What would you say the risk is if somebody nefarious knew I sold $5000 worth of Bitcoin on a specific day? Looking at the group, they would not know who I sold it to, or where we met, or what the specifics of the deal were
Is this because of regulation, or because Americans seem to still stubbornly resist using Bitcoin as money?
Some groups are really small, others have a constant turnout of about 20-30 people, only one meetup has had more than 100 people attend regularly. Over the past year, I haven't notice an increase in the number of attendees, but maybe there are more people joining these, and we don't notice because the number of groups has increased.
We did host a block party in September (free entry, about 300 people dropped by), and a halving party (ticketed, about 120 people joined)
The average housing price in the US is less than US$500k. And as we learn from the infographic above, the average house in the US is humongous. I didn't find good data on the walking distance to the nearest pub, but 2/3 of Americans live in suburbs or rural areas, where they may at maximum find a gas station within walking distance.
In America most can afford a large house and car, but only the top 1% can afford to live in walking distance to a pub
Sounds like an awesome trip! One awesome memory I like to hold on to is when I took trains from Hong Kong to Berlin.
