💥 NEW DOCUMENTARY - NOSTR EARLY RELEASE!

We visited 4 of Peru's most isolated villages to discover hundreds of people living on a full Bitcoin standard - all powered by a non-profit organization that is revolutionizing community building in Peru.

Join nostr:npub1aftmyhm62lrp6lwsha3yzyjy5kqdvuy7g23qg28a8q0cnmudv0ds0sdcke and me on an 8 day journey across mountains, deserts and jungles to discover the truth behind Peru's Hidden Bitcoin Revolution!

Full video below! Unfortunately, YouTube is demonetizing our video for background copyrighted music, so we'd REALLY appreciate any zaps V4V if you enjoyed our film here :)

just sent 1000 SATs. I'm hoping to see something like this happen in Kakuma, Kenya.

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.

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 nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 in the future and really be able to hold a seed phrase in self-custody. That would reassure me.

Braydon Fuller 1y ago

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.

Haven’t watched the film yet, will this week. Along the lines of this comment, nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg is an interesting solution for self custody that also scales.

DJ_Bitcoin 1y ago

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.

Julian Figueroa 1y ago

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.

Braydon Fuller 1y ago

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.

Julian Figueroa 1y ago

Should we not do these charity initiatives at all until self custody is ready to scale? Should perfect be the enemy of good?

DJ_Bitcoin 1y ago

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 interesting that in spanish there's no translation for these two different words, that in english have different meanings:

- freedom

- liberty

Nice Julian! 🤙🏼🔥🍀🫂💜

(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)

NotBiebs and 69 others 1y ago

Also, I think it’s better to put the full video in the root note instead of a teaser

IntuitiveGuy☯️ 1y ago

Yeap I completely agree with this.. or the opposite.

On YouTube trailer only, the real thing #NostrONLY.. ✊🫡💜

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.

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 )?

Julian Figueroa 1y ago

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!

just one more thing 1y ago

very interesting, so motiv is basically helping businesses get exposure and people that are unbanked. looking forward to future documenties 👍👍
