Hey all,

It has been an awesome few months at Satoshi's Place and we have grand plans for 2023! Seeing the foundations working that we have now set and the potential in the hub we'll be working to raise some funds to 1: Secure our hub operations for the year (Until Jan 2024) and 2: Expand our hubs operations to educate (and onboard) further and wider through Manchester and wider.

Expanding our operation will see us open for more days and hours in the week, We are looking at 10AM to 2PM & 5PM to 10PM Tuesday to Sunday. This of course allows us to host more workshops and events aswell as make the hub more accessible.

We hope to expand our range of workshops into regular weekly or bi-weekly events aswell as hosting hands-on electronics workshops focused around Bitcoin / Lightning tech i.e. POS systems, Tickers, Nodes etc.

We'll also be focusing on educating the youth via workshops & events built (and tested) by the specific age ranges and qualified teachers.

I hope to bring a marketplace to the hub aswell, selling a wide range of Bitcoin apparel aswell as showcasing some of the more collectible things - This will hopefully allow a lot of apparel / merch sellers we know to increase sales as there aren't many physical places to purchase Bitcoin merch (or see it IRL) in the UK.

Plans are underway on how we raise the funds, how they'll be managed (if we do raise some) and a solid schedule for all of the above. Using the past few months as a basis for estimates and with the energy price rises / NMW rises coming into effect then I am hoping we can raise around £100k. 

If anyone is wanting to learn any more about our plans please DM me or post your questions here - Our goal is to open more sites around the UK in 2024!
