Join us for the Lightning Social, a monthly gathering from the Indy Bitcoin Meetup focused on supporting local businesses that accept Bitcoin.
This month’s Lightning Social will be held at Steak ‘n Shake Downtown on Saturday, May 16th from 12pm–2pm.
For more than four years, the Indy Bitcoin Meetup has brought together people across central Indiana who are interested in Bitcoin, from beginners to long-time Bitcoiners. The Lightning Social is a more casual extension of that community.
Each month we meet at a different local business that accepts Bitcoin so we can support them directly and vote with our sats. It is a chance to show merchants that accepting Bitcoin brings real customers through the door.
This event is purely social. No presentations and no agenda. Just good conversation, food, and the opportunity to spend Bitcoin using Lightning.
Whether you are new to Bitcoin, have been running a Lightning wallet for years, or are simply curious how it works, you are welcome to join.
What to expect:
• Meet and connect with local Bitcoiners
• Support businesses that accept Bitcoin
• Pay with Lightning if you would like
• Casual conversations about Bitcoin and freedom tech
RSVP preferred but not required. Feel free to just show up.
Bring a friend, bring your Lightning wallet, and come hang out.
