I decided in 2026 I will convince merchants and people of my village to discover and accept BTC.

The current plan is following:

1) Organize a Meetup #1 in our hall. First the basics, like What is money, Why is our money broken, How Bitcoin solves it, My journey, How to figure out own stacking strategy, What tools to use.

2a) Meetups would then continue just as a community hobby.

2b) Dedicated workshop with demonstration of setting up cold storage.

3) Onboarding individual merchants to lightning.

4) Assist merchants before/during/after large events like festivals.

5) The festival I already organize in July could serve as first whole BTC event.

6) Add other villages.

Do you have any tips? Have you tried something similar in your community? Am I missing something?

Would you suggest any specific tools? Why not to begin straight with #Cashu ? Is it smart to set up my own node for those purposes?
