At our meetup yesterday, we ran through their Blockstream Locals program (I'm gonna call it Bitcoin Locals...I know it does nothing for the branding). Blockstream prepared a decent presentation. You can check it out here:

We had lots of good questions and most of them were answered in the presentation.
Blockstream generously donated sats to my liquid address and then I split it up 8 ways and sent it to each meetup member even though you only see 2 transactions on the liquid chain:

Interesting note: I had to wait for each block to clear before I could send the next transaction. I'm guessing this is because I need wait for my UTXO before I can send the next one. Because of this it took about 10 minutes to get it all sent. This would have been faster over lightning obvs.
But even more exciting, we participated in the NonKYC Cigarette economy Bugle_News (npub1563…c9n6)
Fundamentals (npub12em…y99g) donated this banging coaster from our friends at Ungovernable Misfits (npub1jcy…2890)
And we hopefully all went home a little more free than when we showed up.
