John Mcafee and Kohli Brothers all set to launch India’s biggest blockchain company

Blockchain is an open database or a book of records that stores all kinds of data. A blockchain database, in contrast to all other databases, is stored in real time, and anyone can access its entire history of data.

Blockchain is the technology that enables the existence of cryptocurrency. A cryptocurrency is an autonomous medium of exchange of digital currency that leverages cryptology to preserve the privacy of transactions and regulate the creation of the respective currency. Bitcoin is the best-known cryptocurrency, and eventually led to the invention of blockchain technology. Among the various crypto startups in the country, BitIndia is an exchange that brings Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin to the masses. BitIndia also has a Wallet.

BitIndia launched the Alpha version of its mobile wallet app on November 30, 2017. The wallet currently supports Ethereum. BitIndia Wallet is a blockchain wallet, which is a reorganised platform for the people of India, where they can store and make payments via digital currencies. BitIndia has its eyes set on bringing more Indians into the blockchain, by making them aware about cryptocurrencies, and offering a reliable and assured platform for the trade of blockchain and digital currencies in India.

BitIndia Wallet is a Secure wallet, and can be accessed on mobile platforms such as iPhones and Android devices, as well as on the desktop via any web browser. Unlike other wallets, the best part is that it is decentralised, which makes it highly secure, and all the user‘s information is safe and protected . The Alpha version of BitIndia Wallet supports transactions in Ethereum, and there are plans to support other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ripple and Litecoin in the future. Most importantly, it allows you to accept and transfer funds around the globe, and exchange with local currencies. Additional benefits for users include low transaction fees and freedom from scams. One of the most exciting features is that users have full access to their private keys, thereby making it a trustworthy and user-friendly wallet.

Blockchain technology is beyond Bitcoin and other such crypto currencies. In India, the first wave is apparent in the financial sector because financial institutions around the world have long been fascinated by blockchain technology – created by a network of computers, where each transaction made has a digital signature that cannot be forged – as it introduced a new way of executing and making financial transactions without a central authority. Indian banks like ICICI have already started using this technology in their international trade transactions.

Initiatives like BitIndia are trying to bridge that gap of awareness that exists not only amongst corporates and institutions, but also individuals. They are bringing this to the common man by enabling the exchange of crypto currencies, which are based on blockchain technology. BitIndia’s recently launched wallet, a reliable and convenient platform for payment and storage of digital currencies, is an assurance of their contribution towards Digital India.

Sahil Kohli says that "We believe in blockchain; we are the entrepreneurs of 2025"

Today, blockchain technology can usher in an era of smart contracts where all parties agree on executing a contract on available information digitally, and no one party can tamper with the information without others knowing, and with KYCs to make transactions transparent. Today, there are several startups working on blockchain technology, and corporates need to collaborate with them to understand how smart contracts work. One needs to look at the history of blockchain and how it has evolved to form a view on the future of blockchain before jumping on it as the panacea for the world.
