Something is cooking... #bitcoinamsterdam https://nostrcheck.me/media/0229da7e2bf07b6deea3af02acfb553671076949b44735e59b5552e260579b57/9f5d2598d06a59a0fe6e90ee754cd054d8c323d81108cd40652d54663968bc95.webp
How I met nostr:npub1hqaz3dlyuhfqhktqchawke39l92jj9nt30dsgh2zvd9z7dv3j3gqpkt56s in the Bitcoin world is unique to this community. We initially connected online and later met in person at a Bitcoin conference, unaware of each other's identity. After sharing a beer and engaging in a fascinating conversation at BBQ restaurant Braai, where I organized a meetup, we parted ways. It wasn't until a few days later, back home, that I realized we already knew each other from our online contact.
I’m thrilled to finally have Avi on the show after two years!
nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle you are more than welcome!
