Recently, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell remarked that Bitcoin is "not a competitor for the dollar; it's really a competitor for gold." and later that night Bitcoin finally broke $100,000 per coin price. Is this a sign of Bitcoin’s success—or its failure?

Bitcoin has always been more than just a technology—it's a movement with the power to challenge the status quo. I mean... there are whole meetup groups devoted to it, like this one!

But as the years pass, has Bitcoin strayed from its original promise? Once hailed as a currency of liberation and an alternative to state-controlled money, Bitcoin now finds itself increasingly centralized, regulated, and framed as "digital gold."

Has the push for mainstream acceptance and price appreciation come at the cost of its revolutionary potential? And what does this mean for those who still believe in Bitcoin as a tool for financial empowerment and sovereignty?

Our panel discussion will explore this evolution, examining the trade-offs between Bitcoin’s rising valuation and the loss of its early ideals. Is this how things would have turned regardless of blocksize war? Will J Powell be proven wrong? Should he be proven wrong? Join us as we discuss whether Bitcoin’s current trajectory is one of progress or compromise—and what this means for its role in shaping the future of money.

This is a community-sponsored event. Enjoy BBQ and beer provided onsite, and feel free to contribute to our potluck vibe with your BYOB or other dishes—vegetarian options are available but may be limited.
