Summary
Jacob from the Indy Bitcoin Meetup joins Rev and Reed to trace a five-year run built on one thing above all - consistency, the third Wednesday of every month without a single miss - and a running joke that all their good fortune is just "getting lucky." Along the way the meetup has birthed a mining company (Megawatt), put 75+ home nodes into the wild, spun off a Lightning Social night, and cultivated a genuine local economy of buying, selling, and proof-of-work reputation-building. In an extended second half, Rev and Reed swap the usual V4V boosts segment for a workshop on the community-building tools behind localbitcoiners.com which uses Nostr identities, follow packs, and community feeds to demarcate a culture and turn a podcast audience into a real nostr community.
