Some people got it right from the start

The typical fiat economist: The value of money comes from the state. Some prisoners of war from WWII: I'll give you 3 cigarettes for a piece of bread.

Mark Aurel gilt als der beste römische Kaiser. Trotzdem sank der Silbergehalt des Denars während seiner Regierungszeit auf unter 80 %. Fazit: Auch die besten Politiker werden ein kaputtes Geldsystem nicht retten.

The first coins were issued by merchants who vouched for their value with their names. A few decades later (630 BC), the state assumed a monopoly (King Croesus). Then: The first coins with less gold than indicated appeared. A (Coin)cidence?

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.

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 #bitcoin #proofofwalk
