Episode Details

In this episode, Reed and Rev sit down with Cory (a.k.a Boomer), the organizer of the Ottawa Bitcoin meetup: Capital Bitcoiners. The conversation covers the state of local meetup culture during a bear market, including encouraging stories of recent surges in turnout and enthusiasm at their respective meetups. Cory also gives a behind-the-scenes look at how he structures Ottawa's two monthly events, Bitcoin Basics for newcomers and Bitcoin Builders for developers and veterans, and makes the case for why showing up, rain or shine, is what keeps the Bitcoin community strong.
