butcher in 🇨🇷 just launched a restaurant. It’s a bitcoiners dream:
- no seed oils (beef tallow)
- no sugar (raw honey)
- grass fed beef
- locally sourced farm to table
All you toxic maxis buying beef with sats in the best market helped make this a reality!

Estela asked us to post this video to say thank you to all ~700 people who donated to help her rebuild her home.
We'll be sure to post progress updates along the way- Estela has a lot of ideas on how to use that money to help her community.
For now, we've got all her sats moved

I’m not generally timid about traveling anywhere, but after 20 years of hearing nothing but bad things about ES, I’ll admit that I was second guessing myself.

If you’re a bitcoiner, you really should visit El Salvador. You can see first hand how bitcoin is helping this country. Of course it’s not the only thing needed to fix the problems here. But, it’s important. Visit ES. It will firm up your conviction.

It’s incredible how quickly Costa Rican’s have dropped the dollar. You used to be able to pay in USD anywhere, anytime in the country. Sometimes even with a discount. Now, most shops balk at the idea. They might still take it but they’ll charge a nice premium and laugh at you.

I had dinner with Estela the other night and at one point she looked at me and said "I think Bitcoin is the best thing that's ever happened in my life".
I told her "me, too". She said "No, I mean, it's the best thing for humanity that I've ever seen".
Based community leader fights fiat establishment, pushes Bitcoin adoption and circular economy among sovereign artisans and farmers of the market her family created.
Her house get burned down by some scumbags.
Bitcoiners show up for her, restoring faith in humanity.

Using
@Strike
to convert USD to CRC is cheaper than traditional banks. Here's an example from today. I needed 50.000 CRC. Strike charged me $97.63 including fees to do this. Banco de Costa Rica charges $98.04. This saved me 0.4%. Pretty neat.

Just some thoughts
- 1000 community banks that serve 5k people is more decentralized than 5 multinational mega banks that serve 5m people.
- nobody is forcing anyone to use the same app. All bitcoin enabled apps work together. We don’t care what wallet you use. In fact the
@primal_app
unpopular question: is it decentralization when everybody uses the same app, lee and his crew hold everybodys bitcoin in custody and if someone wants to end the whole thing, he just has to shut down their server / node or go against the bitcoin jungle crew?

Our Bitcoin meetup in Costa Rica this past weekend was definitely not all white and male. We had plenty of men and women from over a dozen countries attend our community event. Bitcoin is for everyone. Full stop.
Rep. Schakowsky made a comment about the witness panel being all-male, and while it was a half-joke, the message was well received.
Until Bitcoin becomes more diverse, we risk limited network adoption because people don’t see the
#Bitcoin
community as an inclusive space.
