Behind The Language Bariers
summary
Five European Bitcoin communities describe concrete wins and tools: multilingual channels launched around 2018–2019 that grow to 90,000 subscribers and 140,000 subscribers, monthly meetups scaling from 3 to 45 meetups, growing merchant acceptance and Lightning payments for coffee and bills, and node counts said to be comparable to the USA. Discussions cover ordinals versus stamps, when to call out scams, whether to hodl or spend into a local circular economy, and which technical tutorials are still missing in each language.
