In the days leading up to the Midwest Bitcoin Summit, we’re highlighting friends and members of The Columbus Bitcoin Meetup who will be speaking at the event.

Today we honor Ben Epling (@benepling).

Ben is a Relationship Manager at River, the Bitcoin-only financial services company headquartered in Columbus. An Ohio State alum and a familiar face at Columbus Bitcoin Meetup, he has spent years helping individuals and businesses stack sats, understand River’s products, and move toward living on a Bitcoin standard. He’s also spoken on adoption metrics, recurring buys, and why businesses keep accumulating even when price is noisy.

Catch Ben on stage at MBS representing River.

See you Sept 23–24 in Columbus. #MBS2026 #Bitcoin
