.

hypothetically, sure. would be amazing to have airlmiles-like private tokens and such... but just feels a ways away. getting ppl on SATs is hard enuf
if you have a few minutes to spare, take a look at this video of an over-simplified mockup and tell me if it would be 'hard' to get on board for a newb. i think if anything it would be so easy that they wouldn't understand it's real money; they'd see it like video game points:
For a nostr newb, or a normie newb, are two seperate things.
"Upwork, but with Bitcoin". Clever idea.
Obfuscate as much as possible behind the UX... And make it slick. You've done a good job as this.
The layout is simple which is nice. But man. We're all in a tough spot.
All this stuff is complicated and normies only want what's easy. Mass culture is always "lowest common denominator".
The hard part is making it work... E cash mints blow up. Or don't work. Lightning is still unfinished with routing issues. Etc...
The hierarchy is something like...
Compiling FOSS stuff < Developing and coding <
Node running and Mining < Self custody and Nostr < < ETFs < What is Bitcoin < What is Money < Critical Thinking.
Godspeed man.
upwork but for bitcoin: https://catallax.network
lol sorry i misread this notification.
i haven't built a production-ready client for catallax, only a few references and demos of the protocol in the hopes that others will build a specific client for their use case.
