I put flyers up on local bulletin boards, texted all of the people on my “patriots” contact list locally, and reached out to a local freedom cell type organization today, for my first attempt at getting a local Bitcoin meetup going.

Even if I meet ONE other Bitcoiner in my area, it will be worth it. I feel like I am Tom Hanks living on an island with Wilson most days when it comes to people that are interested in sound money.

I’ve started a simple, informative Bitcoin website, developed a curriculum for assisting people in their journey, and at least it’s been a fun exercise.

I’m not looking to orange pill the world. I just want to attract anyone that has even a remote interest in freedom money. And help them along the way. Maybe there’s someone in my community that I don’t know, that is already a maxi.

I also stopped in at the local farmers market today and talked to a few vendors about bitcoin and showed them how easy it is to get set up with a Lightning wallet.

I met a local Hutterite farmer and established a connection for buying beef, pork, eggs and chicken without going to the supermarket.

I’m not expecting much of a response to this initial stab at getting a local Bitcoin meetup started. It’s just such a small town of less than 3000. I’ll be shocked if I get a single RSVP. But I had to do something to test the waters.

If not me, then who?

All I have to say based on my conversations today is “holy shit, we are early.”

I hope I inspire a bit of local interest and can funnel some people over to, IMO the best money, and the best exchange on the block right now, Bitcoin Well nostr:npub19mf4jm44umnup4he4cdqrjk3us966qhdnc3zrlpjx93y4x95e3uq9qkfu2 nostr:npub1k763esjjzm2vzz7gtt38q4wf49zlua72l4rreu3myzghuwwwdqtq2mcg5x
