Turning Stages into Circular Economies | Bitcoin 2026
"Bitcoin is not just something we hold. It's something we use, and something we can earn together." That's the closing thought from Francis Mars of Pubpay and ChainDuel at Bitcoin 2026, and it sums up the whole talk. He demos Pubpay Live — a Nostr + Lightning app that puts a zap-able QR code on stage so audiences can reward speakers in real time. He covers the El Salvador rollout, the partnership with the Human Rights Foundation, and why permissionless tech is the only way activists, musicians, and builders can actually get paid.Trade Bitcoin's next move on Duelbits Predict — get 100% cashback on your first bet, up to $100.
