Pretty cool seeing Lightning and Spark payments alongside each other at DCTRL’s Bepsi machine. So far, Lightning is the superior UX, as payments are faster. But what’s the technical reason for this?
Much of what’s being released in Bitcoin right now boils down to “plausible self-sovereignty as a service.”
Magical fall

Afternoon walk to the market, buying fish and meat. What a life
Bitrefill is now marking some gift cards up by 7% and more. They are hiding this fee in the exchange rate. It only applies to some cards, but all payment methods, so do watch out!
Nationstates are stacking Bitcoin, treasury companies are trending, fund mangers break records with ETF listings, the dollar is melting, nobody is buying treasuries, stocks are booming and the world is heading into a devastating recession.
Every night I sleep sound knowing that absolutely none of this can affect the Bitcoin price.
Do the ends justify the memes?
Posting from #NostrHackday Berlin because I can.

This post was made from a Tollgate Wi-Fi hotspot, paid with ecash from the Coinos mint. The cypherpunk future is now.
In 1948/49 the Soviet Union blockaded West Berlin, demanding the withdrawal of the newly introduced Deutsche Mark. For over a year the city had to be supplied with energy and food with only planes like this, called “Rosinenbomber” or “Candy Bombers.” Good money is worth fighting for.
This incredible display board was originally built for Vienna airport and decommissioned ten years ago. Its new host, pub Friedel Richter in Berlin, also runs their own Lightning node and processes payments using LNbits. Also, they serve excellent food.
There's a new guide in the house! Run nutshell, your own ecash mint! Cheers @calle!
Also, huge thanks to Eric Chennels for adding convenient copy buttons to the guides!

Exactly 200 years ago today the first public railway line opened in Shildon, Durham County. The station is still in use today! Locomotion No. 1, the engine pulling the train, was built by George and Robert Stephenson and is preserved at the Darlington Railway Centre. It cost £550.
Tnere’s something heart warming about hearing 20,000 Germans singing “Bella Napoli!”
Getting me to my destination today involved two subway lines, one flight, two buses and two high-speed trains to all connect reliably. And I only arrived two minutes past the expected arrival time. What a miracle!
Lisbon’s trams, old and new. I went to seven Bitcoin merchants around town, and four of them even accepted it as payment!
