I made a BITCOIN ARUSHA version of the Whitepaper Tablet Pouch I usually create. On the other side, I used a beautiful photo of Mount Kilimanjaro and a sea of clouds. This prototype showed me that photos can actually look great when printed on fabric!

I’m not able to attend events in person, so seeing photos that show how my goods are displayed is incredibly meaningful to me. My family believes Bitcoin is a scam, so they’ve forbidden me from meeting other Bitcoiners or attending Bitcoin events. I created a website and animations to explain Bitcoin, hoping I could change the way my family sees it — even just a little. But they still didn’t understand. Now, I’ve come to think that maybe the fastest way is to prove that Bitcoin is truly being used around the world. Of course, I also hope to help people in Japan and around the world learn about Bitcoin in the right way. But at the core, my motivation might be something very simple: I just want my family to understand. That’s why seeing photos from people who have actually bought my goods brings me more joy than anything. Because it's a proof of Bitcoin truly being used as a currency — far more powerful than anything I could say in words.

"Orange Pill pencil case" — BITCOIN ARUSHA version. This was my first time trying a different logo and color variation for this pencil case, but it turned out even better than I imagined!

🌊Bitcoin Seoul 2025🌊 Bitcoin crosses borders. That day, as I watched Bitcoin payments for my handmade goods fly in again and again, I felt that more deeply than ever. Some images in this video are from PromenadeCastle / Oree

・Black pouch with the BITCOIN ARUSHA and Dance Battle Festival logos ・Purple pouch with traditional Japanese patterns and images of Kilimanjaro and Mount Fuji It's quite well done!

I started by making a simple mini coaster. Looks like I’ll be able to work on a pouch today as well.

The fabric came out quite well. I’m having a lot of fun creating goods with the @Bitcoin Arusha logo!

I’m a bit frustrated that I couldn’t get to any sewing today. But since I’ve finally wrapped up the computer work, I should be able to focus on sewing without any distractions tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to making goods with this fabric!

Today I gave my handmade goods website a major update. I’ve decided to focus more on showcasing custom-made items. I also want to actively explore accepting payments via Zaps on Nostr!

I spent the whole day today working on my online shop and doing computer tasks. I added a line to the payment section: “I’ll send you a Lightning invoice. Zaps on Nostr are also accepted.” Accepting payments through Nostr zaps seems like an interesting experiment!
