Today our local #National MP Joseph Mooney visited Bro Barbershop one of our amazing Bitcoin merchants. @josephmooneymp was offered a hair cut and he paid using #bitcoin through @npub1eltp...mk2v It's great for our leaders to be on the ground connecting with our business owners. A smooth process and a sleek cut ⚑️ The Bitcoin Basin has nearly 40 merchants just like @bro.barbershopnz make sure you support them when you can. Check them out on our website -

Looking forward to November's meet up! THIS THURSDAY!! 20th November At @the_artshole Country Lane 5.30pm! See y'all there!! ⚑️
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 @npub1eltp...mk2v for making community events like this possible!
