wrapping up an impactful week in Berlin, lead by @anke_g_liu ✨ started with a panel on privacy as part of @FundingCommons full day event, setting the week off with folks who are thinking carefully about the future of the internet. lead into the launch of @StellarEuropa, with big work by @DaniRoBo1 and the Ambassador team. this event featured a panel on the future of aid distribution, and highlighted the work of several partners to improve payment flows for Syrian hospital workers, a real use case for real people. we launched that into @onchaingrowth Summit through a panel on stablecoins and a workshop where participants were asked to design their own stablecoin solution. we're working on educating the world to dream bigger, build with intention, and solve real problems. it's an honor and a privilege.

today marks the launch of @StellarEuropa, and the expansion of the Ambassadors program into the German speaking regions. seeing the community grow and thrive around the world is a delight. everywhere @StellarOrg touches down, there is energy, excitement, innovation, and the want to solve real problems. we spent today learning how blockchain technology can serve real people by walking through how the German Government and UOSSM used blockchain payments to distribute €2M in salaries to Syrian healthcare workers, saving €400K annually (enough to open an entirely new hospital!) while bypassing traditional banking infrastructure destroyed by conflict. we met our people building in Europe, including @Bitbond and @bcpeth, among many others. we opened doors and had conversations that matter in a space that promotes innovation, @w3_hub. thank you to everyone who made this happen.
