I recently went to pay for a service in #Bitcoin, but the merchant used Coinbaseโ€™s payment platform. ๐Ÿคฎ

It had several options. You could use your Coinbase account to make a transfer. You could โ€œlinkโ€ your wallet to some service requiring sign-in. You could use Metamask. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

But it did not offer a simple Bitcoin address, or Lightning invoice. Unusable garbage. Had to pay with credit card instead. ๐Ÿ‘Ž

Worth sending a message to Head of Finance or better still the owner about nostr:npub1cwneqlnjgs3rdtk97c2ffy2df9dm5zycgj3dsg8c3z00hchxjmfqtvraju ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ

Bro does Coinbase even Bitcoin?

Looking at you, simplelogin ๐Ÿ˜

They did not understand Bitcoin.

This happened to me the first time I tried Venice .ai - they fixed it later but still was shocking to see.
