Reducing Friction and Increasing Velocity builds Culture | Ep. 028

Rev and Reed kick off their new cadence of three themed guest episodes followed by a two-host recap. The episode begins with meetup adventure stories from a locked-out South Bend meetup and the four-year (full halving cycle) anniversary of The Western Mass Bitcoin Meetup, plus a look back at what the BitDevs trilogy taught them about cold storage, Fedimint, and Payjoin. From there the conversation turns to what value for value actually measures: velocity as the number of participants times their frequency of interaction, the surprising finding that the biggest zappers on Nostr often send out more than what they take in, and what that says about converting financial capital into social, cultural, intellectual, and experiential capital. The back half applies the permaculture lens of succession to meetup building and a walkthrough of the OnlyBoosts ranking that scores episodes on sats, boosts, and boosters rather than sats alone.
