“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” And I am a Pioneer.

On my way into work, which I should’ve taken it off for Christmas Eve. But I agreed to come in for a half day for a crane pick, which is absolutely ridiculous that they even scheduled this for Christmas Eve but whatever I didn’t feel like punching anyone in the mouth from the job site yesterday. I’m fumbling around with my banana in my coffee. My lunchbox is not unzipping and I’m thinking to myself what the flying fuck am I doing?!! and then I hear Max and John coming over my speakers and I get a sense of calm over myself. Thank you you 2 retard for being yourselves. I forgot how nice it is hearing two retards as retarded as I am speaking about bitcoin and life. I truly appreciate you 2 retards and Jordan too.

    The episode that started it all! This is a solid foundation episode for anyone who wants to get their meetup up and running. At Cleveland Bitcoin we use Club Orange and X. We used Meetup.com at some point too. But once you are consistent and a few core people stick then word of mouth really gets them to your meetups. By the way, our group has a website.
