Today I&#39;d like to focus on BUIDL day for Bitcoin Tokyo. I have been wanting to visit Tokyo Bitcoin Base since it opened earlier this year - and it has the best first impression, with the Satoshi statue out front! <br/><br/>The interior is very nicely done, with four floors - two of which were used for presentations and one for a networking event after the presentations. As it&#39;s mostly a vertical space, and the number of participants that could attend each presentation was limited to 50-70. It felt more like a meetup to me, which made me feel quite comfortable during my panel.<br/><br/>I enjoyed discussing open source grants with Calvin and Seed. I hope the audience took something away from our conversation. I sat in on several other panels, and was surprised that there was a presentation on Silent Payments - something that we&#39;re very excited about at OpenSats. I also enjoyed the discussion on why UI/UX is hard to get right and the example of how iconic the mempool blockchain has become.<br/><br/>I had the opportunity to talk to many people - RockStarDev, Luke, Stephan, the Plan B crew and many others! Koji and Teruko gave me some great feedback on why we don&#39;t see many OpenSats applicants from Japan (and Korea and Taiwan and many other nearby countries) and some ideas on how to move forward. These conversations alone were worth the trip for me.<br/><br/>The professionalism and friendliness of the staff was apparent - I thought it was a well run event. Unfortunately I was not able to make the main conference day, so I hope everyone enjoyed it! 2025-11-26T10:52:08Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0xyadjte6jhyj7u5prfhedye8g0xx4w5ml8mdnhut3pstf2vphuqzyzw96h3wpgwkqvz845rs4vvykj948lzdmcyx0ef04kkawcxrzemrvahxr5j In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqqf70xn5fg9zwywsyqna0jdkmhhzepsknunrwwdjt6khqkg0hs3qpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhghk5d84'>nevent1q…5d84</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqsgfvxyd2mfntp4avk29pj8pwz7pqwmyzrummmrjv3rdsuhg9mc9agpz3mhxw309ucnydewxqhrqt338g6rsd3e9uq3gamn8ghj7vfjxuhrqt3s9ccn5dpcxucz7j56uf4" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>mono</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…6uf4</span>)</a></span> も！ <br/><br/> 2025-11-26T00:26:47Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsweu6nz4x0wmhxn02mtrn3nxzt6kjgyuw2p99qh0uy738h48slw0czyzw96h3wpgwkqvz845rs4vvykj948lzdmcyx0ef04kkawcxrzemrvqklrrq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqqf70xn5fg9zwywsyqna0jdkmhhzepsknunrwwdjt6khqkg0hs3qpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhghk5d84'>nevent1q…5d84</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Nice to chat with <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qyvhwumn8ghj7mrpdenjuun9d3shjuewd3skuep0dfssz8nhwden5te0dehhxarj94c82c3wwajkcmr0wfjx2u3wdejhgtcqyqxfk85laamv3zmrlpnythpnhdmh0up9nmzpue6tv860c4fldkcwqs7nqx2" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>shi_on_72</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…nqx2</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7cnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpzamhxue69uhkjmnzdauzuun9d3shjuewd3skueqqyqgpkv8w3rp85y77dzlherqxx6828clgxajpt9wpse6kwlgc534y29qjdfn" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>hakkadaikon</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…jdfn</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qyshwumn8ghj7cmpvakxjmmnw3ezucm0d4cxjmr994jhyun0wghxuet5qyvhwumn8ghj7mrpdenjuun9d3shjuewd3skuep0dfssqg9nuslge3lxmler5v7eyyarayfd39d3c0jz2qjquryem0h7xp5ttudn0jkt" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>kojira</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…0jkt</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qqswcsk8v4qck0deepdtluag3a9rh0jh2d0wh0w9g53qg8a9x2xqvqqqzltcg" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>ロクヨウ</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…ltcg</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqsvxagzz2s83m7cmpx39z820r4z2jfzcfkpxn3urfzdvjm0kudsu7quxfcn4" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Stakeoftheart</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…fcn4</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skueqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqg85aytdyg8evx0phgdzs7hx94nrzfvanc2znxkwqvhs3vuae6t465kgjs6x" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>koji</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…js6x</span>)</a></span> and many others!

