Bitcoin

Join us for our first meetup! We will have a discussion on Fiat vs Bitcoin, a little bit of learning and discussions that are important to the group. This a social group so bring your questions and curiosity, prepared to listen and share. Too often, women are left out of the conversation while they prepare to live longer, care for more people and are the heart of any community. Wouldn't it be great if we could be more educated on ways to beat inflation, have more choices, and be prepared for the changes to come? Please bring your questions, so that we can plan topics for future meet-ups.

Attendance is $35 (cash, credit/debit card, or ApplePay - paid at the door), which includes water/soda/coffee, bread, choice of a plated lunch entrée, and a dessert assortment. Parking is also validated in the Reston Station garages (3 hours of validation). Join one of Northern Virginia's most successful business networking groups (part of BNI). Open to the public and is typically attended by business owners, business developers, and entrepreneurs. Meetings are typically attended by 30-40 members and guests. \*\*\*PLEASE RSVP here: [REGISTER HERE](https://square.link/u/0WvC6Eir) \*\*\*If you do not register on the BNI website, there may not be a seat available for you.

Join us for a special evening at PubKey DC where we dive into the unique opportunities and challenges of running a small business in Washington, DC. **👉 Please RSVP on Luma:** [https://luma.com/aqbatjk9](https://luma.com/aqbatjk9) ​Our featured guests are Michael Haft and Andrew Newman. Micheal is the CEO and Founder of Compass Coffee, which pioneered Bitcoin payments with Square across its DC cafés. Andrew is a Co-Founder & CFO of Pubkey, the Bitcoin themed bar and cultural hub in NYC with a new location in DC. The talk will be moderated by Seong Hong, a seasoned financial executive, former partner at a global consulting firm, and member of Bitcoin District Initiative. ​They’ll discuss the practical realities of accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment, how Compass Coffee teamed up with Square to be the first business to roll out Bitcoin payments across their cafés, Pubkey’s experience in NYC with Bitcoin and their plans for DC, and what business owners should know as interest grows across the District. ​We’ll also examine challenges unique to DC such as government shutdowns, shifting commuter patterns, and the long-term impact of remote work, and how a monetary asset like Bitcoin can be used as a long term store of value that can give small businesses tools to weather downturns or grow their operation. ​The conversation will also look ahead: where DC stands in the broader Bitcoin adoption cycle, what it means to develop a Bitcoin circular economy in the Nation’s Capital, and how residents, businesses, and local communities can all play a role in building it from the ground up. # ​About the Bitcoin District Initiative This event was organized by the Bitcoin District Initiative, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to build a grassroots Bitcoin circular economy in Washington, DC through education, business onboarding, and community outreach programs.

It’s the most unique Real Estate Investor Community of Mentors, Coaches & Masterminds. A community of growth oriented, abundance mindset, go-giver individuals with a BARE MINIMUM commitment to become financially free through real estate investing. We focus on providing education and building networks to help every member solve their cash-flow freedom equation, so they can have the time-freedom needed to follow their passions, make a lasting impact and even change the world! The unique format of this event, which consists of high-level education, gamified networking, mastermind breakout sessions, case studies, group deal analysis, market deep dives, and peer-to-peer coaching facilitation makes this the most impactful local real estate investor group a real estate investor can be a part of. The foundation of the group is built around the belief that everyone in the room has the potential to change the world… however most of us never have the time, energy or financial situation to even dare to dream big enough. Most of us have passions that will never be followed, amazing businesses or ideas that will never be pursued… unless we can solve the Cash-Flow Freedom Equation, which ultimately leads to Time-Freedom. Once that happens it is usually much easier for us to think bigger, dream bigger, be bigger. · 🤯 Learn more about the Cash-Flow Breakfast Club [HERE](https://cashflowbreakfastclub.com/) · 🥇 Get in the VIP List to be notified about the next event in your area [HERE](https://the.cashflowbreakfastclub.com/VIP) · 🤙🏼 Learn more about Launching your own Cash-Flow Breakfast Club Location [HERE](https://cashflowbreakfastclub.com/launch-your-own-club/) · 🤝🏼 Learn more about becoming an Affiliate-Sponsor at one of our club locations [HERE](https://cashflowbreakfastclub.com/affiliate-sponsors/) · 📷 View photos and videos of some of our recent events [HERE](https://cashflowbreakfastclub.com/about-the-cash-flow-breakfast-club/) · 😎 Looking to represent?
