Here’s a cool layer 0 (human interaction) story I wanted to share from the halving party I attended.
So the party was at a local business, a place that sells amazing baked goods and coffee, it was booked as a private event after its normal business hours. It’s in a building resembling a residential home on the corner of the main street that goes through that town. It was a very nice day out so the front door that led out to the sidewalk along the main street had been propped open.
Some random guy walks up to grab a coffee thinking that the business is open as they’re setting up for the event. The organizer of the party (let’s call him John) is there and tells the guy sorry the business isn’t open, we just have a private event. As the random guy (we will call him bob) starts to turn around John says “wait…. Do you like bitcoin?” Bob said he doesn’t know anything about it but it sounds interesting.
Bob ends up hanging out for the entire halving party, he was set up with a LN wallet and a few of us sent him bitcoin AND he bought a cold card from an authorized reseller that had some of their inventory right there at the party.
Imagine being orange pilled by walking up to a HALVING party, witnessing the halving during the party and having amazing, knowledgable people there to set him up with LN wallets, send him bitcoin instantly AND even get him a device for cold storage. Bob went from “normie” life to having the tools to self custody the hardest money on earth in a matter of hours. Bob also happened to be a veteran and is now connected to the Bitcoin Veterans (npub1qkt…ms0r) network.
This is the power of layer 0.
