The Minneapolis Bitcoin Meetup gathers on March 18th at O’Shaughnessy Distilling to tackle the rise of agentic payments — and what it means when AI stops asking for permission and starts spending money on its own.
Brandon Quittem, Andre Schu, and Alec Papierniak will take the stage for a panel that cuts through the noise around AI and Bitcoin. The conversation spans the real intersection between the two technologies, which agentic payment use cases are already materializing vs. which are still vaporware, and why autonomous AI agents may ultimately need Bitcoin as their native money to operate at scale.
Pour something from the distillery, pull up a seat, and join a room full of people who are paying close attention to where this is all heading.
The Minneapolis Bitcoin Meetup meets monthly for open, straightforward conversations about Bitcoin. Experience level doesn’t matter—first-timers and long-time Bitcoiners share the same table, compare notes, and learn from each other.
The group gathers in a private upstairs room at O’Shaughnessy Distilling. There’s no RSVP and no formal agenda. Show up, grab a drink or some food, and jump into the discussion at your own pace. The focus stays on good conversation and building a stronger local Bitcoin community.
