SLP maybe the best way to issue virtual gift cards. merchants nolonger need to build a gift card system. Issue gift card is easier than issue stable coins, and can break some BCH banning policies in some countries.
In this scenario, BCH act as fuel. When consumer pay for their bills, merchants give them 1000 sats to pay for miner fees. Merchants become the local distributor of BCH.
People nolonger need to buy BCH from online exchanges (troublesome because of KYC). we can simply buy BCH from the local gift card issuers (no need to KYC).
