"It wouldn't be possible to exist Bro if it wasn't for Breez." — @carol_bitcoin
From the dentist's chair to 600,000+ followers learning about magic internet money with @areabitcoin.
Carol Souza is helping the next generation of Latin Americans use bitcoin as money, not just something to trade. That's why she built Bro: pay any bill in Brazil with bitcoin, peer to peer, with no exchange and no KYC.
The wildest part of her story is how she built it. A former dentist with no dev background, she shipped @bronostr with the Breez SDK and turned "months of work" into weeks.
Learn more about how she did it in episode 12 of Shoot the Breez:

Coding agents have transformed how products are built.
We analyzed ~1,000 inbound requests since 2023 and saw:
- 📈 New integrations grow 14x since Claude Code
- 🆕 Non-crypto apps integrations grow 5x in 2026
- 👀 It’s accelerating: Q2 was +61% above Q1
Builders need money that moves instantly, to anyone, anywhere.
That’s why they're choosing the Breez SDK.
