Rev and Reed share stories from their recent Bitcoin meetups and dig into how AI is rapidly becoming part of the Bitcoin culture conversation — from vibe coding to the tools bitcoiners are using to build and connect. The episode explores the "meshtadel" concept, a decentralized mesh of local Bitcoin meetups that together form a resilient, sovereign network no single point of failure can take down. The takeaway is simple: use the tools available to you, grow your local community, and recognize that hyperbitcoinization starts in your own backyard.
