👋 **Hei, kamu yang sering ngerasa "kok ekonomi dunia kayak nggak masuk akal ya..."** ​ Inflasi makin tinggi, daya beli makin tipis, tapi katanya ekonomi lagi "baik-baik aja". Kamu nggak salah ngerasa bingung, sistemnya memang didesain buat susah dimengerti. 🤔 ​Tapi ada satu mazhab ekonomi yang dari dulu udah jelasin semua ini dengan jernih. Namanya **Austrian Economics** dan ini bukan pelajaran membosankan ala buku teks. Ini cara baru baca dunia. 🌍 ​Di meetup kali ini kita bakal mulai dari dasarnya lewat sesi **Intro to Austrian Economics (Part 1)**—dibahas dengan cara yang santai dan dekat dengan kehidupan sehari-hari 😄📚 ​Kita akan ngobrol soal bagaimana cara pandang ekonomi dari mazhab ini melihat **uang, nilai, pilihan individu, dan pasar bebas**. Banyak ide di balik perkembangan Bitcoin juga sering dikaitkan dengan pemikiran ini, jadi sesi ini bisa jadi pintu masuk yang menarik untuk memahami “kenapa” di balik teknologi Bitcoin 💡 ​Bahasannya ringan, cocok buat siapa saja yang penasaran dan ingin memperluas cara melihat dunia finansial dari sudut pandang yang berbeda. ​Datang dengan rasa penasaran, pulang dengan sudut pandang yang lebih luas. Karena memahami ide di balik uang kadang membuka cara baru melihat dunia 🧡⚡ ​Sampai ketemu di meetup! ​ 📌 **Info Penting:** 🔸 *Gratis* (beli makan/minum sendiri) 🔸 No altcoin, no token, no bullshit 🔸 **100% Bitcoin.** 🔗 **Tentang Kami**🟠[ ](https://x.com/bitcoinindo21)[Bitcoin Indonesia ](https://x.com/bitcoinindo21)adalah inisiatif nirlaba yang bertujuan untuk: 🕊️ Menyebarkan pemahaman soal **Bitcoin** sebagai alat pembebasan individu ⚖️ Mendorong **kedaulatan finansial** lewat edukasi netral dan jujur 📚 Menyediakan konten edukasi **open-source & gratis** untuk semua **📲 Telegram: [https://t.me/+OIIRyKQmvJY0MWFk](https://t.me/+OIIRyKQmvJY0MWFk)** **📸 Instagram: [https://instagram.com/bitcoinindo21](https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinindo21)** **🌐 Website: [https://bitcoinindonesia.xyz](https://bitcoinindonesia.xyz/)**

The topic for April is "Water" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus. Sponsored by [Transform Labs](https://www.transformlabs.com/services)

Welcome to the Art School - 20's & 30's artists Meetup group! This is a community for young artists who are passionate about exploring different mediums and techniques in the world of art. Whether you're a painter, sculptor, photographer, or mixed media artist, this group is the perfect place to connect with like-minded individuals, have a space to work on your craft, and showcase your work. Let's inspire and support each other on our artistic journeys! Whether you're a novice or a seasoned artist, all skill levels are welcome. Join us and unleash your creativity! This month we will be discussing **Frank Santoro**, an American cartoonist, painter, and comics critic known for his expressive lines, experimental page layouts, and vibrant use of color. His graphic novels—including *Storeyville*, *Pompeii*, and *Pittsburgh*—blend personal storytelling with innovative visual structure, often exploring memory, place, and relationships. In addition to his comics, Santoro has been an influential voice in comics education and criticism, co-founding the magazine *ComicsComics* and creating the **Santoro Correspondence Course for Comic Book Makers**, which has helped train and inspire a new generation of cartoonists. Afterwards, we will have time to work on our individual art projects, hang out, and if anyone is interested in feedback on their work, there will be time for that as well.

12:45-3:45 p.m. in the Meeting Room, library lowest level, by the drinking fountain. Bring your yarn projects, meet new friends. If you plan to attend, please RSVP yes. If you can’t attend, please change your RSVP to no. This helps anyone who is waitlisted and it allows me to have an accurate count of attendees as our space is quite limited. Plenty of parking in the lot, in the overflow lot across the street, and on the street. See you there!

Do you sometimes feel like you do well in life then something happens and you slide back, never quite getting ahead. At this Meetup you'll find out how to identify what actually causes the lows, the highs and everything in between. More importantly you’ll get the secret of how to gain control over your life so the highs are higher and the lows go away. Wouldn’t it be nice to stop the wild roller coaster ride for good? Or at least make it a fun roller coaster ride, with more ups and downs. There is a hidden factor that will be going over and you’re going to be quite surprised what it is and how much it affects your life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is hosted at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.
