We're on a mission to get merchants that accept #bitcoin properly tagged within @OpenStreetMaps and beautifully visualised within FOSS mobile and web apps.

Empanadas in Funchal, paid in Bitcoin. 🥟
We went to Between Cafe for what might be some of the best empanadas in town, and we paid in Bitcoin over Lightning.
Every time we spend Bitcoin at a local business, the island’s circular economy gets a bit stronger. Go hungry and pay in sats!

Empanadas no Funchal, pagas em bitcoin. 🥟
Fomos ao Between Cafe provar umas das melhores empanadas da cidade e pagámos em bitcoin, pela Lightning.
Sempre que usamos bitcoin num negócio local, a economia da ilha fica um pouco mais forte. Vai com fome e paga em sats!

Got sats and nowhere to spend them?
The map in Trustless shows nearby shops that take Bitcoin or Lightning. You can now filter by category, so restaurants, hotels and services are easy to find.

Next @nathan_day presented on a range of different projects which he has been working on.
First up were his nostr projects gamestr and attestr. Gamestr is decentralised gaming on nostr. Having launched with a single game (Blockstr.io, which he built with his son) in November 2025 they are now up to 50 games. Attestr aims to use attestations to show what people believed to be true at a given time.
He then presented an update on @btcmap, an open, community-maintained map of the businesses around the world that accept bitcoin. Anyone can add a shop, café, beach-bar, and the community works to ensure the data is up to date. He demonstrated the new functionality which has been unlocked by their recent architectural overhaul.
Finally, he encouraged everyone to sign up for the 2026 Bitfest 19-22nd November at bitfest.uk

HODL is the great meme in bitcoin’s history.
Now the HODL mentality is preventing bitcoin from advancing to the next level of adoption.
If you want number go up, spend your sats.
Support businesses you appreciate with the best money.
Spend and replace if needed.

A long time coming.
Blink shipped the first bitcoin wallet with a merchant map.
Open source, but the architecture was a data silo. The right idea in the wrong shape.
@btcmap fixed the architecture and kept it open. So we ported it back (and many other wallets adopted a merchant map thanks to them)
Adoption as money lives or dies on where you can actually spend it, and circular economies start with knowing who accepts bitcoin. The map is that on-ramp.
1/ Bitcoin Map is in Blink. Finally!
As we roll out BTC Map in Blink, we want Bitcoin communities everywhere to help us make the map better.
If you've added Bitcoin merchants before, now is the time to check, update and verify your old listings. Add new, remove inactive.
Your local knowledge makes the map stronger. 🧡
