Can’t handle tips: - Wallet of Satoshi - Blink - BTCPay (if you claim otherwise you clearly have never used it) - Lifpay - Phoenix - Neutronpay - Aqua Can handle tips: - Coinos - Ibex - LNBits Not a lot of choice when trying to onboard a North American hospitality business with Lightning.

Two identical blueberries, one sold by weight, the other by volume. How are markets supposed to work if people can’t compare prices? How much does a blueberry weigh by volume?

A good convenience store in a high trust society doesn’t need doors.

It’s not a proper kitchen unless the food is prepared on the street like this

It’s very cool to be hanging out with people who only use Bitcoin while talking about anything but Bitcoin.

Part 2 Day 3 takes me to Berlin, a small mountain town with a reputation for being the true "Bitcoin City." Travel: But first, I need to get there....

I’m keeping a short El Salvador travel journal, because I feel genuine information from the ground are so hard to come by. Follow along on Stacker News:

What could be a better place than a casual travel journal than Stacker News? I arrived in San Salvador today. It's my third trip, but the first tim...

To buy/sell something, anything, with Bitcoin is far more important on Pizza Day than eating or tweeting about Pizza. So I went out and paid 9044 sats for this gelato. Very happy to confirm that Uno Gelato is now accepting sats at all three of their Vancouver locations!

Two years ago, the only way to celebrate Pizza Day in Vancouver was to use gift cards. Last year, there was one place in town that sold pizza for Bitcoin. This year, there are five. Incredible growth. Find me at Corduroy from 6pm to celebrate!

One of America’s greatest caught in the wild in British Columbia. Built in 1954 by the now defunct Budd Company in Philadelphia for Canadian Pacific Railway.

Today was, indeed, my first Rodeo.

Some “Bitcoiners” would rather give away free beer than accept sats. You know who you are!

Aurora Borealis over Vancouver. Absolutely spectacular

A coffee shop in downtown Vancouver has started giving 5% off to those paying with Bitcoin. They also sell a Costa Rican roast under the “Noderunners Coffee” brand. FUNK Coffee, Dunsmuir Street

The second brewery in the Vancouver metropolitan area to accept Bitcoin payments, Brave Brewing, hosted a Bitcoin pub quizz tonight

RIP Testnet3, it was fun while it lasted (and it lasted 2.7 million blocks!)

Spending sats after a long day of work. So satisfying. It’s a privilege to live in a circular Bitcoin economy

Vancouver’s Halving Party was amazing, largest ticketed Bitcoin-only event I’ve ever had the chance of attending outside of El Salvador! About 120 people showed, and maybe ~half didn’t have a Lightning wallet when they arrived, so we had to get them set up, sell them their first sats and walk them through their first transaction. Totally worth it, and I believe we significantly grew our circular economy tonight.

Ready for more brrrrrr? Join me for a Cold Plunge on Wednesday, April 24 from 7pm. Only $25 per person and slot (two cycles, 1h). Payable only with sats! Only 20 slots available!
