👋 Hello, Nostr! Since we are new here, let us tell you more about what we are doing and how we are 🍊💊'ing the world. We’re currently running the Plan ₿ Tech School—an 8-week premium course for developers. Students learn from top #Bitcoin professionals, compete through assignments and the top 21 earn a spot in a week-long in person bootcamp to collaborate, network and prepare to be new Bitcoin devs! 🚀 This week featured three really cool masterclasses:🎓✨ 🛠️ First, @danielabrozzoni, Bitcoin dev, showed students how easy it can be to contribute to Bitcoin via open source. A key takeaway from her session:💡 Grants can empower developers with freedom to innovate, but they also bring responsibility. ☠️ Next was Peter Todd, delivering "Bitcoin is Doomed," he unpacked technical challenges and trade-offs in Bitcoin's design. In his session, a standout moment was one of his main concerns: "I honestly worry about dependencies," he shared, and went deep into challenges and incentives within Bitcoin's protocol. ⚡ Then Tadge Dryja, coauthor of the Lightning Network White Paper, closed the week exploring the intricacies of scaling Bitcoin with the Lightning Network & even a masterclass on DLCs! A not so shocking insight was that fears of legal repercussions are holding back further advancements in DLC technology. image 🔥 A week packed with high-quality Bitcoin content comes to a close! Now, it's time for the students to roll up their sleeves, apply their knowledge and keep building on their assignments. Let's see what they create next! 💻✨

Hello, Nostr! We are Plan ₿ Network, and we’re absolutely thrilled to finally step into the purple space! Plan ₿ Network was born when two of the most passionate Bitcoiners on Earth decided to join forces to do what they love most: educating people about #Bitcoin. Basically they can’t get enough of babbling on and on about how Bitcoin is the greatest money ever invented, sprinkled with plenty of conspiracy theories for good measure. Naturally, the best way to ensure their message reached everyone was to create an open-source, centralized library of top-tier educational content and host a ton of classes along the way. And who are these two passionate Bitcoiners I keep talking about? None other than the legendary and inimitable @Rogzy and @Giacomo Zucco. The legend says they sat down at a lovely café in Lugano, and together, they gave birth to this crazy institution we now call Plan ₿ Network. We’re not sure who was holding whose hand during the process, but one thing is for certain: with Rogzy’s creative genius and Giacomo’s irresistible Italian charm, the outcome was destined to be world-changing. That’s us in a nutshell, a team of collaborators who are madly in love with Bitcoin and incredibly humbled to be part of this great orange-pilling mission. So, what’s the coolest part about Plan ₿ Network? It’s the simplicity: anyone can join. We welcome collaborators of all kinds. Educators, contributors, developers, translators, researchers, designers, organizers, maintainers, and, my personal favorite, dreamers. (Though I might be a bit biased because, well, I love being a dreamer.) Check out our GitHub (https://github.com/PlanB-Network/bitcoin-educational-content) to learn more about all the crazy ways collaborators make the magic of Plan ₿ come together, who knows maybe you want to join us too? And for this writer, who am I? Deep questions here… Officially, I go by the title Head of Chaos, but many of you know me as @Marce 💜 from the @The Nostr Report and as one of the organizers of the @nostrasia conferences. Today, I’m thrilled to be writing to the best purple audience about what’s been keeping my days busy: my first FOSS passion, Bitcoin communities or how we now like to call them “nodes”. Meet “some” of the Team The Plan ₿ Network team is vast, diverse, full of incredible people and spread almost around every corner of the world. For instance, there’s @npub1t0g7...cd3n, our unstoppable Head of International Expansion, who spends his days traveling around the globe, setting up nodes to ensure Bitcoin education can continue long after we’re all gone. Then there’s @npub1ezae...8utn, our Chief Operations Officer also known as “The Survivor of the Chaos”, the most patient person on our team, who helps bring order to the never ending amount of entropy Rogzy, Giacomo, and I tend to create. These are just two examples of the amazing people who make up our ever-growing team. A team that is now beyond excited to be here, learning from all you nostriches. Together, we’re exploring ways to advance freedom and help others understand the magic that happens among all the relays, notes, and other stuff that keeps this space uncensored and alive. We’d love to hear from you! Who should we interview? What should we do to ensure we’re learning and sharing the Nostr journey and its growth? Drop your recommendations, insights, or even a friendly “hello.” Your input will help us continue our mission of sharing the process that makes this community free. Thank you for welcoming us into the purple space. Let’s keep building, learning, and inspiring together! Stay Classy Nostr™️ @Marce 💜 image
