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

[DabsPoorVersion]

I live in small city, it's difficult to organize such a bitcoin gathering. The interest in bitcoin is really low here. Last year I gathered with some of my crypto friends and people I know, but I soon stopped visiting those gathering as people there see bitcoin only as the way of becoming rich, they desperately waiting for a bullrun to earn money. They do not care about development and adoption of cryptocurrency. So, I don't see a point in such meetings.

Living in a small city is not a problem, as long as you share the same interest with other people in your area you can have even a small gathering from bitcoin community. If they are not fully aware of bitcoin, sharing your knowledge will be the best option for them to know how amazing technology is. Maybe that way you can consider them that cryptocurrency is not just about investment, it is also to adapt the development of the technology.

I just saw this on a Facebook page that they organize or make gathering about bitcoin. This is part of our country so if given a chance I would love to join this gathering to be able to develop our knowledge in cryptocurrency. Also, this is good to know there's a kind of event that makes people aware of bitcoin. This way many people will know how bitcoin works and they can adopt cryptocurrency.

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 did this for few times during the all time high of 2017 and the result and experience was very disappointing. That's why I don't have any urgency of making a meetup anymore with those who wants to study about bitcoin. I can help them to discuss online but having a meetup, I don't think that I'll do it again.

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.

There are dedicated groups that arrange this kind of meetups already that's why I don't want to engage with this activity on my own. I just want to attend meaningful seminars and meetups.

i ever invited by my friend to come in some city. i went there alone and following an event that hosted by some exchanger like meet and greet. many people join (although the participant are restricted) but there are a lot of experience and knowledge shared and its fun.

I helped to organize a meeting in my city. It wasn't anything and we had less than 50 people participate with 5 people having speeches mostly about trading, taxes and security. We also had a dinner afterwards.
The best thing about this meeting was the ability to see how many people find cryptocurrencies interesting and that these people are coming from completely different backgrounds. It's not that only tech savvy people are into Bitcoin these days but also older, retired people and some younger people, who are still in high school.
If there's a conference in your city don't think twice about attending. You'll meet a lot of people and have fun.

I have done it since 2018 ago ans thus far if there is seminars who talk about bitcoin or most seminars are talk blokchain technology (but they will have a focus to spreading up an information about bitcoin) I always come to these place although the event is far to my home. I'm willing to spend eight hours with my motorcycle to came in the seminar.

This technology is really new so there is many innovation who can be extanded and can be use by most people in the future. I'm still ignoring what people say especially for those who don't like this technology and as much as possible I'll be avoided to argue with some people who don't like bitcoin.

There are not many people that are in the area. But over a larger area in the city, there are many but there is not really a central location to draw enough of a crowd. Mostly just talking about it with friends.
There are local forums and we will wait for more people to join and maybe in a year or two have a gathering.

[AicecreaME]

We have this group chat in messenger that we've created in the year 2016, we're all bitcoin enthusiast from different places here in our country. In the year 2017, midyear I guess, we planned to meet up and set the place already but it didn't happen because of busy schedules and we have different responsibilities in life, though I'm sure it would be awesome if we met each other that time, I'm just waiting for them to reset that meet up that has been postponed.

Arranging and planning a get together or meeting or an seminar about bitcoin would really help a lot in spreading news and positivity about bitcoin and the whole cryptocurrency world for sure.

What they reaction if they read or see a slogan of Bitcoin?

I'll bet no one will pay any interest in joining here in my town, they are all thinking that bitcoin is just a scam and will not help their life. I know this because I already told them many times about bitcoin and they refuse to listen and bad mouth me about it.

I don't think conventional ways of showcasing cryptocurrencies are really going to be effective in the future, just shoving photos of BTC and slogans down people's throat.

Instead, I think the way we get to these people would be via more personal connections, whether it's their friend talking to them about it, or their favourite influencer giving off a good impression of BTC.

No meets ups or gathering of BTC or altcoin community in my town though but if there are I would definitely join just to at least make some contacts to real people who have same interest. I wanna learn more about mining and I can definitely need some help from fellows who knew how. I'm not gonna mind BTC though but I'm planing just an altcoin like XMR or ETH.

What I'm also aspiring to see if there is a meet up within the city I live. I wouldn't want to initiate a gathering myself but I can sell them shirts with BTC designs on it. There has to be more so I that there will be funding. Someone who will speak like a developer team.

Reputation of bitcoin is really bad in some countries where it is known as a type of investment scam or pyramiding. Once they heard about it they start to avoid topics which is crypto related. Most of people around my place also think that bitcoin will not gonna have a future and its just a tool for illegal activities.
It would be beneficial if bitcoin community would gather a seminar to explain and help those kind of people to fully understand the use and how does bitcoin is working.

I have been to this gathering once, And it really helps us especially for newcomers to Bitcoin / Crypto Currency. It can help us to better understand bitcoin and what it can do for our lives. So far only a few have been doing this event and I have been unable to attend because of the scheudule of my work. Hopefully, these events will increase, so that other people can be aware of what bitcoin is and how to use it properly.

[Eclipse26]

I haven't tried going or arranging a gathering regarding bitcoin here in my country or my city. Me and my friends are the only one gathering talking about bitcoin. But rather than gathering it would be better to have seminars about bitcoin for other people to give them knowledge so they might get interested with bitcoin. Because when we say gathering, it's about people who already knew about bitcoin. But if we aim to target new people, seminar would be better, then existing users would invite their colleagues who don't know bitcoin to attend the seminar.

[ReiMomo]

Well, as much as I want to but in my place, most of the bitcoin enthusiasts don't want to be recognized because they think that they might get arrested by the government due to bitcoin  IF is illegal in their place. Maybe the best thing to do is to make a group chat so that we can be able to communicate even without meeting each other personally. But sometimes we have an open topic for my fellow colleague.

[Mike Mayor]

I am too busy and have many other meetups involving other things mostly hobbies. There are many Bitcoin supporters here but people live far from one another here and you must travel a fair distance to go to most main areas. People lived scattered out it is not like there is any one area that is more crypto-focused then the rest. They advertise bitcoin here and I think they have seminars. I am not really that interested, as I say I have many other hobbies.

[Daniel91]

Yes, we had our first meet up in our local community, Croatia, last year.
We didn't know each other before, we met just in this forum but one member of our forum received some prize in btc and decided to spend that reward by inviting the rest of us for first meet up.
It was great meeting, we stayed together all night, talking and getting to know each other, with drinks and dinner.
I hope we can do it again soon.

[Apes]

I have never attended a meet up that was held in my city.  but I often meet with my friends who are fellow crypto users, we often discuss sharing information about cryptocurrency hot issues lately.
unfortunately on several official occasions we were unable to attend the meet-up held by the bigges cryptocurrency exchange market in our country, because they very rare scheduling this event.

I would say that it is not hard to make a gathering , but sometimes this is not a smart move. I say this for at least two reasons, and first is security of the person who organizes such events, because it is assumed that such persons own some crypto, and therefore may become the target of attacks and robbery. The second reason is still a deep belief that Bitcoin is a ponzi/mlm scheme, and that persons promoting it create personal financial gain to the detriment of others.

I am not saying that it is completely wrong to promote Bitcoin, but that today it can be done in other safer ways, by posting on forums, blogs or by making good videos.

[alexsandria]

I havent tried it. It is for the reason that I have so many things to do and I have no time for that. But it is a good thing to do! It will help to spread bitcoin, and all of us want that. But before in class I have telling my classmates about it(even me, I had know bitcoin because of another classmates), they are at first hesitant and doubtful but when I show some evidences, they began to be curious.