I had so many great conversations and takeaways that I’ll be sharing over the coming days. Let’s start with Nostrasia.<br/><br/>I was pleasantly surprised by Nostrasia—I expected around 50 people, but it was closer to three times that. It was also a bit of a treasure hunt to find the venue; my only clue was a small sign by the elevator. The crowd was roughly 80% Japanese and 20% foreign attendees, whereas Bitcoin BUIDL Day was the opposite ratio.<br/><br/>The venue was a good size for the crowd. The presentation space worked well, and there were a few side areas where people could chat and relax. The hookah room was a nice touch and a great place for conversation. Presentations were scattered throughout the night, along with a live action event featuring a superhero.<br/><br/>I’ve included a few of the more interesting slides from my presentation. These are based on a survey I ran a few weeks ago, asking Japanese developers about their biggest pain points when applying for grants. The first slide roughly translates as:<br/><br/>- I’m not confident my work qualifies as something that can be “supported”<br/>- Communicating in English is difficult<br/>- I don’t know what kinds of projects are eligible<br/>- I’m worried about handling taxes and accounting<br/>- I’m used to working as a full-time employee, so short-term support feels unstable<br/>- I’m unsure if I can continue the work, so I feel guilty accepting funding<br/><br/>I was happy to speak with so many developers and discuss why OpenSats doesn’t see many applications from Japanese developers. It was enlightening for me, and I think there’s more we can do to help. For example, most people didn’t know that OpenSats allows part-time grants. <br/><br/>The main issue is a knowledge gap—many don’t understand what kinds of projects are eligible (see our criteria for more info: <a href="https://opensats.org/apply#criteria">https://opensats.org/apply#criteria</a>). I’d wager that more outreach in Japanese would help.<br/><br/>I was glad I could deliver half of my presentation in Japanese, as I really wanted to connect with the Japanese community. I felt my Japanese wasn’t good enough to do the whole thing in Japanese, but maybe next year!<br/><br/>This is already getting a bit lengthy, so I’ll wrap it up for now. Many thanks to the team that ran Nostrasia—it was a great event and I look forward to attending in the future!<br/> 2025-11-25T06:38:13Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvl6sytn9mcxdsw2gattwd5srrxn3tnsqw8csw5ttt2tfw3myxvfgzyzw96h3wpgwkqvz845rs4vvykj948lzdmcyx0ef04kkawcxrzemrvpw9l6s In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9tgnsrml82mvh3l0v3jc279qcf2l34vgzgxh4v9x9ntfl6ew7akcpr9mhxue69uhk2umsv4kxsmewva5hy6twduhx7un89uy4epzn'>nevent1q…epzn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>ご紹介ありがとうございます！みなさんにお会いできるのを楽しみにしています！ 2025-11-17T00:23:03Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsw9gp3u7yml8gw9fnyamhcylwkmq2l3ygvlffmzztmjgta6cxsxegzyzw96h3wpgwkqvz845rs4vvykj948lzdmcyx0ef04kkawcxrzemrv6ryshx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspyct3lkgnj872zvqj6r03v7adj6qknquqpjc5mu3syvdjg9lpv6cpr9mhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5ugx3vd'>nevent1q…x3vd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m sad we don&#39;t get to meet up for SatsNFacts next month.

If not, how did you expect to have a meaningful interaction with Japanese people? The people you&#39;re talking about in rural America speak the same language as you.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve gone many places in Japan and had meaningful interactions. There&#39;s definitely more of a divide between strangers and acquaintances than western countries, but I find rural Japan to be far more welcoming. I met a guy that&#39;s about 70 the other day while he was out working in his garden and we&#39;ve chatted a few times over the past week because we&#39;re both out early in the morning. He gave me some eggplant and said he&#39;d help me plant some strawberries if I want. We talked about his former job and we talked about our families. <br/><br/>I get what you&#39;re talking about - Japan can definitely feel lonely. The big cities are probably quite bad in that regard. But it can be a warm and welcoming country as well. 2024-10-19T13:16:08Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswqlhqmpgnx3rapkhrwg4jk6a5ryyqvv45e7adw4urvtkq4w5nkpszyzw96h3wpgwkqvz845rs4vvykj948lzdmcyx0ef04kkawcxrzemrvlyuv0w I met a couple in my neighbourhood in the countryside of Japan. In their 70s. <br/><br/>As I was walking by they were working in a large garden. We had a chat and they said they moved from the city four years ago to start farming. In their 70s. <br/><br/>The husband said each day is hard and I asked what he had did before - he said he worked in semiconductors. The guy retired from what was likely a lucrative career and he and his wife decided to take up farming. In their 70s. <br/><br/>I can&#39;t stop thinking about it. No one decides to take up farming when they retire. Most people probably just watch some TV, read a few books and travel. These two decided to try their hand at farming &amp; they seemed happy to be out working the land. In their 70s.<br/><br/>Incredible. 2024-10-10T10:36:51Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsy5tdv5d0uzq7yjzj4rhyjpn4npw05e7anqqekg5z5q63vy6ekcxgzyzw96h3wpgwkqvz845rs4vvykj948lzdmcyx0ef04kkawcxrzemrvd30vkz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxxmkqefu9c9gggxfhng7rmrljs8cy8cn3mg9whl4a9qcrnmqcqeqpqwhqu'>nevent1q…whqu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Slightly different than Japan! 2024-10-07T02:55:02Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0na8egj9qtd335jlva973sk32unvyqachmyad04hqd8u3fqek4qczyzw96h3wpgwkqvz845rs4vvykj948lzdmcyx0ef04kkawcxrzemrvxgrdz9 <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Start9</span> (<span class="italic">npub126n…e9ll</span>)</a></span> OS update - Bitcoin Core installed and synced.
