NEW LOCATION: Phinney Community Center Red/Lower Brick Building Upper Floor Room 35
This is an open discussion group focused on investing in Bitcoin. Beginner-friendly! Topics include the best timing for buying and selling Bitcoin, the best places to buy Bitcoin, how and where to keep Bitcoin safely, ETFs, how Bitcoin is different than alt-coins, threats to Bitcoin, common challenges people have investing in Bitcoin, how the government can and may affect Bitcoin, how upgrades are made in Bitcoin, and questions about how Bitcoin works at a technical level. Priority will be given to questions from people who are new to Bitcoin. We are meeting at the Phinney Community Center Red/Lower Brick Building Upper Floor Room 35

Understanding what could go wrong is just as important as understanding what's going right. Bitcoin's critics are often poorly informed, which means the real risks get drowned out by noise. This event takes a different approach. Two deeply knowledgeable Bitcoin experts will turn a critical eye on the protocol they believe in, exploring the genuine technical, economic, and political threats that deserve attention. Audience Q&A is encouraged, so bring your hardest questions. Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.

Brandon Black is a Bitcoin developer with hands-on experience building critical infrastructure at Swan, BitGo, and Casa. His work sits at the intersection of protocol development and real-world Bitcoin security.

Vijay Boyapati is the author of The Bullish Case for Bitcoin, a foundational text that has shaped how a generation of investors and technologists think about Bitcoin's monetary properties and long-term trajectory.
