🧀 Cheese + Bitcoin = ❤️
Adding Bitcoin-friendly merchants on @`BTC Map` is fun work. Often, these are brief interactions via email, followed by a thank you or a tip in sats. But it's much more fun when someone sends something they've poured their passion and energy into.
Like David from d'r Senn, cheese master and "bacteria herder" from the German Allgäu region.
While we in the Netherlands are proud of our Edam and Leerdammer, David delivers true Allgäu cheese craftsmanship. He ages his cheeses in a 300-year-old vaulted cellar and calls himself a "bacteria herder", because it's the microorganisms that make the magic happen.
His motto? "Cheesemaking is like baking a cake, except sometimes a year goes by before you realize it didn't turn out right".
David, thank you for this delicious tasting package!

Living on a Bitcoin Standard: Meet the Man Who Sold Everything
What happens when you sell your house, your business, and walk away from steady income to live entirely on Bitcoin? We spoke to @nprofile…0wrp , a BTC Map contributor mapping merchants across Europe from his van.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF4tbkVQa-U
The Breaking Point
It didn't happen overnight. For @nprofile…0wrp , the journey to a Bitcoin-only life started with a string of closed doors, literally. PayPal shut down his business account. HSBC closed his personal account, citing "risk" because he shipped globally. Then Amazon banned him from selling.
"That was the start of looking for a Plan B," he recalls. But what began as backup planning evolved into something far more radical: selling his assets, his business, his house, and moving fully into Bitcoin.
"Going from a steady income to no income is a big shift," he admits. "But I was prepared to think long-term, ride out volatility, and start valuing everything in BTC."
The Human Cost
The transition wasn't just financial, it was social. "I lost most people along the way," he says quietly. "It can be a lonely path." Friends and family didn't always follow where he was going. He's made peace with that now, finding new communities "aligned by values and mindset."
Yet there's unexpected warmth too. Strangers have bought him meals when merchants wouldn't take his sats. Fellow Bitcoiners go out of their way to help. "There's a real sense of shared understanding," he says.
What Surprised Him
The kindness of the community tops the list. But he's also found something deeper: "Bitcoin gives you time and space to work on yourself. You start to realise that kindness and generosity have their own kind of return."
He doesn't buy the "HODL everything" mentality. "Energy should flow. Give without expecting anything back, whether that's money, time, or just presence."
The Frustrations
Not everything in Bitcoinland shines. "At times it can feel quite male-dominated and a bit macho, tribal and stuck in old paradigms," he notes. He'd like to see more families, more women, more diverse perspectives. The obsessive price-watching and political tribalism? "I don't resonate with that."
He also rejects the "Bitcoiners vs. normies" divide. "Ultimately, we're all one," he says. "Or as some would say, we are all Satoshi."
Where He Feels at Home
Not in conference halls, despite planning to drive his van to Bitcoin Prague this June. "In nature," he says, "surrounded by open, free, sovereign people."
The Doubts
Has he questioned his choice? "Yes. But I don't believe there are wrong choices, only lessons. Nothing is guaranteed. Bitcoin is a path I've chosen fully."
His Advice to the Hesitant
"Real change rarely comes from half measures. At some point, you have to commit."
And then, unexpectedly: "Watch the film Tin Cup."
On Actually Using Bitcoin
For those who stack but never spend, he has direct words: "Use it or lose it." Small groups acting together create change. "If 10, 20, or 50 people regularly choose not to spend at places that don't accept Bitcoin, then things will shift."
Right now, he's living that truth, passing through the Isle of Man, updating BTC Map listings, and occasionally offering to wash dishes for a meal if that's what it takes. "I'd much rather be adding merchants than removing them," he laughs.
But first: reality. Always reality.
Want to meet him? Find PilgrimB at Bitcoin Prague this June, or follow his journey on NOSTR and Signal. Just don't expect him to check Twitter.

I’m spending a few days in Leipzig. Right in the heart of the city, there’s a unique spot embracing a new wave of freedom and innovation: Café Kollwitz. This cozy café, famous for its vibrant Leipziger art, excellent coffee, and freshly made vegan cakes, has taken an exciting leap forward in payment options. Thanks to an inspiring conversation and a touch of enthusiasm, the owner of Café Kollwitz is now completely “orange-pilled,” which means you can now pay here with Bitcoin! Of course, I immediately added them to BTCmap.

Bhutan, a small Himalayan Buddhist Kingdom, known for its unique guiding philosophy of Gross National Happiness — is taking bold steps into the future.
Not only does Bhutan currently rank 3rd in the world in sovereign #BTC holdings, the Kingdom now also has launched a nationwide campaign to encourage local businesses to accept Bitcoin as a means of payment.
Bhutan, its economy highly depended on tourism, is especially aiming to have foreign visitors to the country be able to pay anything and everything in Bitcoin, from flights to hotels to meals to handicrafts to excursions.
Yoga Yangchen, a social wellbeing entrepreneur from Bhutan, is the first Bhutanese Bitcoin acceptant and the first Bhutanese entrepreneur on our BTCMap.

Bitcoin Takes Root in Fornelli, Italy!
In a remarkable move towards digital currency adoption, the charming Italian town of Fornelli, home to just 2,000 residents, has embraced Bitcoin like never before! Thanks to the passion of local enthusiast Mattia Pannoni, nearly all merchants in this quaint community are now accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment.
From the supermarket to the bakery, barber, car mechanic, bars, restaurants, B&Bs, and even the flower shop. Twenty merchants in total are on board. Fornelli boasts more Bitcoin-accepting businesses than the bustling city of Naples, which has a population of over 1 million!
While Fornelli may not be a well-known tourist hotspot, it offers a unique glimpse into authentic Italian life, blending tradition with modernity. This small town is setting a big example for others, showcasing how communities can adapt to the digital age.
So, whether you're a local or just passing through, don’t forget to bring your Bitcoin wallet and experience the future of payments in Fornelli!
