What does it take to live on Bitcoin in Europe today?
What do I do if friends or merchants do not accept my BTC directly?
In this presentation at FREE Madeira meet-up last month, Eivydas discussed the monetary situation in Europe, the role of Bitcoin, and how Europeans can leverage already existing interconnectedness with payment rails, to live on Bitcoin in the world that still operates in fiat.

Bitcoinโs value is like time - both inevitably advance in one direction.
Yet time flows at a relatively steady pace, while Bitcoin is much more fluid.
On days like this, I wish Bitcoin stayed cheaper for longer. Because those of us living on Bitcoin convert our productivity into sats - and today, I earned fewer of them ๐คท.
#selfish #cheaperforlonger
Some argue that Bitcoin is like an IQ test, but itโs much more of an EGO test.
Itโs never too late, anon.
Exit the ponzi. Live on Bitcoin.

Spend your self-custodial BTC in 150M+ shops globally!
Hey #Nostr! Today, we're super excited to bring something UNSEEN to the market: a Bitcoin debit card that links to your LN wallet via Nostr Wallet Connect, and allows you to seamlessly spend Bitcoin anywhere in the world, where BTC is not yet accepted directly.
Here's why our wavecard is the best Bitcoin debit card in Europe:
๐ Open unlimited cards for FREE
๐ต๏ธ Pseudonymous - set any name you want
๐ Holds BTC until the last second
๐ Spend BTC in 150M+ shops globally

๐ [NEW] Auto Topup - connect your self-custodial LN wallet via NWC
How do these auto topups work? ๐ค
NWC manages your BTC between LN wallet and wavecard:
1. Set a minimum balance you want to hold on the card (Spending Power)
2. When balance drops below set threshold -> BTC is pulled automatically from your LN wallet
3. You can continue spending BTC seamlessly without having to login to your LN setup or wavespace!

1) Timechain not blockchain
2) Bitcoin not crypto
3) Saving not investing
This is for everyone who is still on the path of allocating their capital to Bitcoin. With wavespace you can set recurring EUR transfers to your personal wavespace vIBAN in your own name, and automatically swap all incoming EUR to BTC.
Your bank simply sees weekly/monthly interpersonal EUR transfers, whereas in reality you're stacking the hardest money ever, gradually and automatically.

"Thinking about the amount of energy over time, we know that future blocks will carry more energy over time. If the network is valuable today for its immutability, then it will always be more valuable tomorrow if its immutability is unchanged. This is because the immutability of Bitcoin is a compounding property oriented solely around energy over time."

If your freedom depends on bankโs business hours, youโre not free.
Bitcoin puts freedom in your hands - 24/7, borderless, seizure-resistant.
