From sound money to your fridge.
Live the standard with Bringin. ⚡️

“Bitcoin is just a store of value.” No, that’s the wrong way around.
Bitcoin is money. The best medium of exchange we’ve ever created.
Money has one job: help people trade.
Everything else, store of value, unit of account, flows from that.
Plenty of things store value: real estate, land, gold.
Bitcoin stores it better.
But that’s not what makes it money.
What makes it money is saleability, how easily you can trade it.
And Bitcoin wins:
⚡ Saleable across time (fixed 21M)
⚡ Saleable across space (moves globally in seconds)
⚡ Saleable across scale (100M sats per coin)
The only thing missing? Acceptance.
Your landlord wants euros. Most merchants still don’t take Bitcoin.
That gap is real, but it’s closing fast.
We wrote a full article on what Bitcoin actually is,
and how we’re solving the acceptance problem.

Everyone’s building on Bitcoin ⚡️
From builders pushing forward to new apps going live with Nodeless on Spark, here’s everything that happened last month in Feel the Breez.
⚡️ It’s Time to Build
has gone global. From Sofia to Hong Kong, Taipei to Kampala, Lusaka to Mérida, Tokyo to Amsterdam — builders everywhere are getting involved, with the UK, El Salvador, Brazil, and South Korea up next.
🇪🇺 Bringin’ Bitcoin to Europe
nostr:npub1krveufv8unj22udw0tjngv8f0g3zdjdz64kx3dztw9tkl8r66tzq0fd3py is live. Built for Europeans and Lightning powered by the Breez SDK, the app makes it simple to spend, send, and move Bitcoin day to day.
🤖 AI Agents Are Bitcoiners
The new Breez MCP Server lets AI tools plug directly into the Breez SDK. AI agents can now create invoices, send sats, fetch wallet data, and more.
🔥 SatGo Goes Nodeless
SatGo is the first partner live in production using the Spark implementation, showing how fast builders can launch with the Breez SDK.
🌍 Breez Around the World
From LA to Lugano, the Breez team’s been busy. Meetups, panels, and conversations spreading the good word of Bitcoin and Lightning across continents.
'Built for Europeans and Lightning powered by the Breez SDK, the app [Bringin] makes it simple to spend, send, and move Bitcoin day to day.'
We also made it easy to zap sats on Nostr with your Euro balance by enabling nostr:nprofile1qqszm52qe2qdkc4u7dma0klx3532jka2g8geck6fwxncyp90wktq2xspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5pvyu86in our self-custodial LN wallet 🫡
We've been busy building 💪
The latest Nodeless on Spark release is packed with new updates and features:
🔒 Private mode enabled by default
⌚️ Real-time sync across multiple devices & apps
⚡️ Nostr zaps support
💻 C# language bindings
❇️ BTKN token issuance support

At nostr:npub1krveufv8unj22udw0tjngv8f0g3zdjdz64kx3dztw9tkl8r66tzq0fd3py we want to allow everyone to live on Bitcoin, which usually means being able to liquidate BTC instantly to pay where it's not accepted.
But it also means buying BTC instantly without friction when needed!
You can go from your bank to LN in a matter of seconds⚡
Onward! 🟠
nostr:npub1krveufv8unj22udw0tjngv8f0g3zdjdz64kx3dztw9tkl8r66tzq0fd3py Can you tell me when the expansion will begin?
Hey guys! Glad that you guys want us to go global.
But we're currently laser-focused on getting the Eurozone on to a Bitcoin standard.
A trip to Amsterdam fully paid with bitcoin. No euros. Everything went real smooth!
nostr:npub1m7r9aayrqjtt2q0whkyrwlys75s5d828c5uewvqwyfd2kxefkfjqgeny2w and nostr:npub1krveufv8unj22udw0tjngv8f0g3zdjdz64kx3dztw9tkl8r66tzq0fd3py were my partners in this trip! And nostr:npub1qr87vr0y7x4vrhtarvxa8f0k454u2evtetynj9wrkgme62qee3js0wc9xm of course! My personal guide 😁
I gotta say I liked the experience. I’ll for sure reevaluate my day to day in Portugal to consider a more “bitcoined”way of living 💪
Love it! 🧡
Glad that we could contribute towards your transition to a Bitcoin standard. This is what it's all about!
We just hit a milestone of 100 BTC worth of transactions processed! 🎉
We planned on hitting this target at the end of the year, but we crushed it a couple months early.
Best part? 65%+ of transactions were made using Lightning⚡
(Fun fact for Nostr users: Bringin can connect to Nostr using NWC)
Users are spending sats regularly! 🟠
No euros in my bank account.
Just a Lightning wallet on my phone.
Still bought food, at a place that doesn’t accept sats.
The Bitcoin Standard isn’t just a book anymore.
https://blossom.primal.net/b702c631c4d1c04adf179dea4f7f51c88667ea32bccee249491f5dfb478f1b9d.mp4
How living the Standard looks with Bringin in 3 simple steps.
1. Go to the supermarket, pick everything you need.
2. At checkout? Send a Lightning transfer to your Bringin Lightning address.
3. Euros land instantly. Tap your card. Done.
Lightning fast and works everywhere Visa does.
Bonus tip: You can also connect Bringin to your own Lightning node through nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Hub, or link your nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg wallet if you're into Nostr, and convert sats into euros directly from your wallet within Bringin.
This is how you live on Bitcoin in Europe. ⚡️

