I went to a local burrito shop to donate to his pay it forward food wall. He had a high tech looking square terminal.
I asked the owner if he ever thought about accepting Bitcoin for the pay it forward meals.
Then we had a 20 min convo about how he wants to learn more about Bitcoin, he was even aware of nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m leaving Twitter to focus more on Bitcoin.
He said he almost bought at $60k, but he didn't.
He even said it's a shame everyone relates ape jpegs and ftx to Bitcoin, he didn't think the other coins were interesting, Bitcoin seemed like the only one to have a real shot at competing with the banks.
What merchant focused resources can I send this man to help him learn why Bitcoin, and how to easily accept sats for burritos.

The fact that Elon Musk's title is "Technoking" and Jack Dorsey's title is "Block Head", speaks volumes.
One is about ego, and one is not. But more importantly we can see the difference in their actions more than titles from there.
Elon wants to build Twitter or the shitty name "X" into the next WeChat, with himself as the leader. He has literally said this. I used to be able to report bots on Twitter easily for many years, but now I have to show a drivers' ID to report someone that copies my persona even as a 600k following paid blue check, and so I don't bother anymore, and therefore bots proliferate. And if you don't pay for reach, you get devalued. Only in the past few months have I had to show my ID to report my countless bot copiers if I want to report them on Twitter/X. And so their rate of removal has decreased. If my Nym differs a bit from my name, well LET'S FILE SOME TPS REPORTS!!!! (which wasn't previously the case). And so as bots proliferate, and as Musk fails to contain bots as he promised he would and bragged about with memes, he will instead reference his own self-created bot problem as a reason to require even more ID requirements and try to build his US version of the Chinese Communist Party WeChat app. This is exactly what governments do. In my professional opinion, after careful consideration, Elon Musk can ::check notes:: politely go fuck himself, and those who worship him should reconsider what exactly they show blind obedience toward.
Meanwhile, nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m helps improve the Bitcoin network and the Nostr network and has put capital into them in various ways, and Bitcoin and Nostr have no leader. The fact that Bitcoin and Nostr have no leader, is specifically why Jack puts time and capital into them. He funds many different companies, and for bitcoin, Cash App has been among the networks to incorporate Lightning early. Yes, Cash App deals with domestic compliance issues. But they are trying, and they are early. Their network can connect to many others, like an email provider using SMTP to connect to many others. They're open, they're trying. And now they are making Bitkey, which helps with self custody. They're certainly not a directional enemy of freedom in the way that Twitter/X has been.
Companies that incorporate open networks with various levels of compliance trump companies that purposely don't adopt open networks and instead push new ID requirements, in my book.
+10 Jack
-10 Elon

Thank you Satoshi 🙏
On this day in 2008, after several *years* of building the base code of Bitcoin, Satoshi released the Bitcoin Whitepaper to the Cypherpunk mailing list
This became "the Bitcoin way"
Build first, talk about it second 🧡

Look at the first project on the lightning hack day from Bitcoin Indonesia - port much built what you described

Imagine you're paying a friend of yours using is x-pubkey all the time -- then suddenly his key is compromised by a nazi and now you're looking like a nazist yourself.
Does that mean we should have never had the concept of an immutable ledger that should be storing every transaction from everybody forever?
Congratulations on this Dr Calle! Don't stop

One of your greatest posts ever!
May be worth getting a native Spanish speaker to validate the content so you can have confidence in the result .. absolutely fantastic .. although, has the AI got ride of that free-riding albino hamster?
