Today was my first day in Madeira 🏝. We went to 3 cafes and I used my Cashu wallet for lightning payments at each one. Never touched a credit card, cash, or fiat of any kind. This is magical 🪄

Pretty jealous, NGL. Stick some Find Me on Nostr tags around the place.


Beautiful view and even better story
🥲🥹


Yep everyone I know loves it!


I have so much fomo


Have you booked your flights?


Naaa not until the week before I fly


Wow that’s leaving it late 😂


Top spot, can’t wait to visit.

Would that be eNuts, by any chance?


Sweet Merenda is a good little breakfast place if you're in the mood for some omelette/pancake magic 🪄


Can you buy a house there with Bitcoin


Ah, Madeira is my homeland!
Enjoy the view, the weather and the food! Ask for a "prego especial in "bolo do caco"(special traditional bread from madeira). Try also the "tomato soup", "Espetada", Tuna steak with milho frito (fried corn)....and "Carne de vinha d'alhos". Oh, and "queijadas" and "bolo de mel" ( this 2 last are sweets)😋😋😋😋


I'm curious to hear how spread out is the adoption amongst the general commerce there. But 3 separate cafe places for rather small town, that's already pushing way above the most.

What did you have, how much was it and how did it compare to the price a year ago.


Please share the items you bought, their prices and please inquire to the owner how much these cost a year ago.


more of this

I'm so happy to see you in paradise :)


Visiting or did you move there?


it was probably funchal and it's not a small town, i dunno what the proportion of population based around there but whole island is about 300k and i'd guess funchal's probably got 100k, and then another 100k spread out from east to west on the southern coast, and the other 100k scattered in the small towns around the coast and through the mountains


Good to know, Madeira is on my list to visit 😊. Love nature and heard it is beautiful there and to see that paying with Bitcoin there is good makes me wanna go even more.


Price is down in sats, even with digital nomad inflation.


that's stranger in a strange land inflation

this land has high transport costs, high property prices and low food prices


Is this projected to continue; can the owner justify investments into his business knowing they will earn less and less return going forward.


good to know. will load up my lightning wallet


Looks beautify.  They are living in the future here.


now that's beautiful... well both the picture and using lightning. i can't wait to see what you build. see you in 2 months!

Still trying to understand this angle (for years). Not being snarky? Why magical?

In the US, it would be a bunch of taxable events without enough reporting to not make it a total nightmare come tax time.

What am I missing?


What you're missing is that it's not like this in many/most? places outside the US.


Can I ask which Cashu wallet are you using?

You mean like https://wallet.cashu.me ? Or another one 😅?


The Jeep tours are worth it. We went through ViaTour. Enjoy your time.


eNuts is the one I've been testing https://www.enuts.cash/


I get that and agree. Totally more valuable as a payment mechanism in developing countries over developed. I do talk about that a number of times here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/navigating-bitcoins-noise/id1583424361

Easy to exist on BTC only?
