Bitcoin Accelerator on Mirissa Beach | James of Ârc SLP774

Most Asian markets still make buying and saving Bitcoin painfully
hard. James of Ârc argues the fix is not another protocol
breakthrough — it is local founders shipping simple DCA and
savings products market by market.

James joins me from Mirissa Beach, Sri Lanka, where Arc is
partnering with Fulgur Ventures on a continuous Bitcoin
accelerator. He is a former EY advisor and Playfair Capital
investor who previously built with Alexander Mann (now Fulgur GP)
and later sold Consequence, an early LLM-on-databases company.

The conversation covers why the program is continuous rather than
a six- or twelve-week cohort, how to apply at arc.lk/Fulgur, why
Sri Lanka ranks among his top-three country bets, the South Coast
talent melting pot, funding DCA apps across Asia even where
operators already exist, AI agents as Bitcoin users, and why
Strike expanding should not scare local founders.
