Appreciate the shoutout! Always great to be in Columbus talking Bitcoin. Looking forward to the Summit 🫡
In the days leading up to the Midwest Bitcoin Summit, we’re highlighting friends and members of The Columbus Bitcoin Meetup who will be speaking at the event. Today we honor Ben Epling (@benepling).

Touché River, your expensive marketing campaign convinced my Mother-in-law to move $250,000 out or her Wells Fargo account and over to River. Great job IMO @River @Leishman

No one would trust a bank with a roulette table in the lobby. Coinbase and Robinhood are betting you won't notice.

This Wednesday @benepling from @River joins the Midland Bitcoin Meetup to talk Bitcoin adoption metrics. If you wonder how many people actually use Bitcoin, how fast that number is growing, and what it means for the next few years, this is the presentation to catch. Ben is bringing the real data they see. Thank you to our sponsors @GigaEnergy_ and @NobleMinerCo for making these events happen.

Most people spent February watching the price drop. River was having their highest volume month ever. Ben Epling from River joined us to walk through the ownership shift data, what is driving business adoption, and how River is building the infrastructure for a dual currency era with direct deposit and bill pay. If you want to learn more about how to incorporate Bitcoin into your services as a financial advisor, tune in to the Bitcoin for Financial Services Podcast with myself and @jordanguess today. 👇
