After 18 months of Beta, moving over €8 million worth of Bitcoin, helping hundreds of Bitcoiners pay rent, buy houses, and earn Bitcoin with ease - We are live on App stores and Play store!
Using Bitcoin in Europe is now possible.
nostr:note14yrlm4dgccch0usq8pfhf67wm06a8jqjfzuddtjl62rk076tmv9s8ck4wz
One thing that is necessary for that is to live on Bitcoin!
nostr:npub1krveufv8unj22udw0tjngv8f0g3zdjdz64kx3dztw9tkl8r66tzq0fd3py is building tools to do the same.
Developing countries need Bitcoin more than anyone else. Unfortunately, it is hard to build a bridge from their currency to Bitcoin with no regulation around cryptocurrencies.
Gold and real estate are commonly used to escape inflation in India. Neither of them is that convenient to buy, spend (or convert to spendable currency) - so obviously people are forced to hold INR, which is losing its value rapidly.
Bitcoin is a new age tool for anti-inflation - the best part is that it is money itself
With nostr:npub1krveufv8unj22udw0tjngv8f0g3zdjdz64kx3dztw9tkl8r66tzq0fd3py - You can buy and spend 1 min upto 2-3k and 11 mins upto 15k Euros with just a few clicks. Now there are no excuses - it is only opportunity cost for holding Fiat.
Since Bitcoin is volatile, it would be hard for businesses to invest all in it. However, they can add some of it to their treasury. At Bringin, we do the same. But I live from paycheck to paycheck, with no savings—I went all in on Bringin.
Now I'm all in on Bitcoin, and I don’t keep Euros. Yes, I do provide for my family, and it's scary that my salary, or half of it, could be reduced by 15%. But I believe in the compounding upside of holding Bitcoin in the long term.
I test Bringin every single day to fit this use case. Although the bugs here and there have not been kind to me sometimes 😂. So, if you want some tools that allow you to buy and sell Bitcoin reliably and instantly 24/7, just use Bringin as it is being battle-tested to be used for people who want to live on the Bitcoin standard. It just works.
I hold sats in my Alby Hub and only convert it to fiat when I am about to order or pay for something. So I do this all the time. It has to work or I will be in trouble. I have been in trouble many times in the recent past. Not much recently.
If you want to live on a Bitcoin standard, I don't think there are many good alternatives.

Bitcoin in, fiat out. Frictionless.
Bringin is bridging Bitcoin-native UX with real-world finance, without compromising on sovereignty or speed. It’s a small revolution for anyone who wants to use Bitcoin, not just hold it. 🔐 https://blossom.primal.net/3fb77ffd3c20968af599350006df7c9ecb6d7b100a8a61d03d3cd50a75926dff.mp4
Movement of money over the internet is only going to get easier, easier than sending an email.
We have taken one of the most important steps towards that today!
Sats from self-custody to POS is 15 seconds!⚡️🚀
[100k SAT BOUNTY]
This is an experiment! I'm going to a hackathon this Saturday and I'd like to showcase to a new community the power of nostr and lightning zaps. I have 2 ideas that I would like to prototype (I'm currently vibe coding them but unlikely I'll have them totally ironed out before then). I will pay a bounty of100,000 sats each via zap (so a total of 200k sats up for grabs) for a live working web version + code/prompts for each of these ideas. I will choose the best project for each category at my discretion (and will only choose one if I think it's complete enough to showcase). I am (of course) also happy to list you on the team and give you credit for building. I just want to sweeten the pot and get this done BEFORE SATURDAY MORNING AT 9AM PT.
Here's what I'd like to build:
1) Memstr
A meme generator with nostr login and zaps. You include 5 or so popular meme templates (guy looking at girl, winnie the pooh, etc) and allow anyone to enter their own text. They're then able to share theire memes via popular nostr relays and other users are able to zap their favorite memes. A leaderboard shows the most popular memes by global zaps and by the zaps of your follows. (I'm also open to using other WoT calcs but I assume that's too complex.) You should be able to login via a browser extension like alby, paste a priv key, or spin up a new nostr identity.
2) Nostr Radio
A clone of https://radio.garden with nostr login, zaps, and a zap leaderboard. Allow anyone to login to the site via browser extension like alby, priv key, or spin up a new identity. Users can zap and share radio stations they like via popular nostr relays. Users can also zap their friends for sharing radio stations they like. There should be a leaderboard tab showing popular stations (global) and from the zaps of your friends. Again, I'm open to other WoT scores as well, but not necessary as that adds complexity.
If you're interested in working on either of these, please feel free to reply to this note with questions (for whatever is not clear) or ideas. Again, I'll only choose at most one project for each bounty and only if it's fully functional and ready before Saturday at 9am PT. If nothing's ready by then or this proves to be too difficult, no sweat! Also, I'm trying to gauge how difficult/how much work this is for someone who knows what they're doing. If the pot is not rich enough, I'd like that feedback too. Thank you!
I'd appreciate any help getting visibility for this experiment 🙏 nostr:npub13v9zh6hka0heyh5w0ru0ptdyrauf3wx6w25fwxufnz9l0ptax60sg63rka nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x nostr:npub1zk6u7mxlflguqteghn8q7xtu47hyerruv6379c36l8lxzzr4x90q0gl6ef nostr:npub1q5sah9f3p9kl7uqdeaqskqwmg74ktxx70e0093dzh4lpzcp3t0mqzxky65 nostr:npub1e5tfhk8m65teu25dfx8lcvwn4c8ypqjl72u2sh4rt8zy2kss0j5qct7mh9 nostr:npub1kuy0wwf0tzzqvgfv8zpw0vaupkds3430jhapwrgfjyn7ecnhpe0qj9kdj8 nostr:npub1ug8c5wp6chs4xessrstq3mj0x0agkttey5xwk26632a2gw22de7qkfd9ry nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a nostr:npub1snkezvhn7t9aual3td6p9uqrdu8rta6fvnlynx989lmkw4smjy2qaqv0px nostr:npub18l0pstx8umh6dx3e8vtw7sd3pspe9r0nh94v7ncwkqleljnr5zdq73y8he nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft nostr:npub1wf4pufsucer5va8g9p0rj5dnhvfeh6d8w0g6eayaep5dhps6rsgs43dgh9 nostr:npub1lunaq893u4hmtpvqxpk8hfmtkqmm7ggutdtnc4hyuux2skr4ttcqr827lj nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 nostr:npub1tlv67m7xvlyplzexuynmfpguvyet0sjffce3y8vu0suuyuwgzauqjk7fdm nostr:npub1hlr2lqjyms59nm7l6r5p56ne7nhrjk783t9nyq4k72r6rj36y7es7ysjwf nostr:npub1xdtducdnjerex88gkg2qk2atsdlqsyxqaag4h05jmcpyspqt30wscmntxy nostr:npub1cd0l3s6qgj0s6690rtkys39mgj5upwxpm4856nhmce0pyqu6xj9qh7xlvx nostr:npub1ce7d8cdg8k49dnl3da34mvhah8kevxfsq2vdguq6trngapqfsdzsnv3d7m nostr:npub1ds3hmzemzgp9rsuvyvxqdk0y3uxnq9m903dktjxrvyfwk9w99t4sc2hzcn nostr:npub1z3xsj7reuyjwvvm5g64ft5ju8u0x6jgskdd3u9dswrzxd7yt7dws6f9gxr nostr:npub17v7g49shev2lwp0uwrx5v88ad6hj970zfse74wkes9jguhkx7aqsgjwsvj nostr:npub1qqqqqqyz0la2jjl752yv8h7wgs3v098mh9nztd4nr6gynaef6uqqt0n47m

