What separates a resilient Bitcoin business from one that collapses?

Growth alone doesn't guarantee durability. Business models, custody practices, counterparty exposure, and risk management all matter.

At this week's TradFi & Bitcoin Club, we continue our Early Riders’ Top 50 Bitcoin Companies series with a closer look at the companies shaping financial infrastructure around Bitcoin, alongside some of the industry's most consequential failures.

📅 Wednesday, 14 October 2026 | 8:00 PM IST | 2:30 PM UTC

📍 Join the discussion in the Bitshala Discord Lounge:
https://discord.com/invite/STeQFVEWf9

Our discussion will cover:
🔹 Lending Models: Examining the rise and collapse of BlockFi and Celsius, and the risks embedded in their business models.
🔹 Custody & Security: Comparing Anchorage Digital’s institutional custody approach with Casa’s focus on individual self-custody.
🔹 Institutional Infrastructure: Understanding the distinct roles of Galaxy and Fireblocks in financial services and digital asset infrastructure.
🔹 Bitcoin-Backed Lending: Exploring Ledn’s lending model and how it differs from failed competitors.
🔹 Systemic Failures: Drawing lessons from FTX and the Terra ecosystem, including counterparty risk and the fragility of financial models.
The goal is to look beyond the headlines and understand the underlying business decisions, incentives, and risks.

For developers, entrepreneurs, investors, and anyone interested in the intersection of traditional finance and Bitcoin, these lessons matter.

That's a wrap on Building Bitcoin in Rust (BR) Season 1 🎓🦀

Over the last 10 weeks, our cohort dived deep into the Braiins curriculum. They worked through Rust's foundations, ownership and traits, all the way to async networking and Bitcoin node design.

What stood out most was the transformation. Participants arrived Rust curious and left shipping production-style Bitcoin projects. Everyone who completed the work has earned a Proof-of-Work certificate.

Special recognition goes to our top participants:
🥇 ibearua
🥈 Wandia Mugo
🥉 Anshuman
🎁 yunus_abdul
🎁 colmwanga

And honorary mentions for R27, aditaya, NisargXplores, oneshheraldofnothing and sreepadam.

Bitcoin's future depends on engineers who understand it from the ground up. Programs like this are how we build that bench, and this cohort shows the next generation of Bitcoin engineers is already here. 🚀

Thank you to every participant, mentor and contributor who made Season 1 happen. 🧡

🟠 BITSHALA PUNE MEETUP

Bitcoin Cryptography: From Private Keys to Digital Signatures

This Saturday, 17 October 2026 | 5 - 7 PM

How does Bitcoin verify ownership without asking you to 'trust' anyone?

The answer lies in cryptography. But understanding it means going beyond the interface and into the mathematics and code that make Bitcoin work.

And that's the topic of discussion for this week's meetup. We will dig deeper into:

Entropy & Private Keys: How keys are generated and why randomness matters.

Digital Signatures: How ownership can be proven without revealing private keys.

UTXOs & Transactions: How Bitcoin tracks spendable value and authorises transactions.

Network Verification: How transactions are checked against Bitcoin’s rules.

If you're a developer, an engineer, or a technically curious builder ready to understand Bitcoin beyond the surface, you'll find your people here.

Last week, we explored Schnorr Proofs of Knowledge. Tonight, we go deeper into ECDSA and see exactly why nonce reuse is so dangerous.

A 256-bit private key can be protected by some of the most sophisticated mathematics in Bitcoin.

But reuse one nonce & the math can give the private key back.

We’ll break down:
• Fiat-Shamir: How interactive proofs become signatures
• ECDSA: The signing equation, security properties, and its evolution toward Schnorr and Taproot
• Nonce Reuse: How two signatures can reveal the private key, step by step

A Bitcoin transaction. No internet.

At our last BOSS Summit in Dharamshala, a builder broadcast a Bitcoin transaction over mesh radio, with no Wi-Fi and no mobile data, live in the room.

That demo sums up what the BOSS Summit is for. We bring India's Bitcoin open-source developers, designers and educators together to work on real problems. There's no stage and no sales pitch. Just builders, code and candid feedback.

At Bitshala, a Pathshala for Bitcoin, this is our everyday work. We help developers enter and thrive in Bitcoin FOSS through:
→ Study cohorts, from Mastering Bitcoin to Protocol Development
→ Clubs for Bitcoin Core PR reviews, Optech, Kernel and reading
→ A paid fellowship for developers, designers and educators
→ Bitspace, our hackerspace in Bengaluru
→ Our incubator, hackathons like BOSS Battle, and the BOSS Summit

The next BOSS Summit is in Jaipur.

It's invite-only, but we've opened 10 Session Passes for students and developers who want to be in the room.

Session Pass, Oct 27–29:
• All sessions, workshops and demos
• Lunch included
• Stay and Bitmela pass not included

If you're building on Bitcoin, Lightning, Nostr or eCash, or you want to start a career in open-source Bitcoin development, this is a good place to begin.

What if your Bitcoin wallet didn’t need an app, or even a smartphone?

During BOSS Battle 2026, our hackathon for Bitcoin builders, Anipy built DialSats: a Bitcoin wallet you can call. It works from any phone that can make calls and send SMS.

Here’s the flow in the demo:
→ Text “Hi” to the DialSats number
→ DialSats calls you back
→ A voice guides you through setup on your keypad
→ Your Lightning address arrives by SMS

According to the builder, it also lets you send and receive, take in dollars, and buy bitcoin with INR peer-to-peer.

Why this matters: billions of people still rely on basic phones, patchy data, or no data plan at all. Projects like this ask a simple question: how do we make Bitcoin usable for them, using the tools they already have?

🟠 Bitshala Meetup in Surat | Decoding Bitcoin (26-Sept-2026)

Our first meetup in Surat was a meaningful conversation around one question:

What problem was Bitcoin created to solve?

To understand any solution, one must first understand the problem it was created to solve.

We explored the history of money and the monetary problems Bitcoin emerged in response to, helping participants understand why Bitcoin is fundamentally different from just another asset.

A few wanted to go deeper, so we happily recommended The Bitcoin Standard by Dr. Saifedean Ammous and Broken Money by Lyn Alden as starting points.

Thank you, Surat. We’re just getting started. 🟠

There was a time when Bitshala was just 30 people in a Discord server.

A small group of people who were curious about Bitcoin, wanted to understand it a little better, and believed it was worth building around.

Today, that same community has grown to 3000+ on Discord, 3100+ on X, and nearly 1000 on LinkedIn.

But numbers are not what we see when we look at those milestones.

We see people.

People who came here to learn and build, asked questions, shared ideas, opened pull requests, attended meetups, mentored others, became fellows, made friends, and helped someone else take their first step into Bitcoin.

Some have been here since there were only 30 of us. Some joined just yesterday. Many have contributed in ways that may never be visible from the outside.

That is what makes this milestone meaningful to us. Not that the numbers have grown, but that so many people have grown with them.

Bitshala was built to create a place where people could come together, learn deeply, build openly, and contribute to something they believed mattered.

So to everyone who has been here from the beginning, and to everyone who joined somewhere along the way, thank you. 🙇‍♂️

You are not just part of Bitshala's story. You are the reason the story exists.

30 became 3,000+ and there is so much more to build 🧡
