We hosted our second Merchant night in The Bitcoin Basin.

An evening dedicated to the businesses behind our Bitcoin circular economy. And more importantly the people behind those businesses.

If we are to encourage a Peer to Peer society we must connect in person. Hand shakes, eye contacts and hugs.

The Bitcoin Basin is quickly nearing 40 Businesses that accepts Bitcoin as payment. That in itself is an achievement, but for us the energy and smiles in the room were the true evidence that our community is growing and building momentum.

We also launched our community library, to give our local families the gift of learning.

A huge thank you to our sponsors nostr:npub1eltphfvkul6t5ram3wc3tsnrw48p8vvg66tn2su3pmtnrthakcusccmk2v for making community events like this possible!

Thanks to nostr:nprofile1qqsrt52q24ey6hlpe48a6e36vwjgg2qlhu27qj49p5yng76r553wjvcpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5qyv8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnndehhyapwwdhkx6tpdssp92ma for putting on another excellent event yesterday.

My presentation HODL & SPEDN was about the importance of spending your bitcoin within your community.

I use the analogy of planting a seed. When you spend your BTC at a local store you're telling that person that you value them, their time, their craft and their prosperity.

Give them the best money and then replace it using your crappy fiat.

If we want an abundant world for our future then we need to plant to seeds today. It's our job to teach others how to grow their own prosperity, how to protect it and enable them to provide for themselves and their families.

No matter who you are, at some point you were told about. Someone planted a seed within you, whether it was a friend or an author or content creator.

Our future communities depend on the work we start today.

Thanks to everyone for the love and support you have shown to nostr:nprofile1qqswt4cgx3mrv9fykej2q0987kzd2qh4hevd0r2jwpjg9gqcgg4mmngpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgdygatj

Our little town has over 30 merchants and the list of interest grows everyday.

It all starts with a seed.
