I don't like that it says "Exclusively for Marcy Residents". If I tried to do something similar like only for _____________, I'd be called out for Racism, Sexism, Classism, etc.
If they only allow Marcy residents to participate then they should just promote it in the lobby.
There are plenty of bitcoin meetups/events happening around the world. No need to fake an address at the Marcy project to attend this one. Lol.

In Austin TX, there's a pretty big bitcoiner scene. There's a co-working/community event place called
The Bitcoin Commons where two bitcoin related shows are aired live every Friday. The shows:
Stacker News (which is like Y Combinator's
Hacker News, but for bitcoin related news/discussions)
PBS (Pleb Broadcasting Service). You can sit in as an audience member for this one. Heard they serve free tacos and drinks.
It’s a damn Ponzi scheme anyway. All crypto is imo. Get in right in time for the rug pull.
I'd say this is true of, at least, 90% of crypto out there. Shame bitcoin gets lumped in this mess.

^ That site lists the costliest crypto hacks/exploits of all time. You'll see examples that happened on Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Fantom, Binance Smart Chain, Thorchain, Harmony, etc, but you won't find bitcoin in this list. Not saying that bullshyt won't ever happen on bitcoin though. I'm starting to see signs that it's definitely a possibility. Those signs would be the Taro upgrade to bitcoin which, theoretically, allows the use of non-bitcoin stablecoins on the network. Another example is Stacks (STX) which I would call a "bitcoin adjacent" (it's not built on bitcoin though) shytcoin scam, same as the majority of them.
It's hard to make the case for bitcoin to people who live in countries where significant currency value debasement due to high inflation isn't felt the way it is in many developing countries. It's not surprising that bitcoin/crypto usage is highest in countries experiencing really bad inflation, like Nigeria, Argentina, Venezuela, Turkey.
