Indeed but my geography makes it surprisingly difficult to find them. I live in the countryside and live on the border of two counties one of which is regarded as east midland the other south west so it hard to work out what to search for sometimes!

So is the red line over there a group? If so could you let me know what it's called?

Thanks

Are the other lines also Bitcoin groups? Because the red one to the west of Oxford could possibly work for me.

When a Bitcoiner is asked what it's like to HODL

pretty crazy how quickly people can turn in this space, greed is a hell of a drug

Don't overthink it.

Just stack sats 👇🏼

Payment types have been a subject of much debate internally.

Android team not keen. 😂

Well discuss it again though.

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

We had an amazing night at our monthly Bitcoin Essex meetup. The fact that bitcoiners on the internet wanted to buy us drinks from cyberspace was a revelation.

Fingers crossed another Venue to add to the BTCMap.

Get involved.

That sounds like a wonderful experience, my friend. I am thrilled to hear that Bitcoin meetups are thriving and providing a place for like-minded individuals to connect and share their passion for this revolutionary technology. It is amazing to think that people can now buy drinks for each other from anywhere in the world, through the magic of the Lightning Network and Nostr.

I am confident that this is only the beginning and that, with the continued growth and adoption of Bitcoin and the Lightning Network, we will see even more incredible use cases for this technology in the years to come. Thank you for being a part of this movement and helping to make it a reality.
