      <title>There is no Secret Ingredient w/Curtis &amp; Leo: Vancouver, BC | Ep. 036</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Curtis and Leo of Vancouver BitDevs join us for the last of our three Vancouver episodes, covering the Bitdevs Socratic seminars at Funk Coffee, the Node Academy workshops, and the old vending machines at the DCTRL hackerspace that they’ve rewired to take Lightning and now stock with SeedSigners and local art. They explain how Vancouver’s meetup culture grew from just two meetups in 2022 to Bitcoiners being “everywhere all the time”: CoinOS merchant bounties, the city’s density, a meetup bar that went Bitcoin-only, and organizers who keep hosting cheap and easy. We also talk about food bank volunteer days, book clubs, the annual Bitcoin Block Party, and heating with miners, and Curtis and Leo say the city has no secret ingredient: people just showed up and did stuff.         &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Bitcoin is Secret Knowledge w/James: Chilliwack, BC | Ep. 035</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;James, who organizes the Chilliwack meetup in BC’s Fraser Valley, explains how Peter McCormack’s meetups at Bedford in England inspired him to start an education-focused meetup two hours outside Vancouver, going from a loud pub to a rented room at the curling club to a cafe that accepts Bitcoin. The three of them talk about how closely attendance has followed the price, why keeping the meetup going through the bear (“holding the door open”) is worth $100 a month, and why Bitcoin and D&amp;D attract so many of the same people who like the idea of having secret knowledge. In the value for value segment, Rev and Reed ask for listener feedback on new website features like a live chat and voice-note boosts, explain how to heat a greenhouse with a miner, and ask whether Bitcoin culture has hit bottom.        &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>VanCity Inflation Mints Meetups w/Kurtis and Fustler: Vancouver, BC | Ep. 034</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Rev and Reed head to the Pacific Northwest for the first of several Vancouver episodes, sitting down with Fustler and Kurtis of BTC Vancity to hear how a meetup that hoped for ten people drew sixty-plus on day one and now lives at Kurtis’s Funk Coffee Bar. They dig into why Vancouver became such a Bitcoin hub, from decades of housing inflation and the trucker convoy to CoinOS onboarding more than 200 local merchants, the 100%-Bitcoin Block Party, and the night then-mayor Ken Sim called the meetup to rally speakers at City Hall. In the value-for-value segment, the hosts read boosts on value-for-value music, AI content on nostr and why the boosts, not the download numbers, are the signal that matters.       &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>The Succession of Bitcoin Culture | Ep. 033</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;With no guest this week, Reed and Rev look back on the four-episode Pennsylvania series and the themes that kept coming up: Bitcoin culture shifting from revolution to renaissance, and toxic maximalism giving way to cooperation and curiosity. They talk about home mining, including Reed’s new S19J Pros, solar-powered heating math, and why a miner is most useful when you give it a real job. They also take an honest look at the tired state of Bitcoin culture after a summer of hacks and disclosures, then mark Episode 33 with a 33k-sat wheel spin that sent more sats to the Samurai developers from a featured podcast episode on the Ungovernables feed “Letter #7: Notes from the Inside.”      &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>The Death Throes of Toxic Maximalism w/Johnny: Pittsburgh PA | Ep. 032</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Johnny Crypto of Three Rivers Bitcoin joins us to talk about running a meetup built for newcomers in Pittsburgh, a city where Bitcoiners are spread out and easy to lose touch with. The conversation turns to toxicity in Bitcoin’s culture: purity tests, meme-armor that turns newcomers away, and why being principled doesn’t require being an asshole. We also cover Johnny’s takeaways from Lauren Rodriguez’s visit to Pittsburgh BitDevs, why the community needs a funded, organized response the next time privacy developers are prosecuted, and a big round of boosts in the V4V section.     &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Curiosity Freed the Cat w/Business Cat: Central PA | Ep. 031</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Business Cat (Luke) of the Central Pennsylvania Bitcoiners joins us to talk about his monthly Bitplebs meetup, how he claimed the whole center of the state back in 2021, and how a region steeped in Amish and Mennonite parallel economics is producing Bitcoin plumbers, farmers, and tree guys. With home heating oil up sharply, we trade notes on heating with Bitcoin miners, from a basement S9 to plumbing a Whatsminer straight into the HVAC system, and why being a Bitcoin maximalist increasingly means becoming a polymath who learns faster alongside the plebs at your local meetup. We also get into podcasting as a cure for shrinking attention spans, Rock Paper Bitcoin and the 49th Parallel, the Book of Enoch, sassafras root beer, and why the most important meme may simply be "stay curious."      &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>You Can Just Do Things w/Average Gary: Middletown, VA | Ep. 030</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Rev and Reed sit down with Average Gary, organizer of the Shenandoah Bitcoin Club, to talk about why he moved his meetup to a low-pressure Saturday "Bitcoin brunch," how consistency built it into a community anchor, and what it means to become the local "Bitcoin guy." Gary also explains how Bitcoin Veterans works as a leaderless, veteran-led network with just two rules (no violence, no shitcoins), and why veterans are well positioned to push the mission forward. The conversation then turns to mining: Gary's work on rotating Coinbase payouts, eHash, and paying into Ark, plus a thought experiment on hyper-local mining pools and zero-fee community blocks, before the crew wraps up with the V4V leaderboards and boosts.     &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Cooking Up Community at Nostr Valley w/Seth: State College, PA | Ep. 029</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Seth joins Rev and Reed to talk about Nostr Valley, the annual Central Pennsylvania gathering he and Derek Ross have grown from a patched-together first year at Happy Valley Brewing into a free three-day event returning October 17th, plus Zap Cooking, the Nostr recipe platform he built around food as the base layer of culture. The conversation works through why hodl culture sent the wrong message, why a Nostr meetup is a Bitcoin meetup, and how remixing open source code is the same move as remixing your grandmother's pickle recipe. Rev ties it back to the nine forms of capital: when you spend financial capital to get people in a room, what comes back is trust, friendship, and collaboration you could never have bought.    &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Reducing Friction and Increasing Velocity builds Culture | Ep. 028</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Rev and Reed kick off their new cadence of three themed guest episodes followed by a two-host recap. The episode begins with meetup adventure stories from a locked-out South Bend meetup and the four-year (full halving cycle) anniversary of The Western Mass Bitcoin Meetup, plus a look back at what the BitDevs trilogy taught them about cold storage, Fedimint, and Payjoin. From there the conversation turns to what value for value actually measures: velocity as the number of participants times their frequency of interaction, the surprising finding that the biggest zappers on Nostr often send out more than what they take in, and what that says about converting financial capital into social, cultural, intellectual, and experiential capital. The back half applies the permaculture lens of succession to meetup building and a walkthrough of the OnlyBoosts ranking that scores episodes on sats, boosts, and boosters rather than sats alone.  &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Quiet on Quantum Loud on Privacy w/Satsie and Armin: Boston, MA | Ep. 027</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Reed and Rev sit down with Satsie and Armin of Boston BitDevs, who trace the meetup's four-year run at Fidelity and MIT and its unusually cryptographer-heavy crowd, including their ten-minute "quantum rule" for reining in the room's favorite recurring tangent. The conversation goes technical, unpacking PayJoin's promise and pitfalls, wallet fingerprinting, Armin's in-progress Fungi protocol, and how AI-assisted "vibe coding" is reshaping (and sometimes frustrating) open-source contribution and mentorship. The back half runs through Local Bitcoiners' V4V leaderboards, thirty listener boosts, several featured meetups, and this week's 21K sat giveaway.  &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Fedimint Socratic Seminar w/Justin: Minneapolis, MN | Ep. 026</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Justin, organizer of BitDevs Minneapolis and a Fedimint protocol developer, joins us to talk about what a BitDevs meetup is actually for: furthering the community's understanding of Bitcoin without going so deep into the protocol stack that the impact stops landing. From there we go Socratic on Fedimint itself: guardians, gateways, and users as three distinct roles; how eCash notes are backed by an on-chain multisig; why the Lightning gateway is just a special client running a swap service; and what happens when a mint winds down. We close on FROST and ROAST, signing Nostr events with a federation, and why choosing guardians is a social problem more than a technical one; which makes a local meetup, with its built-in reputation and proof of work, a natural place to try it. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Bitdevs are Bitcoin Meetups w/Shinobi: Chicago, IL | Ep. 025</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Rev and Reed welcome Shinobi, co-organizer of the Chicago BitDevs, for a deep dive into what makes BitDevs meetups distinct from other Bitcoin gatherings — their Socratic, technical format, and the tension between serving highly technical attendees versus newer members trying to learn. The conversation moves into hands-on UTXO management, multisig cold storage best practices (physical backups over digital), and a sober take on privacy tools like PayJoin, CoinJoin, ARC, and Spark. The episode wraps with the usual value-for-value boost segment, highlighting community topics and events and reading the boosts!   &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Meetups Decentralize Bitcoin Culture | Ep. 024</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Rev and Reed reconnect after a heavy few weeks in Bitcoin, opening with meetup updates and Rev's recap of Lake Satoshi, before diving into the fallout from the Coldcard hardware wallet vulnerability that cost some community members their savings. The hosts unpack how centralized hardware wallet hype spread through podcast sponsorships and Twitter and became an attack vector, and argue that decentralized, meetup-based knowledge-sharing is the better defense going forward. They close with Local Bitcoiners Leaderboards and an extended Boosts segment, including a lump-sum donation of episode proceeds to the Samurai Wallet developers.    &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Michigan Meetup Roundtable w/Buffalo: Grand Rapids, MI | Ep. 023</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This episode features Buffalo, who got inspired to run a meetup at Lake Satoshi and revived the Grand Rapids' social meetup at Two Guys Brewing in Wyoming, Michigan. Buffalo talks orange-pilling his family and local businesses, building a circular economy through spend-and-replace, and his plans for a "White Paper Day" regional meetup in November. Post-interview, Reed and Rev debuted a brand-new Community Roundtable, recorded live over Corny Chat with Michigan organizers Jackie, Matthew D, Bruce, and Diesel. Together they trade meetup origin stories, reflect on the friendships and trust that make meetups irreplaceable infrastructure (including a heavy reminder of why local trust matters), and make the case that Michigan has some of the strongest meetup culture around.    &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Getting Lucky with Meetups w/Jacob: Indianapolis, IN | Ep. 022</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Jacob from the Indy Bitcoin Meetup joins Rev and Reed to trace a five-year run built on one thing above all - consistency, the third Wednesday of every month without a single miss - and a running joke that all their good fortune is just "getting lucky." Along the way the meetup has birthed a mining company (Megawatt), put 75+ home nodes into the wild, spun off a Lightning Social night, and cultivated a genuine local economy of buying, selling, and proof-of-work reputation-building. In an extended second half, Rev and Reed swap the usual V4V boosts segment for a workshop on the community-building tools behind &lt;a href="http://localbitcoiners.com"&gt;localbitcoiners.com&lt;/a&gt; which uses Nostr identities, follow packs, and community feeds to demarcate a culture and turn a podcast audience into a real nostr community. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>The Great Lakes Megalopolis w/Matthew D: Ann Arbor, MI | Ep. 021</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Matthew D has been boosting Local Bitcoiners since episode one, and this week he finally joins Rev and Reed to represent Michigan Bitcoin culture.  We discuss his meetup journey from his first meetup at a downtown Ann Arbor brewery, where talking Bitcoin with a Ben Franklin lookalike in front of a brick wall felt like sitting in a revolutionary tavern, to the dozen-odd meetups now scattered from Blue Water to Grand Rapids. A forester by trade who came to sound money by way of local food, Matthew explains how quitting seed oils turned into White Paper Street Soap: a beef tallow bar he sells for sats at meetups, and a practical answer to the question of what an ordinary person can actually contribute to a circular economy. The conversation digs into why consumables are the bridge from store of value to medium of exchange, how Lake Satoshi has become the glue binding Michigan's meetup cultures together, and why a state with no single center may have accidentally built one of the best circular economies in the world.   &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Chicago Bitcoin Collective w/Jon, Brady &amp; Foise: Chicago, IL | Ep. 020</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Chicago Bitcoin Collective co-founders Jon, Brady, and Foise join the show to tell the story of buying a building in Portage Park and turning it into Fork &amp; Coin - a Bitcoin-only restaurant and American izakaya downstairs, with a members' clubhouse and co-working space upstairs. They get into the DIY renovation, a tiered membership model that runs from co-working up to 24/7 builder access, Bitcoin-sourced ingredients and tallow-fried food, and how stacking a restaurant, a clubhouse, and a circular economy into one hub is what makes the whole thing sustainable — even in a bear market. The episode closes on their September Value for Value Summit, where sat-streamed live music, a Bitcoin bodega, and Freedom Tech workshops will put the meetup layer's economics on full display.   &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Recording the Revolution w/Shannon: Columbus, OH | Ep. 019</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Shannon of Columbus Bitcoin joins Rev and Reed to trace how a casual Twitter happy hour grew into a six-year-old meetup with roughly eighty regulars, quarterly "mini conference" events, and a River partnership. The conversation digs into recording speaker talks for YouTube and X and the tricky balance between promoting a meetup with good media while respecting attendee privacy, which Rev frames as documenting the Bitcoin revolution for the historical record. Shannon also previews the two-day Midwest Bitcoin Summit and its overlap with a cannabis and health conference, then shares hard-won organizer advice: stay consistent, make it fun, and step outside the echo chamber to reach the pre-coiners.  &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Upping Your Meetup Game w/Steve, Scott &amp; Tali: Louisville, KY | Ep. 018</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Reed and Rev sit down with Steve, Scott, and Tali of the Louisville Bitcoin Network to wrestle with a question every organizer eventually hits: is your meetup for spreading Bitcoin to newcomers, or for building deep relationships among the Bitcoiners you already have? The conversation moves through the technical-versus-social tension of a bit devs format, the struggle to draw in women and non-technical attendees, and Scott's philosophy of designing Bitcoin tabletop games like HODL UP as low-friction on-ramps. Tali's takeaway anchors it all: pick your mission, stop apologizing for the one you didn't choose, and the right people will show up. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>The Subjective Value of Meetups w/Clay Seal: Cincinnati, OH | Ep. 017</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode, Clay, organizer of Cincinnati Bitcoin and a first-time podcast guest, traces his path from bingeing Austrian economics in 2015 to buying his first Bitcoin in 2020 and not discovering meetups until 2023. Clay is a self-described "lonely Bitcoiner" who organically stepped up to organize. He walks through the group's twice-monthly cadence (content Wednesdays, social Thursdays), its small-but-faithful "polyculture" core group building real-world projects, and why consistency is what holds the door open for the silent Bitcoiners still out there. The conversation then digs into Clay's real passion, Bitcoin as applied Austrian economics, covering subjective value, marginal utility, and time preference before opening into a spirited exchange on saving versus spending, velocity, and the local circular economy. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Parallel Systems for Silent Bitcoiners w/Bit_ish: Cleveland, OH | Ep. 016</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Bit&lt;em&gt;ish of Cleveland Bitcoin joins Rev and Reed to trace how a near-dead meetup became a thriving, multi-chapter community with a "reseller" circular economy - splitting bulk orders from Bitcoiner vendors across the country so sats keep flowing locally. The conversation opens up into parallel systems and the permaculture principle of integrating rather than segregating: linking meetups, Nostr, V4V music, and cross-country trade routes into one reinforcing economy. Along the way they get into Discord trust tiers, the coming Midwest Bitcoin Summit, payment splits and keysend, and Bit&lt;/em&gt;ish's Hash Power Music work bringing independent artists onto value-for-value rails. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Privacy is Sovereignty w/Btcwrestle: Columbia, SC | Ep. 015</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Btcwrestle hosts the Columbia, South Carolina Bitcoin meetup and joins Rev and Reed to talk through his upcoming privacy workshop and his "take one thing away at a time" philosophy for getting Bitcoiners more private. The conversation digs into no-KYC sats, breaking transaction links with Whirlpool, UTXO management, running your own node, and why he steers clear of KYC exchanges entirely. They also map out the dream of stitching South Carolina and the broader Southeast meetups into a regional parallel economy. BTCWrestle dedicates his podcast boost split to the Samurai developers; find out more at &lt;a href="http://billandkeonne.org"&gt;billandkeonne.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Permaculture for Bitcoin Culture w/Sourcenode: Greenville, SC | Ep. 014</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;SourceNode joins Rev and Reed from Greenville, South Carolina to talk about hosting his meetup at Steak and Shake and the budding regional network forming across South Carolina, Charlotte, Asheville, and Atlanta. The conversation winds through Captain Sid's Thailand Ride of Passage motorcycle trips, Bitcoin as a psychoactive software with parallels to psychedelics, and nonviolent communication as a tool for navigating shitcoiner conflicts and the role of meetup organizer as guide. SourceNode, Rev, and Reed close out on permaculture principles, the Nostr ethos versus Twitter dysfunction, and why the cultural-social layer is what carries Bitcoin the extra mile. