Title: First Bitcoin meetup in New Hampshire -- a Report
Post by: ben-abuya on July 01, 2012, 08:37:44 PM
We had our first New Hampshire Bitcoin meetup yesterday and it was great! Ten people showed up and we had a boisterous two hours talking about all aspects of Bitcoin. From how to get them and how to store them to predicting the future of the coin. We exchanged Bitcoins for cash and, per custom, asked the waitress if she accepted Bitcoin. This going to be a weekly event, and anybody's who's in the area is cordially invited to join.

New Hampshire is a pretty good place to be right now if you're into Bitcoins:

Wow, weekly? You really think the level of enthusiasm is enough to support such frequency? If so I'm pleasantly surprised, and glad to see Bitcoin making such inroads into the community.

The consensus at the meetup was that it should be a weekly event, especially for currency exchange purposes. I expect the meetup to grow way beyond 10 people.

Looks great!
