During the first week of the Bitcoin Internship, I got the opportunity to meet many Tech Bitcoin experts worldwide. We took a deep dive into Bitcoin protocol and how we can enhance career opportunities through this Internship.

We got to hold a welcome session conducted by Summer of Bitcoin Admin Adi Shankara

During this session, we learned about different initial tasks like getting started with (TODOs), Stats of Summer of Bitcoin 2022, Expectations of the program from its selected interns and many different perks and opportunities this internship provides. ✨

For this year, out of 20k applications worldwide, only 82 interns from 15 different countries were selected, making it into Summer of Bitcoin in the first attempt and being a part of those 82 interns makes me feel overwhelmed. 🎉
