Now that your communication channels and social networks are set up and reflect your community's visual identity, it's time to start following the right people.

On Twitter, begin by following key accounts that promote Bitcoin globally such as @Bitcoin and @planb_network, as well as initiatives like @FBCEglobal. You can also retweet @halfin's famous "Running Bitcoin" tweet from January 11, 2009. And more importantly, follow the accounts of Bitcoin communities and meetups in your own country.

This creates opportunities to follow each other, tag each other, and boost collective visibility. It's already common practice among the ~50 Bitcoin communities in France, the "Satoshi Spritz" initiatives in Italy, and the "Einundzwanzig" groups in Germany.

While it may seem trivial to some, following the accounts of local communities and initiatives can lead to collaborations or even partnerships. For example, the Bitcoin Liège and Bitcoin Lille communities (and likewise Bitcoin Aix and Bitcoin Marseille) connected this way, leading them to co-host an annual meetup. The Cercle du Coin meals are another good example.

In France, it may also be relevant to follow the initiatives such as @KonsensusFR, @bitcoinpointfr, @DecouvreBitcoin and @btcmap. These are of course only suggestions, and each community is free to do as it wishes, in complete decentralization and autonomy.

As mentioned above, the goal of following each other is to vuild mutual visibility. The more you promote your community and those of your region/country on the social networks, the more people will talk about you. The more people will talk about you, the more likely they are to attend your events.

Liking and retweeting posts from other communities can therefore greatly help their development... and yours.

You could also suggest that meetup organizers and bitcoiners who run communities meet two or three times a year by videoconference to review the progress of national projects and related communities. This can also take place during in-person events. The goal is simple: gather everyone's feedback, discuss how the communities are evolving, share successful ideas and projects, and propose solutions when needed. A written summary of the meeting can be shared afterward with community organizers in your country who couldn't attend.
