RUM AND CARROTS: A PIRATE LIFE FOR ME

I had someone ask me specifically about using Bitcoins to send payments in India recently. It was in regards to paying workers directly so they aren't exploited by their supervisors/bosses. One of the biggest challenges I could see was the lack of an exchange in India but perhaps if they used it as a primary currency amongst some people it wouldn't be necessary.

Needless to say, I will be keeping a very close eye on this.

I think India is one of the countries with the largest use of cash. Perhaps they've been waiting for bitcoin all this time

Landscaping Bitcoin for India!

Things seem to be moving along well in Bangalore, however India is huge and we need more initiatives across the country to make Bitcoin happen faster.
