Walking around Uvita, Costa Rica and perusing the Bitcoin Marketplace at the Bitcoin Freedom Festival, buying goods with #bitcoin over the Lightning network from sats that reside on my node back home in the USA just feels magical.

Partaking in a circular bitcoin economy is fairly unique and many will struggle to understand it without being on Nostr and experiencing all of the action first hand. I'm able to help #grownostr and community build and receive Zaps for my content and efforts here on Nostr thanks to all of you. Now, I'm using those value for value acquired sats to buy food, drinks, clothing, and other goods from local vendors down here at @Bitcoin Jungle in Costa Rica. Again, this all feels magical and exciting.

Seeing Lightning just work and putting bitcoin into the hands of local merchants just feels incredible. Thank you all for the Zaps. They're being put to good use. 🥹
