If you use Bitcoin just for the sake of being "a rail" or better said "the new paypal-coin", it means you know very little about Bitcoin.

A reminder:

Abstract. A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.

That's why we use Bitcoin. Not to be a new paypal.

Yea using Bitcoin in such a way just seems retarded. Might as well just use a shitcoin as the rail lol

You could. And it would be a Shitcoin rail. But c'mon, let's be honest, no one uses Shitcoins for payments. They use them to eat and rug one another.

Agreed, but in this context, using Bitcoin is just adding unnecessary overhead as a payment rail, where the end user wouldn’t even know their payment was just handled over it. So why not just use a shitcoin network with instant confirmation and no fees such as Nano 🤷

Because shitcoins are centralized you dolt.

To be used with a centralized payment provider because that makes total sense ya fuckwit

Plugging centralized payment processors into a centralized shitcoin network achieves nothing except reinventing the existing system. The revolution here is plugging companies and payment processors and users all into the decentralized bitcoin network. That achieves global interoperability on a scale and payment settlement on a pace never before seen.

You are not achieving anything than perpetuating the use of fiat.

FIAT MUST DIE.

And will die only if you do not use it, in any form or shape.

Here’s your award

Don't be fooled by fiat pimps words...

“Would allow” does not mean “would only be used for”

And I have a wild hunch that nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5 is not using Bitcoin “just for the sake of being a rail”

Darth is a zealot and that’s ok. We need his type. He tends to be a little unrealistic though 😂

I’m a big fan of Darth. But if I skip the opportunity to split hairs over a niche topic, then why would I even Nostr

Hahaha, great reply! Just like me often insisting on zapping, if you don't like my zaps, don't have a wallet and you are safe from me... 😉
