Pro #Bitcoin activism hits Chew Magna in Somerset. Gradually then… a little less gradually. 😉 image

I’m on a trip round Sicily and used @BTC Map to find the only bar in Syracusa that takes #Bitcoin. It’s run by @katika21 and her husband. After buying a beer, much excited chat and trying to Orange pill two Danes in the queue, I decided I should make a video of me buying an arancino. It’s certainly not as slick as @Joe Nakamoto would produce but you get the idea.

One for folk in Bristol, UK. On Fridays and Saturdays, Jonny, a street poet sits outside Arnolfini. Ask him to write something - anything - and he will tear your heart apart. And the drab reality is that he will do it for #Bitcoin over lightning. Seek him out. It is worth it for so many reasons.

A #Bitcoin thought… Small very local, yet internationally recognised, circular economies such as Bitcoin Beach will increase their Bitcoin holdings as tourists visit bringing in their Bitcoin. Wouldn’t this be the same as money printing and therefore result in inflation?

#Bitcoin is not defined by the code. It is defined by the rules the code enforces.

I bought a coffee at a wagon today and asked “Can I pay with my Bitcoin?”. She explained it would be too complicated for her - then proceeded to enter the items into an iPad, added up the prices, enter the amount into a card machine and negotiate the card transaction. Bitcoin is not hard. Educating people is.

#Bitcoin doesn’t have inflation. - or - The halvening cuts #Bitcoin inflation in half.
