Btcwrestle hosts the Columbia, South Carolina Bitcoin meetup and joins Rev and Reed to talk through his upcoming privacy workshop and his "take one thing away at a time" philosophy for getting Bitcoiners more private. The conversation digs into no-KYC sats, breaking transaction links with Whirlpool, UTXO management, running your own node, and why he steers clear of KYC exchanges entirely. They also map out the dream of stitching South Carolina and the broader Southeast meetups into a regional parallel economy. BTCWrestle dedicates his podcast boost split to the Samurai developers; find out more at billandkeonne.org.

SourceNode joins Rev and Reed from Greenville, South Carolina to talk about hosting his meetup at Steak and Shake and the budding regional network forming across South Carolina, Charlotte, Asheville, and Atlanta. The conversation winds through Captain Sid's Thailand Ride of Passage motorcycle trips, Bitcoin as a psychoactive software with parallels to psychedelics, and nonviolent communication as a tool for navigating shitcoiner conflicts and the role of meetup organizer as guide. SourceNode, Rev, and Reed close out on permaculture principles, the Nostr ethos versus Twitter dysfunction, and why the cultural-social layer is what carries Bitcoin the extra mile.

Rev and Reed go guestless for a deep-dive into the mechanics of Bitcoin meetup culture, tackling circular economies (and the unsolved problem of creating payment splits on physical goods), "proof of reputation" as the social capital that makes local communities trustworthy, and a frank breakdown of OPSEC and wrench-attack risk that argues the upside of showing up vastly outweighs the low-probability downside. Rev then walks through his exact playbook for selling Bitcoin for cash at a meetup. The episode closes with an extended V4V segment covering the leaderboards, boosts, new localbitcoiners.com features, and shout-outs to a cohort of Nostr-native podcasts (YATA, The 49th Parallel & The Open Markets Podcast) building alongside the show.

Jhonny Delgado joins Reed and Rev to trace his path from lonely Bitcoiner in New York to organizer of Bitcoin Charlotte, Orange Pill Peru, and Motiv Peru - a journey that started with a chance conversation in a mushroom costume at a Burning Man-style party. Jhonny breaks down how Charlotte's Bitcoin-only culture (rooted in a meetup running since 2013) gave him the template to seed scenes elsewhere, and how Delgado's Fuego hot sauce plus Rocoto, the gold-chained alpaca, became his most reliable orange-pilling tools at markets, conferences, and the Bitcoin Bazaar in Vegas. The conversation touches on the upcoming Local Block Market in Charlotte and the Bitcoin in Espanol event coming up at PubKey in NYC. 7/11 Bitcoin en Español event at Pubkey NYC: https://www.satlantis.io/events/1663/bitcoin-en-espanol 5/24 Local Block Market # 7 at Olde Mecklenburg Brewey LoSo, Charlotte, NC: https://www.satlantis.io/events/2203/local-block-market-7 Delgado's Fuego Store: https://delgadosfuego.com/collections/all September 2026 MotivPeru's Copa Bitcoin 2026 at Huanchaco, Peru: https://motivperu.ngo/en/copa-bitcoin/ Reed's Meetup: westernmassbitcoin.com Rev's Meetup: South Bend Bitcoin Meetup: Meets the First Thursday of Every Month at Lang Lab 6:30pm Eastern Time Find the show on nostr: npub1cvcgs83gw6pcrhvtmlf8gdqaegx93qkznwry96jteqhh2cexgkfq45rtya Reed's npub: npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Rev Hodl's npub: npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3z Jh0nny npub: npub1jz5pyzg6zrqqtqafslg95r8hhp2wcnr7zupgm20a9spd7pagxklqzfvd4d Do you run a meetup and want to talk about it with us?

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.

Rev and Reed welcome Shaun from the Niagara Bitcoin Meetup (Ontario, Canada) for a wide-ranging conversation on building Bitcoin culture across the border, from his first underground, mask-defying meetup at a Tahini's during pandemic lockdowns to nearly four years of monthly gatherings in Niagara Falls. Shaun shares his journey running a community-rooted meetup, his work teaching Bitcoin to at-risk youth using the Mi Primer Bitcoin curriculum, and standout merchant adoption wins like the night an entire group paid for ice cream and burgers in lightning sats. Rev also previews the inaugural "Bitcoin Community College" hands-on weekend in Michigan, and Reed announces plans to fork the KCBitcoiners' Bodarc tool for the Western Mass site.

Reed and Rev are joined by Spencer of KC Bitcoiners and the Bowl After Bowl podcast to dig into value-for-value as a sustainable foundation for both Bitcoin meetups and the podcasts that orbit them. Spencer makes the case that consistency must be balanced with variety, that gamification and small-but-frequent participation matter more than chasing big-name adoption, and that cultural capital is what builds gravity over time. Along the way Reed shares his plan for a Nostr onboarding workshop to power his meetup's circular economy, and Spencer floats a kids-eat-free family meetup as a way to reach the generation that will actually carry the baton.

Reed and Rev sit down with Liz and Wesley of Bitcoin Bay to talk about building a circular economy across the Tampa / St. Pete area, turning a local meetup into a full-blown 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and why designing events around locals, nomads, and non-Bitcoiner spouses can transform the gravity of a local scene. Liz shares how throwing creative events like Hodlween and Bitcoin Rocks pulls in people who'd never walk into a bar meetup, while Wesley breaks down the benefits and challenges of going nonprofit and why organizers shouldn't be shy about charging for workshops. The conversation closes with takeaways on sustainability, not reinventing the wheel, and a long boost readouts testing the new valuechain workflow between Fountain, nostr, and the boost bot. Bitcoin Bay was the first bitcoin meetup to incorporate as a 501(c)3 and is one of the longest continuously running Bitcoin meetups in the US.
