Its the shitcoin part that has me baffled. It isn't like there aren't or haven't been wallets that support lightning. I can't understand why the internet is just positively buzzing because Cake Wallet integrated lightning. Who gives a shit?
It's because they're among the first major wallets to add Spark (which isn't technically Lightning by the way). Same way they were one of the first to add Silent Payments and Payjoin 2.0
Why do people care? Maybe because it's modestly better trust assumptions than fully custodial Lightning (which means it's an upgrade for the vast majority of Lightning users)
I guess they have good marketing? I haven't used Cake Wallet. I was surprised when they said they have 1 million users. That's way higher than I would have thought. It is cool to see lightning show up in popular wallets even if they are shitcoin wallets (seems like a sign that they think their users want it).
Because I think a ton of bitcoin wallets are going to integrate Spark or Arkade or solutions like these. It seems like they are mostly going to call these "non-custodial" wallets. Is that a problem?
