Rev and Reed go guestless for a deep-dive into the mechanics of Bitcoin meetup culture, tackling circular economies (and the unsolved problem of creating payment splits on physical goods), "proof of reputation" as the social capital that makes local communities trustworthy, and a frank breakdown of OPSEC and wrench-attack risk that argues the upside of showing up vastly outweighs the low-probability downside. Rev then walks through his exact playbook for selling Bitcoin for cash at a meetup. The episode closes with an extended V4V segment covering the leaderboards, boosts, new localbitcoiners.com features, and shout-outs to a cohort of Nostr-native podcasts (YATA, The 49th Parallel & The Open Markets Podcast) building alongside the show.
