You Should Go To A Meet Up

I've talked with lots of people about going to meet ups and they always seemed mystified about how and why to do it. HOW: Google "bitcoin meet up in [your metropolitan area]." Find out the time and place of the meet up. Show up to the meet up on time or even a little late. You can get there using any means you would like. I recommend riding a donkey or camel, but it is also acceptable to drive a car, ride a bus, or walk. Make new friends and acquaintances and don't act like a jerk. Bring snacks for bonus points. WHY: You can expand your diversity of lightning channels. You can buy bitcoin with cash without the government spying on you. You can sell bitcoin for cash without the government spying on you. You can buy or sell your stuff for bitcoin. You can ask all sorts of silly or intelligent questions. You can get out of the house. You can explain your grand bitcoin theory and a real human being will listen. You can listen to someone explain his grand bitcoin theory and make a new friend. You can eat or even bring snacks. You can laugh at someone telling a really sad story thinking that it was actually a joke when it was real. (I won't do that again). You can meet someone who mined in 2010 and still hasn't figured out where all of her hard-drives are. You can see if you can get test net bitcoin. You can find a podcast partner. You can make fun of altcoins and someone will get the joke. You can compare orange-pilling notes. Networking is awesome. submitted by /u/extrastone [link] [comments]
