 Why can’t I zap my peeps today?  Roya, Sergio, The NosHole…I know for sure they have their li... 
 I just zapped you ⚡️ 
 Just made the FIRST EVER #bitcoin  transaction at this great bakery in Madeira 🇵🇹 ⚡️

📍 A Confeitaria [nos.barreiros] https://video.nostr.build/957d50d4aadb421c87d4878a7ad4271e5332a6d89e21b393b098bcc30287fe33.mp4  
 YESSS 🔥 
 🙌🧡 
 I used Blink and they used Swiss Bitcoin Pay. 
 🧡 
 Someone on Twitter said they look like ents and I had to Google it 😅🙈 

I have watched LOTR though! And I 100% agree 
 True!! 
 Fanal! It’s a little over an hour drive from the city. 
 It’s an incredible place! 
 If there’s one thing I know for sure is that #bitcoin is never going to zero. 
 Beautiful from every angle 😍 
 Two double espressos paid for in #bitcoin 🤌 

So happy to be in Madeira 🧡 https://image.nostr.build/d9ac851382703bfe4ce11d115fca649bc0eb12e355b78c4169e5b5f8c063e04a.jpg  
 It is! It’s called Maia coffee and they’re great! They open again on Monday AND they’re gonna be selling their coffee during the conference! 
 7.5k 
 ☕️🧡 
 It’s the only way 
 Thank you for your support! 🥹 I hope you enjoy your swag! 

Also, don’t give up. Try to orange pill some business around the city! 
 Hitting 10k daily steps is a piece of cake in Europe. 
 😂😂 fair. That was the old me when I lived here. 
 Best way to explore a new city! Everything is walking distance in European cities, which I’ve come to appreciate over time. 
 SEVEN FUCKING YEARS I WAS LOCKED IN THE US ! UNBELIEVABLE! NOW I CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT OF 🌎 AND... 
 7 years?? Wow. Enjoy your new trips!! 

As someone who’s been a victim of it, I hate the US immigration system 🙃 
 I have the same exact picture. Such an incredible view 😍 

Can’t wait to be back there in a couple of days!! 🙌 
 My man had a conversation with his barber here in Portugal about #Bitcoin…only for the guy to show him his World Coin stack 🥲 
 It was painful to hear 😖 
 Unfortunately, yes! 😬 
 I know! Never thought I’d meet a worldcoiner in the wild 😅 
 Their loss, our gains 🤷‍♀️ Told him to be careful and go bitcoin only instead 
 Same 😭 
 I get it but it costs them their identity :/ 
 Same! I didn’t get it at first lol 
 Literally 
 nostr:npub1lr2zzf989mvf393y0tv39ara6a4vddkd6y87z784up9vl6ks6j3qtudl6a how did it go wrt getting y... 
 Same, good question lol 
 Checking in on #nostr now that Twitter is wild and a bit overwhelming. 

How’s everyone doing? Hope you all started your year right! 💜 
 Great to hear! Keep it up 😄 
 lol he always disappoints me when he talks about Bitcoin 
 GM and PV 🤙 
 First time experiencing a caffeine-induced panic attack and I hated every minute of it 🥲 

How can something so delicious do you dirty like that sometimes? 
 LOL true

I usually only drink 2 coffees a day or 1 coffee and one green tea. I went a little overboard this time 😅 
 Four. 

I usually drink 2 a day (or 1 coffee and 1 tea), but the added stress definitely didn’t help. 
 Lesson learned! Stick to my 2 a day or less and manage my stress levels better! 😅 
 I do drink mates but only when my Argentinian family is around 😅 not often enough! 
 LOL true true 
 Hope you all enjoyed a Merry Christmas, nostriches! 💜🎄⚡️ 

I only asked Santa for more sats and I got them, so it was a successful day for me 😊 
 I'm on the hunt for community clobber... any recommendations for nostr or opsec aware bitcoin t-s... 
 Just seeing this. 

Thanks for sharing @node and thanks for the support @chiefmonkey 💜💜 
 I wish I had the time or the mountains nearby to do it 😅 
 Very sweet of you to say! 💜 I hope you’ve been enjoying your weekend! 
 Feeling the sudden urge to go camping in the mountains and hide out for a few days with no phone, no laptop, and a couple of books. 
 I wish I had the time or the mountains nearby to do it 😅 
 Can't. Duty calls! 
 If only! 
 😂 thanks but I'm not going 
 Haha unfortunately I can't go right now, so I'm here daydreaming about it 🥲 
 What a beauty 😋 
 One of the annoying parts of being congested is not being able to breathe well through your nose and having to turn into a mouthbreather at night. 
 Thanks Piriya! I’m very much the kind that goes the natural route instead of using meds, but I agree that one should always prioritize sleep. I’m feeling better but I’ll keep in mind those tips!

I just got back from my long trip so maybe it’s my body finally reacting to all that change 😅 
 Beautiful shots 🤌 
 #asknostr Are there Argentinian nostriches out there who can offer their inside perspective? 
 Milei is all for the free market and against legal tender laws, so don’t expect Bitcoin as legal tender. But he wants to take down the central bank and cut down public spending. 

It’s gonna be a huge challenge, especially since half the country is still very supportive of the welfare state, but at least he got elected so… 🤞 one step at a time! 
 I see a lot of people talking about Argentina's elections and I legit know nothing about them or ... 
 I usually never care about elections but Argentinians just elected the first ever anarcho capitalist president in the world so I’m feeling finally hopefully for my country 🥲 
 Far right libertarian 😂 I’m surprised they left out “extremist” 
 Argentina just elected the first anarcho capitalist president in history.

Finally feeling some hope for my country 🇦🇷🧡 
 Major win for Argentinians! 🙌 
 Half Argentinian half Italian 😄 
 So true. Great words! 🙌💜 
 I grew up on tons of milk, meat, empanadas, and candy lol 

To think that I was vegetarian for 5 years a while ago 😂 
 Milei is not for legal tender laws. He supports the free market and freedom of currency. But either way, I hope he follows Bukele’s steps in bringing positive change for the country! 
 Milei may actually win it 
 I freaking hope so 
 Coming down with a cold, resting on the couch while sipping on some lemon and honey tea, and watching some old Antonopulous videos to keep me distracted from the congestion headache. 

So far so good 🤒 
 Thanks Zach 🤙🫂 
 Thank youuu! 
Worked half the day and now I’m resting 😌 I’m sure I’ll beat this thing in no time 💪
