I like the direction but it's a bit meh
How about "The never ending bitcoin meetup" or "On demand bitcoin meetup"?

"1000 songs in your pocket" vs "the never ending music player" vs "on demand music"
When we think of copy, we tend to think fantastical is better because of how we feel when we use fantastical words, but literal/concrete (and, yes, ideally profound) makes easier sense and an easier sell.
I'll give you that the tagline is literal in a boring way, but if we want to make it more interesting we:
  1. don't want to reduce the concreteness
  2. we want to use words that we would in normal conversation
We want to make the truth interesting without having to use words that we'd categorize as interesting by themselves.

I like "1000 songs in your pocket" because it's short, intriguing, and tangible.
I was trying to think of how to word a pitch that made SN sound like an all-night diner or all-you-can-eat buffet but I didn't come up with anything.
I don't like the "on a website" part because I don't think people prefer that (or want to prefer that) to IRL, so you're planting a dig in your own pitch. Just "24/7 bitcoin meetup" is better.

I agree but "on a website" grounds the metaphor hmmm

I think it's ok to leave that implied

I really like the 24/7 Bitcoin meetup on a website.
It sounds kinda simple and charming to me. It says what it is.
But if you think website makes it too long, what about
The 24/7 Bitcoin meetup with zaps
reply
If the goal is for it to be meaningful to non-bitcoiners, then you can't talk about zaps.
I think I'd even like "A 24/7 virtual Bitcoin meetup" more. It's really the "on a website" that feels like a turnoff.

I was on linkedin today and saw someone I know with their truncated bio of "Pioneering ______" and I puked in my mouth a little. I know I'm extra sensitive to this, but I don't think I'm wrong about how f'ing pat this stuff is.
