Self custody Bitcoin app and for Bitcoin on EMI

◇ @bitcoinbharat_ for awareness

[Frank Corva @frankcorva]

Bitcoin adoption in India 🇮🇳 remains one of the most underreported trends in Bitcoin.

An incredible amount of adoption is happening in one of the world's most populous countries, and it's occurring thanks to the work that the likes of Karan Gill (@KrnGill5) and Aditya Ranjan (@em_Adii) of @bitcoinbharat_ are doing.

Gill and Ranjan have organized almost 100 in-person Bitcoin education events across India, reaching over 13,000 of their fellow countrypeople in the process.

What is more, they aim to educate 100,000 Indians in-person before 2027 is out.

And this is to say nothing of their efforts to teach corporate leaders in India about the value of investing in bitcoin, how they incentivize Indian Bitcoin content creators, or the major Bitcoin conference they plan to host in India in 2027.

I wrote about all of this and more in my latest Spotlight piece for @fedibtc.

Enjoy!

Excited to share that we have joined the @Circle Alliance Program, a global
community of teams focused on bringing the world on-chain, powered by USDC!

In India, you can buy anything on EMI (equated monthly installments): cars, homes, phones, etc.

Why not Bitcoin?

They’re trying to make Bitcoin accessible via EMIs

[Santosh V | Student of Bitcoin @studentofbtc]

India is almost invisible on the global Bitcoin stage.

We export talent but don’t build 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.....👇

India's first Bitcoin accelerator 🥳

[Bitcoin Bharat 🇮🇳 @bitcoinbharat_]

Metaplanet is aggressively accumulating Bitcoin, signaling a major shift in corporate treasury strategy toward BTC as a reserve asset.

As inflation, currency debasement, and global uncertainty rise, companies are rotating capital from fiat into Bitcoin - digital gold, scarce, and sovereign.

Institutional adoption is accelerating. Corporate balance sheets are changing. The Bitcoin standard is emerging.

India has Bitcoin users.

But what about Bitcoin companies? Not many exist!

The first cohort of the Student of Bitcoin Accelerator is trying to answer that question.

Today, we’re revealing the teams building across payments, hardware, identity, and more👇

Week#6: Building a Bitcoin company
@SwapsoApp

Updates:
•New App Version: We have created a new version of the app featuring both stablecoin and Bitcoin wallets with an updated user experience. This should roll out this week for both iOS and Android.
•Stablecoin to Bitcoin: We are adding a feature to convert stablecoin to Bitcoin (similar to @Strike ). We worked on this last week.
•Bitcoin Options: I am personally learning about Bitcoin options trading to create a full-fledged model for "Bitcoin on EMI".
•Distribution Partners: We are trying to get exchange partners for the distribution of the "Bitcoin on EMI" product. Instead of building the distribution ourselves, we will partner with exchanges that already have a large reach. To discuss this, I am going to Bangalore to meet.

Be ready for 30k 🧡

[Shambhavi Soni @TheBitcoinGirl_]

I had a dream that #BTC dropped to $30K, and I used @SwapsoApp’s Bitcoin-on-EMI to buy a whole coin!

My mom says early-morning dreams come true… so I’m manifesting 🤞
