I'm Saba - Founder and CEO of Workit App - AMA
18.5k sats \ 30k boost \ 148 comments \ @Workit_LN 5 Dec AMA
Hey everyone, I’m Saba from Workit (https://workit.fitness). We created a gamified fitness app that pays you Bitcoin for staying active.
Workit is the perfect solution to onboard millions of mainstream users to Bitcoin Lightning. Built with LDK, it offers both custodial and self-custodial implementations (self-custodial not yet activated).
So far, we’ve onboarded more than 10K people from the mainstream audience, each with at least a balance of 20 sats in their keychain.
Think of Workit as a game—somewhat like STEPN, but better and without the Ponzi aspect.
Workit hosts multiple step challenges each month, where you can compete with others and win Bitcoin. Along with opportunities to earn FREE Bitcoin for walking and also exercising.
Ask me anything!

What role do you think more mainstream projects like WorkIt can play in spreading Bitcoin adoption?
reply
64 sats \ 3 replies \ @Workit_LN OP 5 Dec
A pretty cool thing that has already happened is that some of our premium users, who primarily use the app for workouts wanted to play challenges and messaged us asking how to get more sats.
Some of them actually won challenges, and one even messaged me saying they looked up places where Bitcoin was accepted and bought coffee somewhere that accepted Lightning.
It’s possible to put Bitcoin in the hands of the mainstream audience and let them to actually use and spend it. However, for this to happen, overall adoption needs to grow.. at least in terms of the number of places accepting Lightning payments.
Another thing to note is that the mainstream audience is often confused about 'sats.' They’ve heard of Bitcoin, but 'sats' isn’t widely recognized. I’m considering switching to the sats symbol Bitkit proposed—it could make it much easier for everyone to understand what they’re earning. Or just using 'Bits' instead of 'sats'.
A lot of people have messaged us saying, "Hey, where’s the Bitcoin we were supposed to earn? The app just says 'sats'"

That's awesome. That's what @Undisciplined and I are trying to do with stacker sports podcast. To try and drive interest in the Sports territory to those that might not necessarily be current bitcoin holders or users. We know once people use the site and start zapping and getting zapped they will stick around and learn more about bitcoin.

It basically takes one WhatsApp-level Bitcoin app to get Bitcoin into the hands of millions!

There are many gamification opportunities to build some very cool things. To get there, we first need to succeed on a smaller scale, so maybe, as you said, in 4–5 years.
What I envision as potentially very exciting is Augmented Reality games based on fitness and general physical activity. Which can be pretty awesome

I had an existing business in the fitness and health industry that was doing really well, and I saw an opportunity to build something that could gain traction.
At the time, I was also obsessed with Bitcoin and thought it would be a cool idea to combine Lightning and fitness.
It’s a great way to get moving, win Bitcoin, or stay disciplined.

Yes, that’s pretty cool! We can even let someone from Stacker News create one. We’ll just need to provide you with the PIN for the instructor side of the profile.
The host will earn half of the cut Workit takes as a fee while hosting challenges.
In the future, we want to move that feature to the user side, so it will be much easier.

We only have access to Apple's health data, which is not stored on our end. You can use the Lightning keychain, earn 10 sats a day for free, and play challenges for free.
We generate revenue in two ways:
  1. Premium Subscriptions: Users purchase a premium subscription to unlock workout programs and personalized nutrition plans, mostly used by the weight loss community. We reward them with sats for their exercise efforts, ideally encouraging them to start playing challenges.
  2. Step Challenges: For example, 10 people bet 10K sats each to enter a challenge, creating a prize pool of 100K sats. The goal is to walk 10K steps a day for two weeks. If 5 participants win and 5 lose, we take a small cut from the pot of the participants who lost. The remaining goes to the winners.
Hope this helps!

As in: I've seen a number of these freebies/pay-for-activity apps come and go; they don't ever seem to do anything but distribute value and go bankrupt. I'll happily try it (=take your sats) but what exactly is it that you're selling, why is your product a thing at all? What is it you're making money on, etc?
Put differently again (in regards to my music-has-no-value post #796401), why am I being paid for doing something that isn't scarce and isn't economically valuable (i.e., fitness/workout/moving)?

Thanks for the answer. I mean, there's bitcoiners that use open source android OSs, that can't or won't use google or apple. Doesn't have to be a PWA, jus a downloadable APK, from github or your site. I'll pass for now, my data is my data, if you want it, we can negociate, but you won't like it ;) wish you success
