Unfuck the Internet is strictly not a Bitcoin meetup. We intentionally avoid talking about Bitcoin directly. Instead, we offer a framework for evaluating everyday tech — to help people judge whether it’s built for freedom or not.
Most people who show up are privacy enthusiasts. And I’ve noticed something interesting: after hanging out with Bitcoiners at Unfuck, they often become more open to Bitcoin — not as "crypto," but as freedom tech.
I've been refining this framework for a while, and I think it's finally coming together.
