I'm biased but I think gaming is the most seamless way to onboard a user to Lightning. Once a user has Bitcoin in a game because they completed a quest, they are now incentivized to claim the satoshis.
Whether it's using their ZEBEDEE gamertag or by scanning the Withdraw QR code with any Bitcoin Lightning wallet, the user now has skin in the game. It's the first of many steps towards the so-called Bitcoin rabbit hole.
Play a video game with friends, get onboarded to Bitcoin. That simple. There's 3 billion gamers out in the world. Adding Bitcoin to gaming is a massive trojan horse.

Oooh, that's clever! I was thinking in terms of getting people on lightning so that they can play the games. Rewarding players with sats is a much better way to go about it!
