People who respond with “make a PWA instead”, you are missing the point.

The point is not that we can’t circumvent this. We can stop doing things on iOS or simply not have zaps on posts.

The point is that every single app can no longer add zaps to posts. This is a big blow for the zap economy model. It means no other apps can explore what it would mean to support work with instant p2p payments. This is a blow to the future of lightning payments, marketplaces, creator economy.

There are 1.5 BILLION active iPhone users. To say, fuck Apple, let’s just do X instead is to say who cares about 19% of the world’s population.. we don’t need them in the bitcoin micropayments economy.

This demands a big response. I am not sure we are making it a big enough deal. There must be A LOT more noise happening right now.

Bitcoiners who do not understand this need to wake the fuck up.

Everyone seems surprised and crying about this but didnt you expect? It was inevitable. I'm actually surprised it took this long.

Will is right when he said something along the lines of nothing being sold. There is no expectation of payment so Apple’s own guidelines should not apply in this case.

Of course at the end of the day they can do as they please but it would be dumb to not raise awareness of these issues as they have some profound long term implications (barriers) to the bitcoin economy.

I guess per their guidelines we’d never have a zap marketplace in the first place but it was fun zapping notes without expecting anything in return.
