You Can Just Do Things w/Average Gary: Middletown, VA | Ep. 030

Rev and Reed sit down with Average Gary, organizer of the Shenandoah Bitcoin Club, to talk about why he moved his meetup to a low-pressure Saturday "Bitcoin brunch," how consistency built it into a community anchor, and what it means to become the local "Bitcoin guy." Gary also explains how Bitcoin Veterans works as a leaderless, veteran-led network with just two rules (no violence, no shitcoins), and why veterans are well positioned to push the mission forward. The conversation then turns to mining: Gary's work on rotating Coinbase payouts, eHash, and paying into Ark, plus a thought experiment on hyper-local mining pools and zero-fee community blocks, before the crew wraps up with the V4V leaderboards and boosts.
