You're right, it's not adoption, and it's not ideal. But it does provide a fantastic answer to the question we get from almost all people we on-board: "What can I do with Bitcoin?"
It also eases the full on-boarding of merchants accepting MoneyBadger payments (via Scan to Pay, Zapper, etc.), by pointing out that they already accept Bitcoin and are unnecessarily paying the payment processor fee to do so.
MoneyBadger is a crucial catalyst to real adoption. Success for them means going out of business because everyone accepts Bitcoin directly. They have given me no reason to doubt their sincerity.

Merchants don't onboard with MoneyBadger if they want to accept sats. The vast majority merchants use Blink wallet. A small number use Aqua.
Some print out LNURL QR codes and train staff to verify payments on customer wallets. Some generate invoices in Blink on a phone. Others use Blink's built-in, web based POS.
P.S. Props to Blink. They have shown us a lot of support in many different aspects. They (along with a few other wallets) actually integrate MoneyBadger payments directly into their wallet apps! <3

No? really? So what your ambassadors are doing out there? Ah yeah, I bet they don't present themselves as MoneyBadger reps, or do they? The important is that they promote Binance or Blink, right?
Anyway, good job, keep it up until it stands.

Your skepticism is understandable, but unwarranted in this case, I assure you.
My only affiliation with MoneyBadger is as a user, and an ardent supporter of their great work. Their Ambassadors program is far from their primary focus, and I'm not one of them. To be honest, that's the part of their work I'm least happy with too.
I'd rather spend the time on-boarding a merchant directly, rather than on-boarding them to Zapper. My only involvement with Binance is warning everyone against that casino, whenever their name comes up.
