(Little advice, try to put not many words or lines text before the video or image link, so when the "implode" the content it's still visible without clicking "show more" and it will be much more visible on feed)
I'm 12 minutes in and already teared up once. Wow.

love it
Very cool.. Hope WoS never Ruggs...
What a great video. Thx to both of you. Donated immediately after watching to motivperu@blink.sv
If you need background tracks, please hit us up. Willing to provide royalty free for bitcoiners. We have 2 full albums available including instrumental only versions.
Beautiful Documentary ๐ฅฐ๐๐งก
Also, I think itโs better to put the full video in the root note instead of a teaser
Yeap I completely agree with this.. or the opposite.
On YouTube trailer only, the real thing #NostrONLY.. โ๐ซก๐
looking forward to thisโก
@Isa โก๏ธ @Julian Figueroa THANKS YOU GUYS VERY MUCH... I ALWAYS GET SO EMOTIONAL WITH THIS AMAZING WORK IN CONTRIES THAT I KNOW LIKE PERU... SEND TO ALL MY FRIENDS IN LATIN AMERICA, CHILE, PERU, COLOMBIA, BRASIL E TO EVERYONE I KNOW!!!! LFG!
just sent 1000 SATs. I'm hoping to see something like this happen in Kakuma, Kenya.
There's a special moment in the film where we capture the first NOSTR "zap-athon" in history.
We got 80+ zaps and distributed them to over 40 Peruvians and brand new Bitcoiners within the arena in under 2 hours.
View quoted note โ๐ซก
Is there a sat streaming service you could put it on?
nice work.
Dang it! I used the wrong emoji ๐ฉ but nice documentary! Thanks for putting this on my radar.
We just zapped 101k sats to this note but it doesnโt show as the top zap, any idea why?
@primalDoesnโt show up on
@Damus either
mightโve not gone thru
It was withdrawn from our wallet.
After watching it, I feel ambivalent and rather sad.
Even if there are many who have a different opinion and believe that not everyone can practice self-custody.
But I don't see any newly hard-won freedom without self-custody.
Somehow I can't be happy because when the rug is pulled out, the uninformed (who don't know the difference between the wallets) will blame Bitcoin. If my concern is not well founded, then forgive me and just wish everyone the best.
I wish for all people that they will use something like
@ZEUS in the future and really be able to hold a seed phrase in self-custody. That would reassure me.
Well thatโs weird ๐คฏ
@elsat @jb55 @miljan you guys seen this bug before ?
Did you ask Julian if received?
We got your zap! Weird it isn't showing on NOSTR...
Also thanks for the love
@Club Orange โฅ๏ธ you guys are the GREATEST
@miljan @Marko have yall investigated primal -> WOS zaps display over nostr?
Self custody is expensive. Until we can figure out how to scale it to people who are making $50/month incomes, opening and balancing channels isn't feasible for the general public.
For now, I trust custodial wallets more than I trust my bank.
Should we not do these charity initiatives at all until self custody is ready to scale? Should perfect be the enemy of good?
We zapped from the primal wallet.
The introduction of custodial wallets as a temporary solution can be good for some, but it is important not to lose sight of the long-term goals.
The pursuit of perfection is not the enemy, but the enabler of lasting change.
The good can be the enemy of the perfect if it closes its eyes to the need for improvement.
I am grateful for your campaign because it makes it clear where we developers should focus our attention. Namely to make Lightning Self-Custody possible for people with less income.
Thank you for these impressions and the push.
I do think that phoenixd, or another with a similar set of features, can be a great low-maintenance wallet for self-custody. This is what I am using. As it's a server, it can be available for payments anytime and provide LN address, zap, NWC and other features. Channels, automatic backup and incoming liquidity is automatically handled (with a fee), thus minimizing maintenance and setup time. Also the hardware requirements are minimal.
Incredible to see the finished product! Much love to ya both ๐ฅ๐งก
๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Indeed, self-custody (for lightning) can be expensive, especially in the time to set it up and maintain and to have all the features desired (always on and etc.). I think this can change though.
I remember that day! So fun.
Always make the next step better. Do what works now, while working toward an even better future.
Havenโt watched the film yet, will this week. Along the lines of this comment,
@OpenSecret is an interesting solution for self custody that also scales.

Damn! Somehow I messed up and bought my wife's special thanks credit as anonymous ๐ญ she's from Peru and very much enjoyed y'all's video. My plan was to surprise her with her name at the end of the video. Let me know if y'all do a follow-up with Perรบ so I can do it right. I don't know how I fucked that up
oh shoot!!! What is her name?
Great post ๐
๐๐ป
This was really amazing. It brought me to tears at the end and I also donated some sats to Motiv. Great work all around!
Investigating this now. Thanks for confirming that the payment was received
@Julian Figueroa. It looks like the zap receipt was not published by
@Wallet of Satoshi.

I slept on it again tonight. My stance comes from the fact that I only accept the extreme form of 0% chance of a rugpull, for me personally. But I can't apply this 1:1 to other people. Just as I can't prevent people from going through a shitcoin phase, which I also had to do.
But I can't avoid this attitude either. I wish that everyone could have the opportunity to open Lightning channels (also via LSP), which ideally would not be forced to close.
My biggest concern is that nobody suddenly has a 0 on their wallet.
Nevertheless, very nice documentary, super cuts and well done.
I am European and we are used to a critical voice being heard in every documentary, even before the end. In this case something like: dear developers, we urgently need to make sure that everyone can afford self custody, because that's another point that needs to be critically noted here.
watched this today. question I was wondering about , how are the people in the shop paying for their goods ? can they pay their suppliers in BTC too or are they doing a p2p cash out (or something else )?
Good question, not too sure. I think MOTIV might be helping some of these store owners with these connections, and they may be accepting Bitcoin as an intermediary between them and the suppliers. Not entirely sure though!
Awww that's so nice to hear! Thanks for supporting MOTIV - they are such a fantastic initiative
very interesting, so motiv is basically helping businesses get exposure and people that are unbanked. looking forward to future documenties ๐๐
Let us know
Dm'd you
Is there a better way than nostr dm?
Saints of Satoshi.
Great work, awesome project ๐๐๐๐๐๐ค
I interesting that in spanish there's no translation for these two different words, that in english have different meanings:
- freedom
- liberty
