We are somehow still waiting on consensus and implementation of standards like Bolt12 and lnurl.
Some of the biggest exchange wallets, like Cash App, seem disincentivized to let users spend their Bitcoin, instead keeping it on their platform. They don't allow sending to lightning addresses, for example, only invoices, even though "regular" custodial solutions like Alby have done it for a long time (and it's stupid simple to implement).
The point is, it's going to be the little guys leading the way, which means only us nerds will use it.
Thank you very much for your response. As for what you say is true, sometimes the technology is not understandable by all, and less by the large entities that lead the industry. But as you say it is us, the little nerds who try before anyone else the technology and somehow we make it accessible to others who do not understand it. Something is a start, and I believe that Bitcoin (despite what they say with ETFs), is now in all the news and world propaganda, something unthinkable a year ago. something good will come out of all this, its use is undeniable and people are already using it more than before. Time to time.
