Meetup Growth Summary October 2015

Power Ranking for Sept 20th – Oct 19th 2015

32 groups on the list now with 3 of them on websites other than meetup.com.  This month we welcome the Tokyo Bitcoin group and also the Digital Currencies Dubai Bitcoin group.  The Dubai bitcoin group comes in a #4 on the power rankings in their first month with 27 new members and 4.89% growth.  This month average monthly growth has been added to the spreadsheet so you can see which groups have grown the fastest overall during 2015.

Here is the link to the spreadsheet on Google docs: (the filtered tab is probably the easiest to view, set the date at the top and sort by growth % Z→A for best view)

This month the Barcelona Bitcoin Community takes top spot growing by 64 members and 9.37%.  They won by quite a large margin as well.  Bitcoin Amsterdam Wednesday held second spot from last month adding 72 new members for 7% growth. And in 3rd spot another group familiar with the top ten Paris Bitcoin Meetup with 5% growth and 50 new members.  Good results for the top 3.

This month also saw Bitcoin Meetup Switzerland pass the 1000 members mark. Congratulations.

Notable moves up the rankings include Bitcoin Munich up from 11th to 5th, and Bitcoin South Florida bouncing back from 29th to 18th. Also Bitcoin HK made a return to 9th after 3 months out of the top 10.

The losers this month include my hometown Seoul Bitcoin meetup falling out of the top 10 for the first time this year from 4th to 12th, Bombay Bitcoin dropping from 8th to 19th, Israel Bitcoin meetup tumbling from 9th to 23rd, Bitcoin New Hampshire 10th to 26th and NY Bitcoin Community 22nd to 32nd, ouch.

This month again saw 4 meetups lose members; they include NY Bitcoin Community, The Stanford Bitcoin Meetup (for the 3rd month in a row. Seems like they need a new leader), Israel – BTC entrepreneurs (is this meetup dead?), and Bitcoin Budapest.  Anyone know what’s happening with these groups?

If you would like your meetup added to the list just ask.  Good luck to all you meetup organizers this month.  If you have any big events coming up post them below.  I also post this to /r/bitcoin and the new Bitcoin forum on Bitcoin.com
