Emerging Markets & Bitcoin
summary
Teams describe building actual products: a Bitcoin rewards app in India, a Filipino Lightning provider with 230 merchants accept Bitcoin on a Bitcoin Isle pilot, and a custody/payments stack aiming for a billion users. Concrete wins include 11 schools and wells already built, a living model where Bitcoin miners fund micro-hydro anchor tenant model projects that turned one village plant into a bankable 500 kW rollout, and remittance flows (roughly $60M/day to the Philippines) as a target.
