Mâcon Bitcoin Meetup: Monthly Networking by the Resilience Academy

The Académie de la Résilience co-organizes a monthly Bitcoin Meetup in Mâcon, France, designed to foster the growth of the Bitcoin community and provide educational resources for users and business owners.

Established in the autumn of 2023, these gatherings occur on the first Wednesday of every month. The initiative aims to connect local Bitcoin users, known as bitcoiners, and provide a space for them to exchange information and learn about the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Objectives and Community Support

The Mâcon Bitcoin Meetup serves several specific goals aimed at increasing the adoption and secure use of the cryptocurrency. These include answering questions from beginners and educating curious individuals on the best practices for utilizing Bitcoin.

From a business perspective, the organizers provide support to local merchants who are interested in accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment.

The organizers act as ambassadors to support the community through technical and educational guidance. To achieve this, they may collaborate with other communities, other ambassadors, and the resource Découvre Bitcoin when necessary.

Operational Structure and Scale

The meetings are structured as informal gatherings in local bars to facilitate networking and connection between residents of Mâcon and the surrounding areas. These events are part of a broader movement of Bitcoin Meetups developing across France, and internationally.

The goal of these distributed meetups is to create “nuclei” of Bitcoin users worldwide. This is accomplished through the organization of meetings and workshops, as well as the provision of free educational resources intended to help people use Bitcoin in a simple and secure manner.

Recent and upcoming sessions for the Mâcon group have been scheduled at Flunch in Mâcon sud, typically starting at 19:30.
