As the old adage goes—The first rule of Bitcoin club is to always talk about Bitcoin. The second rule of Bitcoin club is to never talk about _your bitcoins_. ;)

1. Time is a problem I don't have an answer for, except to say it doesn't need to be complicated, and it's just one evening a month. 

2. Keep it simple to start. Just meet in a bar or restaurant.

3. The guy who started ours used the orange pill app to start, them we began to encourage our friends to attend. 

4. I understand OGs worried about giant bags, but people used to gather in bars for hundreds of years before the internet was invented (by Al Gore).  I used to drink in bars on Friday afternoons with my pay check in my pocket, in cash, before everyone carried plastic.  I think this fear of human contact is overblown. Cash was a hell of a lot easier than bitcoin for a mugger to gain access to. I'm not saying not to use sensible precautions.

I been thinking of starting a meet up for years but my anxiety gets the best of me. The reasons I talk my self out of it are as follows

I used to go to one near me but the organizer. (A college kid) left and since then no public social engagement.

But I definitely do miss meeting up with other Bitcoiners and nerding out on it

Get Yourself To A Bitcoin Meet Up Soon

I been thinking of starting a meet up for years but my anxiety gets the best of me. The reasons I talk my self out of it are as follows

1. **Time:** Working the Fiat mines and other life tasks makes it difficult to do it on the weekdays.

2. **Location:** Have no clue where to go? Should I pay or look for free venues?

3. **Advertising:** where do I post my meet up? Should I be focusing on a specific demographic?

4. **Privacy & Security:**  am I putting a target on my back by hosting s bitcoin meet up? 

I used to go to one near me but the organizer. (A college kid) left and since then no public social engagement. 

But I definitely do miss meeting up with other Bitcoiners and nerding out on it
