Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Meetup in Austin Texas

Learn about Bitcoin, payment systems for the Internet without banks and credit cards and PayPal, credit card fraud, and identity theft. Maybe a bit "Occupy" in nature, and a bit "Libertarian" in nature, but Bitcoin is an amazing payment system!
We welcome everyone, from Bitcoin Programmers to the simply curious, to the Economics Professor that just wants to show us the errors of our ways!

Where: Central Market 40th & N. Lamar, Austin, TX (edit map)

I have some 7 inch Bitcoins on a couple of stands that I put on our tables. Outside of the Cafe at a long table by the Playscape. If we have to, we may move onto the covered porch, or inside, or UPSTAIRS (That location is a bit harder to find!)

Hey! It is RAINING! Likely we will be upstairs! That's hard to find, but if you ask, they will show you how to get there!

Wow.  About 30 people for the Nov 12 meetup, many new people, many old stand bys!  

Nothing like pushing $400 dollars to bring out Bitcoin fans in the cold and the wind!

Tuesday Meetup

More information: http://www.meetup.com/BitcoinAustin/events/149026232/

When: 7:00 pm Tuesday November 26
Where: Scholz Garten, 1607 San Jacinto Blvd.
Why?  To learn about Bitcoin, educate others.  Because you are a Liberal or Conservative, or Libertarian, or activist, or pacifist.  An Economist who wants to learn more, or tell the rest of us why Bitcoin is bad. Be you technical developer hardware type, or completely non-technical.  We are as friendly a group as you will meet, so come and make connections!

Doesn't matter who you are, you are welcome!

For the meeting on December 15

Several people are interested in seeing a little more "formal" meeting.
Lead group discussion, question / answer session, help getting started.

To that end, we're coming up with something like this...
We want to have THE best and most useful meetups possible!

7:00 - Meet & Greet - Mingle, order food/drinks, welcome new people
7:10 - Share - Give people a chance to talk 2-5 min on what they are
doing with bitcoin (biz, personal experience, success stories, job opportunities)
7:30 - Q&A - Group poses questions to be answered: What's so good about bitcoin? Where's it headed? Is it safe?
7:45 - Training - How to set up wallet. Where / How to convert dollars to bitcoin and back. Where to spend bitcoin. How to get your company to accepting bitcoin.

The plan is to start implementing this at our next meetup!
We would REALLY love any feedback, ideas the rest of the group has.

Wow!  Overstock.com makes 126K in one day from Bitcoin?  And quite the news buzz, especially in the Bitcoin world!

And Bitcoin is moving again, back in the 900's again, with China leading in volume and value. See: https://bitcoinaverage.com/#USD.

The Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Meetup: http://www.meetup.com/BitcoinAustin/events/154862272/

What:  Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Meetup
Where: Scholz Garten, 1607 San Jacinto Blvd, Austin TX
When:  Sunday January 12

At about 7:15 we have a presentation, going over one or two things of interest in the Bitcoin world.  Then an open mic where people doing Bitcoin projects or interested in a Bitcoin related opportunity get up and speak for 2 to 5 minutes each.

We have a set of tables with big signs for topics like "Setting up a Wallet"  or "New to Bitcoin".  Furthermore different tables will center around different topics like Bitcoin mining or Bitcoin investment, or economics, etc.

You can even find out how to accept Bitcoin using payment processors like BitPay that let you receive dollars for your Bitcoin payment at rates far below credit cards.

The venue for this weekly Meetup has been changed to Brave New Books (http://bravenewbookstore.com/).

One of the advantages of this location is that it overlaps with the live broadcast of The Crypto Show (http://thecryptoshow.com/), so people who attend our meetup will have the opportunity to be guests on that show.

Every Sunday, 7-10 pm
