@ Bitcoin Indonesia 🇮🇩
2024-04-25 03:56:26On 21st April 2024, the Kajan Eatery in Canggu, Bali, became a lively hub filled with curious minds and bitcoin maximalists. This special gathering was part of a world tour by YakiHonne, aiming to bring together passionate supporters of Bitcoin and Nostr from around the globe.
**A Day of Learning about Nostr Protocol ** The event was a deep dive into the world of Bitcoin and Nostr, important technologies of privacy and freedom on the internet. Nostr, which stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays," impressed me with its focus on keeping communication private and free from control. It works by letting many independent nodes pass messages along, strengthening the network's privacy and reliability.
We also explored how Nostr works hand-in-hand with the Lightning Network, which makes Bitcoin transactions faster and cheaper. This combination enhances both messaging and financial transactions, showing the power of Bitcoin and Nostr working together.
YakiHonne showcased its platform that's built on Nostr protocol and focuses on sharing media like articles and videos in a way that protects the creator’s freedom and even lets them earn some Bitcoin—a magic internet money—while they share their work.
**Hands-On Experience: Downloading and Earning ** A standout moment was when most of us downloaded the YakiHonne app. The organizers walked us through the setup and even gave us some Bitcoin to start. This wasn't just learning; it was doing. For a few of us, it was our first step into the world of Bitcoin, made simple and exciting by the guidance we received.
**Thoughts and Feelings About the Day ** This wasn't just another Bitcoin meetup; it felt like the beginning of an end of authoritarian regime Indonesia is in. We were all there because we believe in a future where the internet is free and open. Learning about Bitcoin’s roots in privacy and democracy from Satoshi Nakamoto's writings, and seeing how these ideas are still alive in projects like Nostr and YakiHonne, was inspiring.
**Hoping for More ** As the day ended, none of us wanted to leave. We had started the day as strangers but became companions in the journey towards a more censorship resistant world. There’s a strong desire in all of us for YakiHonne to return to Bali, to continue this journey and learn about Bitcoin and Nostr.
In short, the event by YakiHonne and Bitcoin Indonesia was much more than a workshop. It was a powerful experience that helped us understand the importance of censorship resistant protocols like Bitcoin and Nostr. We all even got some YakiHonne T-shirts, thanks to Ruby and Coral who travelled across the seas to visit us in Bali. Until next time!
