My take on it...
We've had the ability to give lightning tips on Twitter through the tipping me extension for years now. Unfortunately, it didn't gain enough traction.
Facebook should be questioned if it wants to create a currency that can be controlled. The implications are enormous considering that its number of users is close to the sum of the top 3 countries in terms of population.
Never expected Twitter to directly add lightning payments to their platform due to regulatory implications. But do we really want this? Especially from the centralized corporations that collect and sell our data?
It feels like we're entering "be careful what you wish for" territory and tend to forget that the ultimate goal is decentralization.
Kudos to all those building the and on #nostr protocol! Achievement unlocked. It's far from perfect and I think it will face challenges and needs to prove itself over time. Build it, break it, fix it! 🔥