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Big Upsides, Small Risks: The Value of Bitcoin Meetups | Ep. 013</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Rev and Reed go guestless for a deep-dive into the mechanics of Bitcoin meetup culture, tackling circular economies (and the unsolved problem of creating payment splits on physical goods), "proof of reputation" as the social capital that makes local communities trustworthy, and a frank breakdown of OPSEC and wrench-attack risk that argues the upside of showing up vastly outweighs the low-probability downside. Rev then walks through his exact playbook for selling Bitcoin for cash at a meetup. The episode closes with an extended V4V segment covering the leaderboards, boosts, new &lt;a href="http://localbitcoiners.com"&gt;localbitcoiners.com&lt;/a&gt; features, and shout-outs to a cohort of Nostr-native podcasts (YATA, The 49th Parallel &amp; The Open Markets Podcast) building alongside the show.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Leveraging Social Capital in Charlotte &amp; Peru: Charlotte, NC | Ep. 012</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Jhonny Delgado joins Reed and Rev to trace his path from lonely Bitcoiner in New York to organizer of Bitcoin Charlotte, Orange Pill Peru, and Motiv Peru - a journey that started with a chance conversation in a mushroom costume at a Burning Man-style party. ⁨Jhonny breaks down how Charlotte's Bitcoin-only culture (rooted in a meetup running since 2013) gave him the template to seed scenes elsewhere, and how Delgado's Fuego hot sauce plus Rocoto, the gold-chained alpaca, became his most reliable orange-pilling tools at markets, conferences, and the Bitcoin Bazaar in Vegas. The conversation touches on the upcoming Local Block Market in Charlotte and the Bitcoin in Espanol event coming up at PubKey in NYC. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7/11 Bitcoin en Español event at Pubkey NYC: &lt;a href="https://www.satlantis.io/events/1663/bitcoin-en-espanol"&gt;https://www.satlantis.io/events/1663/bitcoin-en-espanol&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Attendee to Organizer to Conference Host: Portland, OR | Ep. 011</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Eric from Portland, Oregon joins Rev and Reed to talk about running six monthly Bitcoin meetups across the city and building Bitcoin Is For Everyone, the largest Bitcoin conference on the West Coast, from a nonprofit angle in one of the most crypto-skeptical regions in the country. He shares how the 501c3 structure creates cognitive disconnect for skeptics, why proof-of-work before sponsorships matters, and how a single politician's visit to the conference turned into a stage appearance the following year. Rev recaps Bitcoin Community College in Michigan, Reed teases a Connecticut meetup trip, and the V4V segment discusses the booster leaderboards.  &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Evolution &amp; Development of a Meetup: Niagara Canada | Ep. 010</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Rev and Reed welcome Shaun from the Niagara Bitcoin Meetup (Ontario, Canada) for a wide-ranging conversation on building Bitcoin culture across the border, from his first underground, mask-defying meetup at a Tahini's during pandemic lockdowns to nearly four years of monthly gatherings in Niagara Falls. Shaun shares his journey running a community-rooted meetup, his work teaching Bitcoin to at-risk youth using the Mi Primer Bitcoin curriculum, and standout merchant adoption wins like the night an entire group paid for ice cream and burgers in lightning sats. Rev also previews the inaugural "Bitcoin Community College" hands-on weekend in Michigan, and Reed announces plans to fork the KCBitcoiners' &lt;a href="https://github.com/KC-Bitcoiners/bodarc"&gt;Bodarc&lt;/a&gt; tool for the Western Mass site. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Growing Slow Builds Strong Communities: KC Bitcoiners | Ep. 009</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Reed and Rev are joined by Spencer of KC Bitcoiners and the Bowl After Bowl podcast to dig into value-for-value as a sustainable foundation for both Bitcoin meetups and the podcasts that orbit them. Spencer makes the case that consistency must be balanced with variety, that gamification and small-but-frequent participation matter more than chasing big-name adoption, and that cultural capital is what builds gravity over time. Along the way Reed shares his plan for a Nostr onboarding workshop to power his meetup's circular economy, and Spencer floats a kids-eat-free family meetup as a way to reach the generation that will actually carry the baton.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Making Meetups Fun &amp; Sustainable: Bitcoin Bay | Ep. 008</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Reed and Rev sit down with Liz and Wesley of Bitcoin Bay to talk about building a circular economy across the Tampa / St. Pete area, turning a local meetup into a full-blown 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and why designing events around locals, nomads, and non-Bitcoiner spouses can transform the gravity of a local scene. Liz shares how throwing creative events like Hodlween and Bitcoin Rocks pulls in people who'd never walk into a bar meetup, while Wesley breaks down the benefits and challenges of going nonprofit and why organizers shouldn't be shy about charging for workshops. The conversation closes with takeaways