We didn't decide the agenda for the meetup as it was formal discussion and Vishal Gupta the organizer gave us a surprise by bringing guest speakers which had came for the conference called "black arrow conference" here in Mumbai.

So the session started by explaining What is Bitcoin and How it works easily explained by the Speaker Vishal Gupta and then followed by Amith Nirgunarthy and Alejandro DeLaTorre
After that, the Speaker from BitBank.com also known for bw.com presented his slide show and explained about evolution of Bitcoin in China where his company is located in Shenzen
We talked about BitBank and there chip manufacturing company called Bw.com and who's one of the top largest Bitcoin mining company and Bitcoin regulations in China, wondering about media news which creates propaganda.
One of the attendee "Allwyn John D’Souza" who's from Canada seen that Bitcoin meetup is happening here in Mumbai so he joined us and explained us about Private Keys and Public keys all the geeky stuff who runs a website called bitcoin101.ca
Told us that it's time for us to invest in altcoins and get ready you make losses two things can happen to you either you lose money if you go the wrong way or you'll make a lot of money if done things correctly at right time.
So investing money into crypto currencies and keeping patience will bring you the fortune.
He told that Augur altcoin is going to be listed in Coinbase soon so it has high potential.

We had a deep discussion on the Bitcoin Cash BCC some folks say it's free money.
Then someone said Blockchain.info gives us access to private keys heard this, others said Jaxx wallet is good had a good debate, cold storage wallet discussion came in between like Trezor hardware wallet.
Some of the newbies asked why blockchain and why computing power is required to mine this Bitcoins and Cryptos.
Alejandro DeLaTorre from BTC.com wallet said they are working with enable funding options for Indian residents to purchase bitcoins using btc.com wallet.
They highly support internationalization that's the reason they already have their app is in Hindi too so that's a good news for Indians.
