Bitcoin's Tipping Point Could Come Soon http://bitcoinmagazine.com/9454/bitcoins-tipping-point-come-soon/ Join The Sacramento Region Bitcoin Meetup http://www.meetup.com/Sacramento-Region-Bitcoin-Meetup/ We're going to meet up every other week at a local pizza place and devise a strategy to increase the acceptance of Bitcoin in the Sacramento region. Northern California is going to turn on to Bitcoin in a big way in 2014 thanks to the hard work of the Sacramento Region Bitcoin Meetup. All it takes is for you to start a meetup in your area. No one else is going to do it. The person we've been waiting for is you. Now get to work. Start a meetup, tell your online friends and let's get going. Print out a copy of CoinMap and declare your intention to add more businesses to that map. Together we are going to make 2014 the year of Bitcoin Adoption. Boots on the ground people. Plans to be published soon. Post details about your meetup in the comments or on Twitter and I'll mention it on the show. Doesn't matter where it is, where you live, there are bitcoiners around you and there are even more people who are curious and who want to become bitcoiners. All they need is a little bit of help from you. And if you believe in Bitcoin, like I believe in Bitcoin it's now time to give that little bit of help, to give bitcoin the push that only you can give it. Sure, I won't fix your computer, but I'll help you install a wallet, accept a few bits through a coinbase email or even launch you a few satoshis through text message with a coinapult account. It's easier than ever to accept bitcoin, to hold bitcoin and to spend bitcoin. That means that bitcoin is transforming and becoming more and more real. No longer is it just a post on slashdot, just a white paper, just an online exchange, just a wallet, just a coinbase account. Bitcoin is a real living working alternative currency system not from any sci-fi movie or Phillip K. Dick novel. Bitcoin is a real thing. And we're gonna make it more real, together. Join your local Bitcoin Meetup today. If there's not one, start one. Together we will spread Bitcoin Awareness in 2014. Light up the Coinmap. Change the world. I can only do it with your help. Join up, Start up, get on board. Bitcoin needs you! You're the ones we've been waiting for. Bitcoin Uber Alles. Bitcoin for all. 2014. The Year of Bitcoin.
