Let's be tourists for one day! Vol. III š SATURDAY CITY EXPLORE with JakFri
Hey, friend in Jakarta! Now that you joined JakFri... **are you a member of [Jakarta Writers (former Creatives)](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-creatives/) yet?** Want to see **pictures** of past events? **[Take a look here!](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/photos/)** And feel free to upload a few pictures you might take at the event š
JakFri and JakCre are **the** biggest, oldest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta... and we invite you to join us for a **FREE CITY EXPLORE & dinner in South Jakarta!**
Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle.
Come as you are... Itās the best version of yourself.
**ABOUT THE EVENT**
Let's play tourists for a day. On March 14th this year, **BENDERA PUSAKA PARK** was officially opened by the Governor of DKI Jakarta along with Megawati Soekarnoputri, the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia.
This Park in South Jakarta combines three iconic parksāAyodya Park, Langsat Park, and Leuser Parkāinto a single, integrated 5.6-hectare green open space (RTH). They have a beautiful Skybridge, free sports facilities + playgrounds, and are open 24 hours.
We'll start from **Gate D** (in front of Tuang Coffee), and then take a break at **Ayodya Park** watching the sunset before heading to the restaurant for dinner.
Here is the meeting point:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/BDtDzXPgo9Cg6wco7
If you want to join only for dinner at the venue (see below šš½), it's possible, but it's your responsibility to find the group and wait to have a free seat at the restaurant, etc. (the group cannot wait for you!)
**We have organised this event before! Take a look here:**

* [Let's be tourists for one day! Vol. I š SATURDAY CITY TOUR with Jakarta Friends](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/events/312589863)
**ABOUT THE VENUE**
After exploring the **Bendera Pusaka Park**, we'll stroll over to an Indonesian cuisine called AROEM (a roughly 5-minute walk). We can choose to order food to share or select individual dishes; weāll make that decision together when we get there.

Bitcoin Indonesia Community Meetup Bekasi 12 April 2026
š **Hei, kamu yang lagi ngeliatin chart merah dan nggak tau harus ngapain...**
ā
Diam? Jual? Nunggu? Kebanyakan orang milih panik. Tapi ada satu kebiasaan sederhana yang justru paling powerful dilakuin pas kondisi lagi kayak gini ā dan namanya DCA. šā”ļøš
āDi meetup kali ini kita bakal ngobrol santai soal **manfaat strategi DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) saat fase bear market**ācara sederhana yang sering dipakai banyak orang untuk tetap konsisten tanpa harus pusing menebak harga. š
āKita bahas bagaimana DCA bekerja, kenapa strategi ini sering dianggap lebih tenang di tengah pasar yang naik turun, dan bagaimana cara melihatnya dari perspektif jangka panjang.
ā
Nggak perlu jadi trader atau ahli market. Cukup datang dengan rasa penasaran, ngobrol bareng komunitas, dan lihat bagaimana strategi sederhana bisa membantu menghadapi pasar dengan lebih tenang.
āš§” Karena di Bitcoin, konsistensi sering kali lebih penting daripada mencoba menebak waktu yang āsempurnaā.
āSampai jumpa di meetup!

This month's prompt concerns the idea of the āwarrior philosopherā (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism")
Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critiqueāwhether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., āconscriptā capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war).
Butlerās life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusaderāand asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
