And obviously you have to accept the trade-offs, you can’t ask a merchant to operate Lightning channels.

If this isn’t possible with Lightning then you’ll have to resort to Spark, ARK or any other pedophile shit like Liquid while nothing better exists.

Otherwise we’ll keep going as we are.

This also applies to decentralized marketplace solutions.

When we can truly live without having to exchange Bitcoin for fiat then we will have won, even if not everyone does it.
Not to win anymore, but at least to be able to have a circular economy you need the help of some NPCs and NPCs need Apple-style solutions, Steve Jobs knew this very well.

So when you make an app for the Bitcoin ecosystem, once created, iterate on it by simplifying and eliminating all unnecessary options. Do this in a loop until only the essential remains without destroying its purpose.
