Trying to prove a point to a friend: That Bitcoin can literally connect strangers across the world in real life. So here’s the experiment 🌍⚡️ I’m going to buy a soft drink (cost: 50p GBP)… …but I want someone, somewhere on the planet, to pay for it using Bitcoin Lightning. No borders. No banks. No permission. Just pure internet → real world magic. If this works, it’s not about the drink… it’s about proving that money can move at the speed of the internet — between people who’ve never met. Call it: – global teamwork – decentralized generosity – or just a very overcomplicated way to buy a drink 🥤 ⚡️ Make it happen: https://strike.me/sparky051288 #bitcoin #btc #lightning #bitcoinlightning #nostr #zaps #zapme #stackingsats #sats #plebchain #cryptocommunity #crypto #decentralization #freedomtech #globalmoney #peer2peer #p2p #internetculture #experiment #forScience #borderless #openmoney #futureofmoney #digitalcash #whyBitcoin #sendit #vibes #memeeconomy #randomact lnbc8440n1p5aerkmpp55pqak3zjawe6lf5xf6u9mk8srk9lvjgc6ejytjuxam2qwlay27eqsp56yhacgqvsfxhy7nt4l34n62ptqnjvcv7ljc5gm7q9ng93dsa3nzsxqrrssnp4qvyndeaqzman7h898jxm98dzkm0mlrsx36s93smrur7h0azyyuxc5rzjq25carzepgd4vqsyn44jrk85ezrpju92xyrk9apw4cdjh6yrwt5jgqqqqrt49lmtcqqqqqqqqqqq86qq9qrzjqvhwglgx6aqflphky7r46a863uceu0yct6nr6hfxesmkrmt92eqh9apyqr6zgqqqq8hxk2qqae4jsqyugqcqzpudpy2dhkvapqv3exjmntypjhsur9wf5k6etwwssq9qyyssqnshsmcdjatz0yzt9fmwvs57rs32d5ddpetk2x7cch848as9mhusy97mur8mz580leehllrnakg2pxarcqd0u9y8l9aavvn9efp3d3wsq3tcvkv

Conducting a groundbreaking, peer-reviewed study (by me): Will people on the internet send Bitcoin to someone who absolutely does not need it? No sob story. No utility. No roadmap. Just pure, irrational, internet behavior. Consider it: – a tribute to poor financial decisions – performance art – or proof that vibes > logic If it works, we’ve learned nothing. If it doesn’t, we’ve also learned nothing.

@jack mallers It would be a huge improvement if STRIKE allowed users to change the native currency in-app. Right now, sending payments internationally can be unnecessarily confusing—especially when scanning a static QR code (like one printed on a shelf in a store). In those cases, there’s no automatic conversion, so you have to manually enter the amount. For example, as a UK user my default is GBP, but if I’m paying a merchant in El Salvador using USD, I have to work out the correct amount myself before sending. That adds friction and increases the risk of errors. A simple option to switch or automatically match the recipient’s currency would make payments faster, clearer, and far more user-friendly—especially for global, real-world use. Small change, big impact. #Bitcoin #BTC #StrikeApp #LightningNetwork #CryptoPayments #Fintech #BitcoinAdoption #UXDesign #UserExperience #DigitalPayments #GlobalPayments #Crypto #Blockchain #CryptoCommunity #BitcoinCommunity #Payments #Innovation #FintechIdeas #AppImprovement #FeatureRequest #AdoptionMatters #Lightning #OpenFinance #FutureOfMoney

It’s 5:45am in the UK — that quiet, in-between moment where the world’s just starting to wake up… not quite dark, not quite light… just me, my phone, and a slightly surreal moment ☕🌍 I’m on FaceTime with someone in Australia 🇦🇺 They’re fully into their day, I’m barely awake… and somehow, I’ve just bought their coffee. From the other side of the world. Using Bitcoin ⚡ No cash. No card. No borders. Just a call, a QR code, and magic internet money doing its thing. Different time zones, different continents, same coffee moment. The barista must’ve been thinking: “Wait… the person paying isn’t even in this country??” 😂 It’s wild when you think about it — sunrise creeping in here, full daylight over there… and yet the transaction happens instantly like we’re standing next to each other. This is what the future actually looks like. Not flying cars… just borderless, instant, real-world interactions powered by tech that actually works. Somewhere in Australia, someone just got their coffee… Paid for by someone easing into the morning in the UK. Small world. Big vibes. #Bitcoin #BTC #LightningNetwork #Crypto #Nostr #Zaps #DigitalCash #FutureOfMoney #PeerToPeer #GlobalPayments #Decentralized #FreedomTech #CryptoLife #StackSats #Sats #Lightning #OpenMoney #InternetMoney #Cashless #FinTech #Innovation #Tech #FutureIsNow #Borderless #GlobalVillage #Kindness #RandomActsOfKindness #Coffee #CoffeeTime #CoffeeLovers #Australia #UK #AcrossTheWorld #Facetime #MagicInternetMoney #Adoption #UseBitcoin #BitcoinCommunity #CryptoAdoption #PayWithBitcoin #Satoshi #NostrCommunity #Vibes #Storytime #CoolTech #NextGen #FinancialFreedom #DigitalRevolution #EverydayBitcoin #SmallWorld #GoodVibesOnly #EarlyMorning #SunriseVibes #FirstLight

