Leveraging Social Capital in Charlotte & Peru: Charlotte, NC | Ep. 012

Jhonny Delgado joins Reed and Rev to trace his path from lonely Bitcoiner in New York to organizer of Bitcoin Charlotte, Orange Pill Peru, and Motiv Peru - a journey that started with a chance conversation in a mushroom costume at a Burning Man-style party. ⁨Jhonny breaks down how Charlotte's Bitcoin-only culture (rooted in a meetup running since 2013) gave him the template to seed scenes elsewhere, and how Delgado's Fuego hot sauce plus Rocoto, the gold-chained alpaca, became his most reliable orange-pilling tools at markets, conferences, and the Bitcoin Bazaar in Vegas. The conversation touches on the upcoming Local Block Market in Charlotte and the Bitcoin in Espanol event coming up at PubKey in NYC.
