The BitDevs Socratic Seminar series is a monthly event where we discuss salient industry news, the latest advancements in Bitcoin development, and how it all ties into financial freedom. **All are welcome to join the conversation, regardless of technical expertise! Come learn why we’re so passionate about Bitcoin.**

Join us on **Thursday, October 12, 2023 at [Entrepreneurs Sandbox](https://sandboxhawaii.org/) ([643 Ilalo St](https://goo.gl/maps/3Zj38htV13iUn4dcA)) in the Purple Box room.** Another group has reserved the room right before our meetup, so **arrive sometime between 5:30pm – 6pm**.

When you arrive, someone will be waiting to let you into the building if the door is locked. Street parking is usually available, and there is also a dedicated paid parking lot onsite ($1/hour).

**This month, we have a guest speaker**. After his presentation, we’ll spend the rest of the time discussing relevant technical updates and non-technical current events from the last month.
**This month’s topic list and more event details are available on our website:**

This event is intended to facilitate discussion about the latest advancements in Bitcoin-adjacent development and relevant news/content. **It is NOT a discussion about price, trading, or any altcoins.**

After the meetup, some of us will head over to [Honolulu Beerworks](https://www.honolulubeerworks.com/).

Join our [Telegram group](https://t.me/+Uh9gbHO9EHFkZWJh) for important event updates and ongoing Bitcoin discussion. **It’s also the easiest way to get in touch with us**. If you’d like to support this group, [we appreciate BTC donations](https://checkout.opennode.com/p/5dea6b7a-d33c-4fda-b54c-98f092814c7d)!
