Bitcoin Wallets: You Don't Store Bitcoin, You Manage Keys | Pune

📅 Saturday, 08th August
⏰ 4:45 PM - 7:00 PM

Your wallet holds zero Bitcoin; it holds the exact mathematical secrets required to convince a global network that you have the right to move it.

In this Bitshala meetup, we abandon consumer abstractions to focus on protocol reality: wallets are deterministic cryptographic key managers that construct and sign state transitions for an open ledger.

Bitcoin Transactions, Blocks and Mining | Andheri, Mumbai

📅 Saturday, 08th August
🕛 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Bitcoin has no accounts, no balances, and no central server, yet it reliably tracks value across thousands of independent nodes.

In this session, we trace the full lifecycle of a transaction, from elliptic curves and address derivation to mempool dynamics, Merkle trees, and Nakamoto consensus, culminating in constructing and broadcasting a raw transaction directly onto the Bitcoin testnet.

Bitcoin 101: How Digital Money Works Without Banks

📅 Saturday, 22 August

Join us for an interactive, beginner-friendly introduction to Bitcoin and how it works. No prior knowledge is required—just bring your curiosity!

Join us today (24-Jul-2026) at 8:00 PM IST / 2:30 PM UTC for Bitshala Reading Club

We’re in Week 2 of "The Psychology of Money" by Morgan Housel in the Bitcoin Reading Club.

Today, we’ll explore why building wealth requires not only making money but also protecting it, how rare events shape our financial future, why control over our time is true wealth, and how the desire to impress others influences our financial decisions.

Ultimately, financial success depends as much on behaviour and psychology as on intelligence or investment skill.
