Imagine --> We had these hubs around the UK offering FREE bitcoin workshops built to educate and onboard folk into the Bitcoin space!
I am thinking of our current hub as a testbed to build out what a future franchised hub could operate like - So not necessarily will the other hubs have bars, or offer food or host a marketplace etc but we'll see with our current hub what works, what attracts visitors into the hub and of course use feedback (Mainly listening to Newbies) to help us build the hub into space where folk feel comfortable to learn about Bitcoin and hopefully be able to make their first transaction.
We also want the space to be a hub to connect people - We've seen a lot (Through CoinFest mainly) that although Bitcoin is borderless that there are a lot of un-connected Bitcoin folk & groups around the UK, so if we build somewhere that is easily accessible, open through the week & weekend (Morning & Evening) and provides FREE & un-sponsored, community / transparent curated content, that we'll remove a lot of the barriers we've seen over the past 8-10 years.
