I want something that's as easy as generating a bitcoin address or Nostr profile and boom you can receive zaps.
I want something as easy as CashApp. Install an app, tap a couple buttons, boom.

No, they don't. :)
Then you're out of touch with billions of humans.
This is a cool and interesting solution, but has trade offs just like any other solution and I think the trade offs are too many for me to fully like it. My main issues are speed and fees. It's only acceptable now. I don't believe fees will always be as low as they are now which makes this very hard for sending small amounts. I don't believe the price of bitcoin be always be this low, so again this makes it incredibly hard for sending small amounts. I could be wrong but I also feel that telling someone I tipped them but due to randomness, they can't use that money for an hour seems like bad experience. Maybe this last one isn't a big deal, because it's a tip and they don't need the funds ASAP. I don't like that we're setting people's keys up to be incredibly more valuable than social communication. I like that this is all part of the conversation. We need to keep having these, because ultimately someone will solve many of these issues and make trade offs minimal.
That's how it should be but we shouldn't start using centralised services out of convenience. Nothing good has ever come from such an approach as we can literally see all around us. Some things aren't meant to be easy.