Helping anyone in the world move value with Lightning ⚡️
We sat down with nostr:npub1z3xsj7reuyjwvvm5g64ft5ju8u0x6jgskdd3u9dswrzxd7yt7dws6f9gxr, Founder & CEO of nostr:npub1krveufv8unj22udw0tjngv8f0g3zdjdz64kx3dztw9tkl8r66tzq0fd3py, to talk about how they’re making Bitcoin usable in everyday life.
Bringin’s goal is simple: help people live on Bitcoin. Buy and sell from any wallet, spend even when a merchant doesn’t accept BTC, and send or receive value anywhere in the world.
Like most products, the idea was born from a problem.
When Prashanth moved from India to Estonia, he was paid in BTC but waited days (sometimes weeks) to access euros while banks made the whole process a nightmare. For Prashanth, holding Bitcoin was easy. Using it? Not so much.
It was from that frustration that the spark for Bringin was born.
They’ve spent the last 18 months focused on building the best experience for users in beta, and have now gone public, helping Bitcoiners across Europe use Bitcoin the way they want to: from paying rent and bills to moving value across borders.
And to deliver the best UX with an effortless developer experience, Bringin went nodeless with the Breez SDK.
The whole integration took just “two to three weeks,” avoiding the headaches of building on Lightning. No node setup, no channel management, no liquidity issues. Just value moving freely from one person to the next, leaving the Bringin team free to focus on building for real-world adoption.
Here’s Prashanth’s story 🎧
The problem was real. The solution had to be simple.
That's why Bringin exists, and why we partnered with
nostr:npub1jugar2agq6369p0l86razavs9shj2p6pscxecevs8j94ap37hkqsjlfc28
to power our self-custodial Lightning wallet.
Thanks for having us on Shoot the Breez. Let's keep building⚡️
We just launched a self-custodial Lightning wallet in the Bringin app, built on the Breez SDK and fully integrated with your IBAN and Visa card.
Here's what it solves:
Most Bitcoiners still juggle multiple apps:
→ Lightning wallet for daily expenses
→ Exchange to off-ramp when euros are needed
→ Bank account to hold euros
That's friction. That's compromise.
What Bringin offers:
✅ Self-custodial Lightning wallet (powered by Breez SDK)
✅ vIBAN for seamless fiat in/out
✅ Visa card to spend anywhere
✅ No off-ramp delays
One app. Your keys. Your euros. Zero compromise.
Bitcoin wasn't built to sit in cold storage. It was built to be used.
We're making that possible in Europe, with self-custody at the core.
Download Bringin. Hold your keys. Spend anywhere.
https://blossom.primal.net/3b19921c8853fac3480b3f41b16728b6702b6686cd527cf6bb96910eaa75cd81.mp4
Europe’s most complete Bitcoin app, is now live on the App Store and Play Store.
⚡️ Self-custodial Lightning wallet
🏦 Personal Euro IBAN account with SEPA
💳 Visa card for everyday use
↔️ Instant BTC <> EUR swaps
Use Bitcoin where it’s accepted. Euros where it’s not. Keep stacking; without giving up your keys.
Built for OG Bitcoiners, freelancers and remote workers across Europe, tired of juggling multiple apps, exchanges, and off-ramps just to live. And even the normies just starting to get it, Bringin is for all of you.
One Bitcoin APP, all you need to live the Standard.
If your euros buy you less every year, why don’t you live on the money that buys you more? https://blossom.primal.net/0fe9588f255eac06ebd691d4ca06685b790d20411a88e4cc194e13b839f4a0db.mp4
🚨 Bringin just got a power-up!
New colors. New vibe. New ENERGY.
Soon, you’ll feel it too: our biggest update is charging ⚡️
https://blossom.primal.net/573edba5a688ab690e8e7394b57c1c6cbfbfaf872d912e8ae68ecbf0b3056a9c.mp4
If Bitcoin is money.
Bringin is how you'll use it to live the standard.
Most Bitcoin tools are built to HODL.
We're building one for living...
Still can’t use your Bitcoin for your morning coffee?
That’s about to change, whether they accept Bitcoin or not. 👀
BITCOIN IS FAILING BECAUSE IT HASN’T SUCCEEDED YET
People on X have probably forgotten that Bitcoin is actual cash, mostly because many of us live in Western countries where currency stability is not that bad.
Once the euro and the dollar start eroding faster, Bitcoin as an Electronic Cash System will come back.
In the meantime, people will adopt BTC as a store of value (SoV) until they realise they are actually saving in the best currency.
If you live on Bitcoin, you become the stronger hands
https://blossom.primal.net/e393ae7817098a3212fe8c60d459e727541b601f596336be5727f4f761706c22.mp4
Bitcoin gets value from 1 thing, and it’s not HODLing.
Because if we only store it forever, it stops being a store of value 📉
Here’s an explanation why spending and selling Bitcoin is the key to make Bitcoin a store of value (SoV) AND a medium of exchange (MoE).
Hodling Bitcoin builds conviction.
It shows you believe in the long-term value of the asset.
But if nobody spends it or sells it, nobody receives it ❌
And if nobody receives it, Bitcoin stops being a store of value.
Circulation, not storage, is what proves Bitcoin works and keeps value.
That’s why we broke down in detail why the “never sell” mantra can hurt both you and Bitcoin’s adoption, and how a simple strategy can fix it.
You can read the full breakdown here: https://bringin.xyz/blog/learn/sell-spend-and-replace-bitcoin/
The strategy is called Spend and Replace 💱
- Spend Bitcoin on something you need.
- Instantly rebuy the same amount with fiat.
You keep your stack, but you also make Bitcoin circulate and help it get stronger 🦾
Every time you sell or spend Bitcoin, you prove its utility.
Every time you replace what you spent, you keep your exposure and increase its demand.
It’s how Bitcoin grows from cold storage 🥶 to real-world adoption 🌍
And with Bringin, you can do it without friction:
- Swap BTC to euros via SEPA.
- Pay with your sats using a virtual debit card.
No custodians. No friction.
Live on Bitcoin without losing your stack.
