The Bulgarian capital Sofia hosted a #Bitcoin conference on June 8-9. Here are some interesting projects that presented at the conference and some highlights:

Aleksander Svetski @dtgg…up6m introduced his upcoming book “The Bushido of Bitcoin”, about a code of virtues on a Bitcoin Standard.

Proof of work = beauty = truth.. and with our own actions we can make this a reality and set an example!

Svetski also introduced @Satlantis: Social Events , a social media app with a focus on traveling.

Satlantis is a Nostr client with user-generated information about different cities.

Think of Tripadvisor, Booking, Google reviews all in one app, with BTC payments via Nostr.

@g94r…v342 talked about the Nostr Wallet Connect protocol @NWC that can bring bitcoin Lightning payments to ANY app via a Nostr relay!

Flash The Bitcoin Payment Gateway is a software solution using NWC under the hood to e.g. enable BTC subscription payments for businesses.

Ben de Waal gave a useful tip about spending bitcoin: call a high-end restaurant (that doesn’t accept BTC) and say that you would like to book a table for a 3-course meal. At the end of the call say that you would like to pay with BTC. You might get surprised!

Jacob Piotrowski talked about @bitcoinwalk , a Bitcoin meet-up that combines talking about Bitcoin with walking and fresh air! Seems like the concept is taking over the world!

Daniel Prince @Danielprince was MC’ing, and instantly became my favorite Bitcoin conference MC.

Professional, but relaxed style with enough humor sprinkled in here and there.

Many other interesting talks, and there was also program in Bulgarian.

Thanks to the organizing team for a great conference experience!
