Get ready for a day of talks, collaboration, and community at Nostrdam. We’ll kick off the afternoon with engaging discussions, a hackathon on the terrace, and wrap-up with live music in the evening. It’s a relaxed event focused on decentralization, tech and Nostr.

4/4 The thing that stoot out to me the most was that we both didn’t noticed the lightning network was used, it was all under the hood. A lot of the guests we had on the show at Connect The World say that bitcoin succeeds when people don’t know they’re using #bitcoin  anymore. Here it is!

2/4 Not because of the app itself, which is great by the way, simple, no distractions, lightning native but also the possibility to get your #bitcoin  onchain. It was because of me sending €5,- to Ghana 🇬🇭 in a split second using only a phone number. https://video.nostr.build/2754696e2e365f9370aeacae075b6a05af480e7724d39e3a1164b9ac6cc6d73a.mp4

I was stuck in the #Bitcoin  lightning network and had a hard time to find the enthusiasm I had when I interacted with it for the first time in 2020. But the past couple of days I’m testing nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 in Europe and that brought me back to where my lightning journey started

🧵👇🏼1/4

Turns out that it was an issue at the Bitnob side, it’s now received at a very fair exchange rate @Strike (€5,- to $5.25). You guys rock ⚡️
