Description
Join us for the 62nd Fort Bitcoin meetup at Panther City BBQ
Bitcoiners, miners, energy operators, TCU Energy Club, Ralph Lowe students, plebs, and maximalists - Fort Bitcoin is going Southside.
We're gathering at Panther City BBQ, Fort Worth's Michelin-recommended smokehouse at 201 E Hattie St. Offset-pit brisket, Tex-Mex sides, a patio, and a full bar. Come early - kitchen runs Wed-Sun, 11 AM to 8 PM.
Theme: Proof of Smoke
Good barbecue and good Bitcoin have the same rule: time, heat, and work you cannot fake. Texas is in the middle of that same test. Miners and AI data centers are competing for the same ERCOT megawatts. Batch Zero is handing out conditional capacity. Sites with real interconnection are worth more than paper queues. Some operators keep hashing. Some pivot to compute. All of it still runs on power.
This night is open conversation, not a lecture:
Proof-of-work vs. always-on AI load
Powered land, curtailment, and what Texas actually interconnects
Mining jobs and energy careers after coal and aluminum sites
Self-custody, stacking sats, and staying on the basics
All welcome. First-timers, students, operators, and anyone who wants brisket with their Bitcoin talk.
Pay-your-own food and drinks. Lightning zaps welcome for tabs/tips.
Arrive by 5:30 PM if you want a plate - they sell out and close at 8.
Agenda
5:30 PM onward - Drop in, grab a tray, find a table inside or on the patio, and talk.
