First of June is already gone, I wonder how the first edition of the Bitcoin Book Club went.
And if this is going to be a monthly event, then the second one is around the corner.
It would be great if OP could give us an update to see how it's going.
Topic: I Started the First Bitcoin Book Club in my City (Read 582 times)
It a nice club not only to teach people bitcoin, but also to encourage beginners who are experiencing the bear market maybe for the first time to not panic, some maybe confused in this time not knowing what to do. It sounds so Interesting to have a club like this, I think their is need for it.
I'm amazed by your passion to promote and represent Bitcoin in your area. Having the willingness to share your knowledge about the importance of Bitcoin is a good step to spreading awareness which could lead to Bitcoin adaption in a certain area. Initiations like this could have a huge impact on Bitcoin in the future. This is inspiring and I hope that you and your friends would succeed in your goals and that more people will follow in your footsteps.
That’s really cool. I’m so happy that our fellow members are so active in the real world and creating communities like these. This is future of new generation and one of the ways to teach them, attract them in this new world. Will surely go through your Instagram account and see what you guys really do.
Don’t worry, so not focus on the government and their decisions. They are always changing the stuff now and then but they can’t really change crypto space at larger extent. So keep up the work.

I think it's a pretty good idea. Considering that for many, bitcoin has become an income option and more and more people are using this particular cryptocurrency to invest. Have you chosen a bar format?
On 5th February 2022, the Central Bank of Nigeria ordered banks in Nigeria to close the accounts of persons or business entities transacting in or operating cryptocurrency exchanges. Read it here - THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA BAN ON CRYPTOCURRENCY EXCHANGES
The moment when a central authority forbid you to use bitcoin, this is the very moment you realise you need bitcoin the most.
Well done tic you i and your friends, and the best of luck for the future of your Bitcoin Book Club.
I have bookmarked several threads on Bitcointalk with links to books and other learning material that you might find useful.
- Useful Crypto Resources from Andreas M. Antonopoulos
As the name suggests, this one focuses on the work of Andreas Antonopoulos. There are links to his books and YouTube material.
- 5 Resources to teach Average Joe about Bitcoin
fillippone has made a collection of articles, books, videos, and other resources to teach beginners about what Bitcoin is.
- Blockchain Books, Bitcoin Movies And Documentaries (Updated)
Many people like visual stimulus, so you might think about showing the Bitcoin club a good documentary.

So far not many people have made a move to raise people's awareness of bitcoin. And I appreciate you because you and your friends have made a real move on this. the steps you take will greatly inspire and motivate people.

Bitcoin isn't totally banned in your country but it was only the banks that are against with it so there is no real reason to stop your passion about bitcoin. You can just avoid linking your banks with bitcoin related activities so that you can avoid any trouble's but why would one use a bank anyway when bitcoin is already a bank?
Your economy is collapsing, but it can even collapse more because of that move done by banks. They don't know that bitcoin can contribute something in order to help the economy but I guess they don't want this to happen because they are too selfish. Till now there are still institutions that are scared of what bitcoin can do to them.

I appreciate your efforts for bringing some of your friends together to organise a bitcoin club in your city . Bitcoin club will bring more awareness about bitcoin despite that the government has placed a ban on bitcoin transactions in bank in your city. I know for sure the club will educate people more about bitcoin, if you don't mind I would like if you and your friends can put beginners through who want are willing to buy bitcoin on how to get a reliable p2p exchange since the government has ban banks from cryptocurrency exchanges that people used to hope on.
The initiative is great as their club may grow as other people will be interested to know about bitcoin and crypto from a physical person. The experience is different if you are talking to an actual person rather than reading all articles about crypto. They will give you first-hand experience and how to do things in proper way. For sure, later on, for some who can get a hold of some crypto, they can have their small p2p exchange because at some point they will deal also with their local fiat.
Let's see if their club will grow 6 months, a year down the road. Can the OP update about their club, maybe after couple of months so we know if there will be progress on their group?
Really Bitcoin has became the worldwide shortest way of investment through it's speculation and numerous recommendations from people's article's through internet, really having a bitcoin club in your jurisdiction is an avenue to pass the information of cryptocurrency and especially bitcoin to the grassroots with another dimensions, which it's what cryptocurrency and especially bitcoin needs to be massively recognize or adopt from people who are ignorant or myopic of bitcoin kind of investment and transaction.. i applaud you very well for initiating this ideas.

