I can't stand Reddit, so I don't know what it is they're selling in that screenshot. What coins are they talking about? I'm assuming they're not RDD, right?
It's basically having an "I'm cool badge on your jacket", does the regular stuff with removing ads, and your also able to award users with the coins and make them feel as cool as you
I don't think they'll end up enabling bitcoin payments, at least via Coinbase's commerce platform.
Coinbase is likely going to end up demanding all of the users from Reddit to verify KYC and keep compliant with all the anti-aml policies, and I don't think anyone on reddit wants to verify their identity to buy a couple of bucks worth of coins.
They might use their own platform? Maybe BTCpay server.
"You hit the NAIL on the head" with that observation ole friend. Reddit is mostly a group of anonymous posters and now people will have to give
up that anonymity to basically browse around on Reddit without the hassle of a few advertisements.
They would be better off creating their
own Crypto currency, but then the US government would be all over them, like they did with Libra (Facebook)
The problem with direct BTC
payment would be the complexity and effort that people would have to put in to do this. I think this problem needs a lot more attention and also
brainstorming to make it easier for the average user to make direct payments. (ChangeTip was nice, but it should run on the Lightning Network)
