Meetup #36 covered a wide range of topics. We opened with Neil Howe's Fourth Turning theory and how it frames today's monetary disorder, then explored the ongoing search for Satoshi Nakamoto's identity. We looked at Bitchat — a Bitcoin-native decentralized messaging protocol — and discussed how fiat monetary policy distorts investment decisions. We wrapped up with a short film from TIP_NZ examining the nature of reality through a Bitcoin lens.
The first 30 minutes were for socializing over pizza and drinks before working through a full evening of topics.
The Western Mass Bitcoin Meetup is on a mission to find and connect bitcoiners in the area and has been growing quickly. We are interested in spreading education, increasing local merchant adoption and hanging out with bitcoiners. We meet once a month and all are welcome to come and talk bitcoin.
If you are new, we have members who can help you level up your knowledge related to self-custody, lightning, mining and many other areas.
