 I don't have an international card so I bought Principles of economics via LN Sats!  Effortless. 
Getting Lyn's book next.  
 Right!? It was effortless for sure. No need for creating an account and putting in all your personal info. Being able to explain to people that this is only possible because we are exchanging a bearer asset at the speed of light is a incredible lesson in my opinion. 
 I'm in a 3rd world country. Before this I could NEVER buy anything internationally. No KYC, no phone number. Got my book on my Proton mail.   People will recognize it only when they use it. Basically sending a gold coin over the internet, this is a revolution!! 
 
 Hey Pattern get those zaps set up so I can send you some freedom money!  
 I added a LN address now. Does it work?  
 Working now 👍 
 Thank you for the Sats kind sir. 
I'm truly mind blown strangers can just send money here without any permissions/restrictions/3rd parties. This is what early users of the internet must have felt like!! 🤯 
 Was about to zap… Y u no lightning ? 
 I just added a LN network - can you tell me if it works?  
 Still can't. https://image.nostr.build/d8b1bf3d1cc749b05d1c3593b611f15ec8ec147be8c5f16de2628034443eddcf.jpg 
 I changed my wallet. Can you try now? 
Sorry to bother you lol.  
 Wait - I got freedom money from a total stranger, halfway across the world with no intermediary & THERE'S NOBODY WHO CAN STOP THIS.
GOOSEBUMPS 🤯🤯 https://image.nostr.build/129b47a6245e60c501e68a9acfa50a938d43166a45114b453946104999f80b4b.jpg 
 It really do be like dat 
 You would need a wallet with a lightning address like wallet of Satoshi. The lightning address looks like an email address.  
 Done. Can you check if it works now?
