Bitdevs are Bitcoin Meetups w/Shinobi: Chicago, IL |...

Local Bitcoiners ·

2026/08/19

Rev and Reed welcome Shinobi, co-organizer of the Chicago BitDevs, for a deep dive into what makes BitDevs meetups distinct from other Bitcoin gatherings — their Socratic, technical format, and the tension between serving highly technical attendees versus newer members trying to learn. The conversation moves into hands-on UTXO management, multisig cold storage best practices (physical backups over digital), and a sober take on privacy tools like PayJoin, CoinJoin, ARC, and Spark. The episode wraps

Meetups Decentralize Bitcoin Culture | Ep. 024

Local Bitcoiners ·

2026/08/12

Rev and Reed reconnect after a heavy few weeks in Bitcoin, opening with meetup updates and Rev's recap of Lake Satoshi, before diving into the fallout from the Coldcard hardware wallet vulnerability that cost some community members their savings. The hosts unpack how centralized hardware wallet hype spread through podcast sponsorships and Twitter and became an attack vector, and argue that decentralized, meetup-based knowledge-sharing is the better defense going forward. They close with Local

This episode features Buffalo, who got inspired to run a meetup at Lake Satoshi and revived the Grand Rapids' social meetup at Two Guys Brewing in Wyoming, Michigan. Buffalo talks orange-pilling his family and local businesses, building a circular economy through spend-and-replace, and his plans for a "White Paper Day" regional meetup in November. Post-interview, Reed and Rev debuted a brand-new Community Roundtable, recorded live over Corny Chat with Michigan organizers Jackie, Matthew D, Bruce,

Getting Lucky with Meetups w/Jacob: Indianapolis, IN...

Local Bitcoiners ·

2026/07/29

Jacob from the Indy Bitcoin Meetup joins Rev and Reed to trace a five-year run built on one thing above all - consistency, the third Wednesday of every month without a single miss - and a running joke that all their good fortune is just "getting lucky." Along the way the meetup has birthed a mining company (Megawatt), put 75+ home nodes into the wild, spun off a Lightning Social night, and cultivated a genuine local economy of buying, selling, and proof-of-work reputation-building. In an extended

2026/07/22

Matthew D has been boosting Local Bitcoiners since episode one, and this week he finally joins Rev and Reed to represent Michigan Bitcoin culture. We discuss his meetup journey from his first meetup at a downtown Ann Arbor brewery, where talking Bitcoin with a Ben Franklin lookalike in front of a brick wall felt like sitting in a revolutionary tavern, to the dozen-odd meetups now scattered from Blue Water to Grand Rapids. A forester by trade who came to sound money by way of local food, Matthew

2026/07/16

Chicago Bitcoin Collective co-founders Jon, Brady, and Foise join the show to tell the story of buying a building in Portage Park and turning it into Fork & Coin - a Bitcoin-only restaurant and American izakaya downstairs, with a members' clubhouse and co-working space upstairs. They get into the DIY renovation, a tiered membership model that runs from co-working up to 24/7 builder access, Bitcoin-sourced ingredients and tallow-fried food, and how stacking a restaurant, a clubhouse, and a circular

2026/07/08

Shannon of Columbus Bitcoin joins Rev and Reed to trace how a casual Twitter happy hour grew into a six-year-old meetup with roughly eighty regulars, quarterly "mini conference" events, and a River partnership. The conversation digs into recording speaker talks for YouTube and X and the tricky balance between promoting a meetup with good media while respecting attendee privacy, which Rev frames as documenting the Bitcoin revolution for the historical record. Shannon also previews the two-day Midwest

Upping Your Meetup Game w/Steve, Scott & Tali:...

Local Bitcoiners ·

2026/07/01

Reed and Rev sit down with Steve, Scott, and Tali of the Louisville Bitcoin Network to wrestle with a question every organizer eventually hits: is your meetup for spreading Bitcoin to newcomers, or for building deep relationships among the Bitcoiners you already have? The conversation moves through the technical-versus-social tension of a bit devs format, the struggle to draw in women and non-technical attendees, and Scott's philosophy of designing Bitcoin tabletop games like HODL UP as low-friction

The Subjective Value of Meetups w/Clay Seal:...

2026/06/24

In this episode, Clay, organizer of Cincinnati Bitcoin and a first-time podcast guest, traces his path from bingeing Austrian economics in 2015 to buying his first Bitcoin in 2020 and not discovering meetups until 2023. Clay is a self-described "lonely Bitcoiner" who organically stepped up to organize. He walks through the group's twice-monthly cadence (content Wednesdays, social Thursdays), its small-but-faithful "polyculture" core group building real-world projects, and why consistency is what
