I'm still confused with the meetups.
When you go to the event, all the folks are supposed to be a Peach Bitcoin user? Or random bitcoiners groups are listed at peachbitcoin.com/for-meetups? I mean the group that goes to the restaurant to talk BTC.
And I may perhaps find a PeachBitcoin user?...
You can find more information regarding meetups here[1] @LeGaulois. As far as I'm aware the concept is to be seen as a partnership - if an organization is having a Bitcoin meetup for numerous reasons (to talk about certain aspects of the technology for example) they can get in touch with Peach and also provide the option for whoever is attending the meeting to exchange cash for bitcoin using Peach wallet as a safe "heaven" that promotes the exchange. You can already select the option of "Cash" whenever you use the app, but whenever you are near a Bitcoin meetup that has partnered with Peach, you will also get alerted that you can do a cash exchange physically (and, more importantly, in a safe environment that meetups provides).
The company also provides some cool merchandise to help promote the service and it also shares 1% of the trading volume with the organization body of the meetup[1]:
What’s in it for the meetup organizers?Meetup organizers play an important role in the Peach cash trade: they are the ones who will need to explain how Peach works, and will be the point of contact for anyone using the feature during the meetup.
To thank & compensate the organizers for this, we give back three things:
- 1% of the volume traded. Important note: we will give back 1% only to the meetup organizers that can be subject to receive donations. Some meetups, due to their status or organization, will not be able receive it.
- Peach merch
- Visibility for the meetup on the Peach app.
To directly answer your question: Not all Bitcoin meetups will have a partnership with Peach Bitcoin (especially in the current early stages of the service, but this will surely improve long term). Whenever you're in doubt just look up into the application and see if there's a nearby meetup hosting this service and, when you're there, just look out for these[2][3][4] signs and you'll know you're in the right place.
