A free, in-person meetup for people who are new to bitcoin or just getting started, hosted by Beginning with Bitcoin as part of its Bitcoin for Beginners First Tuesday series. The evening follows a simple winter schedule: 6:30 to 6:45 PM for food, drinks and conversation; 6:45 to 7:45 PM for the Bitcoin for Beginners presentation with time for questions throughout; and 7:45 to 8:00 PM for dedicated Q and A. The talk works through the questions most newcomers arrive with -- what bitcoin actually is, what the blockchain is, how bitcoin differs from other cryptocurrencies, how to buy it and hold it in self-custody, why it has value, and what terms like decentralized, peer-to-peer, immutable and unconfiscatable really mean. Everyone is welcome and attendance is free; RSVP through Eventbrite or Meetup. Held at Dick's Primal Burger on SE Woodstock Blvd, which serves locally sourced food and drinks with vegan and vegetarian options.
