Thanks for the clarification, @BlokchainB inB. When it comes to opportunities, we try to make the most of all available resources and those that don't will see us as nothing more than bots.
This is most likely a reference to Karla, the barista at Point Break Café in El Zonte, El Salvador, during the early days of Bitcoin Beach.
In September 2021, Alex Gladstein shared his experience using Bitcoin and Lightning in El Zonte. After paying for his coffee, he tipped Karla 25,000 sats (around $10) directly to her Bitcoin wallet.
He then shared her Lightning tipping link, allowing people worldwide to support her directly.
The response was remarkable: Karla received over 80,000 sats initially, and eventually more than 300,000 sats from people in over 20 countries.
Alex's video of the Lightning payment went viral, reaching over 650,000 views.
This became a beautiful example of Bitcoin's real-world impact: a local worker receiving direct, borderless tips from a global community, without traditional financial intermediaries.
It also became part of the wider story of Bitcoin Beach, which helped put El Zonte on the map ahead of El Salvador adopting Bitcoin as legal tender on September 7, 2021.
