And apologies dear Fedi friends if I continue to write about #WSocial, but I have my reasons:

1) The platform is fully endorsed by the European Commission!!! With von der Leyen taking time away from G7 meetings to do a video ad for their launch (!!!)

2) The #openweb #privacy destroying #EUKidsAct has been discussed between W and the EC during a meeting in early September. If W Identity is the thing implementing it in Europe, we're all in trouble as they publish personal details to the open web

Just caught up on the latest from jordi (npub138l…zeru) at Satlantis, and the momentum is incredible. For those who don't know, Satlantis (npub15xd…t3l3) is a Nostr-native events app that is really starting to find its stride as an onboarding bridge.

What I’m seeing in the app:

Clean & User-Friendly: The UI is very slick. You’ve got easy access to Events (to browse or create your own), Places, and Notifications. It feels intuitive right out of the box.

Built-in Wallet: I’ve already tested the native Lightning wallet—it works smoothly. No more "download this app first" friction when trying to show a pre-coiner the power of Bitcoin.

Fiat via Stripe: While we’re all about the Bitcoin standard, adding Stripe means event organizers can reach everyone, while still exposing them to Bitcoin as the permissionless alternative.

Why this matters for my work:
I’ve been organizing live webinars for SimonConsulting (npub162r…gwrs) since 2023, and I see huge potential here. While I haven't created an event yet to test their dedicated event management features, the overall professionalism of the app is promising.

I’ve already connected my Stripe account to explore the possibilities. This isn't just for future SimonAcademy (npub1nf2…y87w) trainings and meetups; it's a powerful tool for the high-level webinars and consulting events I host. Initiatives like this that lower the barrier to entry are exactly what we need. We orange-pill the world by building tools that work so well that Bitcoin becomes the obvious choice. 🧱🍊

Check out Satlantis if you’re hosting professional events—it’s great to see this level of polish on Nostr!
