“Bangalore already has two meet-up groups with over 500 active members. One of the groups, the Bangalore Bitcoin Creativity Crew also met last weekend. It was organised by Benson Samuel, an early adopter of bitcoin in India. ‘Across India I do believe that we have crossed over 1,000 members who regularly attend the meet-ups,’ said Samuel. ‘Step one in the direction that I am pushing is to start meet-ups in as many cities in India as possible.’ The other meet-up group in India’s Silicon Valley is organised by Vikram Nikkam and Sathvik Vishwanath. The duo also run Unocoin, India’s bitcoin exchange.”
