We’re forced to use currency every day. But money is for eternity.

Most people simply don't wake up wanting Bitcoin. They wake up wanting to: Find work. Sell something. Hire someone. Make money. Solve a problem. The Bitcoin part is almost never their initial motivation. Chama flips the order: Instead, the experience becomes: I need work. ↓ I create a Work Offer in 60 seconds. ↓ My profile is now publicly discoverable on Nostr. ↓ Someone hires me. ↓ They fund escrow. ↓ I finish the work. ↓ I receive sats. ↓ Now I own Bitcoin because I earned it.

How a Chama trade actually finishes: 1. Lock — funds go into escrow the moment both sides commit. Not a promise, not an IOU. 2. Deliver — pay the bill, hand over the goods, do the work — whatever the trade is. 3. Confirm — both sides mark it done in the app. 4. Settle — sats release automatically. If you ever disagree, your community's bonded arbiter steps in and the tie breaks in public, not in your DMs. 5. Rate — leave a rating right in the trade chat. That rating is what lets the next stranger trust you before they've even met you. No customer support ticket. No "please wait 3-5 business days." Just a protocol that already knew what to do. #Bitcoin #Chama #Nostr 🔗 chama.community · APK: zapstore.dev/apps/app.chama.market · Try it now, no download: getchama.app/?sim=1

Cherish life.

Only19 years old winning not one, but 2 World Cups... Yamal is purely amazing. He's a #chamacito in spirit! 🏄‍♂️

Despicable behaviors have been seen from some Argentinian players after the defeat, when they should be like Messi, processing the moment. Can't say this is the first time this happens in this World Cup this year...

Spain is officially the 2026 FIFA World Cup Champions thanks to Ferran! Congratulations on the second star. Messi is mad but he'll get over it, just like France yesterday. Looking forward to 2030...

The game between Spain and Argentina is extremely difficult. I suspect this match may go all the way to the penalty kicks.

“Me enamora, realmente me enamora” 🔥😍

What a meeting!! Pure 🔥, we need more of that. 😌 Today’s session explored why Chama was created and the larger vision behind it: enabling people to trade directly, organize around trusted communities, and maintain control of their money without depending on a centralized intermediary. We explained how Chama’s technical foundations work together: - #Lightning enables fast Bitcoin payments and settlement. - @Fedimint provides private, community-based #ecash infrastructure. - On-chain #Bitcoin bonds give arbiters real economic accountability and strengthen trust within each community. A substantial live demonstration showed how Chama’s peer-to-peer exchange works and how it can benefit people at four connected levels: 1. The world — a vision for open, borderless peer-to-peer commerce. 2. Countries — local markets using the currencies and payment methods people already understand. 3. Communities — trusted groups with their own participants and bonded arbiters. 4. Individuals — people trading, earning, settling payments, and controlling their own funds. The demonstration highlighted the power of Chama’s peer-to-peer exchange and showed how its broader vision translates into a practical experience for individual users. We also teased new features currently in development and confirmed that more community learning calls will be held in the future.

Let's value life. Life, as in the simple fact that we can breathe air.

Bitcoin is Freedom Go Up technology. ⛓️‍💥

GM 👋 🏄‍♂️

The same people/companies who charge kyc cheap pricing on sats, are buying nokyc sats for themselves. I wonder why.

If you've ever watched an exchange freeze your withdrawals, a bank hold your own paycheck hostage, or a "friend" take your money and disappear — you already know what trust is supposed to feel like, because you know exactly what it feels like when it's gone. Chama doesn't ask you to trust a company. There isn't one holding your funds — your sats exist only for the length of a trade, split three ways between you, the person you're trading with, and a community member who's posted a real Bitcoin bond to vouch for the outcome. Nobody can vanish with it. Nobody can freeze it. The system is built so no single person ever has to be the one you just have to hope is honest. That's not a tagline. That's the architecture. Some of us needed money to be trustworthy again before we could trust anything else. This is what we built instead of waiting for someone else to fix it. #Bitcoin #Chama #SelfCustody #Nostr
