EP93: Life’s a Breez with Ivan Makedonski

www.breez.technology has been around for a while, and to be honest I didn’t know much about it, so when Ivan reached out to have a chat it seemed like as good a time as any to start learning.  Located in Sofia, Bulgaria, Ivan (@Nackoo2000) is the Chief of Staff (Chief of Stuff) and first non-developer to work for Breez. He’s my favourite type of bitcoiner...the ones that are here for the mission first, knowing the money will take care of itself.    We discuss:  Primal on Nostr (desktop). 100x improvement  Being orange-pilled by your lady  Devoting a holiday to prove her wrong  We’re all on the same team. Love not money  Bitcoiners with conviction are those who first tried to prove it a scam  Bitcoin striking an intense emotional button  The ultimate measuring stick is unit of energy  The challenge of explaining Bitcoin to loved ones  Not asking for permission. Just starting and trying to make an impression  The practicalities of remote working  Being aligned on the mission and genuine care for your colleagues  Bitcoiners coming out of the shadows in Bulgaria  The functionality of Breez and the importance of Lightning as the medium of exchange   Lightning Service Providers  Business and Personal Goals  Custodial versus Non-Custodial and improving reliability  Saving versus Using Bitcoin  Spending Sats creates another node in the network  Instant settlement  Aligning incentives and split payments  Consequences for cheating    Pod Shout-outs  https://twitter.com/Breez_Tech   https://twitter.com/JasonPLowery   https://twitter.com/JeffBooth   https://twitter.com/FossGregfoss   https://twitter.com/natbrunell   https://twitter.com/knutsvanholm  https://twitter.com/fountain_app  https://twitter.com/BullBitcoin_  https://twitter.com/Mtheadventuross      Enter or Support the Kids Art Competition  www.bitcoin-first.com/kids-art-competition   At least 1,222,047 sats to be won!  Plus, prizes from www.shamory.com       Contact Us  www.2bitidiots.com
