We hosted our second Merchant night in The Bitcoin Basin.
An evening dedicated to the businesses behind our Bitcoin circular economy. And more importantly the people behind those businesses.
If we are to encourage a Peer to Peer society we must connect in person. Hand shakes, eye contacts and hugs.
The Bitcoin Basin is quickly nearing 40 Businesses that accepts Bitcoin as payment. That in itself is an achievement, but for us the energy and smiles in the room were the true evidence that our community is growing and building momentum.
We also launched our community library, to give our local families the gift of learning.
A huge thank you to our sponsors nostr:npub1eltphfvkul6t5ram3wc3tsnrw48p8vvg66tn2su3pmtnrthakcusccmk2v for making community events like this possible!
