[The Bitcoin Dialectic 🎙️ @Digvijay_BTC]

I asked an astrologist when Bitcoin hits $1 million.

“2032, or it’ll NEVER happen.”

@realizingerin pivoted from @NASAJPL to Bitcoin astrology. We discuss:
• Bitcoin’s 2032 deadline
• Why AI and Bitcoin aren’t allies
• Bitcoin’s Michael Saylor problem
• Bitcoin’s death
• (and a lot more you’re not ready for)

Bitshala BOSS Summit Jaipur is live 🔴

First up, the drop: this year's BOSS Summit tee, designed by our very own @_paperpsych 🙌

“Crafting for generations to come.”

We chose these words because the work we do today should outlive us.

Bitcoin is built by people who care about what comes next. Every line of code, every contribution, every idea shared gives the next generation something to build on.

And that's what we want BOSS Summit to be all about. Learning from each other, building together, and leaving something behind for those who come after us.

A little reminder on a T-shirt of why we're here in the first place.

For the next 5 days, we'll be sharing updates from the sessions, along with presentation links, so you can follow along even if you're not here with us.

“We have been in a period of very low excitement for months and months and months […] During these time periods I’ve been having VERY AGGRESSIVE buys.”

@SullyMichaelvan studies what Bitcoiners say on X, and what happens to price next.

He called the bottom in June, and he’s “insanely bullish right now.”

We discuss:
• How he uses sentiment to buy, DCA, and sell
• What he got wrong about the 4-year cycle
• Strategy vs Strive
• (and a lot more he isn't sharing publicly)

“Bitcoin is NOT private. Cash is.”

Bitcoiners want to “fix the money” but they’re incapable of seeing what the old stuff did better.

Cash is private. Cash works offline. Cash doesn’t need energy. Your grandparents know how to use cash.

@anant_tap on how to get the best of both worlds 👇 🎧

"Bitcoin is one of those technologies that could change the world, like quantum computing, nuclear fusion, or space colonies."

@Basanta_Goswami is one of my favourite people to sit down for a chat with.

He drops a gem a minute, I swear.

[Bitshala @bitshala_org]

New Bitcoin Talks episode with @Basanta_Goswami just dropped.

How do we build truly private, self-custodial software for a Bitcoin-native future?

In this episode of Bitshala Talks, we sit down with open-source developer Basanta to unpack the technical reality of building freedom tech.

Key takeaways from the conversation:

Reproducible Builds: Why verifying software binaries from source code is critical for wallet security.

Bull Bitcoin: The philosophy behind self-custodial exchanges & mobile wallet architecture at @BULLBITCOIN_

Privacy-First Education: Bringing non-bitcoiners into freedom tech through community initiatives like Cyber Suraj at Bitspace @bitshala.

L2 Trade-Offs: Breaking down Lightning, @Liquid_BTC federations, & @arc for scalable self-custody.

Open-Source Dev: How to contribute meaningfully to Bitcoin repositories.

Watch the full interview here 👇

[Bitshala @bitshala_org]

Are you a developer who has completed multiple cohorts, explored open source, and knows you want to work in the space, but still haven’t made the leap from learning to contributing?

This session is designed for you.

The First PR: Your 0 → 1 Guide to Open Source

We’ll break down the path from curious developer to active contributor, including how to find the right repository, identify a meaningful first issue, understand an unfamiliar codebase, work with maintainers, and make your first Pull Request.

📍Sat, Oct 3rd | 3 PM | Live on our Discord : https://t.co/MWDHmQyjWD✨

There was a time when Bitshala was just 30 people in a Discord server.

A small group of people who were curious about Bitcoin, wanted to understand it a little better, and believed it was worth building around.

Today, that same community has grown to 3000+ on Discord, 3100+ on X, and nearly 1000 on LinkedIn.

But numbers are not what we see when we look at those milestones.

We see people.

People who came here to learn and build, asked questions, shared ideas, opened pull requests, attended meetups, mentored others, became fellows, made friends, and helped someone else take their first step into Bitcoin.

Some have been here since there were only 30 of us. Some joined just yesterday. Many have contributed in ways that may never be visible from the outside.

