We all love Bitcoin and it is the future but to bootstrap the AI <> Nostr flywheel we must put into developers' hands money they're familiar with.

It JUST WORKS at small scale and is extremely sticky! h/t @StarBuilder @bob

Feels like a completely new world opened up to me this weekend. Euro-bitcoin feels different. No nonsense. High character. Diverse and open-minded. Can’t believe I’ve missed out on this for so long. Thank you so much for the opportunity @Anna ⚡️ Max and all the BHB team

Some food for Nostr thoughts. GN nostriches
