Despite bad weather, the ongoing bear market and the world cup final a record number of 13 plebs attended yesterday’s Bitcoin walk in Vienna. It’s so great to see that our community is slowly but surely growing! 🧡
"The greater the power, the more need there is for transparency, because if the power is abused, the result can be so enormous. On the other hand, those people who do not have power, we mustn't reduce their power even more by making them yet more transparent."

Last week I had the privilege to interview @isabella for my Bitcoin book project. We talked about her projects on BTC island and how to bring more women into the Bitcoin space.
She is for sure the most positive & energetic Bitcoin influencer I had interviewed so far 😅
Ps: I hope to finish all the interviews till May, then I gonna continue writing.
A few weeks ago, the restaurant Mixtura Latina was listed on BTC Maps as one of the restaurants in Vienna that accepts Bitcoin.
Vienna is a city with more than 2 million inhabitants, but so far there was only one Bitcoin-friendly restaurant in the city. So, I was eager to check this claim and I organized last Saturday’s bitcoin walk with the goal to field-check.
When our group arrived at Gleisgarten, the food market where Mixtura Latina is located, we quickly realized that we were probably their first customers trying to pay with Sats.
However, after some initial confusion, they still used the non-custodial Wallet of Satoshi, which cannot receive funds inside the EU, we were able to make our payments.
We will most certainly return, and I can only ask you to support this place and encourage it to continue its Bitcoin-friendly policy by paying there with Sats.
Love, Phil