That is what makes this milestone meaningful to us. Not that the numbers have grown, but that so many people have grown with them.

Bitshala was built to create a place where people could come together, learn deeply, build openly, and contribute to something they believed mattered.

So to everyone who has been here from the beginning, and to everyone who joined somewhere along the way, thank you. 🙇‍♂️

You are not just part of Bitshala's story. You are the reason the story exists.

30 became 3,000+ and there is so much more to build 🧡

The new @bitshala Bitspace has got it all!

Very meticulously curated by our amazing community manager @_paperpsych !

[Bitshala @bitshala_org]

Bitspace 2.0 is OPEN 🟠

Two years ago, we opened Bitspace with a simple idea: give Bitcoin builders in India a place to work, learn and build together.

We thought we were opening a workspace. But somewhere along the way, it became much more.

Developers, designers, researchers, educators, privacy advocates and Bitcoiners walked through these doors.

Some came to work, some to learn, and some simply to see what was happening.

Then the magic started. Ideas became projects, conversations became collaborations and strangers became friends.🧡

And this very room became an important part of their journeys, and of India’s growing Bitcoin story.

Today, Bitspace 2.0 @bitshala opens its doors.

More room to build. Better spaces for deep work. A space designed around the people doing the work.

The mission remains the same: grow the next generation of Bitcoin developers and contributors.

Bitcoin needs people who go deeper, question assumptions, write code, ship software and strengthen the open-source commons.

Bitspace exists to give them a home.
BLR. Bitspace 2.0. The next chapter begins. 🟠

[Amol @amolutxo]

Just attended Bitspace 2.0: A New Home for Bitcoiners in Bangalore 🚀

Met some incredible Bitcoiners, the energy was absolutely amazing

Huge shoutout to @_paperpsych for putting in the work to build such an amazing space 🙏

Thank you @RajarshiMaitra @SetuSaurabh @bitshala_org

[Bitshala @bitshala_org]

From calling Bitcoin a scam to spending 9 hours getting orange-pilled.

Meet Bitshala Fellow @_paperpsych as he takes us through his journey of discovering Bitcoin, building communities, witnessing the evolution of Bitcoin in India, and creating spaces where curious minds can find their way down the rabbit hole.

From design and psychology to Bitdevs and Bitspace @bitshala.

A conversation about Bitcoin, people, and the work happening underneath the surface.

Watch the full conversation 👇

[paperpsych @_paperpsych]

Opening the new Bitspace on 5th September, and would love to personally invite the people running other spaces and communities in Bangalore.

It's weird building our second space and barely knowing anyone running the other ones in the city.

If you know any of them (mentioned in the comments), an intro would mean a lot. Thanks!

[Bitshala Bitspace @bitshala]

Bitspace Build Log #6: Not fully happy with the lighting yet. Merch wall is too bright compared to the lounge, which also doesn't feel as cozy as it should.

That aside, acoustic panels are in for cabins except for the meeting room, and furniture is on the way.

3 days to go :)

[Raj⚡🌋 (🏗️ bitshala) @RajarshiMaitra]

The fact that we can put in this much of care for all the Open Source devs working from Bitspace to make their lives a little easier makes my heart warm.

Unlike in corporate, FOSS devs are on their own in the wild. Having a shared safe space goes a long way in mental ressilience, connection and collaborations.

We are greayful at @bitshala_org to be able to serve for the contributors of Public Commons doing thankless jobs everyday.

[Bitshala Bitspace @bitshala]

New Bitspace, new hot mess in HSR Layout.

[Raj⚡🌋 (🏗️ bitshala) @RajarshiMaitra]

Bitspace has been the biggest mirracle of @bitshala_org .

A lot of passion and energy came together under this roof over last 2 years.

h/t to @_paperpsych for being the dedicated maintainer of this project. Many more anazing years coming.

[Bitshala Bitspace @bitshala]

Few days ago we spent our last day here.

While the packers were on their way, I realized we'd never actually shot a walkthrough... and most of you who aren't in Bangalore never got to experience Bitspace.

So here it is.

A short tour of where we built on bitcoin for last 2 yrs.
