Cairo2Cape T minus 34 days
Reviewed the entire manuscript; the second half isn't landing, and Anuja's arc isn't clear. There is soo much to do 🤯
To top it off, no progress from the illustrator.
Have to close the week strongly!

I'm only four months into my India adventure, and have lots more to learn.
Shout out to @nprofile…mvme for willing to discuss this topic.
More to come from India this year 😎

India is almost invisible on the global Bitcoin stage. We export talent but don’t build visible Bitcoin brands.
This accelerator was an attempt to change that.
Here is what 9 teams built over 12 weeks with 0.1 BTC on the line.....
- You can buy a car, a house, and a cell phone with EMIs in India. Why not Bitcoin? 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 by https://www.swapso.io/
- UPI rules this country. Everyone has a barcode for payments; use Bitcoin at 65,000,000 merchants via 𝟮𝟱𝟲𝗗! https://app.256d.in
- Bitcoin lives online, so how do you build trust? 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲 Bitcoin brands get in front of 1.5B+ Indians, in person. https://www.bitcoincierge.in/
- The West dominates Bitcoin hardware; 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗮 wants to challenge that. https://bitasha.com/
- Every Bitcoin wallet today looks like a Bitcoin wallet. 𝗖𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 turned a feature phone into a Bitcoin wallet. https://www.cryobrick.com/
- 𝗘𝗽𝗼𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 is rethinking digital identity, so one breach doesn’t expose everything. https://epochshield.com
- UX and design are a big bottleneck in this ecosystem. 𝗛𝗢𝗗𝗟 solves that https://x.com/HODLdesign
- How do you track them: risk, seniority, coverage, etc., for Bitcoin credit products? 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 makes it easier to compare and understand what’s right for you. https://substack.com/@digantbhujbal
- Self-custody is still intimidating for most people. 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘆𝗢𝗦 helps individuals and businesses hold Bitcoin and think about inheritance https://treasuryos.netlify.app/
Huge shoutout to Bitshala hosting the pitch day and giving these teams a real stage.
If any of these teams resonate, please reach out. Capital, talent, or feedback all matter. https://blossom.primal.net/012123f62dca39936a5c672bc203c5c256f3809f10021798437f9228c852b645.jpg

Can you explain Bitcoin's scarcity or the halving without using any big words?
If you can't, this one is for you!
I use simple analogies relating an individual's interests or profession to convey Bitcoin's attributes.

The last two weeks in India has been a blessing!
We had plenty quality time with the family to celebrate a birthday. Ate our way through chettinad cuisine. Eating on a banana leaf hits differently.
Can’t forget the temples, each one an architectural wonder. One from my dads hometown dates back to 1010 AD 🤯
It was also refreshing to be able to speak Tamil on a daily basis!
I even managed to fit in a Bitcoin meet up amongst all of us 😎

Serious question. We’ve been nomadic for almost two years to see how btc is being used around the world.
We’ve come to a stage where we need a place to call home again. Even if we rent now at some point in a few years we need to put roots down.
I can use btc to borrow fiat and buy a home or land to build on. I need income to pay off this loan. If I don’t, I’ll be delaying the sale of btc which is okay. If not borrow, I have to sell or maybe spend if the buyer accepts btc directly.
How do you view this?

Welcome! What is the next destination? Have you found merchants that accept btc during our travels?
