Building Bitcoin Communities

"We've planted our orange flag in the ground. We've made it known this is a space where we will try to propagate and spread the mission, values and ethos of Bitcoin. And we hope that not only spreads to other cities around the country or the world, but we really view this as a greater movement of how we can really take back our cities.

We do need to organize and align ourselves. You know, online, but when it actually comes time to take action, the in real life aspect can't be understated. And, you know, you need to lock arms as a collective and move forward. Supporting cause that is bigger than oneself. And to the younger generation, I think that's something they really crave. I think the space is really going to give them an outlet to contribute their skills to something that will live beyond them."

- Wyatt O'Rourke

While we always talk about the new network, how we can build Nostr, use Keet, implement new OP_CODES, and solve all of our problems with some new software or protocol, something really important can get left out of the conversation.

Everything in the Bitcoin Revolution really begins and ends in real life. What does it take to bring bit coiners together in the real world, make a real life space sustainable, and build a true community in a world severely lacking it. Today we chat with a good friend and valuable builder in Bitcoin, Wyatt O'Rourke.
