Ambitious agenda! Nice
We did actually make it through everything for the last one. But I suspect there are a few topics here on which we will linger...
How has attendance been in the summer?
not huge. We had 10 or so at the first one and maybe 8 at the June meetup. But it lends itself to a more cozy conversation where most people feel comfortable speaking up.
I attended my first bitdev in Tampa Bay in June and it sounds like a similar experience. I liked it much more than I expected. I'm going Thursday to my first one in New York City.
The NY bitdevs sounds like it will be great! I'd love to hear about how you find it.
I'm looking forward to it!
Bitcoin Adoption in the making. Great work! 💯