Here is our Instagram account @bitcointribebookclub which I just created. I would very much appreciate your thoughts, comments, and ideas. Thank you.
I've read about Bitcoin Book Clubs circulating on the internet, such as the one created by: @John Vallis and several other clubs.Actually the idea you made is a good one, about the Bitcoin Book Club to make it easier and understand especially about Bitcoin, the point.
But i try to look at your instagram and twitter for now the likes and followings are very minimal, maybe you guys have to work a little hard to explain about the Bitcoin Book Club like: Creator, History, Security, Supply, Value, Digital Money, Transactions and so on about Bitcoin Chapter 1 to the last Chapter, to attract more enthusiasts to read about Bitcoin Book Clubs in your area especially.

My three (3) best friends and I have started the first bitcoin book club in our city Abuja, Nigeria, for bitcoin lovers who share a sincere passion for discussing and reading books about bitcoin. We have always wanted to do this for a long. I am super excited that it is finally happening. The book club is called - Bitcoin Tribe Book Club.
Congratulations then mate , you did a good Job having this to your city , I also wanted to start a book but sadly there is no interested from my circle of friends as they are too busy from their real job.My three (3) best friends and I have started the first bitcoin book club in our city Abuja, Nigeria, for bitcoin lovers who share a sincere passion for discussing and reading books about bitcoin.

But I am starting to create little by little so when the time comes that they are ready to Join me then we can easily release the book .
thanks for this as it brings me motivation and more dedication for my own book.
Looks like a terrific idea! Have you ever thought about making it into a podcast of some sort? Like you and your friends sitting together (or remotely) and discussing books on Bitcoin, and all that will be revolving around policies in Nigeria?
And I like that you have huge plans to expand and to bring bitcoin knowledge across the city (and maybe potentially the country?).
Also, love the name - Bitcoin Tribe Book Club. Sounds pretty cool IMHO.

Thank you all for your lovely wishes. My friends and I are super grateful.
As time goes on, I will definitely return to this give an update on our activities, the progress made and new membership. Membership is based on referral from other members because we want to be careful to admit people who are truly optimistic about the future of bitcoin.
Perhaps you could follow up from time to time in the thread to share how the book club's going, whether anyone joined the 3 of you, and how the talks are going.
Congratulations OP on starting something new, if i may add some suggestions to be considered, i'd say before your very first meeting, please engage as much as you can in massive publicity so others who are like-minded can have an opportunity to start with you.

Secondly, to keep things fun and ensure that people who join up develop a sense of belonging, you can get branded promotional items like t-shirts, notepads, facecaps etc for members, you can occasionally organise fun activities like picnics where they can come along with friends and family.
Keep things fun as you discuss and learn more about bitcoin, so other close observer's will develop an interest and want to get involved.

Wow, that's a great start from you guys. I am happy to see that there are people who are starting crypto clubs despite bitcoin being bearish these days.
May be you won't get good traction since bitcoin is going down but don't lose the hope and keep up the good work.
I am very sure that once bitcoin starts going bullish the number of people approaching you will increase a lot.
The number of members in your crypto club will see a good spike. Keep hustling.

Op, I think it's a great initiative. I wonder, though, how many people who are into cryptos are also into reading books about Bitcoin. Perhaps you could follow up from time to time in the thread to share how the book club's going, whether anyone joined the 3 of you, and how the talks are going. I'd probably make something wider, adding discussions of articles, as well as of crypto-related movies and TV shows, to lighten up the whole thing and broaden the scope. But a book club is a thing of its own, of course, and it can focus specifically on books. In any case, good luck!
Excellent initiative.
I couldn't find any list of books that you're planning to read, or have already read, so I'll give you one:
The White Paper – by Satoshi Nakamoto (Author), Jaya Klara Brekke (Editor), James Bridle (Introduction)
I noticed that you're going to start on June 1st, and this book was published exactly on that day, 3 years ago: June 1, 2019

This is fabulous. Thank you for the book recommendation. We initially planned to read Mastering Bitcoin: Programming the Open Blockchain by Andreas Antonopoulos. However, I just read the introduction of the book The White Paper. I loved it. I will run it past my friends. I'm sure they will be thrilled coupled with the fact that the book publication date coincides with our first meeting date. Thank you so much once again. I am genuinely grateful.
