<p>Eric from Portland, Oregon joins Rev and Reed to talk about running six monthly Bitcoin meetups across the city and building Bitcoin Is For Everyone, the largest Bitcoin conference on the West Coast, from a nonprofit angle in one of the most crypto-skeptical regions in the country. He shares how the 501c3 structure creates cognitive disconnect for skeptics, why proof-of-work before sponsorships matters, and how a single politician's visit to the conference turned into a stage appearance the following year. Rev recaps Bitcoin Community College in Michigan, Reed teases a Connecticut meetup trip, and the V4V segment discusses the booster leaderboards. </p> <p>Reed's Meetup:<a href="http://westernmassbitcoin.com/"> </a><a href="http://westernmassbitcoin.com">westernmassbitcoin.com</a></p> <p>Rev's Meetup: South Bend Bitcoin Meetup: Meets the First Thursday of Every Month at Lang Lab 6:30pm Eastern Time</p> <p>Eric’s Meetup: <a href="https://www.meetup.com/portland-bitcoin-group/">https://www.meetup.com/portland-bitcoin-group/</a> </p> <p>Bitcoin is for Everyone Conference: <a href="https://bitcoinisforeveryone.com/">https://bitcoinisforeveryone.com/</a> (Discount code NOSTRINSIDER for 21% off conference tickets)</p> <p>Find the show on nostr: npub1cvcgs83gw6pcrhvtmlf8gdqaegx93qkznwry96jteqhh2cexgkfq45rtya</p> <p>Reed's npub: npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s</p> <p>Rev Hodl's npub: npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3z</p> <p>Eric’s npub: npub1ljswqt5rr5hpd3ee86n4qp9uvqafk233wlsvndxu7sxg8q889fxse79q6n</p> <p>Do you run a meetup and want to talk about it with us?
