EP56: Bitcoin 4 India with @AbhilashNair11

Description

We were wrong.

We keep doing pods with plebs from all over the world looking for how things are different where they are. And the answer is always...they’re not. Brendo even broke into “We Are the World” (sorry).

This week it was our pleasure to chat with Abhilash Nair (Abi) from Hexa Wallet (hexawallet.io) the first product from BitHyve. A fully remote team, predominantly based in India, the conversation focussed on Abi’s personal journey, the parallel journey of the Hexa Wallet and the Bitcoin 4 India conference on November 5th and 6th in Goa. We also touch on:

Accents changing every 20km, language changing every 100km.
Educating 1.3 billion people in India.
NO CONNECTION TO HEX COIN (please avoid)
Simplifying Hexa Wallet for ease of use, and the introduction of “Pledge” (fundraising) and “Keeper” (storage) to be released in a couple of months.
Building an easy on-ramp to the Bitcoin ecosystem with a polished UI/UX
Gifting sats
Integrated exchange functionality (Swan, Ramp and Wyre)
The polarising view of Testnet
Sentiment in India for Bitcoin and cRYptO
Family gatherings
Transformative books
The BitHyve team and the use of advisors
Bitcoin4India for Indian bitcoiners
Job satisfaction “through the roof”
Choose to be a cynical optimist
