Today was, indeed, my first Rodeo.

Some “Bitcoiners” would rather give away free beer than accept sats. You know who you are!

Aurora Borealis over Vancouver. Absolutely spectacular

A coffee shop in downtown Vancouver has started giving 5% off to those paying with Bitcoin. They also sell a Costa Rican roast under the “Noderunners Coffee” brand. FUNK Coffee, Dunsmuir Street

The second brewery in the Vancouver metropolitan area to accept Bitcoin payments, Brave Brewing, hosted a Bitcoin pub quizz tonight

RIP Testnet3, it was fun while it lasted (and it lasted 2.7 million blocks!)

Spending sats after a long day of work. So satisfying. It’s a privilege to live in a circular Bitcoin economy

Vancouver’s Halving Party was amazing, largest ticketed Bitcoin-only event I’ve ever had the chance of attending outside of El Salvador! About 120 people showed, and maybe ~half didn’t have a Lightning wallet when they arrived, so we had to get them set up, sell them their first sats and walk them through their first transaction. Totally worth it, and I believe we significantly grew our circular economy tonight.

Ready for more brrrrrr? Join me for a Cold Plunge on Wednesday, April 24 from 7pm. Only $25 per person and slot (two cycles, 1h). Payable only with sats! Only 20 slots available!

Cold Plunge

I’ve never come across an Octopus this big. Also surprised I got to it before the birds did

Concluded an awesome Plebwalk today with five fellow members of the Vancouver Bitcoin community. We went to seven local merchants, walked almost 5km and ended up at one of Vancouver’s great music bars, with a legendary Honky Tonk vibe that (tonight) beat that of some Nashville places I visited. Not a single fiat transaction was made. Even the band got their tip in sats!

Avoid the shift to daylight savings time by going on a trip at the right time

What does it mean when the smoking sign turns green in an airplane?

There can be no privacy in Bitcoin without significant merchant adoption
