Education First
We are passionate about teaching people about what Bitcoin is and how it works.
Open Community
Whether you've just heard of Bitcoin and want to learn more, or you've been in the space for years — you belong here.
Self-Sovereignty
Bitcoin is permissionless, censorship-resistant, and seizure-resistant money — not an investment. "Not your keys, not your coins." We teach self-custody, privacy best practices, and using Bitcoin as money.
Local Roots
This meetup was started in 2024 out of a passion for Bitcoin and a desire to meet other Bitcoiners in person. We hope to continue building relationships with like-minded individuals and growing the Columbia, SC Bitcoin community.
Our Story
Columbia, SC Bitcoin Meetup was started in 2024 out of a desire to discuss Bitcoin and freedom tech with people in person. Although there are ample communities and platforms online to discuss Bitcoin, there was not an active in-person Bitcoin meetup within 2 hours of Columbia.
We feel strongly about the importance of meeting like-minded individuals in person and learning more about a technology that takes some power back from the state and returns it to the individual: Bitcoin.
