On @Fountain listeners can now tear down that paywall with sats. Very cool to see @TFTC spearheading this (The payment is in sats even though the UX may lead the viewer to believe it was made in USD) Also a shoutout to Tom Staavi who visited @Andreas Harding's show and wanted to see a future where users could pay by streaming money. Well, the future is here, just not evenly distributed yet! 😄

Hey @BULL BITCOIN! The alias option is removed from "Pay anyone" in Argentina. I'm already missing it dearly, when will it be back??

In light of the recent episode of What Bitcoin Did I finally got around to read @`gladstein`'s piece in the journal of democracy. Simply a tour de force, really impressive and a must read!

Today, governments can see who buys what, who pays whom, and who donates to which cause. But they cannot easily trace or confiscate Bitcoin. The di...

@hal do you know if GrapheneOS only can be used on google pixel phones or can it be used on Samsung phones also?

Two red cards, hooligans on the fence with helpless dogs trying bark them down to restart the game 🐶🐶 Goalless, but still fun at the Mendoza derby between Independiente Rivadavia and Godoy Cruz ⚽️🇦🇷

@hal and other argentinian nostriches, what is the best way to find a decent second hand android device in 🇦🇷? Or best to get a new one? Need it for apps only available in 🇦🇷 and to play around with graphene.. @🇦🇷🧡 Marcel 🟠⚡️ #Bitcoin is Hope 🙏 @negr0

@hal Tell me what you know about bitcoin services that integrate with Pago Facil and Mercado Pago in Argentina

Welcome to your new job Japanese Liz Truss

Tonight’s bedtime musings with my son: «Dad, I should just stop doing my chores, and just wait until I’m rich» Me (thinking the little hodler should stay humble and keep working for money no man can print): «mhm» «Do you remember when I used to get 8000 sats for emptying the dishwasher? That was crazy.» Me: «We’ll be negotiating the allowance down at christmas» «I won’t do chores for less than 2000 sats per day» Me: «I might do those chores myself…»

In a park in Argentina I just paid a street merchant 3000 pesos by sending sats over the lightning network, using the new awesome feature from @BULL BITCOIN that integrates with mercado pago (which is everywhere here) and converts sats to pesos on the fly. 🧡

To spot a higher peak than this you would have to travel apx 18000km

From @HRF Financial Freedom Newsletter #92 "In 2024 alone, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) spent 315 billion naira ($210 million) on issuing currency" Imagine if the spent that money on ... something else

Anyone in Argentina who has experience with starlink? Want one.
