I just had one of the most serendipitous, fortuitous events happen EVER on one of our film shoots.

Earlier today, my partner and I had a flight cancellation in NYC while shooting a documentary about what it means to be a bitcoiner.

Naturally, we went on the Orange Pill App @orangepillapp to see if any bitcoiners could help us out - as we were well over our documentary budget and needed a place to stay since the earliest flight rebooking was 2 days later.

After just 45 minutes of posting the message, @HODLhuddle gets in touch and offers her place to us.

Turns out - she joined Orange Pill App just *8 HOURS* or so earlier this same day by sheer coincidence, all because she happened to ALSO stumble upon our latest documentary (without knowing we were the same stranded filmmakers/creators), which reminded her of the bitcoiners she had met in New York at @PubKey_NYC.

Now, we're staying at her place until our next flight - and this entire encounter is fundamentally changing the story of our documentary as we live through the unexpected generosity and hospitality of a member of the bitcoin community in real time.

TL;DR - Bitcoin is much bigger than money. There are forces beyond our perception that bring us together ♥️

That’s amazing 🫂

is the nostr:npub1ve8qwrlztemdmnh62jffcr0y9m9dpqgqjdg8ufx7gc3qw5wdk74qyv9ka6 worth paying for? i'm wary of things that don't let me taste the value before pushing for a membership... they should at least have a 'free for a few days ' feature or something, so I can get a sense of what value it actually brings before parting with my hard-earned sats.

Free trials attract the wrong kind of members: spammers, scammers, bots, shipcoiners etc etc. however the monthly membership is only $3 and can be cancelled anytime. The idea that everything should be free is a fiat disease that will push us to “you’ll own nothing and be happy”. We will not participate in that.

fair play, i'm not saying it should forever be free, just that i'm unlikely to pay for something without having seen what it does and why it would be valuable to me... if you can find a way to demo that more clearly, i'd be more open to paying 😃

I think the other issue is that since it’s basically a list of bitcoiners near you, you could just contact everyone nearby in the trial period and exchange numbers and then you wouldn’t gain much extra by continuing the subscription

Free trials don’t make any sense for a networked product.

love this 😀 ❤️

Bitcoin IS the social layer .. or as nostr:npub1jt97tpsul3fp8hvf7zn0vzzysmu9umcrel4hpgflg4vnsytyxwuqt8la9y says: we ARE Bitcoin

Oh wow. 💜

The real stacking is the frens we make along the way.?
