gm frens! It's a lovely (and slightly rainy) morning here in the crypto-friendly neighborhood of 4 Grados Norte in Guatemala City.
We just finished recording a podcast with our dear friend Starkerz.
All that chitter chatter gets the tummy rumbling, so we went out for breakfast and recorded this step-by-step video on how to pay a LIghtning invoice using $HBD we've earned within the HIVE ecosystem.
Share this video and show your friends how we're building a circular economy.
$HBD never tasted so good!

This is amazing right? I think we can approach many more merchants and show them how easy and free it is.
Also, by showing imdividuals how easy it is to spend $HBD they earned from adding value within the $HIVE ecosystem, we can help create an alternate economy.
Thats what HBD making, the alternate economy and here that can be a way to beat up the extreme inflación or atleast cost it.
"HBD never tasted so good!"
Amazing video! I'm glad to see @starkerz traveling all around Latin America.
Quisiera que pudieras venir hermano, para américa latina, sería grandioso y poder conocerte en persona.
Bueno, México es parte de América Latina jajaja. Pero sí, yo creo que el otro año sí voy a Venezuela.
Jajajajja yo y mis cosas, bueno acá estaremos esperándote brazos abiertos hermano, ojalá sea pronto.
😄 haha Starkerz is amazing and these phrases are going to be used everywhere.
Notable! Luego de mucho tiempo desconectado, vuelvo y me encuentro con esto. Hive avanza, paso a pasito. Que bueno ese encuentro con starkerz. Un abrazo hermano!
Hive dejó de ser moneditas magicas en internet. HIVE ya es una economía mundial, soberana, gratuita y rápida que nos permite crear e intercambiar valor online y offline; Es increíble pero cierto.
moneditas mágicas 🤣
Que bueno ver a Matt llevando lo que observo acá en Cumaná estado Sucre, en Venezuela.
Esto se esparcirá por todo el mundo, estamos construyendo algo asombróso.
Que alegría siento de ver esto.
Saludos @alex-rourke les deseo éxitos ambos.
Edmundo! Matt venía impresionado de lo que están haciendo en Sucre! Nos ha contado con muchísimo entusiasmo y esperamos poder aprender y replicar en alguna medida lo que están construyendo por allá.
Gracias por dar el ejemplo, hermano!
Hermano estoy a la orden para lo que necesiten, y el equipo de Hivesucre igualmente.
Lo que ustedes necesiten nuestras ideas y manos están a la orden.
Extrañamos mucho a Matt jajajaja.
Abrazos !
This is fantastic, all over the world demonstrating that you can create a circular economy using our stable currency HBD. Everyone doing their bit for our ecosystem, a big hug from Cumaná Sucre Venezuela and greetings to the great @starkerz that we had him here a few days ago.
Look what he brought us from Venezuela! The most delicious chocolate in the world is made by #hive family in Sucre!
Yes, it is a delicious chocolate, actually the company that manufactures it is located in the state of Anzoategui, a state that is next to Sucre, but most likely they have also used the best cocoa that is from our land Sucre. Greetings brother and keep up the good work.
Brutal !
That's great, man. That video looks like a professional commercial. You even have a motto XD I can't wait for this to become widespread all over the world, especially in Turkey.
I'm sooo going to use that phrase in my next video 😄
I'm looking forward to see it and I'll tag you if I record a video like that haha
That is really cool. I am curious how the store charges though? Is it charging in bitcoin or in dollar amounts? Either way, I hope more establishments offer this, and it also becomes available in the Philippines.
Yes, they use a Bitcoin payment terminal. The total is priced in dollars and then we just pay in $HBD using @v4vapp. The waiter won't tell the difference. The merchant won't tell the difference.
If there is any merchant that accepts Bitcoin over Lightning in the Philipines, you can already do this. Just follow Matt's instructions in the video.
Oh, that's cool. So that is why there are no fees or conversions. Unfortunately I don't know of any merchant that accepts Bitcoin in the PH yet.
We made this video to show people how easy it is. Maybe you can approach some small shop owners and show them, they might be willing to try.
I'll ask around. They might have some reservations on how to liquidate/convert it to Fiat, but we'll see. Thanks.
Is bro in disguise? 😂
Bro is disguised as a modern goat-herder or something. I can't tell. He's also not doing a very good job of blending in 😄
Goat herders are not supposed to blend in. They manage the GOATs and should dress appropriately
You Are the GOAT! Send photos of the lake!
Lol I love how you removed your phone while typing the password “can’t see that”😂
I love how far the Hive system is growing, boy! We’ve been here for a short period of time but we are striving and extending our tentacles😃
Truly HBD never tasted so good😃
Gotta keep your keys safe! haha 😄. We are spreading value across the universe now. It's incredible.
You sure have to😂😂
Amazing. I cannot wait for small merchants to get into HBD, like craftsmen and so on. I have my eyes on a pair of boots I can only dream of buying with HBD...on aliexpress
Yes, right now I'm going to take a three-prong approach:
Yhe video is awesome
I didn't even know anything about lightning HBD
Thank you
You're very welcome!
Make a video of yourself paying with $HBD and I'll be sure to upvote it :)
You can use this video as an instruction manual.
HBD usage keep spreading around
That's because we're building bridges across blockchains; not only HIVE. We are connecting dots in more ways than one, my friend :)

Check out our last posts:
Have heard alot about v4v app but didn't really know what exactly it is used for. Though am confuse about the video and what lightening is all about but its amazing to see a pay going so smoothly as never before, HBD is really making an impact
@fredaig 'lightning' is bitcoin on the lightning network. Lightning network is layer 2 bitcoin. Fast, light weight and cheap to move. It is designed to be used in merchant settings.
V4V app allows you to spend your hbd on the lightning network. So any business that accepts lightning network bitcoin... you can go to and spend your hbd and the business will not need to know anything about hive or hbd. V4V is a game changer for Hive!
Ohhhh so its all about HBD then, understood thanks for the explanation ☺️
Wow, Through this post, it keeps me more inspiring by making good quality post here in Hive Platform. Truly, I am very proud to be here as one of Hive members. ♥️👏
It helps us specially in Emergency needs.
