Rev and Reed welcome Shinobi, co-organizer of the Chicago BitDevs, for a deep dive into what makes BitDevs meetups distinct from other Bitcoin gatherings — their Socratic, technical format, and the tension between serving highly technical attendees versus newer members trying to learn. The conversation moves into hands-on UTXO management, multisig cold storage best practices (physical backups over digital), and a sober take on privacy tools like PayJoin, CoinJoin, ARC, and Spark. The episode wraps with the usual value-for-value boost segment, highlighting community topics and events and reading the boosts!
