# Recap: Beer and Bitcoin

 Apr 15, 2014 [ Tech in Motion ](https://motionrecruitment-4229238.hs-sites.com/blog/author/tech-in-motion)

The topic of Bitcoin has been popping up in the tech world a lot lately as the cryptocurrency gains popularity, both from its rising value and the increasing number of major companies that allow bitcoins to purchase their items. With this hot topic in mind, [Tech in Motion Boston](http://www.meetup.com/TechinmotionBoston/) brought local tech enthusiasts together for some drinks and discussion about this ever-changing cryptocurrency.

The first 45 attendees to arrive were lucky enough to snag a complimentary drink ticket from our Tech in Motion team.

With a drink in hand, Boston techies set out to discuss the idea of bitcoins. Attendees with all different levels of interest in the digital currency were represented, from those who were beginners and unfamiliar with bitcoins to experienced miners. According to one of the Tech in Motion members attending the event, we weren’t the first group in Boston to want to talk Bitcoin; in fact, there had been three other events that week around Boston all buzzing about bitcoins.

All in all, the evening was a great success, with more than 100 guests who continued to talk and network even after the event officially ended.
