September’s leaderboard is in. 🏆 From Indonesia to Haiti, communities around the world are growing Bitcoin education from the ground up. Every class taught. Every student reached. Every community strengthened. ⚡ Congrats to this month’s Top 5! 🌍🧡 @BitcoinIndo21 @Bitcoin Victoria Falls @Bitbiashara Full Leaderboard: leaderboard.myfirstbitcoin.org image
We believe Bitcoin needs more education! Education that helps people understand Bitcoin for themselves. That encourages critical thinking instead of telling people what to think. And that remains independent of governments and corporate interests. That's what we're building at My First Bitcoin. We empower educators around the world with open-source resources, tools, infrastructure, and a global network — so they can bring independent Bitcoin education into their own communities. Our independence comes from being funded by the community we serve: the Bitcoin community. If you believe Bitcoin needs more independent education, help us make it possible.

My First Bitcoin is restructuring around its Education Network: a smaller team, lower costs, and a single focus—empowering those who empower others. This is how we scale the mission: we will make it easier for bitcoin educators to get started, and likelier for them to succeed, by building the materials, infrastructure and community a global movement needs. This is the final step in a years-long transition from direct educator to global infrastructure. My First Bitcoin becomes what the movement needs its center to be: lean, focused, and in service of 213 independent educators and 80+ education projects across 48 countries, each teaching or preparing to teach their own community, in their own language, on their own terms. The whole My First Bitcoin team is now fully dedicated to growing this Education Network.  Read the full announcement here: https://myfirstbitcoin.org/news/my-first-bitcoin-the-next-chapter  image
Today, we started filming the next episode of Bigger Than Bitcoin in Comuna 13 - one of the most creative and inspiring parts of Medellin, Colombia. We saw incredible art, felt the energy of the neighborhood, and spoke with several local merchants who already accept Bitcoin. A big thank you to Satoshi Team for taking us and @Kyle Huber on this journey and introducing us to this very special community. More soon. ⚡️🇨🇴
The Unconference in Medellin is just a few days away. We just checked out the venue at CEIPA University with Satoshi Team and @Kyle Huber ⚡️⚡️
For Bitcoin to grow beyond charts and market cycles, people need to understand why it matters. That happens through education. One educator can reach a classroom. One classroom can influence families. Those families can change a community. And when communities have the knowledge and tools to educate themselves, Bitcoin becomes something bigger than an asset people buy. That’s why we empower independent educators around the world and why our work is funded by the community we serve: the Bitcoin community. Help us create more Bitcoiners, not just more headlines.

Financial inclusion isn’t about access to the same broken system. It’s about empowering people through real education and tools. ⚡🟠 Bitcoin adoption in Africa is 🤯

Day 4 documenting how Bitcoin Education is unfolding real opportunities on the ground in Kenya! 🇰🇪 What seems like a small shop at first… is actually a system that brings together local businesses, shared space, and Bitcoin to create something bigger. 🧡 But beyond the model, it’s the people who make this real through their stories, their journeys, and their conviction, coming from different backgrounds and different lives, yet connected by one shared vision: using Bitcoin as a tool for opportunity and independence. We’re building a better world together. 🌎 And this is just the beginning...

We can’t rely on governments or corporations to deliver education that truly empowers people; they can’t build what they’re designed to control. Education that Empowers has to be built differently, from the ground up, independent, grassroots, and led by people who understand and care about their own communities. 🌎 Discover what we do and why it matters👇🏼
Meet & Greet in Paraguay 🇵🇾 Join us tomorrow and discover how Open Source Bitcoin Education is transforming the world and impacting communities worldwide. 🌎 @npub1lmw3...wkgp will share the story of how My First Bitcoin grew from a local idea into a global movement and what’s next for the future. 📚 📅 Thursday, Sept 25 · 7:00 PM 📍 Jazzcube, Asunción Don’t miss it! image
