Bitcoin advocate Checkout my episode with Robin Seyr https://youtu.be/aL31PpdEpXM?si=UaMhfBBrRYhRuEeM

100% agree with nostr:npub1a8jzweysxa9qmtmht874736aalm0lwdsl306nrys9d05ktlrhw3qcr5pj4 at #BitcoinAtlantis

Nostr needs to become more interest based and not just a platform for bitcoiners

Day 2 - view from the Plebs Lounge at #BitcoinAtlantis

Main takeaways from #BitcoinAtlantis Day 1

@andreloja and his team should be very proud on putting on a world class event from scratch

@jackmallers session is a must see to appreciate the technical marvel that is Bitcoin

It's very cool to pay everywhere in Bitcoin

@saylor session gives me hope for the future.

Despite first buying Bitcoin in 2017 and on and off since, the @jameslavish session scared the bejesus out of me and I realised I don't have enough bitcoin. FOMO is high. If you're still on zero, check out the James Lavish session today.

Madeira is a beautiful place (but I knew that already)

All of the sessions are available on YouTube youtube.com/live/SKAHlCpws… currently one big file but I'm sure they will chop it up and put the individual sessions up.

On to Day 2

Really warm in the sun at #bitcoinatlantis. Decamped to the top of the stands. Great view

Loved the nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m analogy during his talk at #bitcoinAtlantis when he compared antibiotics being the solution for toxins in the blood, with #bitcoin being the solution for toxic money, the life blood of society. Powerful stuff.

So impressed with the nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg iOS app.

Just went to the bar in #bitcoinatlantis and was told (for the1st time ever) “we only take Bitcoin”. Not unexpected but still mind blowing.

Used Primal wallet for the first time with an external send. Worked flawlessly. Love the summary sheet as well.

Arrived at #bitcoinatlantis

At the airport at silly o’clock for the first of three flights to nostr:npub1gnkjkhpnqyw5dpjnyaea44e4fd2phyl574k08pe4nycnwqq28vvsew872g in Madeira

Manchester - Heathrow

Heathrow - Madrid

Madrid - Funchal

Thanks for cancelling my direct flight @Ryanair

Anyhow, a trip combining two of my favourite things - #Bitcoin  and Madeira can’t be bad.

I have to say, Primal is a very polished Nostr app. Very nicely done!

Going to give some sats away to relatives. Would be good to point them somewhere to make a novelty purchase of something.

Spent the last day trying to buy the mini dip. As a seasoned bitcoiner I know the score. I’ve navigated this scenario many times.

How a no-coiner is supposed to invest a low 5 figure amount into Bitcoin is fraught with friction and obstacles and most will give up.

After a long and intrusive call with my bank freezing my payment, I finally got them to release the funds.

Then they got frozen on the exchange and I had to go through the whole process of AML rigmarole all over again.

Most people would have given up at the first hurdle.

The Bitcoin ETF will be so much more frictionless for normies.

Experiment. During this bull run, put ÂŁ1000 in BTC in a separate wallet for monthly expenses. Use Bitrefill to pay for as much as possible. Spend and replace
