Many people will launch useful vibe coded apps. It's a superpower that is accessible to all.

And some of them will want to have some kind of monetary function, a direct payment, value4value, etc.

Being a merchant in a legacy system is very difficult, you need to go through bureaucratic hell, start a company, get a merchant account with the big players.

Or you can tell your favorite model to import a nice library that handles payments, such as Cashu, which will allow you to integrate lightning payments without even needing to run a node.

This will enable a whole new economy of micro apps. Accessible to those who can pay a Bitcoin lightning payment.

This will be beneficial to both creators and the consumers of these apps. They will be mostly web apps, no app store bullshit, no companies, no banks, just a simple domain and hosting for a few bucks per month. Or a home computer and some sort of exposing it, for example thorough cloudflare tunnel.

Lowering barriers to creativity is what the world needs and what we observe with Bitcoin and LLMs.

Basically state is giving us barriers and we are here to give solution. And this is value.

Not only state is giving us barriers. Like for example there is nothing legal prohibiting you receive bank transfers, not even crypto payments. But you still can't easily get a credit card merchant account, which from the legal point of view is the same as any other form of receiving money.

The root cause is usually the state, but then there are bullshit barriers added by the legacy payment systems.
