## Resource

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 mentorship. The back half runs through Local Bitcoiners' V4V leaderboards, thirty listener boosts, several featured meetups, and this week's 21K sat giveaway.
