Great Update for #BTClock! Thanks @Djuri The nwc balance is also activated. Ready to receive some Zaps ⚡and to test the display functions. Some Zaps are welcomed

Tested two new apps today. #Nmail (https://nostrmail.org) worked great! I enjoyed using it! Email through a free protocol! #Noscall didn't worked that well, relays had connectivity issues. The calling was coming through, connection couldn't be established. Very promising for the future! I would love to see this getting better! ✌✌✌ @sana

Every day more bullish on #Nostr

With governments around the world increasingly tightening restrictions on self-custodied no-KYC Bitcoin — from South Africa and Australia to the European Union and beyond — it’s only a matter of time before everyone is affected. The question is no longer if this will happen, but when to you too. Make your planB according to the country and placed you're living. It is a matter of time. Start thinking now about how to avoid total financial surveillance and control. Plattfroms like @peachbitcoin , @Robosats , @Mostro , @Bisq , @Hodl Hodl ,@npub1mftv2j67vayavkks8rqev3u8jjhefe86tf80msstfxvpunk9vmps6prkl3 , etc. offer partial solutions, but most of them still leave digital footprints behind. True peer-to-peer exchange needs to become far more active — especially through local meetups, conferences, and small trusted communities around you. Building circular economies and real human networks is becoming essential. Separation of money and state

Here are a few conclusions for my bitcoiner friends from my stay in Istanbul, Turkey. First conclusion: adoption has not increased at all since the last time I was here two-three years ago. If anything, it may have even declined. As a community, we need to admit that we’ve lost valuable time — whether through internal dramas, focusing on politicians, price goes up thinking, carrying about stablecoins, or building overly complex stuff that no one wants or knows how to use. No one with real influence and skills has made a serious effort to simply show people how to use digital money in their everyday lives — and why it matters. Even in a country like Turkey, with over 90 million people, or in a city of 20 million, where people watch their local currency deteriorate and lose value every single day. We have all failed together — each in our own way and according to our respective roles. If we carry as a community that Bitcoin will make people more free and the world a better place for the next to come, we probably must focus again to the basics.

I would like to find some merchants here that I can buy stuff and spend SATs. Are there merchants Nostr Accounts that I can follow?
