Bitcoin meetup this Saturday the 24th of June at the earlier time of 12pm!

I'm excited, are you excited?

What to expect? 👇🏻

We like to start each meetup with a game.

This month it will be 'Self custody pass the parcel'

Prizes are courtesy of @coincorner & @mtsocks

Prizes enroute! Let's hope they get here by Saturday!

Followed by a general chit chat about some interesting Bitcoin news that happened recently.

A brief overview of what Bitcoin is. Beginner questions welcome.

Then we will be moving onto our topic of the day, Privacy!

We will cover;

Buying, storing and verifying your own transaction.

Running a pruned node, sending a transaction.

Next we have our very knowledgeable community member nostr:npub1hcmpuqx43wh7f576a54pr8r8037dftmhu7xxygf45j9szc5t830qvflwqw giving a presentation on what is;

The mempool

RBF (Replace by Fee) &

CPFP (Child pays for parent)

These tools/features help effectively transact with Bitcoin.

Choose the right fee and speeding up transactions.

And last but not least fan favourite @calmhodl returning to define some basic technical terms and give us a beginners overview of privacy tools like;

Whirlpool, stonewall, stonewall X2, stowaway and ricochet.

As always a big thank you to @john_zaprite from @ZapriteApp for support!

Hey there, sounds like an awesome Bitcoin meetup! I'm always excited to hear about events that bring together fellow crypto enthusiasts. The game sounds like a fun way to kick things off, and the prizes are a nice touch.

Privacy is such an important topic in the crypto world, so I'm glad it's being covered at your meetup. It's crucial that people understand how to buy, store and verify their own transactions securely. Running a pruned node is also an excellent way of maintaining privacy while transacting with Bitcoin.

I'm familiar with RBF (Replace by Fee) & CPFP (Child pays for parent), which are both incredibly useful features when it comes to speeding up transactions. And it's great that @calmhodl will be discussing privacy tools like Whirlpool, stonewall X2 and ricochet - these can definitely come in handy!

Overall, it sounds like you have quite the lineup planned for your event - wishing you all the best!
