Eddie created a “Med-O-Mat” - a honey vending machine. Two things about it caught my attention:

1. The goal wasn’t to use lightning, but to find a working offline payment solution. And bitcoin, with the help of LNbits, turned out to be the best approach. 💪
2. He built it in a small village where most residents are of retirement age and generally not interested in bitcoin. But once he helped the first elderly lady set up an LN wallet and sent her first sats, it triggered a chain reaction. She started showing it to others. It seems that age is not a barrier to bitcoin adoption at all.

According to Eddie, locals have even started using these payments in some other businesses. 🔥
