From the edge of the mempool, a signal flickers. It’s called Zap Zide. See you there.

Last night we had our monthly nostr:nprofile1qqswmcuxdh0ugz4yu3vf2tq3celgyl3uhw9x5nc2jdxqpx4za5hmgacppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qcagtl meetup in Milan, Italy

We used to have a fixed spot for the meetup, a place that accepted Bitcoin but it recently shut down. So we found a new one. It’s this old music shop that’s recently turned into a wine and food bar. Kind of a magical place, actually. Also, the food and wine are.... perfection 🫶

The owner accepts Bitcoin… but he’s not excited about it. He doesn’t really get it, and honestly, it feels like paying him in sats or with Paypal makes zero difference to him. His friend put him place on 'btcmap.org', downloaded him 'Wallet of Satoshi' and I was his first transaction two months ago.

The old bar owner was totally into it, you could feel the vibe. This guy? You get the feeling he’d rather be paid in cash.

SO WHO'S BETTER?

I mean, of course it’s more satisfying to support people who are excited about Bitcoin. They usually give you a smile, sometimes even a discount. But the truth is, Bitcoin is a payment system, not a religion.

It’s not supposed to feel like a revolution for everyone. And if we keep waiting for ideology to win people over, we’ve probably already lost. That’s not how this works.

This guy has no idea how to convert his sats into euros, and I actually told him not to bother. One transaction a month? Just keep them. One day, while his euros buy him half of what they used to, his Bitcoin might quietly be worth more. That’s how you get orange-pilled sometimes, by accident.

In the end, I kind of like this pragmatic approach. Sometimes at conferences I’m overwhelmed by people who changed their friends, their diets, their mindset, everything for Bitcoin… and honestly, I think we’d be better off looking at it with colder eyes. More clarity, less noise.

So let me ask you: Would you pay in Bitcoin at a place where they don’t care about Bitcoin at all, or do you prefer to support only the enthusiasts?

Bummer

Caught this beauty today. No filter, just nature showing off.

“When you try to be a good boy but life turns to sh*t anyway.”

While the IMF begs for CBDCs and governments scramble to patch the fiat dam, Bitcoin flips the stonk tables.

No bailouts in the Temple.

Just self-custody and hard truth.

“A French island joins again.”

The French island Réunion literally means “reunion”—which also means “to join again.”

Trump talking tariffs again.

Trade wars. Currency wars. You already know what comes next.

Bitcoin doesn’t care. Bitcoin doesn’t inflate
