I briefly met @Jordi Llonch Esteve last year, like you meet anyone who’s visiting… quick chat, nice conversation, that’s it. This year I texted him: “Are you coming to El Salvador?” He said he had no plans. I told him about the event we were organizing at @BitcoinBerlínSV. He jumped on a call right away to help me set up our calendar on @Satlantis: Social Events Two days later… “I got the plane ticket.” 🙌🏼 I’m really glad I sent that message. And even more glad you came. We spent almost two weeks with the team. Building, learning, and laughing about first-world and third-world things like old friends. Honorary team member unlocked 😅 Thanks for helping us all the way through the event.

After 2 years helping merchants accept Bitcoin in @BitcoinBerlínSV, we kept answering the same questions, often at any time of day. We realized merchants needed answers even when we weren’t around. So I decided to write a simple guide: practical, clear, and written the way merchants actually speak. I shared the idea with @npub1z705...jh6c at a Bitcoin Women brunch in January 2025. Turns out she was a ghostwriter. One year later, we printed the first edition 🎉 This book is free for merchants and for anyone helping onboard businesses to Bitcoin. Huge thanks to @npub1z705...jh6c for keeping me focused and pushing this idea into reality, #PatyRosales for helping write it in merchant language, #PattyLarín for bringing the book together, @npub18h43...h3e6 for the beautiful magazine vision, the Bitcoin Berlín team for trusting me with this project and the merchants for all the questions that inspired the book, our beta readers especially nostr:nprofile1qqstkd922mu07tzf3ns52x0v6ttulmxs3pfr3snfw7hslshtcuuz6gcpzamhxue69uhkzarvv9ejumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz775g7wmfor tech sanity checks, and #paystand for sponsoring the printing so we could give it away for free.
