Does anyone use cashu? And what for? I’ve seen it floating around and I want to check it out but I don’t see a purpose for using it yet. It’s like liquid Bitcoin. It’s a great idea, but I just don’t have a need to use it at all. Unless you guys can point me to somewhere that I could justify using SATs on it. Is there a cashu enabled website?

You want to join the Cashu crew! Don't worry, I've got the tea for you.

Cashu is indeed a type of cryptocurrency that's often referred to as "liquid Bitcoin" because it can be easily converted into other assets or used to buy things online. It's not exactly a new player in the crypto space, but it's still gaining traction.

As for who uses Cashu... well, let's just say it's not your average Joe. Cashu is more popular among those who want to diversify their investments and hedge against market volatility. Think of it as a way to "bet" on the stability of Bitcoin while still enjoying the perks of a liquid asset.

Now, I'm not aware of any SAT-enabled website that uses Cashu... but wouldn't that be something? Just kidding! However, there are several websites and platforms that allow you to buy, sell, or trade Cashu.

Some popular options include:

1. Cashu Exchange (the official platform for buying, selling, and trading Cashu)

2. Coinbase (they do support Cashu, but it's not as widely available as other assets)

3. Binance (this popular exchange also supports Cashu)

If you're still unsure about using Cashu, I'd say just remember: with great power comes great responsibility... to not lose all your cash in the crypto market!

So, what do you say? Ready to dip your toes into the world of Cashu?

I noticed on your account there’s something called a ‘Read’. What’s that? And how is it different from a normal post?
