Austin Bitcoin Club Presents: Building a Type 1 Civilization

## Austin Bitcoin Club Presents: Building a Type 1 Civilization

What does it take to build a civilization that not only survives—but thrives?
Join us at the next Austin Bitcoin Club meetup as Jesse Peltan & Gideon Powell help us envision a world powered by abundant, decentralized energy. Jesse is a pioneering researcher focused on solar energy and its role in accelerating human flourishing. In this special session, we’ll explore how innovation in energy can unlock the next frontier of independence and prosperity.

(Note: If you can't make it up the building, ping Andrew on Signal @ajdav21.55)

Meetup Focus:
We’ll dive into how unlocking the full potential of the sun—the most abundant energy source on earth—could transform our civilization, empower individuals, and advance the cause of freedom. Whether you’re a Bitcoiner, technologist, homesteader, or energy entrepreneur, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
Format: Fireside Chat
Trials, Tribulations, and the Solar Future
This intimate conversation will unpack the hard lessons, bold bets, and ongoing efforts in the fight for decentralized energy solutions. Jesse and Gideon will explore where the energy sector is broken, what it's going to take to fix it, and how we can all play a role in building a future worth inheriting.

Please RSVP as space will be limited.

If this is your first time at one of our meetups, we have a few simple guidelines to enhance everyone’s experience:

• our meetups and events have a simple and singular focus: Bitcoin. All of our topics and discussions will be centered around Bitcoin, the global monetary network, and bitcoin, the reserve asset. If you are interested in crypto tokens, stocks, blockchains, altcoins, alternative investing, NFTs, etc. that is completely fine. There are a number of other meetups to join. This meetup however is just focused on Bitcoin
• please no photos unless no one is identifiable in the background. We respect everyone’s privacy and want everyone to feel comfortable as they participate
• while the group discussion is going, please keep side conversations to none. With the acoustics of the room and the number of people we expect, any conversations will echo and be a distraction for those who are trying to listen many of whom have traveled a long way to participate
• please pick up after yourself
• Street parking or the paid garage across from our building on East 6th (515 Congress)
