Upping Your Meetup Game w/Steve, Scott & Tali: Louisville, KY | Ep. 018

Reed and Rev sit down with Steve, Scott, and Tali of the Louisville Bitcoin Network to wrestle with a question every organizer eventually hits: is your meetup for spreading Bitcoin to newcomers, or for building deep relationships among the Bitcoiners you already have? The conversation moves through the technical-versus-social tension of a bit devs format, the struggle to draw in women and non-technical attendees, and Scott's philosophy of designing Bitcoin tabletop games like HODL UP as low-friction on-ramps. Tali's takeaway anchors it all: pick your mission, stop apologizing for the one you didn't choose, and the right people will show up.
