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 🧡

How does Bitcoin prove ownership without revealing your private key? ⚡️
Join us today (03-Sep-2026) at 8:00 PM IST / 2:30 PM UTC for The Cryptographic Foundations of Bitcoin club with sha512rma
In today's session, we’ll explore the cryptography behind Bitcoin’s proof of ownership:
🔹Private keys vs. public keys
🔹Digital signatures
🔹Schnorr Signatures & Fiat-Shamir
🔹Nonce reuse; and how it exposes private keys

Nostr 101: Own Your Identity with Cryptographic Keys | Shivajinagar, Pune
📅 Saturday, 12th September
🕐 4:45 PM - 7:00 PM
Most social platforms give you an account on their server; Nostr gives you a key pair that you control directly. Moving beyond Twitter alternatives, Nostr is a simple open protocol for signing and sending messages across decentralized servers.
In this beginner-friendly workshop, we remove the complexity to help you understand how digital keys work, set up your first profile, and publish your first note.
