The Architecture of Digital Scarcity: Why Bitcoin is True Internet Money 📍 Pune 📅 Saturday, June 27 For years, digital money failed because it could be copied, forcing systems to rely on central authorities to prevent double spending. Bitcoin solved this by removing the middleman. It uses a decentralized network and economic incentives to keep transactions secure and honest, enabling truly uncopyable digital money. ​Systems don't survive by being complex; they survive because their rules are mathematically and economically impossible to break. Come find out how. 📌 Register at:

From record-breaking turnouts to intimate first meet-ups, Bitshala communities showed up strong in 11 cities with great pizza, deeper conversations, and unstoppable Bitcoin energy! • Bangalore🌆 – Lively mix of newbies & OGs diving into why Bitcoin exists. Gifted everyone Spiritual Money books, set them up on Blink wallet, and invited them to Bitspace events. Pure vibes! • Vadodara – Went down the rabbit hole on the legendary 10,000 BTC pizza and why Bitcoin is the apex predator. Delicious pizzas and even better signal. • Varanasi - 4 were tech majors, 2 were journalism majors, and 1 was a finance major and, all from Premier Institutes asking relevant questions from mining, to taxes, to resources to learn. • Latur🔥 – The city’s first-ever Bitcoin meet-up, perfectly timed on Pizza Day. Couldn’t have asked for a better launch! • Mumbai – Absolute blast! Deep dives into what makes Bitcoin money, problems with the current system, Cryobrick intro by Alok, and Koshh Seedplate raffle entries. • Chennai – Covered Bitcoin basics, Pizza Day lore, Bitshala, and the Bitasha Koshh giveaway.

Energy was unreal.🫡 • Delhi – From 10,000 BTC pizzas in 2010 to paying for pizza with 1 sat today! Abhijay crushed the @BTCPay Server demo – attendees actually experienced self-sovereign payments live. Delhi’s scene is heating up fast. • Haryana – Our first Bitcoin meetup in the state! Just 5 of us but we talked for 3+ hours on doubts, ideas & future plans. Small room, massive signal. More coming to Haryana & Punjab soon. • Pune – Quality time with enthusiastic Satoshis (old & new). Great discussions on Bitcoin and the full Pizza Day history. The vibe was perfect. • Indore – Great pizza, even better conversations. Mixed crowd explored Bitcoin’s origins and why it still matters today.