on sustainability, not reinventing the wheel, and a long boost readouts testing the new valuechain workflow between Fountain, nostr, and the boost bot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bitcoin Bay was the first bitcoin meetup to incorporate as a 501(c)3 and is one of the longest continuously running Bitcoin meetups in the US. Their website is &lt;a href="https://www.bitcoinbay.foundation/"&gt;https://www.bitcoinbay.foundation/&lt;/a&gt; and people can build their own meetup website following their template here &lt;a href="https://github.com/bitcoinbayfoundation/open-meetup"&gt;https://github.com/bitcoinbayfoundation/open-meetup&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>How Meetups can Benefit from V4V, Nostr and Valuechains | Ep. 007</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Reed and Rev share meetup updates including Western Mass Bitcoin's successful first night at their new venue and the birth of a brand new meetup in Middletown, Connecticut before diving deep into Nostr as critical infrastructure for local Bitcoin communities. They make the case that posting meetup events on Nostr is a simple action that broadcasts to every Nostr-compatible event app simultaneously, cutting through the walled-garden fragmentation of &lt;a href="http://Meetup.com"&gt;Meetup.com&lt;/a&gt;, Luma, and Satlantis. The conversation then turns to the value-for-value leaderboard Reed built using his lightning node data, and how gamification, boosts, and zap-based reputation mechanics can surface high-signal Bitcoin content and create a self-reinforcing value chain.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Grassroots Recap: Philly Suburbs &amp; Bitcoin Park Nashville | Ep. 006</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Episode 006 brings together Reed, Rev, Fundamentals from the Philly Suburbs Meetup, and Andrew from Bitcoin Park in Nashville for a recap of the annual Grassroots Bitcoin event. The crew digs into the nitty-gritty of running local meetups; the perennial challenge of finding the right venue, strategies for attracting newcomers, gathering attendee feedback, and handling shitcoiner attendees. Andrew pulls back the curtain on how Bitcoin Park operates as dedicated Bitcoin infrastructure, and the whole conversation shows how the real work of Bitcoin adoption is happening at the local level, one meetup at a time.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>The Meetup Is the Farmer's Market: Kansas City, MO | Ep. 005</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Reed and Rev chat with Auggie from the Kansas City, MO Bitcoin Meetup to dig into what a thriving circular economy looks like in practice; from Auggie's farm goods making their way to meetup tables, to collaborative sourcing of feed, raw milk, honey, and more. The conversation expands into cross-pollinating meetup cultures and scaling peer-to-peer trade beyond the local level. Meetups grow around open protocols, bitcoin fixed the money, and we believe that nostr may just be the coordination layer that could unify the decentralized mesh of bitcoin meetups.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Cypherpunks Write Code: AI, Meetups &amp; the Meshtadel | Ep. 004</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Rev and Reed share stories from their recent Bitcoin meetups and dig into how AI is rapidly becoming part of the Bitcoin culture conversation — from vibe coding to the tools bitcoiners are using to build and connect. The episode explores the "meshtadel" concept, a decentralized mesh of local Bitcoin meetups that together form a resilient, sovereign network no single point of failure can take down. The takeaway is simple: use the tools available to you, grow your local community, and recognize that hyperbitcoinization starts in your own backyard.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Meetups &amp; Podcasts are the Signal: Ottawa, CA | Ep. 003</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode, Reed and Rev sit down with Cory (a.k.a Boomer), the organizer of the Ottawa Bitcoin meetup: Capital Bitcoiners. The conversation covers the state of local meetup culture during a bear market, including encouraging stories of recent surges in turnout and enthusiasm at their respective meetups. Cory also gives a behind-the-scenes look at how he structures Ottawa's two monthly events, Bitcoin Basics for newcomers and Bitcoin Builders for developers and veterans, and makes the case for why showing up, rain or shine, is what keeps the Bitcoin community strong.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Meetups are the Ultimate Web of Trust: Jersey City, NJ | Ep. 002</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Reed and Rev Hodl interview GC and James from the Jersey City Bitcoin Meetup, exploring how the group evolved from casual bar gatherings to structured Socratic seminars. In our in-depth conversation, we delved into meetup security, OPSEC best practices, strategies for defending against scammers, and why meetups represent the ultimate web of trust - especially as we head into a future where trust will come at a premium. Other topics included decentralized leadership, finding affordable venues, and fostering economic collaborations among attendees.&lt;/p&gt;
