I think you're underestimating what we're competing with. Coinbase is leaning into their self-custodial wallet (Coinbase wallet), cbBTC and stablecoins as well as payment rails by working with merchant acquires like Stripe. Bitcoin as a payment rail is behind and losing and if we continue down this route then bitcoin will be an asset like gold and no one will use it for payments. At Boardwalk, we don't like this future and don't want it to happen, so we're trying to be at the cutting edge of technology and creativity for bitcoin payments - ecash, NWC, stable value on bitcoin native rails, and much more. So we are designing for bitcoin adoption but we must be competitive with Coinbase and every other payment method or no one will use bitcoin for payments.
