I furnished a list of items to a newly wed couple (South Indian) who are setting up their home in B'lore. This list is indicative & should serve as a ready reckoner just so that they wont have to scratch their head thinking what is needed. Additions/deletions will be there 1/n
Cot - Instead of a Double Cot, suggest go for 2 Single Cots and join them together. This way one gets more space, and it is easy to clean under the Cots. 3/n
4 Pillows
At this stage guest cot is not required
2 Seater Dining Table with 2 Chairs should suffice and saves space
4 Plastic/ Deck Chairs that can be stacked 4/n
Wet Grinder Table Top - 1.5 litres
An Electrical Orange Squeezer is a small but good investment
Microwave oven 20 Litres - Good for reheating
Gas Stove - 3 Burner. Dont buy cooking range. It is a waste 6/n
Pressure Cooker 5 litres - Though everyone likes Prestige, I am a great Hawkins fan, as it is considered to be more safe
Coconut scrapper/Carrot shredder
Tea Stainer
Coffee Filter or Percolator 7/n
Aqua Guard Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier (this is essential) 8/n
Buy a noiseless ceiling fan. You can think of one Table or Pedestial Fan too
Water Heater - 20 Ltrs - good brand 9/n
Go for Steel Wardrobes. Godrej will be very expensive. Try local makes. Ask for the gauge thickness. Take 24/22. 24 for doors and 22 for shelf. 6 Ft wardrobe x 2 nos is enough for now. 10/n
one big bucket to store water and 2 x 20 litre buckets
2 Tables and Office Chairs for official work especially as you might be on WFH
Wifi Router 11/n

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.
The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.
This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.
The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."
This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
If everyone was holding bitcoin on the old x86 in their parents basement, we would be finding a price bottom. The problem is the risk is all pooled at a few brokerages and a network of rotten exchanges with counter party risk that makes AIG circa 2008 look like a good credit.
