Blink brought the BTC Map merchant directory inside the wallet this week — on a shared open standard other wallets are adopting too, so finding where to spend Bitcoin no longer means leaving the app.
In Nairobi, one settlement reported 3.78M sats circulating locally across 11 projects. BTCPay shipped a Core Lightning update but kept external access disabled while it recovers. And a reported crackdown in Afghanistan was a reminder that where Bitcoin gets banned, it's often needed most.
