About a month ago I came to know about a local meetup about Bitcoin. The group only meets every three weeks and I couldn't attend the first meetup.
The meeting today was at 4:00pm and I had another meeting, which started at 2:00pm. I figured it would be completed by 3:45 at the latest so that I could get to the Bitcoin meetup by the time it started.
Well, my first meeting did not finish until about 4:30pm so I was a good bit late to the Bitcoin meetup. The meeting was in a small office and there were only 9 of us in the meeting.
Some notes from the meeting:
Everyone preferred Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash
Many of the group members do not believe in Ethereum
There were no females in attendance
Two of the guys there had heard of Steem/Steemit, but neither were active on it
All of the members see the future for Bitcoin and Blockchain technology to be extremely bright
Bittrex seemed to be the preferred exchange
Many of the members did not invest in altcoins at all and instead stuck with the blue chips
There was maybe 1 programmer in the bunch and the rest were pure investors
The average age was probably 35-40 years old
I hope the group will continue to grow and others can learn more about Bitcoin and Blockchain. I have a feeling the group will grow as more people are introduced to cryptocurrencies.
