We build in the real world. Physical spaces, in person events, meetups, seminars, universities, partnerships and tons of weekly media. A lot of people hide behind online presence. The bitcoin learning center does the harder thing. Bitcoin education isn’t glamorous or lucrative, but the mission is bigger than ourselves.

We have watched Burmese students learn how to secure their own keys not because they want profits, but because they want tomorrow. #Bitcoin

Not bad for a small education center that does not sell a product or service and teaches in a language spoken by less than one percent of the population. image

We are built to be sustainable, and your partnership has allowed us to extend our reach and accelerate our education driven mission.

Educating people about Bitcoin in Thailand is still very much a work in progress, it requires sustained, long-term effort. Here we are at the university again this week.

Thailand Bitcoiners built a software tool that lets high schools and universities teach how Bitcoin works by simulating mining blocks, how mining works and how transactions flow. This test-net environment is a powerful demonstration without having to wait or experience fees or fear losses while experimenting and learning.

One of the most impressive Bitcoin education tools we have ever seen was shared with us today by Thai developers who are Bitcoiners and community leaders. Still in its earliest stage before any pitch deck or business model, yet already showing rare clarity and purpose. This is what real grassroots innovation looks like.
