## Resource

Shannon of Columbus Bitcoin joins Rev and Reed to trace how a casual Twitter happy hour grew into a six-year-old meetup with roughly eighty regulars, quarterly "mini conference" events, and a River partnership. The conversation digs into recording speaker talks for YouTube and X and the tricky balance between promoting a meetup with good media while respecting attendee privacy, which Rev frames as documenting the Bitcoin revolution for the historical record. Shannon also previews the two-day Midwest Bitcoin Summit and its overlap with a cannabis and health conference, then shares hard-won organizer advice: stay consistent, make it fun, and step outside the echo chamber to reach the pre-coiners.
