Is nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m in your cohort? 🤣
IMHO, #cashu is the most exciting tech to hit the net in decades. In the early days of the web, most presentations had the obligatory ‘Internet’ slide and then presented the ‘Intranet’ as the next big thing. Boy, did they ever get that wrong. “Intranets” were a distraction while the internet (courtesy tcp/ip) at everything, including telcos… #cashu is going to eat the payment systems as we know them
Deja vu all over again…
We’re at the same point 30 years later. Now the big thing is the “CBDC” (which I call “intranet money”), supposedly the innovative successor of Bitcoin. That is dead wrong, like the “Intranet” of 30 years ago. What’s going to eat everything for payment systems? It’s going to be the #cashu protocol? How do I know? I don’t, actually, but I’ve been building on top of the protocol for almost 2 years now, and my enthusiasm has not waned; it has increased. This is not my first protocol rodeo - I witnessed first hand the takeover of tcp/ip in the industry, while experts where blah-blahing about “Intranets”
Anyway, I have the honour of being part of SEC-02 of the nostr:npub1s0veng2gvfwr62acrxhnqexq76sj6ldg3a5t935jy8e6w3shr5vsnwrmq5. When my boots are on the ground in #Madeira you will hear more.

I actually saw saylor in Madeira but he had more important people to talk to. The best session for me was the SEC-01 presentations. (standing room only). I actually marvelled at how they got through 21 presentations in the allotted time. nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft was masterful as the cohort whip, keeping everyone on tempo.
Both jacks were there, standing the whole time, completely engaged in the presentations.
