Dinner at Ajitama Ramen Bistro in Lisbon (R. do Alecrim 47A, 1200-014 Lisboa). They take Bitcoin, and have a special drink on the menu. Payment was very simple with Ivendpay terminal, which looks like other credit card machines, shows a QR code with balance to pay to, and prints a receipt. Waters just have to select the crypto being paid with and enter the amount.

House packed full of Bitcoin maxis in Lisbon, discussing Ordinals.

Of to Bitcoin Maximalist Meetup in Lisbon. You can find it on Meetup. Unfortunately John Carvalo (@BitcoinErrorLog) who runs is hasn't been convinced of Nostr yet.

Every time you find an article about how terrible Bitcoin's energy use is, look for the main source of that claim. 99 out of 100 you'll find Alex de Vries. That guy probably did more damage to Bitcoin and people's financial security than anyone else. https://medium.com/crescofin/the-reports-of-bitcoin-environmental-damage-are-garbage-5a93d32c2d7

I think⚡zaps are just another implication of hard deflationary money vs inflationary fiat. Specifically the wealth effect. When you have hard money and it grows in value, you feel wealthier and are more likely to spend it. When it's inflationary easy money, you get increasingly poorer, so you try hold on to whatever you feel you have left (the opposite of the common lie that deflation makes people hoard so they can spend later). That makes money, like zaps, flow easier. And you get the effect from the receiving end, where you know that you're receiving something of real value that will last, which motivates you to do something with it or to pass it on as a good deed that can actually help, as opposed to passing around highly inflationary tokens (like people did with Doge) where the goal is to just get rid of them as quickly as possible, and it being no more of an empty gesture than wishing someone good luck.

Nice meet at The Block in Lisbon. Some shitcoinery as usual, but a few other OGs there as well. Rain and cold weather, so only about 10 to 15 showed up. Bitcoin Maxi meetup tomorrow!

This thing needs encrypted private chats, and maybe ways to pay to unlock/unencrypt posts, so it can replace not just Twitter but Onlyfans. (I joke, but porn drives tech)

How it feels trying to educate nocoiners over the years. Not giving up though.
