that basically sounds like my experience on tinder

We have x in common, wanna grab a coffee or lunch?

......... silence.....

So I don’t know any bitcoiners IRL. What exactly do you do on meetups? Or is just, hey we have this thing in common let’s be friends?

Drink and talk shit about the government 🍻

Always!

Brainstorm hyper-bitcoinization, smoke weed.

I've gone to one meet up and the guy hosting it didn't own any bitcoin. Susssss, so I never go anymore.

😂 facts. Some of the sketch ones will try to social engineer / hack you as well. Happened to me more than once. Comical. Finding the right community that wants the best for you individually and as a group is key. Sadly, Rare

We should just make our own meet up nostr:npub1ualvtyga8hj6kgw9mwe72ns9pn6c8kd66qruv98eafeuawg7yt0shdwmqx

We can have it during happy hour at Hab.

Yea that’s a red flag. Unless he just didn’t want to admit to it for safety reasons

Maybe he was just very private. I'll give the benefit of the doubt.

That's exactly why I don't go to Bitcoin meetups. It's a weird catch-22. I want to talk to people IRL about Bitcoin... But I don't want anyone to know I have Bitcoin.

Same, was going to go to a meetup. Saw that it was co-opted by shitcoiners. Swallowed a small black pill

Damn shitcoiners!

Circle jerk of epic proportions creating a synergy that will fix the world.

my local meetup is pretty small but it's mostly just shit talking, drinking, and asking technical questions. lately we've been talking a lot about privacy and working through hypothetical scenarios

some of us have exchanged various ways to contact each other.
