**Curious about Bitcoin but tired of the hype, the jargon, and the noise?** Join us for the very first meetup of **Wealth Building and Alternative Investments** — an evening built for everyday investors who want to understand Bitcoin clearly and, just as importantly, learn how to hold it safely. Whether you already own some Bitcoin, are thinking about your first purchase, or just want to understand what all the fuss is about, this session meets you where you are. No prior experience needed. **What we'll cover:** * Why money keeps changing — and what inflation and rising debt mean for your savings * What actually makes Bitcoin different from the thousands of other "cryptos" out there * The crucial difference between *owning* Bitcoin and holding an IOU (the lesson FTX taught the hard way) * ETFs vs. true ownership — what you really have when you "own" Bitcoin * How to store and secure your Bitcoin so your keys are truly yours * Practical first steps you can take right away **About our speaker:** Niko Stines is a Bitcoin security consultant and the founder of Hard Block Consulting. Drawing on nearly a decade in the Bitcoin industry, he specializes in helping everyday investors understand and secure their Bitcoin — without the hype or the jargon. His work centers on a simple idea: self-custody is a skill anyone can learn, and owning your keys is the difference between holding Bitcoin and holding a promise. Come with your questions. Leave knowing more than most investors ever will. ☕ Free to attend · All experience levels welcome 🗓️ Tuesday, June 23, 2026 · 6:00–8:00 PM 📍 The Wonderland Ballroom · 1101 Kenyon St NW, Washington, DC 20010

Join the Bitcoin District Book Club! We meet every month to explore new and exciting rabbit holes by reading books that are popular with bitcoiners. Join us for a deep dive into *The Deficit Myth: Modern Monetary Theory and the Birth of the People's Economy* by Stephanie Kelton. In this session, we’ll explore one of the most controversial and influential economic ideas of the past decade—and what it means for government spending, inflation, taxation, and the future of money. Kelton challenges the conventional view that governments must balance their budgets like households. Drawing on the principles of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), she argues that countries that issue their own currency are not constrained by tax revenue or borrowing in the same way individuals, businesses, or local governments are. Instead, the real limits on government spending are inflation and the availability of real-world resources. We'll discuss the core claims of MMT, including whether deficits are actually harmful, why governments issue bonds, the role taxes play in the economy, and how policymakers should think about public investment. We'll also examine the major criticisms of MMT and consider how Kelton's ideas relate to Bitcoin, sound money, inflation, and fiscal policy. Whether you view MMT as a revolutionary framework or a dangerous justification for endless money printing, *The Deficit Myth* provides one of the clearest explanations of the ideas shaping modern debates about deficits, inflation, and government spending. For those interested in economics, monetary systems, public policy, and competing visions of how money works, this book offers a provocative challenge to many widely held assumptions. Buy the book on [Amazon](https://a.co/d/0jgks9ZG) **Event Notes:** * Discussion Starters: We'll kick things off with a few key questions around deficits, inflation, government spending, and Modern Monetary Theory, but feel free to bring your own perspectives. * Future Reads: Let us know if you have recommendations for future book club selections! We'll add them to the list posted [on our website](https://bitcoindistrict.org/bookclub). * Afterwards: Feel free to join us at PubKey after the meeting to hang out, continue the conversation, and grab some food! **Getting There:** * 📍 Teaism – Penn Quarter * 🔴🟢🟡 Gallery Place/Chinatown + 2 min walk * Parking: Street & garage parking available nearby

**Tired of surface-level conversations?** Join us for *Ditch the Small Talk*—an evening of deep, real connection with strangers who are down to go there. We’ll meet in the grass in front of the cathedral, break into small groups, and draw questions from a deck of cards designed to spark vulnerable, honest conversations. How it works: Draw a card and ask a question. Listen. Don't coach or give advice without permission. Try to ask follow-up questions when people share. You can spend 1 minute on a question or 1 hour, just go with the flow. **If you show up late, please don't interrupt the speaker. Just sit down in a group of your choice and they'll bring you up to speed when whoever is talking finishes. Bring a blanket or chair if you don't want to sit in the grass. *** Rules*** 1. Don't debate politics 2. Keep what is shared in the group within the group 3. If you need to use your phone, step away from your group first

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event!

Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.

Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
