This week @EducacionSV (MINED) took charge of bitcoin education in the public school system in El Salvador. Why is this great news? MINED is now fully capable of teaching bitcoin education in the school system, which means 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐬, 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲-𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧—and together we can teach even more people! Let’s rewind… My First Bitcoin began in August 2021 when there was no bitcoin education in El Salvador, except from the OG circular economy project, @Bitcoinbeach. The first months we spent recruiting locals around the nation who were interested in teaching in their own communities—in houses, churches, cafes, parks, literally anywhere and everywhere we could. By early 2022 school directors began to ask if we could teach in their schools while they waited for a government program. We dove in, creating a new 10-week curriculum. There was incredible curiosity in those early days and as the first to teach about Bitcoin in the school system, we did our best to satisfy that need. In late 2022, after plenty of real-world testing and improvements, we open-sourced the Bitcoin Diploma. In 2023 the government used our Diploma as its primary source material to build its own custom version. We held classes for MINED admin and managerial staff and, along with Bitcoin Beach, we trained 500 public school teachers, who then began to teach in their own schools. After the last training group was finished in 2024, we told MINED that we believed they were ready, suggested they form a Bitcoin Department in order to really scale, and that we’d be happy to help. Last week MINED instructed schools we were working at to cease activities with us, presumably because they are ready to lead. At one of the schools where we were teaching we had already told the students and announced publicly that we planned a big graduation for them at the end of April. @NodeNationSV has taken over the Bitcoin Diploma program there, and thankfully those students will still get a graduation the same week we had planned for them. Late April is also when two new workbooks for children (grades 2 & 3), that we collaborated on with the Little HODLer, will launch in the public school system. It's been an honor to be a part of this. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐃. Bitcoin education in the public school system has come a long way. Each year we taught more students in the school system–from hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands, and we are hoping that growth will continue with government and allied educators. 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 to take charge rather than to dictate to them. Empowering others is Bitcoin; consolidating control is fiat. This change will also allow us to accelerate the international work we began in 2023–creating open-source tools and frameworks that any independent educator can tap into. That self-governing network is now active in 𝟑𝟗 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 and growing quickly. The future is bright for #BitcoinEducation, both here in El Salvador and around the world! 🌎

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.

🙏🏼 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... 👀🚀
