I have to admit that I don't care at all about normies. The question of "will a normie use this" is not interesting to me. As long as anyone can do it if they want, it's all good.

Will normies ever use Bitcoin? If they are stupid, they won't, if they are willing to learn, they will. There should be ways for them to get it ( vexl 😎 l is here. ...but a normie wants to pay with card and not meet strangers in shady coffee shops... Have I told you I don't care about normies?)

But a normie would not use encrypted messenger, they need their Zuck-approved spyware or a hosted spyware (telegram). My mom uses Signal. So can your normie friend.
