HOT OFF THE PRESSES! New event for Thursday night -- Join us at Circa on Thursday, May 29th at the NEW Bitcoin Bar for a special Vegas Bitcoiners Happy Hour. Circa Resort & Casino is making history again with the launch of CIRCA x BITCOIN — a permanent celebration of Bitcoin culture in downtown Las Vegas. Building on our legacy as the first Las Vegas casinos to accept Bitcoin in 2014, we are expanding our commitment to innovation and financial freedom. Beginning summer 2025, Circa and Golden Gate Hotel & Casino will relaunch bitcoin payment acceptance. Stay tuned for additional bitcoin activations in the months that follow. Through art, technology, and strategic partnerships, Circa is creating a home for the Bitcoin community — and welcoming the world to join. RSVP:

Kristen! If you're reading this, you're about to see why Steak 'N Shake should join us here on Nostr! Nostrafarians, please zap, share, and leave a comment for the Steak 'N Shake Global Brand Development folks. All zaps on this post will be used to purchase shakes at the Fremont Street Steak 'N Shake next Thursday evening during the Bitcoin For Corporations Meetup (RSVP at link below) to not only show the power of Bitcoin, but the compounding effect of Nostr as a protocol, social media network, and circular economy. You'll see how you can use Nostr to build and foster the Steak 'N Shake brand identity, value, and community within the decentralized ecosystem. Like Bitcoiners, Nostr users are extremely generous and fiercely loyal towards those that share interests. Steak 'N Shake is a pioneer in Bitcoin payments so why not follow suit within the decentralized social media space, too? @Derek Ross @miljan @ODELL @HODL @Guy Swann @fiatjaf @jack mallers @BTC Sessions @roya ୨୧ @Ben Justman🍷 @Nunya Bidness @Marty Bent @The Daniel 🖖 @FLASH @Frank Corva @Bitcoin Magazine #asknostr #grownostr #bitcoin #btc #bitcoin2025

Also, if you are in Vegas and was planning on joining us Sunday for the impromptu Steak 'N Shake Meatup, there has been a venue change. We are now meeting at the Cannery at 2121 (Irony?) Craig in North Las Vegas. Ended up meeting the Chief Development Officer for Steak 'N Shake when I was there this afternoon. Only 2 of the 4 locations in Vegas are taking Bitcoin due to Nevada Gaming Commission rules. The two locations that can't are casino-owned and operated and the NGC must approve them taking Bitcoin. She said they will have folks from corporate onsite Sunday as well as have swag. She sounded very excited and they will also have a booth at Bitcoin 2025 and plan to have some other announcements down the road? Maybe we could get a Bitcoin-themed menu item? That'd be cool. RSVP for Steak 'n Shake 'n Sats:

Grabbed lunch at Cannery Casino Steak ‘N Shake and paid in Bitcoin. Used FIAT to BTC send so no taxable event to deal with. Took literally 1 second to confirm via their tablet. I was Patient Numero Uno.

Embarrassing to see how few Bitcoiners stay current in the space. The "why would I spend my Bitcoin?" crew -- you can spend FIAT to BTC via @strike and have been able to for years. Bet these are the same people that routinely say Lightning sucks or doesn't work. image

My node is almost complete. Just waiting for a complete hard drive caddy to come in off eBay. It’s a HP EliteDesk 800 Mini, 32GB RAM, and 4GB SSD. Plan on running @Start9 on it. image

Can anyone recommend a Bitcoin book that doesn’t touch or focus on the typical self sovereignty angle? Almost looking for books written for a privileged, first world audience. #asknostr

Had someone ask me what Nostr was last night at our Bitcoiner Happy Hour after looking at the Nostr stuff on our free swag table. This is someone that is heavily engrained into Bitcoin X. Talkin' hours of daily usage per their own words. Maybe it's time for Bitcoiners to make another recruiting effort on the ole Twatter?
