Шест поредни месеца на спадове. Рекорд. А март най-после затвори на зелено. Видяхме ли дъното? На фона на геополитическо напрежение, несигурност и пазар, който дълго време изглеждаше изтощен, Bitcoin все пак завърши март нагоре. Дали това е знак, че дъното вече е зад нас? Или просто кратка пауза преди следващото движение? На следващия Sofia Crypto Meetup ще се фокусираме основно върху Bitcoin и големия въпрос: Видяхме ли вече най-ниските нива в този цикъл? Ще обсъдим: Какво означават шестте поредни месеца на спад и защо март е толкова важен сигнал за пазара? Кои други проекти имат шанс не просто да целеят, а да излязат по-силни от този период? Фокусът ще бъде върху това кои сигнали наистина имат значение и кои проекти могат да преминат през трудния период с реални шансове за следващия етап на пазара. Без излишен шум, без магически прогнози, само добър разговор, смислен анализ и достатъчно време за въпроси и дискусия. Елате, за да обсъдим дъното заедно... И за да можете един ден да кажете: I survived the bottom!

## **Fashion and Nigeria** **What can Europe learn from Nigerian culture and fashion?** *** Fashion designer and personal stylist **Boryana Vatova** traveled to Nigeria in 2018 and stayed there until 2020. The reason – an invitation to teach fashion at the *Learn and Work* academy, where she later became Head of the Design Department. Boryana shares: *"When I moved to Nigeria, I realized how different the culture is from the European one. At first, it was difficult for me to find the right way to communicate. That’s when I started studying human nature more deeply and understood that if you approach people with genuine interest and respect, cultural differences become a bridge rather than a barrier. Gradually, I built a very strong connection with my students and the people there. They accepted me deeply and authentically, which was a great gift for me. Nigeria taught me to notice the small things, to be grateful, and to value human connection above all else."* On April 26th, we invite you to a first-hand story with both professional and personal perspectives. Through many photos, videos, and engaging stories, we will explore the following topics: • The *Learn and Work* Academy and the educational model between Italy and Nigeria • The students – their ambition and attitude toward knowledge and fashion • Nigerian fashion energy – colors, silhouettes, textiles, symbolism • Cultural identity as the foundation of style • How elements of African aesthetics can be integrated into the European fashion context The idea is to show that cultural exchange is not one-way – it is a dialogue. At the end of the talk, you will have the opportunity to ask your questions to Boryana Vatova about her experience in Nigeria, its culture, and of course – her work in fashion. 📅 **Date:** April 29, 2026 ⏰ **Time:** 20:30 – 22:30 🍷 A complimentary drink is included in a cozy atmosphere. 🎟️ **Participation fee:** €15 Please contact us to reserve your spot. 📍 **Location:** AfriKaya Studio, Lozenets district, 56–58 Krum Popov St., 3rd floor *** **More about Boryana Vatova:** My name is Boryana Vatova and I am a fashion designer and personal stylist. Between 2018 and 2020, I lived and worked in Nigeria, where I taught fashion at the private *Learn and Work* academy – an institution based on an Italian-Nigerian partnership. I later became Head of the Design Department. This experience changed not only my professional path but also the way I communicate and build relationships with people. Nigeria taught me gratitude for the small things and deep respect for cultural identity. Today, this is reflected in my work – I build strong personal connections with the people I work with and believe that fashion is a bridge between cultures. 🌐 Website: [Boryana Vatova Official Website](https://www.boriannavatova.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Join us as we get together to see your choice of two VERY different movies – one sweet and wholesome – the other a terrifying folklore horror! Option 1 is the fun whodunnit-action-comedy-mystery led by Hugh Jackman, THE SHEEP DETECTIVES! Option 2 is the top-reviewed supernatural-horror-thriller starring Adam Scott, HOKUM! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES: Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The film is directed by Kyle Balda and take a look at this ensemble cast: Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau and Emma Thompson and the voices of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O'Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Brett Goldstein and Rhys Darby. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk HOKUM: In this film, a horror writer visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch. It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet inside the theater lobby about 20 minutes before showtime. If the showtimes work out, we’ll try to get both groups together for a bite before the shows! Complete details and showtime will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events! Should be another good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan

Park on Main St, near the Rusty Bucket, or in the lot near Brassica and your car will be close by at the end of the night! Should be a fun one, Dan

A very unusual choice for his group... Unknown Number: High School Catfish is an American [true crime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_crime "True crime") documentary film directed by [Skye Borgman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skye_Borgman "Skye Borgman") and released to [streaming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media "Streaming media") on [Netflix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix "Netflix") on August 29, 2025. The documentary explores the events and investigation into an unknown person [cyberbully](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberbullying "Cyberbullying") and [harassing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harassment "Harassment") teenagers in [Beal City, Michigan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beal_City,_Michigan "Beal City, Michigan") using an unknown number via insults and sexual claims. It also explores the increasingly great impact of the harassment on the community, the eventual reveal of the culprit, and the trial that followed. IMPORTANT INFO: I strongly suggest not reading anything about it online before seeing it. It's best viewed with no previous knowledge. This documentary contains crude terminology and deals with cyberbullying, which may be a trigger for some folks. PLEASE NOTE - WE ARE STARTING AT 6:30, WHICH IS THIRTY MINUTES EARLIER THAN USUAL. Unfortunately, it is only available on Netflix. If you would like to attend but do not have Netflix, say so and maybe we can figure something out.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
