I don't want to make a full post about this, but does anyone know anything about bit pay? The reason I'm asking is that my wife went to buy tickets for the new Scorsese movie and saw that bit pay was a payment choice. I then checked it out. I guess you create an account and you can make payments with bitcoin and a bunch of shit coins? I thought it was unusual to see that option, even though it's a crappy app.
Bitpay is the enemy of Bitcoin.
I can list here a lot of reasons.
Stay away from them.

I could tell once I googled the company. It is interesting that a major US theater chain is accepting bitcoin, though in a shitty way. Maybe it won't be long until we can pay on LN.

Bitpay hates LN because they were the main supporters of S2X in 2017 block size wars.
Bitpay will never implement LN.
People should totally boycott Bitpay and Conbase.
Old Bitcoiners never forget the scammers

I didn't mean through bit pay. I meant a direct lightning payment to AmC Theaters.

They can do that but will have to implement their own payment processor with BTCPay server and dump any intermediary.
But many merchants are retarded and lazy.

Yeah. I won't hold my breath.
