Bitcoin Book Club: The Fourth Turning
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 Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy* by William Strauss and Neil Howe. In this session, we’ll explore one of the most influential modern frameworks for understanding historical cycles and generational change—and why its predictions seem increasingly relevant today.
Strauss and Howe propose that history moves in recurring cycles, or “turnings,” each lasting roughly 20–25 years and shaped by generational archetypes. According to their model, societies pass through four phases: a High, an Awakening, an Unraveling, and finally a Crisis—the “Fourth Turning.” This final phase is marked by institutional breakdown, social upheaval, and a restructuring of the political and economic order. We’ll discuss where we might currently sit within this cycle, how past Fourth Turnings (like the Great Depression and World War II era) unfolded, and what this framework suggests about the coming decade.
For those interested in macro trends, generational dynamics, and long-term historical patterns, this book offers a provocative lens for interpreting today’s instability—and what may come next.

**Event Notes:**
* Discussion Starters: We’ll kick things off with a few key questions around generational cycles and crisis periods, 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!

Stop Being the Bottleneck: Live Leadership Session with Dr. Al Philip-Neri
Most agents think scaling a business will eventually create freedom.
Instead, many end up with more people, more pressure, and even less time.
On Wednesday, May 27 at 8:00 PM EST, join us live for a conversation with Dr. Al Philip-Neri, Performance Psychologist, Realtor, and real estate operator with investments across 21 U.S. markets.
This session is focused on the execution side of business growth:
• Leadership
• Hiring
• Systems
• Accountability
• Operational structure
Not motivational fluff. Not generic mindset talk.
This is a practical conversation about what it actually takes to stop being the bottleneck in your own business and build something that can operate without you carrying every moving part yourself.
In this live session, we'll discuss:
✔ Why growth does not automatically create freedom
✔ The hidden reason your business still depends on you
✔ How the wrong hires quietly slow momentum and execution
✔ What changes when the right people are in the right roles
✔ How to transition from operator to true business owner
This session is ideal for:
• Brokerage owners
• Team leaders
• Agents building toward a team
• Growth-minded entrepreneurs
This is a live Zoom event only. No replay will be available.
Please register through Zoom after RSVP'ing on Meetup so you receive the login link.

Diaspora Roundtable - An intimate evening of dialogue & elevated dining
[Reserve Your Seat Now](https://DiasporaRoundtableDC.eventbrite.com/?aff=MU)
A Curated Diaspora Dialogue in a Refined African Dining Setting
In partnership with Afropolitan Cities & Breathing Art Studio, Ahaspora brings you the 2nd edition of the Diaspora Roundtable 2026 — Africa Day Edition — an intimate, high-level evening of dialogue, connection, inspiration, and cultural experience.
📍 The Continent DC
📅 Thursday, May 28, 2026
🕔 5:00 PM (EST)
Taking place during Africa Day Week, this special edition brings together leading voices across the African Diaspora for a powerful exchange. This Diaspora talk series is designed to spotlight the global impact of Africa’s Diaspora, while exploring how diaspora communities are shaping narratives, driving innovation, and unlocking real pathways for engagement, investment, and long-term collaboration across the continent.
Through curated dialogue and storytelling, the roundtable creates space for honest perspectives, shared experiences, and forward-thinking ideas — connecting those who are building, investing, and influencing across borders.
This gathering is part of the Ahaspora in the USA series — an ongoing initiative focused on strengthening diaspora engagement, building meaningful bridges between Africa and the world, and positioning Africa as a central player in the global future.
Set within one of Washington, DC’s premier African fine dining destinations, the experience blends thoughtful conversation with a refined culinary atmosphere — creating an intimate environment that is as elevated as it is engaging.
What to Expect:
• A dynamic, high-level roundtable conversation with leading diaspora voices
• A refined dining experience in a culturally immersive setting
• Thought-provoking insights on influence, investment, and Africa–Diaspora collaboration
• Meaningful networking with leading voices, founders, professionals, creatives, and cultural leaders
Because the future of Africa’s global story will not be written in isolation —
it will be shaped through connection, collaboration, and action across the Diaspora.
VALLEY TRAIL AND WESTERN RIDGE LOOP - A Moderate 5 mile hike
This moderate hike begins at Meadowbrook Park in Montgomery County, MD. Enjoy the quiet woodland trails and creek views which are a hidden joy in this northern section of DC’s Rock Creek Park. We may see woodpeckers, waterbirds and other wildlife, along with lingering wildflowers as we hike. The path will take us into DC at the boundary bridge and we will travel the Valley trail, then cross over one of the small bridges that span Rock Creek to the Western Ridge trail for our return. This peaceful walk along Rock Creek and through mature woodlands has rolling hills with several ups and downs, and a steam crossing or two. Poles might come in handy for the stream crossings and some of the steeper sections, but are not strictly necessary. Most of the trail is natural surface with some rocks and roots, so please wear appropriate footwear.

