What bitcoin app do you recommend to your friends?
After checking more than 20 alternatives, I decided to build my own version - designed with each user’s independence in mind.
Give it a try and help me make it even better. 🚀

Embrace the competitors…
"AI has driven the cost of idea generation to zero" okay fair, but what about idea quality?
Delivery is still demanding…

At the last bitcoin meetup, I was intrigued by a 60-year-old bitcoiner who wasn’t interested in any lofty ideas about how bitcoin will improve the world. He simply has bad experiences with the state. Many years ago, he didn’t pay a property tax. It was a relatively small amount. However, over the years, they calculated very high interest on it. Eventually, he wasn’t able to pay it at all. Gradually, debt collectors stripped him of all his official assets.
He renounced his citizenship - I’m not sure how he manages it, but he says he only has a passport and a driver’s license. He has to renew the driver’s license every five years, and for that purpose he temporarily arranges citizenship again. I might be using some terms incorrectly. In any case, this person lives in the Czech Republic but doesn’t have any bank account, so he pays for everything he can with bitcoin. 🔥
For that reason, he also dreams of better ways to acquire bitcoin around the world. Like peer-to-peer exchanges even in smaller amounts (for security reasons), based just on location, or cooperating with pensioners who have bank accounts, so they can buy bitcoin for him on exchanges and he gives them cash with an extra fee.
And btw his mother is over 80 and collects sats through silly online clicking games. Seems like that the age is not a blocker for using bitcoin at all.

Is there some issue with https://testnut.cashu.space?
It feels weird to see one week old version of an application 😀

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. 🔥
