Ask and ye shall receive! On Friday, I noticed an amazing Nostr billboard in Amsterdam put up by  nostr:npub1qe3e5wrvnsgpggtkytxteaqfprz0rgxr8c3l34kk3a9t7e2l3acslezefe & based upon ideas from  nostr:npub1spralxq6jlw5rdy0249vqr5sh43rfrlx2wzv3rhjjqedw559w9psrs8s72.  I asked if anyone was doing something similar for Brazil, a country where awareness might really move the needle at this particular moment  in time (h/t  nostr:npub18pl6x2qe3en6gqx27qy50ny3urqkd5jdw8vtfdu2dsl0j8l56pvqpahesh for the mind seed).  By Saturday,  nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 had launched a project and worked out the logistics with  nostr:npub13u20998frqs538lqf4kvhfrq9t69mk9e3aczfxc9pljze290yr4q86gkaz. As of 30 mins ago, we crossed the finish line thanks to a generous contribution from  nostr:npub1ug8c5wp6chs4xessrstq3mj0x0agkttey5xwk26632a2gw22de7qkfd9ry.

This is a BFD and shows the power of open networks for communication, value, and payments working symbiotically together. We literally willed an idea into existence in ~ 3 days (and I'm guessing we'll need a few more to get the art/message settled and board up).

Social media was powerful in the past, but ultimately very limited. It's one thing to rally and organize the troops. It's something else entirely to transmute that potential energy into kinetic energy via the coalescence of "real world" value. The digital world is now reshaping the physical and this is just the beginning. 

Nostr, Bitcoin, and the Lightning Network together are much more powerful than anyone  yet realizes 𓅦₿⚡️
