Between vinyl records, food, and new connections, nearly 30 people gathered at The Perpetual Lab in Santo Domingo to learn about Bitcoin, make their first transactions, and explore real-world adoption in the Dominican Republic. 🇩🇴⚡ Bitcoin education grows through practical experience and community—one conversation and one transaction at a time. Read the full recap: https://bitcoindominicana.com/2026/07/27/bitcoin-en-la-zona-the-perpetual-lab/ #Bitcoin #DominicanRepublic #BitcoinAdoption #Nostr

Anoche visitamos The Perpetual Lab en la Zona Colonial de Santo Domingo. Un espacio donde convergen comunidad, sostenibilidad, buena comida, arte y conversación. Lo mejor: pudimos pagar en bitcoin. La noche terminó con un concierto gratuito de Fefita la Grande en el Centro Cultural de España, a pocos pasos de distancia. Esto es lo que significa una economía circular Bitcoin: usar sats en lugares reales, apoyar negocios locales y fortalecer las comunidades que ya están creando valor. República Dominicana sigue construyendo su ecosistema, un comercio a la vez.

I've been online since the early days of the internet. I've used just about every major platform, operating system, and social network over the years. Lately, though, it feels like something has changed. A while back I got hit by a sophisticated AI-powered social engineering scam. Now my X account is suddenly sending messages in Chinese. Every month there seems to be a new breach, a new exploit, a new way for bad actors to weaponize technology against ordinary people. Maybe I'm getting older. Maybe I'm paying more attention. But it increasingly feels like we're living through a full-scale digital war: bots, AI manipulation, identity theft, phishing, surveillance, deepfakes, account takeovers, and information attacks happening constantly in the background. The old promise was that technology would make us freer. Today, maintaining digital sovereignty feels like a full-time job. This is one reason why I find decentralized tools and open protocols so important. We need systems that give individuals more control, not less. Anyone else feeling this shift?

Bitcoin communities are built in person. Yesterday at Rojís Zona Colonial we shared knowledge, onboarded newcomers, and strengthened the Bitcoin ecosystem in the Dominican Republic. 🇩🇴⚡ Education. Community. Adoption. 🔗 https://bitcoindominicana.com/2026/06/21/meetup-bitcoin-rojis-zona-colonial/ #Bitcoin #BitcoinDominicana #PlebChain #Nostr

From Arroyo Frío, Constanza 🇩🇴 El Cidi just wrote a Bitcoin merengue dedicated to the friends at Bitcoin Beach and the people of El Salvador. He works in agriculture during the day, studies Bitcoin with My First Bitcoin, and practices music at night. Now he’s trying to become the first Dominican artist powered by sats. If you like supporting grassroots talent and real circular economies, send him a zap ⚡ Lightning: nathanaeldiaz@blink.sv #Bitcoin #BitcoinDominicana #Zap #Merengue #VamoAlMambo

20% discount for paying with Bitcoin at Roji’s Fast Food in Zona Colonial ⚡ Adoption is happening in the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 Located on Isabela Católica Street, this is the first restaurant accepting Bitcoin in the area — with many more coming just steps away. Tourists spend sats. Locals receive them. Businesses grow. That’s how circular economies start. 📍

🇩🇴 Google is setting up a digital exchange hub in the Dominican Republic — ~$500M investment. At today’s price, that’s around 7,420 BTC. The Caribbean is becoming serious digital infrastructure territory. Who’s next? AWS? Microsoft? A Bitcoin-native data center? 👀⚡ #Bitcoin #BitcoinDominicana #Caribbean #Nostr

Arroyo Frío, Constanza 📍 No banks. Weak signal. Still building on Bitcoin ⚡ Up in the mountains, sats move quietly. Community first. Education first. Circular economy first. The future doesn’t always start in big cities… Sometimes it starts where the signal is low but the conviction is high. 🇩🇴 #BitcoinDominicana #ArroyoFrio #Constanza #CircularEconomy #Bitcoin ⚡

Merengue is a dying art. If we don’t support local artists, who will? Next meetup: Arroyo Frío, Constanza 🇩🇴 Live merengue. Paid in sats. Circular economy in motion.

Back from El Salvador feeling grateful. Huge respect to the teams behind My First Bitcoin and BTCPay Server for openly sharing tools and knowledge. POS systems. Bolt cards. Education frameworks. This is what makes circular economies real. Back in the Dominican Republic, we keep implementing, teaching, and building. Open tools + open knowledge = stronger communities. ⚡🇩🇴 #bitcoin #circularEconomy #Caribbean

Bitcoin beach, it was a pleasure.

The momentum is building up for the Bitcoin Circular Economies Summit #bitcoinbeach #bitcoindominicana

Back at Bitcoin Beach 🌊⚡️ The coming weeks are for learning, shared experiences, and hands-on tools—things we can take back home and pass it forward. Building quietly, learning deeply, and strengthening the bridges between communities. Proof of work isn’t just code—it’s people. #Bitcoin #BitcoinBeach #LearnBuildShare #PayItForward #Nostr #bitcoindominicana

Just used the remote login feature. I ditched Windows and switched to Linux. I was looking for a browser extension, but this came in very handy. #nostr #primal #linux

Primer negocio en la provincia de Pedro Brand coloca su letrero de aceptación de Bitcoin, marcando la apertura a un nuevo tipo de clientes. Con este paso inicia un nuevo capítulo para la provincia y para la comunidad que sigue creciendo allí. ⚡🇩🇴 #republicadominicana #bitcoin #dominicanrepublic

Excited to be speaking at @Adopting Bitcoin ⚡️

The Money Matrix A raw glimpse into reality kids gambling in the streets of Santo Domingo. A vicious cycle repeating itself, generation after generation. This scene isn’t just a game; it is a symptom of a broken system, a reflection of lost opportunities, and a trap that keeps our youth chained to poverty. This powerful piece of art, donated to us, carries a bittersweet truth. It reminds us of the potential being wasted not because of a lack of talent or dreams, but because of limited options. We are working to break these chains. With Bitcoin, we are building a path toward financial education, opportunity, and freedom. In the Dominican Republic, we are opening new horizons creating real alternatives so the next generation won’t have to gamble with their future. We believe change starts one life at a time. Vamo’ al mambo. ⚡🇩🇴 #bitcoindominicana #freedom #dominicanrepublic #art
