 I still want to start a meetup too. The one I went to was super casual and we just chatted about whatever but eventually it would be cool to host workshops for individuals or businesses, showing how they can start integrating BTC and lightning into their daily lives 
 Absolutely agreed. I would love to work on getting local businesses to have access of the new system. Then having a local community of bitcoiners who frequent these businesses and receive discounts from paying via lighting vs fiat. 

I’m starting to wrap my head around lightning. I need the smart people to make it dumber for me. 
 I can’t wait until it’s a daily thing used for local businesses!! Lightning in principle is really cool and very smart but a lot of the software is unstable and not very intuitive to use. It’s constantly being worked on and improved though! Do you run a node? 
 No i don’t! I’m having a hard time understanding how to set it up and use it. A lot of technical jargon. 😬😬 
 Chat gpt helps so much! Overall it’s pretty confusing but so worth when things finally click!
