Namaskar steem punks, my name is Naga, I’m from North India but I live in state of Goa. Naga means snake by the way! Can’t let the opportunity pass to say what privilege it is to be part of this altruistic visionary concept Steemit, what i grasp of it so far anyway. Im looking forward to adding my take on the fast developing crypto scene over here, which is going into orbit, plus some homely local stories of masala and intrigue.
Everyone associates Goa with coconut trees, beaches, its signature fish-curry-rice, and of course the psy-trance party scene. It’s a place that draws a lot of creative’s, revolutionaries, and gypsy souls from all over the world in winter season.
My wife and I run a chai bar-cafe and high speed internet lounge during the tourist seasonal months, kind of hippie place with a touch of boho slow food movement, and guess what, we were first eatery to openly accept BTC in India!! ( well I think)
We were encouraged by the number of people also coming forward to use our place as an BTC exchange point. It became a kind of hub for traveller crypto nerds lurking in the shadows, and alot of useful exchanges on security and trading were shared amongst the community. Next season kicks off in November after the rainy season ends.
We also run an animal ashram and hospice for abandoned, cruelly treated, or sick strays, dogs and cats mostly, at our home. Sadly it is an ingrained social norm to dump puppies and kittens in the jungle, tied sacks, and garbage heaps in local markets. My wife has a daily duty where she checks and recovers them in the main municipal market. She doesn’t take even a single day off this heart wrenching work. Having animals is tying, we don’t get to travel around as much these days, road journey in India are must, Enfield or open Jeep prefer, on the sticky dusty mother of all Indian highways.
Looking forward to it.....
