You Can Just Do Things w/Average Gary: Middletown, VA | Ep. 030 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rev and Reed sit down with Average Gary, organizer of the Shenandoah Bitcoin Club, to talk about why he moved his meetup to a low-pressure Saturday "Bitcoin brunch," how consistency built it into a community anchor, and what it means to become the local "Bitcoin guy." Gary also explains how Bitcoin Veterans works as a leaderless, veteran-led network with just two rules (no violence, no shitcoins), and why veterans are well positioned to push the mission forward. The conversation then turns to mi
Cooking Up Community at Nostr Valley w/Seth: State College, PA | Ep. 029 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Seth joins Rev and Reed to talk about Nostr Valley, the annual Central Pennsylvania gathering he and Derek Ross have grown from a patched-together first year at Happy Valley Brewing into a free three-day event returning October 17th, plus Zap Cooking, the Nostr recipe platform he built around food as the base layer of culture.

Quiet on Quantum Loud on Privacy w/Satsie and Armin: Boston, MA | Ep. 027 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reed and Rev sit down with Satsie and Armin of Boston BitDevs, who trace the meetup's four-year run at Fidelity and MIT and its unusually cryptographer-heavy crowd, including their ten-minute "quantum rule" for reining in the room's favorite recurring tangent. The conversation goes technical, unpacking PayJoin's promise and pitfalls, wallet fingerprinting, Armin's in-progress Fungi protocol, and how AI-assisted "vibe coding" is reshaping (and sometimes frustrating) open-source contribution and m
Fedimint Socratic Seminar w/Justin: Minneapolis, MN | Ep. 026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Justin, organizer of BitDevs Minneapolis and a Fedimint protocol developer, joins us to talk about what a BitDevs meetup is actually for: furthering the community's understanding of Bitcoin without going so deep into the protocol stack that the impact stops landing. From there we go Socratic on Fedimint itself: guardians, gateways, and users as three distinct roles; how eCash notes are backed by an on-chain multisig; why the Lightning gateway is just a special client running a swap service; and
