This video by Nic Laporte shows how the surrounding of Arnhem Bitcoin City is seen by a foreigner. Great to see this as a local. (Not a bitcoin video, but very enjoyable nonetheless) h/t @Sebastix

The Dutch bitcoin companies have won a lawsuit against the regulator. Good to read that the lawsuit against DNB (the Dutch central bank) has been won on appeal. I actively contributed to this at the start in my former role as chairman of the United Bitcoin Companies Netherlands (VBNL). Winning a lawsuit against a party who's main job is to make sure everyone is compliant is a *huge* thing. However, the damage is done; Some companies are gone already.

I broke open an old piggy bank and found foreign currency left over from holidays abroad with my parents as a child. I don't remember how I got this specific piggy bank as I've never been a customer of "SpaarBank Rotterdam".

Bitcoin Pizza Day in Arnhem. First pizza dinner at one of the 3 pizzerias that accept bitcoin here (remember all the merchants are saving the bitcoin in Arnhem, no instant conversion). After that we had a debate about OP_RETURN where I took Oceans/Knots side and @Aaron van Wirdum defended Bitcoin Core's side (we could have changed positions). It was very educational and fun to see how Aaron gave in after my final argument 😂

Molly White is my favorite crypto critic. I wish I could zap her some sats.
