Can a Community Own Its Own Money? An Evening on Fedi & Local Economies

NOTE: This event is still in the works, the details are being added and finalized. IF you already know about the events we host at Bitspace, feel free to RSVP now because we're excited to see what Fedi has been cooking for so many years. For the skeptical crowd, give me a day or two to whip this page into shape :)
We've spent 17+ years getting the technology right. Self-custody works. Lightning, Liquid, Ark works fast. The math is phenomenal. And yet, if you handed your neighbour a hardware wallet tomorrow, they probably wouldn't use it. Not because Bitcoin is broken, but because money has never been only a technical problem. It's also a social one.
Money works when a group of people agree to use it together. A savings circle. A street of merchants. A village. A community of builders. That coordination is the hard part, and it's the part most Bitcoin tools skip right past.
Fedi is one serious attempt at that problem. It's a community super-app built on Fedimint, a federated e-cash protocol, that puts chat, payments, and community tools in one place. The whole thing is built around a simple idea: that money is something a community holds together, not something each person has to defend alone.
We're going to walk through one of the more interesting bets in freedom tech right now, which is that the next wave of Bitcoin adoption might look less like personal sovereignty and more like local economies.
No prior knowledge of Fedi or Fedimint needed. Just bring your curiosity about how money actually spreads through a community.
If any of that sounds like your kind of evening, come hang out and ask hard questions. The best conversations usually happen after the talk anyway.
