Charleston Bitcoin Meetup – January 13 – Bitcoin Hardware Wallet Basics

Start off the New Year with some knowledge! Come out to socialize and learn about Bitcoin hardware wallets – what they are, why they are important, how to use them, what to do with them. Closer to the event, I will send out a sign-up to pre-order hardware wallets. This is part 1 of 2 meetings covering the topic – part 2 in February will be seed phrase storage and devices.

🌟 Join us every month at Noon for a Charleston Bitcoin Meetup at Charleston Distilling Co on Johns Island! 🚀

Jan 13 – Explore Bitcoin hardware wallets – why do it, and how to do it properly. Part 1 of 2 – Hardware Wallets and Seed Phrase Storage
Feb 10 – Explore Seed Phrase Storage – why do it, and how to do it properly. Part 2 of 2 – Hardware Wallets and Seed Phrase Storage

💰 Pay with Bitcoin: Charleston Distilling Company is taking a leap into the digital payments future. You can now use your Bitcoin to pay for drinks and food at the bar, making it a true Bitcoin business! 💸

Charleston Distilling will provide beverages (beer, liquor, soft drinks) from their bar, and food from their food truck featuring Street Tacos and Sushi rolls. Pay in Bitcoin, or credit cards.

Come join fellow bitcoiners and explore the bitcoin economy! If you’ve never spent bitcoin on the lightning network then come experience instant payments, without credit cards, without banks, just between you and the business owner!

If you don’t have any Bitcoin but want to participate, you can buy Bitcoin thru an Azteco Bitcoin voucher, download a Bitcoin wallet to hold your funds and spend them as you want. We are here to help you figure it out!

Bitcoin. The store of value asset. The medium of exchange. The ledger of accounts. It’s a lot of things to each person. Come learn about this amazing technical innovation that is providing fast payments, cross border remittances, a bank to the unbanked, freedom to individuals, and potential fixes to a lot of what is broken in the world (hint: it usually deals with money).

Bring your friends and bring your questions. This is a lively group with Bitcoiners of all levels from experts to plebs to no-coiners – come hang out and learn why Bitcoin is better.

Discuss bitcoin and related topics over some good food and drinks. Meet and talk with people interested in the exciting financial technology of Bitcoin. Primary goals are to promote Bitcoin locally in the Charleston community and help teach what Bitcoin and related technology is all about throughout South Carolina and it’s emerging tech scene.
