A little while later, two girls come in. They each order a coffee, pay, and go on their way. Then, three women order seven coffees: three for themselves and four hanging.

My curiosity deepens. What’s with all these “hanging” coffees?

Then, a man in worn clothes, who looks like he’s fallen on hard times, approaches the counter and asks, “Do you have a hanging coffee?”

“Yes, we do, sir,” the barista replies, handing him a hot cup of coffee.

I finally understood. People are paying in advance for coffees that will be served to anyone who can’t afford one.

This heartwarming tradition began in Naples, but it’s now spreading to cities and towns across the world. In some places, it’s not just hanging coffees—you can leave sandwiches or even a full meal for someone in need.

Imagine if we all embraced this simple act of kindness in our own communities. A small gesture like this could make a world of difference to someone’s day, or even their life.

Let’s start bringing this tradition to every city and town. One small act of generosity could ripple out and touch countless lives in ways we can’t even imagine. #Nostr #Bitcoin #coffeechain #kindness 🧡💜

One amazing thing I learned about (out of many) at the ecash conference

A router for sharing internet

Someone from India, living in a place with a lot of internet access problems, built a set-up where people can buy internet without having any internet in the first place. 1 sat per minute

He built a captive portal that you log into and the page says — I take ecash from this one mint, get ecash from there and paste it into this text box — you paste it in, hit enter, and you’re online

You’ve made an offline payment and voila, you're now online

There are many exciting Bitcoin developments happening but it's becoming more clear that ecash is a wholly different, complementary technology that does different things, including many things that Bitcoin can't do no matter how many upgrades it gets

Need to keep learning about ecash

Thanks for sharing

I used to see stories of the likes of SoftBank with these massive VC funds and be impressed by the scale of it

But I now realise it’s just a symptom of the money printer

And really it’s about proximity to the spigot

I noticed recently that each time I go on legacy social media

I get content from men in their late 30s with huge digital audiences

Chatting through a range of interesting subjects

But none of them are married, or have kids
