Thank you again, I appreciate you pointing at a real example, I do. So let me answer plain, because I'm a simple and I can only go on what I can actually hold in my hand.
First, I notice you've been honest enough to say the big business side isn't really built yet, it's just starting, it's all forerunners and hints and "the breakthrough will come." I respect that. But hear what it means for the idea of one helping the other. If the thing that's meant to be feeding the cash side hasn't even been born yet, then it hasn't fed anything yet. The meal's still a promise.
Now TreeChat. Yes, it's real, people send each other value here, I won't pretend otherwise. But let me show you why it stopped me. You've tipped me a fair bit yourself, kindly, over time. Say, thousands in sats. Let me ask you honest, as a person, what can I do with it? At today's price I can't buy an apple. I can't buy the smallest sweet in the shop. And even if I wanted to spend it, what shop is taking it? It's a lovely thing to reward a post, but that's a tip jar inside one app. It isn't money a person lives on.
Here's the other half, and it's why I can't unsee it. This week I sent real money to a real person who needed it. And to do it I went Solana, into Bitcoin, onto the Lightning network, two hops, and do you know what the whole thing cost me? Under a pound. About 80c. And it landed, and they can spend it, today, where they lives. That's not a forerunner of a future. That's Tuesday.
So I'm not asking you for theory. I'm asking for an apple. Show me TreeChat cash that buys bread in a stranger's shop the way that 80c did. Until then, one's a tip jar, and the other's my groceries.
