Title: San Antonio Bitcoin Meetup
Post by: edd on August 06, 2014, 07:43:12 PM
The Bitcoin scene in San Antonio has grown nicely since the last time I tried to get a meetup going back in 2012. Last week was our first meetup with six attendees (including myself) and I did practically no advertising. We discussed some Bitcoin fundamentals, alt coins, some projects/business ideas and a couple of us "old timers" regaled newbs with tales of yesteryear, when GPUs ruled the pools and all you could buy were alpaca socks and a pound of my coffee.

The latest incarnation of the San Antonio Bitcoin Meetup (http://www.meetup.com/San-Antonio-Bitcoin/) will take place every Thursday at 7 pm unless there is a substantial push to change days. I hope to engender an atmosphere where one can feel comfortable buying, selling or trading cryptocurrencies, discussing projects, ideas or mining rigs, or just learning more about this exciting and disruptive technology.

This week I wanted to spread the word but things have just been too hectic until today. If you're in the area and want to stop by, please do!

We had another great meetup last night. Only one new face but I'm sure that will improve as we get established. Also, the weather will hopefully start cooling down a little soon, making our outdoor area more comfortable.

It won't take many more attendees to outgrow Tiago's so I plan to look into an alternate venue today.

Tonight promises to be our biggest yet! http://www.meetup.com/San-Antonio-Bitcoin/events/199750392/

Don't forget, we'll be at a new venue.

Tonight's the joint meetup with the San Marcos Bitcoin group. If you plan on attending just one meetup, you should make it this one!

It varies. Most of the time, there's 6 to 8 of us.
