The Western Mass Bitcoin Meetup is a monthly gathering built around a Socratic Seminar format, focused on discussing Bitcoin news and other relevant topics shaping the ecosystem.
The evening begins with 30 minutes of socializing, with pizza and drinks available for purchase, followed by structured discussion on the month’s selected topics. This format encourages thoughtful dialogue and critical thinking, making it an excellent opportunity to explore why Bitcoin continues to grow and thrive—despite repeated claims of its demise by the incumbent financial system.
The meetup is open to everyone, from complete newcomers to experienced Bitcoiners. Find knowledgeable members ready to help level up understanding around self-custody, Lightning, mining, and more. Come learn, ask questions, and take part in meaningful Bitcoin-focused conversation.
Follow us on Social Media (Twitter or Nostr) to keep the discussion going and weigh in on dates and locations for future meetups, or explore our website: https://westernmassbitcoin.com/
