Did you arrange a meet up or make a gathering with local bitcoin community?

I wonder with many people now know bitcoin as a new trend in many countries, did you arrange a meetup or make a gathering with local bitcoin community? I think that will give a chance to spread bitcoin in your city, and you can ask other people to join you to use bitcoin or other coins. What they reaction if they read or see a slogan of Bitcoin?

I haven't tried because of my busy schedule but I would like to try a meet up someday and spread the advantages of bitcoin. But as of right now, there are plenty of gatherings that are happening in our country that were being hosted by my friends and I love to participate one day then create my own little gathering in our small town.

This will surely help those people who are interested in bitcoin and for me to guide them also so they can earn some good profit even if they are still a newbie in bitcoin.

We are now group of local crypto currency supporters and earners . We try to schedule meet up and always failed doing this because of persosnal reason and other important things to do. But we meet individually up to  7 members on my group we are living in different city so its really hard for us to schedule a meet up since most of them has a family already . How i wish we can set up a meeting someday maybe when the bull market start again .

We are actually setting a gathering in our country. The problem is we are living in different cities and regions. However, we have a group chat where we are able to share our thoughts and ideas about the latest happenings in crypto like the best coins to invest and other speculations about the market. We will try to set a new gathering schedule this Christmas and it will surely be a lot of fun for us Crypto lovers here. It's still important that we're arranging simple gatherings because it would be another way to promote Bitcoin and to unite since we have the same interests.

I don't actually think to just broadcast to random people that I have Bitcoins that would surely put in danger my security, I would tend to let my number of friends to actually know and teach them a couple of I know about this platform than to gather multiple individuals or rather random people and announce that I am earning Bitcoin I guess that would be suicide and this may persuade a couple of fraudulent people as well, I think it is OK to have this forum site and stay in the comfort of it and let yourself be anonymous for our own safety as well.

I went to a bitcoin gathering once, there were only 7 of us who came but the experience was great. we talked about our experiences with bitcoin
how did we came across it and some other things about our life in the end we all agreed to make a second gathering and at that second gather
of the people who came alone invited other people and the group grew from 7 to 13 we still try to keep in touch with each other and tries to set up
a third gathering but most of us are too busy with study or work. it was a great experience knowing random people and becoming close to them
because of the thing you both like.

I went to several meetups on Canada and here in the Philippines, but never have I even tried to organize one or be a part of the organizing team. Surprisingly though, there are a lot more attendees to Philippine-based bitcoin meetups compared to Canadian meetups, which is unusual since we all know that the Canadians have more access to lots of exchanges and services open to cryptocurrencies while the Philippines is still on its infancy regarding cryptocurrencies in general. Either way, a lot are still unaware of what bitcoin really is and what it offers, and it's normal considering the learning curve is still high and that there aren't really that much of exposure when it comes to crypto in both countries.

There was a time early this year that I missed the time to hang out like that, it was a marriage celebration for a fellow bitcoin group member but it was really far from me plus I wasn't very emotionally sound then. I had to let that go and hoping to get another chance which has not come. That would have been time to meet with crypto friends

No I don’t, my network is not that big yet but I do join meet ups like the one organized by Binance in my country. Usually they go from different provinces like 2 weeks from now they will go to Baguio and that place is known as the summer capital of the Philippines because of its cold climate. Theres a lot of Bitcoin enthusiasts there thats why they decided to bring the tour in the province.

A bit difficult to organize such a bitcoin gathering in my community due to bad or negative perceptive about bitcoin which is likened to the moribund MMM ponzi scheme having had a bad and bitter experienced of the scheme there is no amount of conviction about bitcoin to these people that would ever allow them to settle down to the good news about bitcoin, however myself and some of my colleagues are taking the bull by the horn and making concerted efforts towards organizing such a gathering next month.

I have not conducted any meet up but i have participated in some of the gathering organized by one of the member here in the form and he introduced me to this forum and to bitcoin. During that time i have heard about bitcoin but did not knew much about it nor interested to learn but then my good friend was engaged in the market for a long time and he introduced me and many people as far as i know and i am sure majority have similar experiences.

The interest in bitcoin is low in my city. I don't really see the young generation attracted to it. Maybe that's because it is not so convenient to make payments in bitcoin. Actually I don't know any offline local shop that accepts bitcoin or any cryptocurrency as a method of payment. On the other hand in ecommerce stores bitcoin starts to spread out. I guess we still don't have the infrastructure for physical shops or maybe the experts to implement it. I agree with you that regular meet-ups are the way to build a group that spreads awareness about BTC.

[bhabygrim]

No I haven't tried it but we have a facebook group and we did plan to meet up last year,
But I don't really know if it ever happen because I didn't go due to being busy at that time.
But it could also be a good thing you know meeting new people hanging out with a bunch of people who got the same interest and exchanging info or knowledge about crypto.

I can see there are meetups in the capital city in my country. There are NEM community and even ETHER community which I may be able to join too. I am interested to know fellow users in the forum and them in real but I'm not sure if they will reveal the users names they have in bitcointalk. It would be funny learning that someone you met was someone you argued in bitcointalk.

I do gather my friends and some people that I known in FB because of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.  Since we share a commong interest, we decided to meet up.  It was fun as especially meeting new people and feel that we have known each other long enough to be comfortable talking and sharing ideas and experiences with them.

But I never had achance to gather a huge audience just to  explain to them about cryptocurrency but I do share it to my friends, neighbors and to those people I known that works in the same industry as I did.  The first thing they thought is that Bitcoin is somehow a scam scheme.  That's sad but it is true.

Would be nice to have a meeting with my local bitcoin community and you gave me a good idea to make a thread about this. As far as I remember my local administrator , Cyrus , has gathered the community a few times and I will ask him if we can do it again as a few years passed since then and we can share and learn a lot from each other as I'm sure we have a lot of new members that want to meet some of us especially Cyrus who is a great guy.

The first time I gathered with a local community was in the late 2017. I started getting serious about getting into cryptocurrencies, as Bitcoin was on its way to all-time high. They educated me well on how to earn with cryptocurrencies, both free (airdrops and bounties), trading and mining.

Because of my passion and exposure with the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency community, I started to conduct small gatherings and events until the time I was finally invited to become keynote or guest speakers in various universities and blockchain events/conferences/summits locally and internationally.

If some of the tenured and responsible bitcoin users can take the initiative of having any bitcoin community meet ups or gathering it will create more awareness about bitcoin but we cannot push the users to use bitcoin or any altcoin but rather we can advise them about the benefit of bitcoin and crypto in general, then it's up to them as there are risks involved and the crypto market is extremely volatile hence no one would like to take the risk of asking other to invest and then being held responsible if they lose money.

[Fredomago]

This is a good way to survey how your community learn about crypto / bitcoin. With such form of gathering people around you and share information about this industry you will be able to know how they appreciates this new form of crypto currency. With your initiatives more people will be influenced especially when you share your success, with someone who already have good benefits it will be much easier to convince other people to also join in and start learning this new type of currency.

I tried visit few, but most of them either focus on earning money while i'm more interested to discuss technical side of Bitcoin.
Overall it's not good experience since few people promote shady investment in many forms (ICO, money game, unknown altcoin, etc.)
