Sure thing, I' be happy to connect your friend with the community here. We have meetups in every major city these days, and a major event that hops around the country every quarter. Next big one is in beautiful Queenstown on March 1. Easiest way to reach me on nostr (npub19zvj4ssnqjn8v37qq0ha76q22vf4venhkuxdw75ehszujqayjuqspdz3fd) or at the same handle @btcnautilus on X and Telegram.
