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.

I can't wait for the next meetup in three weeks!
