📢 To any safety-conscious #bitcoiners in my network:
I’m working with a new startup that’s developing a #Bitcoin wallet that protects users from physical attacks and hacks: https://bitvaulty.com/
We’re in the process of finalising our beta roadmap and are looking for a few participants to interview, to ensure we’re heading in the right direction.
As a thank you for participating, we’re offering lifetime access to our basic plan (normally $15/month), which includes our native time-delayed transactions and 2-of-2 Multisig—available to you at launch ⏳🔏🔏…🧾
If a 60 min interview sounds like a worthwhile trade for free lifetime access, DM me or comment on this post and I'll send over an interview scheduling link 📅
The more I watch this stuff play out, the more it makes me want to quietly and consistently give my attention to onboarding everyone into #bitcoin and make these centralised powers that-be defunct, once and for all.
Excited to announce that we've accepted BitVaulty (https://bitvaulty.com/) as our first Bitcoin-native business into Bitcoin Studios (https://bitcoinstudios.xyz/) 🎉
BitVaulty, participant in the pitch contest at nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r, is a much-needed addition to #bitcoin self-custody, offering multi-signature security and, more notably, 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦-𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, to ensure users can finally, and safely, become their own Bitcoin bank.
Keep an eye on this space, because Francesco and team have an even more broadly applicable use-case for BitVaulty up our sleeve—a problem that users won’t even need to know is being solved by Bitcoin😉
This might be a cardinal sin but since @balajis isn’t posting here:

To all #bitcoiners in Scotland, and anyone who wants to visit!
I'm setting up a Bitcoin Startup Studio and Coworking Community in Edinburgh, at our temporary location: Levels Café and Lounge, every Thursday from 10am - 4pm, until the end of Aug 2024.
Come along if you can make it!
Would be super interested in a history lesson about how the web was hijacked by big players like Verizon in US and BT in U.K.
Guess it was mostly because we didn’t have the infrastructure in place and only they could foot the initial bill?
If so, how do we mitigate that possibility for Nostr? Relays still have to be paid for after all… nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s

A few years old now but recirlcling as it seems like good fodder to get a few new plebs at least a little inquisitive. Beautiful #bitcoin

Hi team,
I sent you some sats after submitting a contact form on your website, but I'm not sure it went through. The email I used was: robbie@bitcoinstudios.xyz
In any case, I’m in the process of developing a business strategy for a new Bitcoin-native startup studio. As part of the research process, I’m looking for input from aligned VCs in the space—specifically around problem and technology focus areas—so I can better direct my initial efforts.
Would one of your team be open to a call?
Best,
Robbie
Excited to say Northbound (https://northbound.digital) is first in Glasgow (on nostr:npub1864jglrrhv6alguwql9pqtmd5296nww5dpcewapmmcazk8vq4mks0tt2tq) to accept #Bitcoin (and Lightning) payments. Big thanks to nostr:npub19khxx6jqxmankz6vp4ywqpnjp9m93g0gwqeq0v69knm6l9uys35qmu2tru for making the process so seamless!
So cool. Strength to your rehabilitation back into the free(ish) world ✊
Just placed my first buy order: 
We are beyond grateful to everyone who attended the first edition of Bitcoin Atlantis! It was truly a heartwarming experience to receive you all on Madeira Island, our home. We shared these special moments with more than 3,000 enthusiastic participants and 200 incredible speakers. The feedback we've received has been phenomenal, and we couldn't have asked for a better start.
A huge thank you to our amazing speakers, generous sponsors, and dedicated partners for making this event a success.
As we move forward, F.R.E.E. Madeira will be focusing on educational projects and the growth of our local initiatives. We've decided to align Bitcoin Atlantis with the Bitcoin halving cycle, making it a unique event every four years. We'll be building during the bull market and celebrating in the halving years. ⚡
Stay tuned and see what we’ll do next by following our FREE Madeira page on X https://x.com/FREEMadeiraOrg or our telegram group https://t.me/freemadeira.
Thank you again, and we can't wait to welcome you again in the next Bitcoin Atlantis!
Great idea. Makes it much more meaningful. Also makes space for a few smaller, more specialized side events in the meantime #bitcoin #madeira

Completed my first trade on nostr:npub1mftv2j67vayavkks8rqev3u8jjhefe86tf80msstfxvpunk9vmps6prkl3 via 2nd degree connections 🤝 #WoT
Cool way to find fellow #bitcoiners but without an in-app wallet, things got a bit clunky.
Wonder how this journey will be improved with projects like nostr:npub1m0str0d7z2ww8rdh20t2n9lx520xjwhaq24p68umqp06wwrwtsnqen40un?

“Nostr + Bitcoin is the future” I wholeheartedly agree

Gradually, then suddenly!
Totally. I live in U.K. and the BBC (channel 1) is the first thing you see when you switch on the TV—even if to watch Netflix. Hadn’t realised how bad it was but they are 100% using some sort of neurolinguistic programming when they speak in those monotones. It was like something out of Dr. Who. Thank god for #bitcoin
