When you clean the house and find 5050 SATs on a old Swiss Bitcoin Pay NFC card.


The whole event (Nostriga, Baltic Honey Badger, BTCPayDay) was great, with a lost of meetings, discussions and laughs, but Nostriga was definitely something special for me.
The Nostr users & tech community is old enough to have self-criticism, discuss on PoC & scalability feedbacks, but is also young enough to have "everything to build" with this new protocol, with a lot of enthusiasm, effervescence and ingeniosity.
People were like "Oh, hey, how's doing, how comes you're here, are you building something with Nostr ?", and just with that, we talked, we talked, we talked, I met so many people from all around the world.
While I've experienced some Bitcoin event previously, at Nostriga, I was like jumping from my home watertank to the ocean, with exciting discussions, open-minded & friendly people, top-notch technicians, freedom-enthusiasms, fighters for a no-censorship and privacy-respectful world, and more.
Without tagging them, while it was really fun to meet familiar face so far from home (Polto, Darko, Michel, Max, Olga, Harry, Leo, Rolland, Lucas, Yves, Copin & more), I felt really lucky to meet people like Joel, Josh, Bayer, to be introduced to people like Abubakar or Odell, and even be able to make a be-BOP demo to Derek Ross (he was so kind, so nice, so accessible, it still feels unreal).
Clearly, this week will keep a special place in my memories, and while scheduling B-Only Annecy and Adopting Bitcoin El Salvador, I'm pretty sure that, next time, I'll be on Nostriga again.
The Nostrich will win <3 Let's build a new world.
