194 sats \ 5 replies \ @BlokchainB 19 May \ on: Get Yourself To A Bitcoin Meet Up Soon bitcoin
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

  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.

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. ;)
