EP56: Bitcoin 4 India with @AbhilashNair11

2-Bit Idiots

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
