I received an order for an ALEX plush from Agile Energy X, so I'll be starting production next week! Today, I did some preparation work, including embroidering the face and wings 🧵 image

Today I worked on my website and made an Orange Pill pencil case. Compared to my other cases, this one requires a lot more sewing, but I like the rounded shape that gives it a handmade feel💊 image
During a presentation at the FREE Energy Summit, I was surprised to see Mr. Tateiwa from Agile Energy X introducing the ALEX plush I made! 🐲 I’m very happy that ALEX was brought all the way to Portugal, far from Japan 😊 image
Today, I made a Genesis Block pouch while also working on improving my handmade goods website. My website had been quite cluttered before, but I think I’ve managed to make it much cleaner over the past few days 💻 image
Local Satoshi plush 🎭 I’ve now made 10 different designs! I’ll continue collaborating with shops, communities, and events around the world to show that Bitcoin knows no borders. Bitcoin knows no borders 🌎 image
Today, I worked on adding payment functionality to my website, but unfortunately it seems too difficult for me. I can’t afford more paid services, and I also want to avoid KYC... In the end, I decided to continue with my current method of communicating directly through messages. Although Bitcoin is money anyone can use, creating an e-commerce site that accepts Bitcoin still doesn’t feel easy for everyone right now. I once paid for a VPS and built one myself, but since the site got zero purchases, I stopped fairly quickly. Hmm… maybe, in a way, directly communicating with people who want to buy something, sending a Lightning invoice, and completing the purchase that way might actually feel more P2P. That’s what I was thinking about today. I also feel like I want to use the Plebeian Market again, but at the same time I want to have my own website, so I’m a bit torn about it.
Today I made Tonpeiyaki. Tonpeiyaki is a Japanese dish made by stir-frying cabbage and pork, topped with a thin omelet, and eaten with sauce and mayonnaise. Compared to okonomiyaki, it has fewer carbs since it doesn’t use flour 🍳 image
Today I made a marinated fish rice bowl. I really like sushi, but eating sushi at restaurants is very expensive, so when I want sushi, I make a marinated rice bowl at home instead 🐟🍚 image
I made the 100th Satoshi plush! I started making them last September, and 96 of them are already displayed at overseas shops accepting Bitcoin, traveling overseas, or have already found new owners. I’ll keep making Satoshis to show that Bitcoin knows no borders 🎭🧵 image
Today, I made pizza toast for lunch for Bitcoin Pizza Day! 🍕 #bitcoinpizzaday In Japan, there are cafés and restaurants where you can find pizza toast topped with ingredients like green peppers and onions. It made me a bit curious whether pizza toast is also eaten in other countries around the world 🍕
