Jacob from Bitcoin Walk joins us to tell us all about the Bitcoin Walk initiative - going for walks with Bitcoiners every Saturday - a great meetup alternative to build local communities!

Key Takeaways: 🔹Bitcoin Walk provides a platform for open-minded conversations and learning about Bitcoin. 🔹Walking together creates a supportive and judgment-free environment for discussing Bitcoin. 🔹Bitcoin walks can help build lasting friendships and mentorships within the Bitcoin community. 🔹There is a strong Bitcoin community in Poland, and Jacob was surprised by the number of Bitcoin enthusiasts he met there. 🔹Jacob is planning to move to Madeira and hopes to build a community there focused on Bitcoin and unschooling. 🔹Real-life connections and interactions are important, and initiatives like Bitcoin Walk provide an opportunity for people to meet and discuss Bitcoin in person.

Miljan from Primal joins the show to tell us all about the inner workings of Nostr!

Key Takeaways: 🔹Nostr is an open protocol for speech and publishing, allowing users to create cryptographic identities and communicate through relays. 🔹The protocol is simple, with key pairs for users, client apps for creating and signing messages, and relays for storing and retrieving messages. 🔹The value proposition of Nostr lies in its ability to provide content creators with ownership and control over their content and audience. 🔹Nostr enhances the Bitcoin ecosystem by enabling lightning payments and providing a global public lightning directory. 🔹The scalability of Nostr is being addressed through the use of relays and caching services. 🔹The future of Nostr is optimistic, with the potential to consume all apps with social graphs and create an unstoppable network of speech and money.
