Today’s Bitcoin news!
10-second BTC Price update: We shot up to $49,100 this morning as the first ever Bitcoin spot ETF’s were being purchased in record number. Then we came down to around $45k, but now leveled out around $47k. We seem to be range bound for now between $49k and $45k.
Must see speech by Michael Saylor:

- The changes, including a ban on crypto mixers, are expected this week.

BITCOIN FREEDOM FESTIVAL (happening right now!):
Walking around Uvita, Costa Rica and perusing the Bitcoin Marketplace at the Bitcoin Freedom Festival, buying goods with #bitcoin over the Lightning network from sats that reside on my node back home in the USA just feels magical. Partaking in a circular bitcoin economy is fairly unique and many will struggle to understand it without being on Nostr and experiencing all of the action first hand. I'm able to help #grownostr and community build and receive Zaps for my content and efforts here on Nostr thanks to all of you. Now, I'm using those value for value acquired sats to buy food, drinks, clothing, and other goods from local vendors down here at @BitcoinJungle in Costa Rica. Again, this all feels magical and exciting. Seeing Lightning just work and putting bitcoin into the hands of local merchants just feels incredible. Thank you all for the Zaps. They're being put to good use. ?

NOSTR ADVICE:
If you’re new to #nostr the best advice I can give you is to say hello, tag it with #introductions , and FOLLOW LOTS OF PEOPLE. Like literally follow everyone you can at first. You can curate that layer on once you figure out who you don’t want to keep following. But following A LOT of people is the number 1 way you’ll find interesting content and other people. People are the algorithm here. Follow them. Lots of them.

After our 10-second price update for Bitcoin, we discussed several groundbreaking developments in the world of Bitcoin adoption and digital innovation, each marking a significant stride in their respective fields.
Our discussion opened with a momentous announcement from Diana Mondino, Argentina's Minister of Foreign Affairs. She declared that contracts in Argentina can now be legally agreed upon using Bitcoin. This landmark decision is a huge leap for Bitcoin adoption globally, indicating a growing acceptance of Bitcoin at the governmental level. Argentina's bold move could potentially pave the way for more countries to follow suit, and it highlights the increasing influence of Bitcoin in the global economy.
LINK: https://twitter.com/DianaMondino/status/1737874320322424984
We then shifted our focus to the advertising realm, particularly a Bitwise commercial featuring "the most interesting man in the world." This intriguing advertisement raises a crucial question: Will institutions begin to run Super Bowl commercials for their spot Bitcoin ETFs? The involvement of such a high-profile event in the promotion of Bitcoin ETFs would signify a major shift in how financial products are marketed and reflects the growing mainstream interest in Bitcoin.
LINK: https://nostr.com/note1wljq30kyp9l69zv7hx022q526cdtmpnwqwyc67ktzylftz98kylqumgxex
Another exciting topic we explored was the introduction of River Link, a service that significantly simplifies the process of sending Bitcoin. With River Link, users can now send Bitcoin via text, DM, or email, even to individuals who aren't Bitcoin users. This innovation makes Bitcoin more accessible and user-friendly, potentially expanding its user base by simplifying sharing.
LINK: https://river.com/river-link
We also discussed Tunestr.io, a platform that livestreams music, allowing fans to directly support artists by 'zapping' them with satoshis, Bitcoin's smallest unit. This direct-to-artist payment system not only empowers musicians but also fosters a closer connection between artists and their audience, potentially transforming how artists are compensated for their work.
LINK: https://tunestr.io/
Lastly, we talked about Flare.pub, a new platform poised to challenge YouTube's dominance. Built on the Nostr protocol with Bitcoin Lightning network integration built-in, Flare.pub offers an alternative to the traditional video-sharing model.
