A huge thank you to everyone who joined the Bitcoin Meetup Pune on 07-Feb-2026 ⚡️
The room was packed with students, professionals, and Bitcoin enthusiasts, and the atmosphere was truly electric and charged up. From first timers to long-time builders, everyone came together to share how they first discovered Bitcoin and their personal journey into understanding it.
We loved seeing curious minds who dropped in just to explore what Bitcoin is all about, alongside contributors already deep in the space. The conversations flowed freely, and the energy stayed high throughout.
We also had meaningful discussions around career paths in Bitcoin open source for developers, designers, and educators, and how they can get involved through Bitshala’s Clubs, Cohorts, and Fellowship programs.
Grateful for the community, the curiosity, and the conversations. Pune, you showed up strong. 🚀₿
