Yes the KYC/AML is by far the biggest barrier as far as people/fans getting sats for the first time. If flow was; download app > buy sats with card > tip, it would be super easy, but the other issue with that route is self-custody/centralisation ethics.
Explaining later is bad, not explaining at all is bad, and explanation takes more than one screen along with important considerations, which is not ideal right after you just paid entry.
💡 Putting here as it just hit;
How about: Buy ticket (Fiat/Bitcoin) > % of ticket goes towards tipping balance once the person downloads the app > app on phone is entry requirement
Won’t work as well for a single event, however, for a listings app in the style of RA or Dice, it could be a way forward.
Sats are then kind of pushed as the “in-app currency”, ie “use sats get xyz benefit(s)” and Q Jump etc…
Nobody is missing out on getting access and discounts to lots of events, that why listing apps are always needed.
