2026-03-11 20:07:47 UTC

Infrastructure choices matter.
Recent headlines have sparked renewed conversation about the relationship between emerging AI platforms and government or defense institutions.
Whether someone sees those partnerships as necessary, concerning, or somewhere in between, one thing is becoming clear:
Users care deeply about where their tools and infrastructure sit within the broader ecosystem.
Over the past week, we’ve seen:
• A sharp increase in uninstall activity for one major AI platform
• A surge in downloads for competing alternatives
• New features are being released to help users migrate between platforms
When technology becomes foundational, trust becomes part of the product.
We’ve seen similar patterns in other digital networks before.
When users feel uncomfortable with a platform's direction, they don’t just complain; they migrate.
And builders respond by creating alternatives.
In the #Bitcoin and #fintech world, this dynamic has been playing out for years.
The future of digital infrastructure will likely be shaped by systems that emphasize:
• Transparency
• Optionality
• User sovereignty
At @nprofile…9t09, we spend our time building infrastructure that gives fintech platforms more flexibility in how value moves across networks.
Not every shift in tech is about features.
Sometimes it’s about values and architecture.
Curious how others see this moment in tech.
Are we entering a new phase where trust in infrastructure becomes the deciding factor for adoption?

Paralelní Polis in Prague has closed permanently after 12 years.
Bitcoin Coffee in the original circular economy — before most of us even knew what that meant.
They proved it was possible.
RIP to the OG. The #BitcoinCommerce torch keeps moving.

2026-03-06 20:02:56 UTC

Traditional financial systems are deeply entangled with geopolitics.
#Bitcoin introduced something different:
a neutral monetary network.
No central authority.
No forced participation; just open infrastructure.
That’s the future we’re building tools for at

2026-03-05 15:44:55 UTC

Bitcoin’s growth isn’t just a market story; it’s a builder story.
For the past decade, #Bitcoin has dramatically outpaced traditional stores of value. But the more interesting shift isn’t price, it’s infrastructure.
Every major network goes through the same phases:
1️⃣ Liquidity improves
2️⃣ Infrastructure matures
3️⃣ Utility expands
We’re now deep in phase two.
Across the ecosystem, teams are building the financial rails that digital value networks will run on, including payment infrastructure, settlement layers, checkout systems, and developer tools.
This is where the real compounding happens.
At @nprofile…9t09 , we focus on building pieces of that infrastructure, helping fintech platforms integrate Bitcoin-enabled payments and modern checkout experiences into their products.
The next wave of adoption won’t just come from users.
It will come from builders.
Curious how other builders see it:
Are we still early in the infrastructure phase, or is the next wave of Bitcoin utility already starting?

Huge AI funding shows where the future is heading.
But as commerce scales, payment rails matter just as much.
More businesses are exploring #Bitcoin + Lightning integrations through Velas to reduce fees, avoid chargebacks, and accept global payments instantly.
#AI builds smarter businesses.
Better rails keep them resilient.

Stablecoins and peer to peer payment systems can vastly simplify payments.
But Bitcoin Lightning could power this network: instant, cheap, decentralized, global payments.
The question isn’t if the system will be simplified—it’s how and by whom.

💡 Self-custody with less regulatory burden?
💡 Micropayments?
💡 User wallets?
Trust exists on a spectrum. Check out this guide to explore your options:

Hey Bitcoin and Lightning builders!
If your project uses Lightning, consider integrating NOSTR Wallet Connect. It’s straightforward and unlocks a world of possibilities for your app.
Interoperable wallets and apps make all our projects better— all at once ⚡️

Check it out - routing node experiment in progress 🧪🥼
We’re upgrading our mainnet node using Terminal and Loop by Lightning Labs ⚡️
Terminal even supports batch channel opening and recommends channel partners - it’s making our job easy!
Follow our progress here: https://amboss.space/es/node/02d55e7d3271abc86bdf0b8185f976b84fe38d3b01c1c88f74527abf2593806c47

Got a Bitcoin project idea? We build mobile apps, websites, custom wallets—whatever you need—and connect it all to Bitcoin, NOSTR, and Lightning ⚡️
We offer 4 hours of free scoping, cost estimation, and tech stack selection to get your project started.
DM us and let’s build! 🛠️💻

2024-11-26 20:28:54 UTC

Short week at Velas, but we’re building some cool stuff!
🔹 A new app with built-in Lightning tips via LNBits
🔹 Wallet connections for mobile using NWC & LNC
🔹 An e-commerce site bringing Austrian Christmas Markets to life with Bitcoin! 🎄⚡️
Happy holidays! 🛠️

2024-11-25 19:45:23 UTC

Building Bitcoin apps with peer-to-peer payments, rewards, or zaps? The best UX often combines multiple tools thoughtfully. Here’s a quick guide to get started:
User Wallets:
🔹Custodial (fast prototyping): LNBits
🔹Non-custodial (user nodes): Breez SDK, LDK Node
Server Nodes:
🔹For rewards & offline payments: LND, Core Lightning, Phoenixd, AlbyHub
Wallet Connections:
🔹Let users connect wallets: NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect), LNC (Lightning Node Connect)
This is just the beginning—Bitcoin dev tools are out there. Let’s build! ⚡️

Hey Bitcoin businesses! 🚀 @npub1t8a…56yu is gearing up for Bitcoin Black Friday and looking for businesses to feature.

There’s a great feature in LND: Inbound Channel Fees⚡️
Node runners can now set fees on inbound and outbound payments, improving liquidity signals and help solving issues like 'outbound drains.' 🪙
This upgrade enhances capital allocation and routing efficiency on Lightning.

If your business has a social media presence, NOSTR is starting to make business sense. With NOSTR your business owns its profile, content and social graph. That means a more resilient investment for your business than otherwise possible on traditional social network platforms.
If your business is on NOSTR, are you using analytics tools similar to those available on X? We’re curious for feedback.

In the latest Bitcoin Commerce Roundup, we dive into Bitcoin ATMs—a crucial part of Bitcoin adoption and a classic business model. But watch out: they’re also being misused in a surge of crypto scams targeting older consumers.
🚨 Remember, real businesses and agencies never ask for Bitcoin ATM payments. Stay safe and spread the word!
