#### About

The Capital Region Bitcoin Network was started by <a href="https://twitter.com/bitcoinkendal" 
target="_BLANK" >Kendal Pappas</a> as a result of there not being many crypto groups and 
wanting to create a local community around Bitcoin.

The first meetup was held on Thursday, May 11th 2023. Meetups allow for open discussion 
about Bitcoin news and common questions surrounding crypto.
