Title: Bitcoins in Chile – first big gettogether Post by: giszmo on May 24, 2013, 10:55:19 PM Yesterday I attended the most likely first bitcoin meetup of more than 10 people in Chile. I would guess we were 60.

Most attendants were foreigners with maybe 5-10 actual Chileans, which is most likely because it was organized within the English-speaking incubator Startup Chile. Many showed interest in turning this into a regular thing and I'm confident there will be hopefully more successful follow-up meetups. Todo for the next meetup:

I like to read the Sovergein Man (http://www.sovereignman.com/) occasionally, thought it would be a great start to anyone.
