We'll have a more informal get-together this month, offering an introductory workshop for newcomers, as well as the opportunity to have a discussion round about news and current events in the bitcoin and blockchain space.
We usually do this format when we don't find specific speakers for our monthly workshop/talks event.
We'll be kindly hosted (again) by the German Pirate Party this time. They have rooms with all the necessary equipment in the Northern part of Munich. Thanks very much!
(We are not affiliated with the Pirate Party, nor are we affiliated with the locations and hosts of past or future events.)

Interactive dialog with our newcomers today about what they already know and want to learn. Advanced-level attendees are asked to assist. Learning by teaching, there's always something new to discover for all of us. We have slides and websites ready to demonstrate and show most of the subject matters.
At a meta-level: Are wallet install parties still feasible in times of high fees? For demoing transactions and block explorers, should we sidestep into altcoins for the time being? If so, which?

Originally we had planned an event with Abra this month, but this has been indefinitely postponed due to "product delays".
In Malaysia, crypto meetups are frequented by ponzi/MLM jokers. Do you have the same problem there?

indeed, yes. We had discussions with them, but some seem really deluded, some seem to be open to change their minds, some even come to our meetups because they've first heard about Bitcoin in the context of cloud mining scams and want to find out what it actually is. We often include this in our introductions now, referring to the long-standing crypto-activist phrase "if you don't hold it, you don't own it!".

It's a crazy trend that damages the crypto reputation. Well I guess we have to face this issue for the coming few years until things get regulated. thanks.