What if every business in the UK accepted Bitcoin Lightning ⚡️ UK businesses pay ~£8–£10 billion per year in card processing fees (Visa, Mastercard, payment providers). That’s money leaving local economies — every single year. Now imagine replacing most of that with Lightning: ⚡ Near-zero fees (often <0.1%) ⚡ Instant settlement ⚡ No chargebacks Even a 50% shift could save: 👉 ~£4–£5 billion annually What could we do with that? 🏥 Fund thousands of nurses or NHS improvements 📚 Invest in schools & digital skills 🏗️ Upgrade infrastructure 💼 Help small businesses survive & grow Instead of enriching intermediaries, that value stays in the real economy. Bitcoin Lightning isn’t just tech… It’s a massive efficiency upgrade for society. So the real question is: 👉 Why are we still paying billions in fees? Would you accept Bitcoin at your business? #Bitcoin #LightningNetwork #BTC #Crypto #CryptoAdoption #Fintech #UK #UKBusiness #Payments #DigitalPayments #OpenFinance #Decentralization #SoundMoney #FreedomMoney #PeerToPeer #P2P #Layer2 #Lightning⚡️ #Money #Economy #SmallBusiness #Entrepreneur #Startup #Innovation #FutureOfMoney #Cashless #FinancialFreedom #Banking #Disruption #Tech #Web3 #Adoption #BuildInPublic #Nos

Been thinking about how Bitcoin could actually help people experiencing homelessness in a practical way. Imagine this: instead of carrying cash, someone has a simple lanyard with a QR code linked to a Bitcoin (Lightning) wallet. Anyone passing by could instantly send sats—no friction, no need for physical money. But the real challenge isn’t receiving funds—it’s using them safely and effectively. That’s where a charity-backed system could make a big difference. A trusted organization could help manage or support access to those funds, making sure they go toward essentials like food, shelter, or long-term support. It also adds a layer of trust for the public, so people feel confident their donations are genuinely helping. On the safety side, not carrying cash could reduce the risk of theft or exploitation, which is a real issue on the streets. It’s not a perfect solution, but it feels like there’s something here worth exploring—combining Bitcoin’s openness with real-world support systems. If this idea resonates or you think it’s worth exploring further, feel free to zap ⚡ always appreciated, never expected.

Hey I’d love to change the currency on the wallet are they any plans for this @paul keating

Details of dates will be available shortly. Watch this space. I have a visual impairment, which is why I’m raising money for Guide Dogs UK.

🧪 Social experiment in progress 🧪 I’m running a small test on human behavior, internet culture, and digital money. The question is simple: Will random people send money to someone they don’t know… just because they can? There is no product. There is no service. There is no reward. This is purely an experiment to observe how people interact when friction is removed and money becomes as easy to send as a message. If you decide to participate, you can send any amount you want (or nothing at all). 👉 strike.me/sparky051288 The results will help answer a few things: • Do people tip strangers? • Does curiosity beat skepticism? • Does digital money change generosity? This is not a fundraiser. This is not a scam. Just a behavioral test powered by the internet. #bitcoin #lightning #strike #nostr #socialexperiment #behavioraleconomics #digitalmoney #internetpsychology #randommoney #peertopeer #fintech #openmoney #decentralized #satstacking #zaps #freedommoney #futureofmoney #curiosity #onlinestudy #microtransactions #humanbehavior #internetculture #moneyexperiment

@jack mallers wouldn’t it be great if you could change your native currency inside the STRIKE app as I’m based in the UK? Mine is pounds it would so much easier if for instance I went to El Salvador and changed it $2 that way I know exactly what I’m spending and I don’t have to put in the actual amount of sats to be accurate. Surely this can be done.
