Helping anyone in the world move value with Lightning ⚡️
We sat down with Prashanth, Founder & CEO of Bringin, to talk about how they’re making Bitcoin usable in everyday life.
Bringin’s goal is simple: help people live on Bitcoin. Buy and sell from any wallet, spend even when a merchant doesn’t accept BTC, and send or receive value anywhere in the world.
Like most products, the idea was born from a problem.
When Prashanth moved from India to Estonia, he was paid in BTC but waited days (sometimes weeks) to access euros while banks made the whole process a nightmare. For Prashanth, holding Bitcoin was easy. Using it? Not so much.
It was from that frustration that the spark for Bringin was born.
They’ve spent the last 18 months focused on building the best experience for users in beta, and have now gone public, helping Bitcoiners across Europe use Bitcoin the way they want to: from paying rent and bills to moving value across borders.
And to deliver the best UX with an effortless developer experience, Bringin went nodeless with the Breez SDK.
The whole build took just “two to three weeks,” avoiding the headaches of building on Lightning. No node setup, no channel management, no liquidity issues. Just value moving freely from one person to the next, leaving the Bringin team free to focus on building for real-world adoption.
