Surreal experience today in the land of #bitcoin. Came for the surf, but today was able to buy lunch at a local restaurant, they used nostr:nprofile1qqsvn0dkjt80raqrxd470c98n7zrdehmcvj6p5hgw3kyku6zyd8z0fqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dstk9pf8, had to teach em about lightning payments as they provided an on chain address which took 10 minutes to clear. Shortly after I purchased all my groceries for a BBQ, and on my way to the fish market I had the opportunity to treat my daughter to some amusement park rides utilizing the original cryptocurrency. When people say you can’t use it, they are plain WRONG! Extremely liberating experience today, the future is now, and P2P cash needs to be used, not fucking squirreled away as digital gold! image

Oof, on chain for a restaurant...may have made sense at lower price points but when meals only cost 50,000 sats or so they must have been getting eaten alive by fees, not to mention the obnoxiousness of waiting for blocks to be mined. Good on you for setting them straight.
