The Great Mid-Atlantic Bitcoin Meetup @ PubKey DC is the first-ever gathering of builders, organizers, and freedom-minded thinkers from across the region, coming together to strengthen grassroots networks driving Bitcoin forward in the real world.
🗺️ From NYC to North Carolina, from the Jersey Shore to the Shenandoah Valley, local groups are doing incredible work to spread Bitcoin adoption. Now, for the first time, we’re gathering everyone in the Nation’s Capital to swap insights, forge connections, and launch new partnerships.
💡 Expect an evening filled with big ideas, real stories, and special guest speakers from across the Mid-Atlantic. They will share what they’ve learned about community building, merchant adoption, education, and the broader freedom tech movement.
🍔 Come grab a drink & smashburger, meet fellow builders, and help kick off what could become the strongest regional Bitcoin network in the country. The event will be livestreamed across PubKey’s channels so that anyone can join the conversation.
