I've always thought Stroud would be prime for a local, circular bitcoin community. It's a little bit out there, different and independent, but then I spoke to a few people and they had already been green washed by the guardian, etc. And bitcoin is boiling oceans. But, yes, do agree. Wanting free markets and also caring about and investing / donating to your local community aren't mutually exclusive. I think small, independent and local is defo the best way forward and trying to live that ethos.
