I was riding in the caboose of this train yeaterday and thought about @npub1a2cw...w83a IYKYK

I collected a few things from the #Bitcoin2024 conference (my first one) and put them into a shadow box ☺️

We had our first #Bitcoin Book Club in Washington DC and it was a success! We had a great time discussing The Blocksize War by Jonathan Bier. We talked, we laughed, people won some sats from a little Book Trivia and we picked our next book: The Genesis Book by @Aaron van Wirdum If you’re in the DMV area & would like to join, let me know!

A friendly DC Bitcoiner was kind enough to buy 4 copies of Broken Money by @npub1a2cw...w83a for the #BitcoinBookDrop! We met up on Sunday to drop them in Little Free Libraries around the city. This is drop #29 🤓📚🇺🇸 Big shoutout to @Club Orange for getting us Bitcoiners connected!

Join the new Meetup group to stay tuned for updates and have a way to get in touch with us. We plan to meet somewhere b/w the German American Friendship garden and the Washington Monument, but it'll be easier to coordinate movement if you message us in the app:

The snowfall yesterday closed down much of DC so I took to the quiet streets to find a beautiful little library to drop a copy of The Bitcoin Standard by @npub1gdu7...6nak This time I added a little note for future Bitcoiners 🤓📚 #StudyBitcoin #BitcoinBookDrop

I took to the streets of DC with my flashy #StudyBitcoin Halloween costume yesterday and it sparked many interesting conversations. Here are some of the things I learned... 1) I need to work on my Bitcoin elevator pitch! It's really important to have a quick & relatable explanation of what Bitcoin is and the problems it solves when the orange-pilling window of opportunity is short. 😅 2) Many thought I worked for Bitcoin which tells me that they associate it with some kind of corporation or business. I explained that Bitcoin is a global monetary network companies can build on, similar to how a company can be built atop the internet. 🌐 3) Most do not know the difference b/w Bitcoin and the rest of "crypto". 🤦‍♂️ 4) A few thought I was out to sell them something which is understandable given we're bombarded with ads 24/7/365. They seemed surprised when I said I just believed in Bitcoin so much that I spent my time & money to build an elaborate costume just to raise awareness. 😊 5) Handing out tipcards loaded up with real Bitcoin is really fun. My redemption rate so far has been very low, but I think most are too skeptical and need some time to look into it before downloading a strange wallet to get a strangers' free sats. 🤔 6) I'm an introvert who avoids attention like the plague but got pretty comfy walking around in my costume. I even jumped onstage for a costume contest! The only cheers I got came from friends (I lost) but I was happy to have a hundred ppl thinking about Bitcoin for 5 mins. 🕺 7) I got way more positive shout outs than I expected. I got a few fist bumps, honking cars and a few asked for photos. One guy even shouted a price prediction at me🤣 8) It's VERY important NOT to tell people to buy Bitcoin. Someone, somewhere is always trying to sell us something but orange-pilling should be about encouraging others to study & learn. I think if you lead them to the rabbit hole, they'll fall in just like I did. 🐇
