It's 2am in Tripoli and I can't sleep.

My brain is not resting. I'm thinking about money, about family in Nigeria, about how to sell my iPhone XR without losing my iCloud photos.

So instead of scrolling TikTok, I opened Stacker News.

I'm Nigerian living in Libya. No bank here makes it easy to send small money home. Western Union eats 25% for $20. Lightning did it for almost nothing.

That is why I'm here. I want to learn how to stack properly, how to off-ramp to Naira without getting scammed, and how to use Bitcoin for real life, not just charts.

If you were me, starting from 0 sats in Libya, what would you do first?

What was your first real Bitcoin payment for?
