Bitcoin payments will never play a role for the mass market. We had a window of opportunity in 2020. since then what we’ve achieved is a bunch of hacker tools and the most mass market success (Lightspark) is a glorified SigNet.

Yeah that’s what the narrative has shifted to. I don’t buy it. The big central banks and the BIS will link all the major payment networks. In fact, they have already done that in Asia, LatAm, and are building this out for major currencies like EUR <> CHF. So lightspark can connect useless corridors like Brazilian Real to Kenyian Shilling with10k payments a year. Maybe. Probably not.
