#### About

Welcome to the Capital Region Bitcoin Network. Our meetup was created to support local adoption of Bitcoin and the Handshake naming system.

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