So how are all the proud American #bitcoin maxis? Celebrating the inauguration of the first ‘bitcoin’ president? About to rug pull his own people with $TRUMP 🤦🏼‍♂️ And I’m sure this is just the beginning…

@Andrew Barnwright mate what is the pub key for the main @Blink Wallet node? Since there're a lot of merchants here in The Netherlands that switched to Blink ⚡

What an absolutely phenomenal edition of #Bitcoin Amsterdam this was! Huge thanks to @Bitcoin Magazine for giving us the incredible opportunity to create all the content. And of course, a massive shoutout to all the amazing people who took the time to chat with us ⚡️. We smashed our own records with 9 interviews recorded over the two action-packed conference days! ( @Knut Svanholm ∞/21M @Tomek ⚡ K and Khushboo today!) The energy was electric, the discussions were insightful, and the community spirit was truly inspiring. From groundbreaking announcements to deep-dives into the future of Bitcoin, we captured some unforgettable moments. We can’t wait to share all the incredible stories and insights with you all. Here’s to pushing the boundaries even further next time! 🚀

The second day of the conference started with @Bart Mol's presentation. This is one you must see! Bart discussed the potential risks of lulling Bitcoin to sleep, using the now-extinct Dodo as an example. Definitely worth watching again.

What a first conference day, we had such a blast! Recorded a record 7 podcast episodes 🤯. Thanks for the great talks @npub1qg8j...24kw , @Jesse de Wit, @npub1c4m3...5akf , @MouxDesign , @The Flirting With Bitcoin Podcast and Hannah⚡️🙏🏻 And of course @Ramon and @Edward Hollander for pulling this off together.

Is it possible to get my @Alby wallet connected to the Primal iOS app? Cc @Kwinten

Having a blast at @Adopting Bitcoin Arnhem , been living on a #bitcoin  standard since I arrived here. And finally had the chance to meet Hermann from @BitcoinEkasi and @El Flaco from @Blink Wallet in person 😎👌🏼

I was stuck in the #Bitcoin  lightning network and had a hard time to find the enthusiasm I had when I interacted with it for the first time in 2020. But the past couple of days I’m testing @strike in Europe and that brought me back to where my lightning journey started 🧵👇🏼1/4

So I’ve sent @npub1yyt2...vz67 €5,- using the ‘Send cash globally’ service in @strike 3,5 hours ago and it’s still pending in his mobile account. That’s not what we’ve hoped for 😇@jack mallers Shouldn’t this be instant?
