Hey everyone, Last May was such a blast—I organized the @Nostrdam event at Chazzz, a fantastic Antillean restaurant, just one day before co-hosting the @Adopting Bitcoin conference in Arnhem. Those days were full of energy and great memories. Fast forward to now, a year later, and Chazzz is going through a tough time after a recent kitchen fire. Despite this setback, the place is still as vibrant and full of heart. If you can spare a few sats, please consider donating via their @Blink Wallet Lightning address: chazzz@blink.sv to help them rebuild and get back on track. I’ve attached some photos and a news article for more details. Let’s come together and show Chazzz some love during this challenging time!

How I met @Avi Burra in the Bitcoin world is unique to this community. We initially connected online and later met in person at a Bitcoin conference, unaware of each other's identity. After sharing a beer and engaging in a fascinating conversation at BBQ restaurant Braai, where I organized a meetup, we parted ways. It wasn't until a few days later, back home, that I realized we already knew each other from our online contact. I’m thrilled to finally have Avi on the show after two years!
