Matteo Pellegrini joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about the rebrand of Orange Pill App to Club Orange, the challenges of building a location-based social network for Bitcoiners, and how features like tap zaps, geo zaps, and group chats foster real-world connections. He explains the app's paywall to eliminate bots and spam, the evolution toward offline economy focus, and future plans like ticketing and merchant integration to close the loop for Bitcoin adoption. The discussion highlights Bitcoin's role in enabling voluntary, high-signal communities in a world of increasing AI slop and centralized control.
