Maybe I'm just out of touch because I never use Apple/Google Pay and still use cards, but I think it would help with adoption as medium of exchange (for consumers and vendors) if we could somehow get a physical card (like satscards) that can use swipe/tap-to-pay, but the card is somehow tied to a lightning/ecash wallet. Could start with Strike users having their own card tied to their wallet (I would love a cool black card with the Strike logo).
Next level would be for more technical users to be able to set up a card that is linked to their self-custodial wallet (like Alby Hub).
Of course on the vendor side the point-of-sale apps would need to be able to support this (Like Zaprite and Square).
I don't know, I'm just thinking of ways to reduce friction for normies. Want to be able to just get a card in their hands and tell them it'll work wherever bitcoin is accepted.
Maybe this has already been thought about and I just haven't seen it yet.
