          As a group, we discuss the latest Bitcoin news from a technical
          perspective. Sometimes diverging into adjacent fields of privacy, self

          This event is not streamed online, to preserve free discussion,
          atmosphere, engagement, and community.

        <p class="mb-8">
          To facillitate optimal free and open discussion, privacy of attendees
          is taken seriously, absolutely no photos/recordings without explicit
          consent from all parties.
