Props to you for taking the initiative! Hosting your first meetup is already a big win. 💪 For breaking the ice, sometimes a simple question like “How did you first hear about Bitcoin?” gets people talking naturally. You’d be surprised how different and fun the answers are. Encouraging convo? Maybe have a “Sats for a beer” mini-demo — peer-to-peer in action is a great convo starter. Let the flow happen, but having 2–3 light topics in your back pocket (like "What's your favorite lightning wallet?" or "Have you ever tried living purely on BTC?") can help steer things when it gets quiet. Most important: don’t make it feel like a classroom — you're there to vibe, not to preach. Cheers and good luck, Nittany! 🍕🍻 Wish I could drop by!
