Bitcoin Forum

I am creating list of some oldest Bitcoin adaptor in India. Please help me extend the namelist to contact for news, bytes and information.

1. Dr. Neelam - ??
2. Amitabh - ??
3. Mahin Gupta - Buysellbitcoin
4. Samuel Benson - same
5. Gawrav Mehta - BTCIndia
6. Vishal Gupta - ??
7. Sathvik - Dashingriddler

I am aware of only these names. Help me extend the list and network.

There are many early adapters from India ,the list you have compiled are the people who started business relating to bitcoin and if you are looking for people who are into business then that is a very good list and you will never know the names of other early adapters as they like to have some privacy and security rather than boasting their wealth of coins to others.

Absolutely right! It is impossible to reach such people therefore my interest lies with people who are early adaptor and public. I wish to connect with them. Please name few!

Op know one knows actually how many were early adapter
,There are many who have btc at starting time of btc but why would they reveal themselves!

Yes there are quite a few early adopters, I know 2 people that are not on that list and I don't think they would want to advertise themselves...

Can you Inbox name with their permission? I wish to connect with them for purpose of research and input.

I don't see any legit motive in kind of research OP is doing.  Very first reason is to hunt down those early birds and use that information for malicious purpose. May be OP's intentions are not malicious but someone with evil nature would use that list.

It may look like that but I don't think OP has any bad intentions about making this thread. It's good to know who was the first to discover the potential of Bitcoin in India and thought of trying it. Though India is technologically advanced but that technology is being used by only some groups and that's pulling India behind from being on top.

Your concern is genuine. I assure you my clean intentions with this reply. Just wait for some time and you'll know why I've been actively looking for early adaptors from India.

Unless and until you reveal everything properly , no one is going to entertain you . Basically that is why forums are :)

Me started in late 2012 .. not sure where that puts me in the list.

There was a guy named Dishwasher -not his actual user name. Pretty colorful guy once you piss him off. If you were to trust his words, which many (including me) do, he is one of the first serious miners from India, he had a whole series of eruptor blades & all.

Escrow.ms is also from 2012. He was the biggest escrow on this forum and was one of the people with highest trust. He then was arrested for credit card fraud, spent a year in jail and returned to the forum a few days ago. He lost all his trust when the news came out.

Yes. Escrow.ms aka Pankaj Bharadwaj was associated with Coinsecure thereafter came news of him engaged in illicit activities. I wonder, who else is active from this forum because lot people approached me for trades in hard cash. Is he out? What is he doing these days?

P.S: I'm not so early adaptor. I got engaged 3-4 years after Satoshi mined genesis block. Every year is a decade in Bitcoin world. ;D

He is out on bail now. His trial starts next year. According to him, he was used as a scapegoat by the police. Just checked one of his old addresses. He got around 0.13 btc in payment which means he is still active in bitcoin world.

I found out about bitcoin in november 2013 and joined in 2014. If 3 years is old enough, I am also an old member :P

If I am not wrong his real name was Pankaj Bharadwaj and irrespecrive of his past, he should be allowed to be on that list because he joined up btc pretty early and was an important member of the community.

Bro, you're an old member too. I bestow up the title of an early adaptor. :P

You're right! Name should be updated on list.

If he's an old member then everyone is, I also joined the bitcoin space in mid 2013. 2013 was really late and was the time was bitcoin was all over the media because of its bloom. Old are the ones who saw potential in btc when the price was low and trusted it when no one else did. Else people will obviously start coming in during the price rise just in case of late 2013

Guys, please!!!  You are giving Indians a bad rep!

Sadly you are. I was talking about a guy who still has one of his topics pinned here on the Indian section.


.... to what end?

learn how to spell Nazi.  and periods.

but then you wouldnt be annoyed aet mai incarrect spalling of the wurd. Its gud to pees off peesfunks like ew.

Seems like a trick by the Income Tax department.  ::)

nice try but i don't get pissed off so easily and I can tell when someone's faking it!  ::)

I'm sure there's quite a few - but they would not want to reveal themselves for obvious reasons.

Every year that goes by, every new milestone that's hit, makes them all the more lucrative as a target.

Besides, who knows what the concept of nation states / countries looks like in 10-20-30 years.

Bitcoin has done the impossible - separated money from state.

Therefore, the concept of "Indian" early adopters, seems too short-sighted.

We can't find all the bitcoin holders and this is the speciality of bitcoin (cryptocurrency). So we can't find the early adopters in India. We not even find satoshi till now who has million of bitcoins.
