That is what we need to do in our local city so we can invite more people to learn about bitcoin.
Besides that, they can try to talk with the older members, and they can get more experience from them, which will be useful for the new people to learning bitcoin.
If we can do that in every city and we can manage a meeting with them, I am sure that will help bitcoin to grow and reach more new people in our city.
That will be good too for spreading bitcoin, and that could give trust to them because we don't want to lie to them, and we only want to help them to understand and teach them about bitcoin.
There are MANY small meetups all over the world, but not all of them are helping newbies actively to buy bitcoins. They have the mindset of what they can get out of these meetups and not what they can give back to Bitcoin.
I think people who have benefitted from this technology should automatically pay it forward to "new" people and they should be encouraged to do this. People organising these meetups can have 1 "NEWBIE" day a month and you will see a significant increase in adoption globally.
Let's encourage organisers of these events to duplicate this strategy and you will see a tremendous increase in merchants and Bitcoin traders in your immediate surroundings.