We built a demo where an AI agent buys an eSIM and pays using Bitcoin. The payment is made from a Euro balance using Lightning. No credit card,—just AI transacting in Bitcoin. Here’s what happens in the demo:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dBTWxZiO4o&lc=UgxRLPA_UULXtzeIqvp4AaABAg
-> The AI picks the best eSIM plan (Rigged for the Demo)
-> It makes a Bitcoin payment over Lightning
-> It uses a Euro balance to send sats
This works using:
-> Lightning for instant and cheap transactions
-> Bringin APIS exposed via MCP Model context protocol
Bitcoin is internet-native money. AI agents will need a way to transact, and Bitcoin is the best fit. But there are scaling issues with Bitcoin and being able to provide secure controlled access.
That's where Lightnign and Nostr Wallet Connect come into the picture. They enable instant, cheap payments with controlled secure access to AI to make payments. Bitcoin adoption is not keeping up with AI development.
Most AI services are still stuck with fiat payment rails—slow, expensive, and restrictive. That’s where on/offramp providers should step in. Like how Bringin is doing.
I also wrote a blog post breaking down how Bitcoin can power AI payments. Check it out here:

Hey nostr:npub1z3xsj7reuyjwvvm5g64ft5ju8u0x6jgskdd3u9dswrzxd7yt7dws6f9gxr or nostr:npub1q62ukawmkf7exk5mjls63d7v6v6sw6cva58v3z4g6w3m7y57ua8sf4p6e6 could you please provide a clear answer to when the bringin cards will be available? The page still says Feb 20. Can I purchase and get a card today or do you have to pay and wait for an indefined time?
Sending out access today. You will get access when you sign up and pay for the cards.
Yes, we promised to give access on the 20th. But we couldn’t keep that up. 🙏
We needed to resolve a few bugs, which took more time than expected.
Yes, we are still resolving some minor issues with debit cards. We will provide access early next week. There is a delay from our end.
The beta user is testing the cards, but some bugs still need to be ironed out. We want to give access to a much more stable version. But if you need early access, that can be provided. No problem.
You can create an account with simply email and password. No KYC required. You will have to do KYV only to enable Euro.
Update is pushed, please update the app to latest and try again.
Let us know if you still face the issue.
Pushing an update today that should fix this. Thanks for reporting 🙏
Please reach out at support channel via in app chat. We will for sure help you with that.
