Let's support Bitcoin merchants! I'd love to hear some of your latest Lightning purchases and interesting products you bought. Feel free to include links to the shops or businesses you bought from.
Who else has a recent purchase they’re excited about? Bonus sats if you found a killer deal! ⚡
If you missed our last thread, here are some of the items stackers recently spent and zap on.
Just Thursday I bought 2 chainsaw replacement chains (I was cutting a lot of firewood lately). Paid to my local general store in sats directly, p2p. I told to the shop guy what to order and they order for me. They are like my personal shopper 😂😂
WTFis this? Darth-lorian? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The right meme is this one, now I can do this with 2 chainsaw 😂😂
an experiment 🤣
hahahaha don't give ideas to Disney ! They already fucked up the whole SW universe
hope they don't see this! have been too instrumental already, manipulating young minds.
You have orange pilled the whole town up there! It does make life easier after the hard work of onboarding merchants is done.
In fact no. Is not necessary to convince the whole village, is enough just the ones that can PROVIDE you the necessary in your life. The rest will come later.
Remember my memes?
Why would I convince them all when most of them are not interested? Fuck'em ! more sats for me!
I was exaggerating!
Anyway, these details do make the difference in the long run.
Yeah, I am kind of happy with the "setup" I have made in my local community: a grocery (general) store that bring me anything I want, a gas station, 2 bars (for my daily beers), the landlord, the fruit/vegetables producer... if there's something they cannot provide, I could just go online and buy with sats whatever I want, but usually I spend quite little, I am not a spender, more like a saver.
Stacking sats = not spending on crap things, only on strictly necessary.
Winning.
Bitrefill, eSim.
(Probably said that already last week??)
Ahah, np! It is good to hear from you! @bitrefill should know you are a loyal customer already! Do they offer some bonus in this case?
I always feel new customers, always get better deals...
with bitrefill I could pay the gas for the car if I am not refilling at my local gas-station (where I pay directly in sats). There's a company that I can refill their "credit-cards" on bitrefill with sats and pay at the station when is needed.
It sounds weird when said from Darth! I'll assume is only your last spare tire...
Are not visa fiat cards. Are gas company cards, like gift cards. I use them few times only because are not in my area.
Yeah, some satsback (like 5% or something). But it's stuck in their platform... Not withdrawable??
so are not real sats then! User retention...
Happy Sunday from over here, just got myself a cup of palm wine 🍷 it taste so delicious
Palm wine! That's new to me, I'd not expect palms to be sugary. it's handmade? with the same process?
Handmade or natural?
I mean, if is handmade should be natural too, no? It's palm wine a common thing over there?
It is, but not as much as it is in Sri Lanka
I've topped up ppq.ai to use cline vscode extension for coding purposes, mullvad VPN to ensure my privacy.
Most of my spending tends to be on SaaS.
Recently, I invested in a one-year subscription to Venice.ai for 0.0018 BTC, further expanding my toolkit.
sounds like you are investing in your own slavery...
Wrong
You see? You don't even realize that by using my meme with another crap GPT you twisted the reality... your brain can't even distinguish how bad the situation is... you are controlled by shitGPT. And this is the communism I described in my old post. People nowadays can't even realize how easy are controlled, because they have the illusion of being them in control. Fuuuck Bezmenov was again right.
There's no real AI, just models trained on datasets. They're tools for humans.
your brainwashing goes way beyond any imagination. Its' too late for you...
Zapped you
That's a great toolkit! I did not know about ppq.ai look's a great tool making different models accessible for sats.
I stopped using venice when they upgrade teh Ui, ot sure why!
So far, I appreciate that Venice.ai integrates a lot of high-caliber open-source models, like LLama 400B, Qwen 72B, and Deepseek R1 671B. I'm particularly excited about the potential addition of LLama 4 Maverick or Scout, given their recent release.
Also, OpenAI has announced plans to open-source their model(gpt-2 maybe??), I hope Veniceai incorporates it into their platform, if it's released, before my one-year subscription concludes.
I bought a green tea yesterday from the bitcoin commons
How was Nashville?
Nashville? I didn't go.
Bitcoin Commons is in Austin - in the same building as Pleb Lab. We're neighbors. They just have the green tea that I like.
Oh, right, that's easier! looking online I thought bitcoinCommons in Austin became BitcoinPark in Nashville. So it's still active there or is another initiative? How is that they sell tea? Local product? Or local bitcoiner up-branding imported tea leaves?
Every day I'm zapping great content on Nostr.
Not on SN? What are the main differences between the SN commuity and your circle in your nostr client?
