Definitely leans more toward current state of things, less future oriented. It would be an interesting concept to focus more on what Bitcoin could be in the future.

It does come up, in the context of some new tool or development, but rarely is the meeting positioned around what the envisioned state might be.

I used to frequent a FOSS meetup a while back where we'd cover events, then a short talk / presentation / AMA and then the final round before networking time was: what are you working on? This made the socializing part much more forward looking.

I like the idea of a time for what are you working on. Currently the socializing time is mostly at the beginning of the meetup, this seems to make it more less about what people are working on and more about easy chit-chat.

Right. Pre-meetup socializing is to get comfortable, this is important too, especially if you have newcomers. Post-meetup socializing is for bonding. Can even just reserve 10 minutes or so for it if your participants are on a tight schedule. But it's good to have some time (and still have the space) to linger - or go for a pizza.
