So I guess it's impossible to just pay with bitcoin when using coinbase checkout? Can someone confirm? I can't believe how idiotic the crypto industry is. They've managed to re-invent the walled gardens and whitelisted integrations of the legacy financial world, lure normies in and make them think they're using permissionless systems.

It’d be too hard to run BTCPayServer

Gotta manage the complexity of the 50k shitcoins somehow bro

Unfortunately more pain is necessary. Just look at the Bank of England Gold flows now. Fractional Gold is the same as fractional fiat, and that’s the same as fractional Bitcoin.

It’s sad that people, with conviction in Bitcoin, who are scared/insecure to self-custody, will get rugged by these exchanges.

🤦‍♂️ just show me a damn invoice qr

Can’t you add any private wallet to MetaMask and pay via that?

It’s like someone’s trying to speak to me, I swear

Yes this is the experience and yes it is idiotic. The problem has already been solved. The only reason to insert that many layers is for rent seeking.

Seems like its by design.

Coinbase. That’s the issue. It’s not crypto. It’s the garden you choose to hang out in.

I’m speaking out of school here but this is a coinbase/you problem, not a bitcoin problem. IMO. I’ve had nothing but easy use when paying with bitcoin.

Sometimes AI doesn’t do what I like, I change my inputs, or shift gears entirely.

yeah, try buying a Ledger wallet woth bitcoin

Some days ago I wanted to donate some Sats to pi-hole. Saw that "crypto payment" screen and closed the browser tab... 🤷‍♂️

I was running into the same shit today. I wanted to pay for a supposedly privacy enhancing service. NGMI
