Many Lightning Network wallets offer a 'messaging' or 'note' feature to attach to a transaction. This can be used instead of regular text messaging!

When transitioning between apps like Wallet of Satoshi (WOS), Phoenix, and Stacker, there might be occasional issues with message delivery - so sticking to a custodial one makes this easiest. I recognize that this approach may seem contrary to the conventional cypherpunk perspective, but it's the game theory element that captivates certain individuals, not just the logic of taking the "orange pill" or abstract rhetoric.

There's a strategic aspect at play here – it's all about GAME theory. Introducing a newb to the concept that Wallet of Satoshi is custodial, and should NEVER be used for holding significant amounts of Bitcoin is a crucial initial step. (strong emphasis!)

Yet, is creates a fun way to USE the wallet to send messages to one another WHILE attaching these messages to Sats! (It's vital to emphasize the lack of privacy at play here too!)

This is why I use WOS sometimes. It enables me to send amusing, lighthearted, and engaging messages to people in my network in an entertaining manner. This approach piques their interest in the broader concept of Bitcoin and financial sovereignty. Plus the UX is easy, slick and the notifications are fun too.

I think this approach is sticky. Thoughts?

Hm. Say no more I'm in.

Plus if you have notifications turned on then you're getting notified just like a text mssg
