Three Whistler merchants accept Bitcoin, so it's time to introduce Whistler locals to Bitcoin and its benefits! They are having their first Bitcoin Meet Up, and we are going to visit in full force to educate and tour the local Bitcoin scene. The Meet Up will occur in Whistler Village, but stay tuned for updates: as this event grows, a change in venue is likely to occur. I also will be contacting current and potential Bitcoin venues in the Village for us to visit, so we may end up starting earlier, and a map will be posted.



The current location of the presentations is 4433 Sundial Place, with a likely switch to the Whistler Public Library. Special guests from the Bitcoin Cooperative (http://www.bitcoincoop.org), Freddie Heartline and Moe Afilal, will unpack the Bitcoin phenomena into a fun, easily understood explanation of the following topics:



• introduction to Bitcoin, its benefits and the local stakeholder community (we call it ecosystem eh)



• wallet setup and security



• how and where to trade Bitcoin and altcoin



• benefits of accepting bitcoin for merchants and available merchant POS systems



• Vancouver based international Bitcoin exchanges such as Quadriga CX (https://www.facebook.com/quadrigacx)
