I publish on Medium (English) and Substack (Spanish) because they allow me to share the full article with more space, structure, and context. They’re also more accessible platforms for nocoiners who aren’t on Stacker yet. Still getting used to using Stacker.news myself 😅

And about the statue… I swear it was already gone when I got there 😇

Then do it! It’s not just a trip — it’s a way to experience with your own hands what we often only debate in theory. Lugano isn’t perfect, but it makes one thing clear: the change has already begun… and it can be lived. Plus, there’s a strong Bitcoin community in the city.

When you go, share it. More people need to see this is real.

Yes, Lugano isn’t exactly cheap compared to other countries. I used WoS for the purchases. I also had Phoenix, but since I know people who’ve used WoS there without issues, I went with that. As for the POS devices: they worked fine, although they took a few seconds to process (nothing too bad)… and one didn’t work at all (or at least that’s what they told me).

🧡 It was a real and valuable experience — with its highs and lows.
