Beautiful Flower City-Guangzhou,my hometown.

Your government can kind of just take away your passport, trap you inside, and make it hard to get a passport elsewhere. By controlling your access to your own identity documentation.

It happens to little out-of-favor groups primarily.

But it's important to remember that power is there.

this seems like a totally stable and decentralized blockchain to use for the US government.

I spend a lot of time in the asknostr hashtag helping folks out. Absolutely one of the most common pain points is figuring out how to both send and receive zaps. Usually, they will have their lightning address in their profile so they can receive, but they haven't yet connected their wallet to be able to send.

Or else they are Primal users who set up the integrated wallet on mobile and are wondering where it is on the web, or why they can't use the same balance on another Nostr client, or they forgot to add the lightning address to their profile...

The friction of getting set up for both receiving AND sending zaps from the same wallet can be exceptionally frustrating for folks.

Meanwhile, NIP-60 eCash wallets can completely alleviate this. Log into a new client? Don't have to set anything up. Your eCash is already loaded and ready for zapping, locked to your npub so it can travel with you from client to client. And even easier for brand new users. The client can add a lightning address for a default mint to their kind 0 profile at the time they onboard and they can immediately send and receive zaps.

Legacy social media is abuzz with the news that Twitter is partnering with Visa to enable peer-to-peer payments. To the inexperienced, Twitter embracing the value for value model could seem like a positive step. However, there's more meat to this story. Twitter has a history of censoring users. Why would anyone want their money to be subject to the same censorship as their communications? Better solutions exist.