Speak Fluent Wine: Learn How to Taste Like A Professional
**\*\*You must purchase a ticket [here](https://sommcircle.clubexpress.com/content.aspx?page_id=4002&club_id=650343&item_id=2926832). \*\***
Ever find yourself nodding along at a wine tasting, wishing you knew what to actually say — or even what to look for?
This is the evening that changes that.
Speak Fluent Wine is a hands-on tasting experience designed to teach you the exact framework wine professionals use to evaluate what's in the glass. You'll go from "I just know what I like" to understanding \*why\* you like it — and having the words to say so.
Here's what we'll cover:
?? Sight — What color and clarity reveal before the first sip
?? Nose — How to train your sense of smell and identify aromas with confidence
?? Palate — Decoding what your taste buds are picking up: sweetness, acidity, tannins, body, and finish
?? Structure — How the elements of a wine interact, including how acidity softens sweetness and tames tannins
??? Language — The vocabulary professionals use, demystified and made practical
Once we've broken down the framework, Total Wine's expert staff will lead a short guided tasting — putting everything you've just learned directly into practice.
Snacks and water will be provided. Cost is $25
No experience necessary. No judgement. Just great wine, a welcoming atmosphere, and the confidence you've been waiting to find.
**\*\*You must purchase a ticket [here](https://sommcircle.clubexpress.com/content.aspx?page_id=4002&club_id=650343&item_id=2926832). \*\***

Profs & Pints Northern Virginia: Artemis II and Beyond
[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“Artemis II and Beyond,”** on how the recent space mission fits into long-term plans for the Moon, with Michael J. Neufeld, retired senior curator for the Space History Department of the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum.
[Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/northern-virginia-artemis-ii-beyond](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/northern-virginia-artemis-ii-beyond) .]
NASA’s recent, spectacular Artemis II mission is a sign that the United States is serious about sending humans to the Moon again.
Gain an understanding of how Artemis II fits in both past and planned lunar missions with historian Michael Neufeld, who was lead curator of the Smithsonian’s Destination Moon exhibit. He has taught at Johns Hopkins, Colgate, and other universities, and is the author or editor of nine books dealing with the history of technology.
He’ll start by looking at the aftermath of the Apollo program of a half century ago and why it ended only four years after its first lunar mission. He’ll consider why no lasting lunar programs emerged from major announcements by two presidents, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, that astronauts would be going back to the Moon and on to Mars.
His vividly illustrated lecture will then explore how Artemis is a product of a human spaceflight program that has changed dramatically over the past 50 years. We’ll look at how collaboration with Europe, Canada and Japan became integral to the shuttle and International Space Station programs, and how the rise of new commercial space companies such as SpaceX has enabled NASA to buy both space services and space craft.
Both international and commercial partners are involved in the latest Moon efforts, with SpaceX and Blue Origin expected to supply the landers to take astronauts down to a planned base on the Moon’s South Pole. How soon will any of this happen? Probably not as quickly as NASA says, but the specter of a Chinese landing on the Moon by 2030 is one obvious reason to keep things moving along.
We’ll look at the sustainability of the Artemis space program for at least the next decade or so. You’ll emerge from the talk with no doubt that exciting days are ahead for space fans. (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.)

**ONLINE** Mindfulness Meditation with Hugh Byrne
**NOW ONLINE**
The weekly Sunday morning (10:30 am to 12 noon) class begins with a welcome, short reflection on an aspect of the teachings, and includes an arriving meditation (15 minutes) that will often incorporate poems and may end with a reflection or question.
The opening meditation is followed by an invitation to each person to share their name and a few words (for example, what is alive for them right now or what their intention is for the class or the day). The sharing has been a powerful support to help welcome new people, get to know each other, and build community/sangha.
Following a brief period of mindful stretching/movement, we finish with a longer meditation (25-30 minutes) and final reflections on the teachings, sharing, Q&A, and announcements. Class participants are welcome to stay and engage with other members of the community or adjourn to a neighboring restaurant or coffee shop.
This space is inclusive, everyone is welcome, and we invite you to bring with you all aspects of yourself.

"Man And His Symbols" by Carl Jung
Join us for reading the classic "Man And His Symbols" by Carl Jung!
To make the discussion the best it can be, please read as much of the book as you can before attending the meeting.
We'll start the meeting with each person sharing their name and something they found interesting or helpful, then have open discussion.
Here's the Amazon description:
"The landmark text about the inner workings of the unconscious mind—from the symbolism that unlocks the meaning of our dreams to their effect on our waking lives and artistic impulses
“What emerges with great clarity from the book is that Jung has done immense service both to psychology as a science and to our general understanding of man in society.”—The Guardian
“Our psyche is part of nature, and its enigma is limitless.”
Since our inception, humanity has looked to dreams for guidance. But what are they? How can we understand them? And how can we use them to shape our lives?
There is perhaps no one more equipped to answer these questions than the legendary psychologist Carl G. Jung. It is in his life’s work that the unconscious mind comes to be understood as an expansive, rich world just as vital and true a part of the mind as the conscious, and it is in our dreams—those personal, integral expressions of our deepest selves—that it communicates itself to us.
A seminal text written explicitly for the general reader, Man and His Symbols is a guide to understanding our dreams and interrogating the many facets of identity—our egos and our shadows, “the dark side of our natures.” Full of fascinating case studies and examples pulled from philosophy, history, myth, fairy tales, and more, this groundbreaking work—profusely illustrated with hundreds of visual examples—offers invaluable insight into the symbols we dream that demand understanding, why we seek meaning at all, and how these very symbols affect our lives. Armed with the knowledge of the self and our shadow, we may build fuller, more receptive lives.
By illuminating the means to examine our prejudices, interpret psychological meanings, break free of our influences, and recenter our individuality, Man and His Symbols proves to be—decades after its conception—a revelatory, absorbing, and relevant experience. "

Jules and Jim, the Book!
By popular demand, the group wanted to read and discuss the semi-autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, that inspired the Truffaut movie we watched last year.
The book is available through the Columbus Library's interlibrary loan system. They reported there are twenty-eight copies available in the state of Ohio. If you have a library card, you can file an interlibrary loan request here: https://www.columbuslibrary.org/library-services/ . There are also used copies available on Amazon and eBay for under twenty dollars.
You may want to rewatch the movie after reading the book, so we can compare and contrast in our discussion. The Columbus Library has four copies on DVD, and it's streaming on HBOMax.
