Great couple of events yesterday in Vancouver about Bitcoin put on by @npub1h2q…w8ch & @btcvancity. I was able to talk about VEXL before Anil talked about Bitcoin

Cole went to Corduroy restaurant and I went to Poseidon restaurant to finish up a great day of spending Sats and using the Lightning network ⚡️⚡️ https://image.nostr.build/754860ffab292cb7f7cc522cf1d888b270c3a35ee4781640e9d185edb6b263d7.jpg

I honestly think Vancouver is the greatest city in the world for #Bitcoin adoption. With the help of a few friends today we are going to see how many merchants we can go to that accept Bitcoin in one day @npub1h2q…w8ch . Follow along here 🧵

Made a video showing how quick and easy it is to zap your friends on @npub1ve8…9ka6 zapping my friend @npub1q3d…zmcg https://video.nostr.build/70a792b0f080a15a1f90ed5aaffb23ad547ec509123bab579881fee189ca87ac.mov

There is nothing wrong with HODLING but if you are able to send zaps, spend sats at merchants (and ideally replace what you’ve spent) I think you should as much as you can. We need every bitcoiner using the lightning network consistently. A lot of bitcoiners I’ve met don’t have lightning wallets and I think using the lightning network is the key to the circular economy. #note1hex…fws2

And I’m still going 🤝⚡️ #note1y06…m533

Or pay it forward and zap someone you never have before!

Up to ~700 messages sent ~250 connections on @npub1ve8…9ka6 I’ve zapped almost 500 people for a total of almost 150,000 sats, I’ve been zapped ~15 times now and have gained a total of 130 followers on here and 95 followers on Nostr, 7 pending signups/referrals for OPA as well ⚡️going to take a short break and grab a beer with a fellow bitcoiner and then I’ll be back on 🤝👊

Was slightly off with my numbers before but 500 messages sent and 300 people zapped on @npub1ve8…9ka6 have talked to about 100 on there, 50 new followers on Nostr and 100 on Twitter, Brian De Mint adding a 10k sat prize on Twitter added a ton of visibility and interactions.

I’ve sent about 350 messages out and 300 zaps out (90,000 sats) about 50 peoples invoices aren’t working which does happen sometimes, about 10 people have already fixed/updated their lightning wallet. In the first 4 hours 60 of 350 people have messaged me back. What I find really interesting is I have added 15 more followers on Nostr since I started this and only 10 on Twitter @npub1sg6…f63m I have a feeling this trend is going to continue. I am going to take a short break from connecting/zapping and walk my dog and then will get right back to it.

2023-07-31 18:38:02 UTC

Doing an experiment on @npub1ve8…9ka6 I’m going to be zapping everyone who has their lightning wallet attached. ~700 people, if you aren’t on there already here’s my referral code. signup.theorangepillapp.com/opa/Mikedegroot I’ll be updating this while I zap people #Bitcoin
