Let this sink in for moment. Then go outside, take a deep breath, and relax because bitcoin escapes this madness. image
This past Sunday, the IBC had a small gathering to enjoy the labor weekend. We had about 35 adults and 11 kids. It was a wonderful time to talk bitcoin, flying, and the goal of the IBC to paint Illinois orange. This state is in dire need of positive change. @Sippy Cup gave five introductory flights, and one with @Tim daughter. More to come from the IBC @Julian Figueroa
