More and more people are caring about their digital privacy. They're caring about the enshitification of the internet. This room has gone from a two people discussion to an awareness movement in Bangalore. #CyberSwaraj
Let's help people get their digital privacy back. #CyberSwaraj

Asha Tiffins' contribution to Bitcoin remains largely undocumented.
Asha Tiffins has been powering Bitspace for 2 years without even knowing it.

Take control of your digital identity, and learn why "I don't have anything to hide, so why should I care about privacy" is an uninformed opinion. Sun, 20 June: luma.com/unbyq12l

Designers in Bengaluru, come spend a Saturday on a design problem that isn't a funnel, a dashboard, or someone else's product roadmap: luma.com/xr0kxmw6
I had a great experience attending the Bitcoin UX workshop @HODLdesign! Appreciate how thoughtful you guys were, and the amount of care & effort you have put in. Good conversations, lots of learning, pizza lunch, protein bars, and a room full of curiosity. #UXDesign

Grateful I got to be in this room with people building bitcoin in completely different corners. I left with a sense of awe & appreciation for how much is happening that I had no visibility into before this. And for the unsung heroes behind all the work. bitcoin continues.
The country session was one of the most meaningful parts of BSA. We heard different stories from Bitcoiners across Asia, each shaped by their own local reality, culture, challenges, and pace. Same Bitcoin, different contexts. That made the conversations even more valuable. BSA was created to bring these voices together, and this session reminded us why that matters. There is still so much we can learn from one another across Asia🌏 #BSA #BitcoinSquadAsia #Bitcoin 🇹🇼@BitcoinHubTW @mike_tempohouse 🇯🇵@DiamondHandsLN @Coin_and_Peace 🇰🇷@BtcCtrSeoul @powdae 🇮🇳@bitshala @_paperpsych

We ran @HODLdesign for the fourth time. Same workshop, similar format, a different group of designers in the room. But after running this four times, the experience has shifted for us. The first workshop was an experiment while the fourth one felt like something we can read patterns in. So instead of walking through the workshop again, this thread is about what those patterns are starting to tell us. (For anyone who doesn’t know about our bitcoin design workshops, here’s how we run it: x.com/_paperpsych/status/202…) 1/12 🧵
Twice in two weeks @veronika_dorson & me ran @HODLdesign! The second session went so well that we found ourselves running it again the following Saturday. Which means I’m writing about both of them at once. Here’s everything that unfolded across those two Saturdays 👇🏼... 1/20

From @bitshala_org's first meetup in Bangalore on 9th Dec 2023 to celebrating bitcoin in 12 cities in 2026 with 100s of people...We've come so very far. Proud and grateful to be a part of the bitcoiner culture expanding in India! Special thanks & kudos to all the unsung local city leads without whom none of this would be possible: @amolutxo @pseudonymous369 @studentofbtc @bala_1116 @CodeInVeins @MinerDesi @TheBitcoinGirl_ @traderremus @jaganvmohan @JoshiShreyan @GKills07 Amazing work peoples. Onwards we take bitcoin, together.
🍕Bitcoin Pizza Day 2026 just wrapped across India – and it was LEGENDARY! From record-breaking turnouts to intimate first meet-ups, @bitshala_org communities showed up strong in 10 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 @blinkbtc, 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. • 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 @apalok21, and Koshh Seedplate raffle entries. • Chennai – Covered Bitcoin basics, Pizza Day lore, Bitshala, and the @BitashaIndia Koshh giveaway. Epic Q&A with everyone sharing journeys. Shoutout to OGs @saiy2k & Saravanan for the early-days reflection – thank you for the support! • Hyderabad⚡️– Record-breaking ~100 people – biggest Bitcoin meet-up in the city yet! 30-min history & lore session lively Q&A Bitshala education talk. Energy was unreal.🫡 • Delhi – From 10,000 BTC pizzas in 2010 to paying for pizza with 1 sat today! @CodeInVeins crushed the @BtcpayServer 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. Huge thanks to every single Bitcoiner who showed up, asked questions, shared ideas, and kept the fire burning.🧡 Massive shoutout to @BitashaIndia for powering the Koshh Seedplate raffles across cities – real self-custody love! 🤗 Bitcoin education is spreading city by city. This is just the beginning. 🙌 #BitcoinPizzaDay #Bitcoin #Bitshala #OSS (Develop & Design Bitcoin OSS |@bitshala_org

I can tell about Casa21, and it's not only for programmers, but for academics. I have made great friends with people who are way smarter than me, even though I carry all the academic titles and some of them carry none. Yet, they pose excellent and hard questions, to the level few PhDs can understand. These spaces are just magical and bring back all the fun of working on unsolved problems.

I mean it depends. I don’t think the point of these spaces is just “solving loneliness.” I can only speak for my own space (@bitshala), not hackerspaces in general. But first... watch the video below. Now imagine you're one of the developers these guys are talking about. Your work is helping people in countries you've never even visited. Then you come home and your flatmate, friend or cousin thinks bitcoin is some ponzi scam. After a point you just stop talking about your work or ideas to most people around you because explaining it properly takes too much energy. That’s the kind of loneliness we were trying to solve. Not every hackerspace does that. A lot of them (seem like) are simple networking grounds or content factories. But I do think spaces built around a very particular kind of work or mission can matter a lot to the people inside them. All of the devs who came to Bitspace alone two years ago now have close friends here. People who understand the "why" of the work, the obsession, the stress around it. People they can just sit beside after a long day without having to defend or explain bitcoin. If a space can do that for even a small group of people, I think it’s worth running.

We're more than a hackerspace now 🧡
Somewhere along the way, @bitshala #bitspace became a third place.
