Lutnick said this money was going to be a straight handout under the last govt. At least now taxpayers get some equity upside instead of just footing the bill.
Bitcoin all time high also means beersies all time low at Andrew Andrew, the Pub on Quay St (Auckland's PubKey). Alongside a great lineup of craft NZ beers on tap, they serve up some seriously good skin-on fries with aioli.

Great episode — Cody and Allen break down how Tether dominates the stablecoin market and why Lightning could make altcoin rails obsolete.

Yep, that's true! But a lot of places still don’t. Does your local pub accept sats? It's awesome to see New Zealand leading the way—traditional venues embracing Bitcoin, with staff fully trained on dedicated point-of-sale terminals. Bolt is a great tool too—you can set per-transaction and daily spend limits when you set it up.
In New Zealand, you can buy beers with Bitcoin by tapping your ring. 🍺⚡ Shoutout Andrew Andrew & nostr:nprofile1qqsvl4sm5ktw0a96p7achvg4cf3h2nsnkxydd9e4gwgsa4e34m7mvwgm9e832 for making it real.
