 Does cashapp give each user a lightning address?

Wen zaps?

Then normies can see everything as dollars on front end but secretly it's all bitcoin 😈

 That's not a lightning address. It requires a new invoice for each payment which is a pretty bad ux vs paying to name@cash.app

 I see you know nothing about UX and design.

Do you think the specialists at Cash App wouldn't have done what you're saying if it was really better? How naïve.

 You're right.

Whoever wrote the spec for lightning addresses is an absolute 🤡

 I hear BOLT-12 is coming in Two Weeks™ to fix this.

 Nope. Don't know, don't care. It works for whatever I'm doing.

 Isn't the best UX the one that's easiest for normie use? From a mass-adoption perspective at least.

 Probably just use ZBD.  Wallet of Satoshi is not available in my hunger games region.

 That would be a nice upgrade tbh but I don't really trust cash app. Where's the keys? Why is there unavailablity during certain times?  @CashApp

 Yes, everyone on cash app is assigned a lightning address. Not sure how many use it. It might be a good idea to buy some just in case it catches on...

 Forgot to ask you this earlier @jack, when ⚡Lightning addresses for @CashApp users like @jack mallers did for @strike?

 Do you really think that's the way forward? A sort of disguised adoption?

 It's a way forward for some people. If people want dollars (lol) then why not if cash app and strike can convert it for them

 NO. NOR DO THEY LET YOU PAY LN INVOICES WITH FIAT. SEEMINGLY ZERO INNOVATION IN YEARS.

 Cashapp doesn't do this but Strike does. But normies don't use Strike 😂🤷‍♂️
