Open Source Money deserves Open Source Education. View quoted note →

Education will be captured by those who fund it. That also applies to Bitcoin education. Open source money needs open source education. It must be independent & impartial. It must be community-led & decentralized. We should protect this. Together. ❗️ Join us. Sign our Education Manifesto! ✍️👇 https://myfirstbitcoin.io/education-manifesto/

🆕 We’re very proud to launch our updated 𝐁𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐦𝐚 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 today! ✨ https://github.com/MyFirstBitcoin/Bitcoin-Diploma-2025 Our mission is to open source #bitcoin education. To not just be a leader in El Salvador, but to be an inspiration for the entire world. This starts with making our educational resources available to everyone for free, and the Bitcoin Diploma may be the best example of this idea. 🇸🇻🗯🌍 In 2022, we started teaching this workbook to 38 public school teachers in El Salvador. Last year, it was embraced by over 50 educational projects from more than 30 countries. The Bitcoin Diploma is indirectly supporting grassroots initiatives with tools to implement in their local community. 📣 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐰𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐦𝐚 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓! https://myfirstbitcoin.io/mi-primer-bitcoin-launches-bitcoin-diploma-2025/ The Diploma highlights our core values: 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞, 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲-𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. As a result of that, the workbook is already being used in dozens of Bitcoin communities all around the world. We’re always looking for synergy, and the translation of the workbook in any possible language plays a big part in that. You can help us! Join the movement and become a Translation Maintainer.

The #Bitcoin Diploma covers topics varying from the history of money, the emergence of fiat currencies, all the problems that today’s government money introduced to society, and how these issues lead to solutions. It introduces Bitcoin, the Lightning Network, how to use it in your daily life, the technical workings, and why we need Bitcoin. 💯📡 Pure signal, radically empowering! ➖ Download the 2025 Diploma here https://github.com/MyFirstBitcoin/Bitcoin-Diploma-2025 ➖ The list of translated languages of our Diploma https://github.com/MyFirstBitcoin/Translation ➖ Apply to become a Node in our Network!

🙏🏼 Financial update — full of gratitude! A few weeks ago, we wrote that we were nearly out of funds and needed the community's help. Throughout this process, we have strived to be as transparent as possible with our finances — both about how we raise money, but also how we spend it. We hope this becomes the standard for all #bitcoin education projects We cut salaries, delayed expenses and were days away from running out of funds. But no more! 💖 ❗️ We want to express massive gratitude to Paystand, Bitcoin Beach and the hundreds of individual donors who contributed to our campaign on @Geyser.

We received the funding to get us to some larger grants that we expect to receive near the end of the year. We bridged the gap — thanks to YOU. With crisis comes opportunity. We are stronger now for a few reasons... 1️⃣ We will implement an aggressive savings mechanism soon to build up reserves and avoid any future repeats. 2️⃣ We made a regular, annual schedule for grassroots funding campaigns (once in spring in El Salvador, once in fall online). 3️⃣ We've made significant internal structural changes to ensure better internal communication This isn't easy. Funding the project will always be a challenge. We will NEVER compromise our values or impartiality for funding — which eliminates most traditional sources. We will also continue to build out a global infrastructure for all independent bitcoin educators and give it all away (open-source everything). We are majority grassroots funded from people like you. and we hope you continue to give and help us grow. My First Bitcoin is a grand experiment to test the limits of what's possible today in order to reimagine what's possible tomorrow. And we are just getting started... 👀🚀
