One simple UX improvement for Primal: show Bitcoin values in users’ native currencies instead of defaulting to USD.
Right now, USD pricing creates friction for most people. You’re constantly translating value in your head, which makes Bitcoin feel less usable in real-world situations.
Real example:
A UK user travels to El Salvador 🇸🇻.
They walk into a shop where the merchant uses a static QR code (no amount included).
The price is listed in USD, so the user has to:
• Convert USD → GBP mentally
• Then GBP → sats in their wallet
• Then manually input the correct amount
That’s a lot of steps for a simple payment.
If the wallet/app let you quickly switch display currency to USD on the fly, you could instantly understand the price and pay the right amount without friction.
Switching display currency would:
• Make cross-border payments intuitive
• Remove mental math and mistakes
• Improve real-world usability of Bitcoin
• Help Bitcoin function as actual money, not just an asset
Bitcoin is global—UX should be too. Let users think in whatever currency fits the moment.
