📍 See it in the wild: a real place that takes sats
Learning Bitcoin is one thing; spending it is the test. The homestead behind these courses — Wildfarm Homestead in Wilderness — takes bitcoin for a bed, a braai and a beer, on-chain and over Lightning.
You do not have to take our word for it: OpenStreetMap lists it with currency:XBT=yes, payment:lightning=yes and payment:onchain=yes, checked 30 September 2026. Reading that entry — and knowing anyone may correct it — is a Bitcoin lesson on its own.
