Building Bitcoin Standard in Portugal – Bitcoin Magazine

This is an opinion editorial by Holly Young, Ph.D., an active builder in the Portuguese Bitcoin community.

And if you look out to sea, you can understand why, as the gray Atlantic Ocean stretches as far as the eye can see to America in one direction, and to North Africa in another. Names referring to the edge of the earth (“Fisterra,” “Finisterre”) are common along the Atlantic coastline.
