How do people send bitcoin over email these days?

coinbase allows it. not sure how it works though but iirc the recipient gets the email with instructions on how to open an account there to claim them.

EDIT i thought in the past there were issues if the recipient either never claimed them (never signed up) or could not open a coinbase account due to location or some such. those coins did not return to the sender. this was a while ago so maybe things have changed since then?

You can use the 'textcoin' feature of Byteball to send something via email (or whatsapp or whatever) if you want to send some crypto to someone. Also, the claim back feature works flawlessly.

Usually there is a rally around the time of this event: https://www.coindesk.com/events/consensus-2018/

Wonder if it will be the same this year.
