In the living room of the Orange House created by Family Peter Kroll, at Eden Mall on Curaçao we drink 2 Teas (2 T) with our students! We pour the Ts in our Bitcoin cups! These are not ordinary Ts! These are the two Ts of financial literacy. A balance sheet T and an earning statement T!!! You see the Ts? You need this to understand assets and liabilities. You need these Ts (teas) to taste what Fractional Banking is about. Because once you know these two Ts you know where to put your assets and your liabilities (on the balance sheet) and where to put your revenues and your expenditures, on the earnings statement. Every time you enjoy your breakfast you will now think about your Ts. I love teaching our students of My First Bitcoin about how banking works!! And by teaching I learn more! As an economist with a masters degree in economics you would expect me to know how banking works and how savings are invested. Guess what: that is not how it works. Money is created as debt out of thin air! They did not teach me that in Rotterdam!!! This is lesson 4, about Fiat Money, of the My First Bitcoin. I created a spreadsheet bank for you. Lets say you deposit 1 million dollars. Have a seat! Coffee or tea? Runy #MyFirstBitcoin #Curaçao #IslandWealth #Banking

This is my dream: a yellow porsche carerra cabrio That was my dream. Because during lesson 4 of the My First Bitcoin Education Program where we teach about the Fiat System and Fractional Banking I discussed with my students what an asset was and what a liability was. I showed them how banks use your deposits to create more debt. To create money out of nothing and why your liability is their asset. A mortgage A bank loan A credit card I had to start with assets and liabilities to show them how fractional banking works. When I discovered Bitcoin I realized that dream car is a liability. That would take money out of my pocket. Runy #IslandWealth #Curaçao image

My First Bitcoin had an Educator Training Program!! Here is my proof of work that I completed it!! After you do the 10 week’s Mi Primer Bitcoin Certification and graduated as a student you can follow this program and start your own cohort! You can apply to become a light educational node or a full node, who can vote. This is how the My First Bitcoin Community exponentially grows around the world. Turn instructors into more students. Turn graduated students that want to teach into certified instructors. We invest in training new educators. We invest into using AI for education. We invest in creating engaging exercises for the lessons. We open source everything on github. So if you want to start your own cohort: apply for the next round! #MyFirstBitcoin #Certification #Curaçao #BTCCuraçao @BTCCuracao @Arnold Hubach @My First Bitcoin image

I’m so happy to see the impact that #Bitcoin has in the lives of my students of #MyFirstBitcoin. So I told them they need to come up with and sell me a service or product and I would pay them 1 dollar! With Lightning! Here a student who is a gym coach abd trainer sold me an exercise! And another student sold me a piece of a cake he baked and brought! I go the extra mile teaching My First Bitcoin. On small islands like Curaçao, where almost 25% of the households are considered poor, receiving money is not an option or luxury, it is a neccesity! Not everyone has a bank account! You need 3 past salary slips to get a bank account, and not everybody can provide a formal salary slip! Many people work in the informal sector, in construction, gardening, cleaning houses, cooking, creating crafts. Exporting services online and receiving credit card payments online, through your website is not for everybody. As an online digital coach and trainer I can tell you how difficult it was to get this done! So that is why I train and educate my students to download a Lightning wallet asap and sell something to me. Are you selling something online? Are you getting paid in SATS? Let me know!

Fiat Money To understand how Fiat Money is used by banks to create more money through fractional reserve banking, I created a bank spreadsheet of our fake Kura Piedra Bank. You need to understand assets and liabilities. In lesson 4 of My First Bitcoin we discuss these topics with our students.

What is money? Explaining to students in the My First Bitcoin 10 weeks Certification Program what money is. We use many games and exercises to teach #Bitcoin. Here you see students trying to barter to the goods they need. They experience there is no coincidence of wants: you are a shoemaker with 1000 shoes and you want fish. And you are a fisherman with 1000 fish and you want bread. Then using silver coins and golden coins that everybody wants makes the trade easier. But wait. When you realize that your golden coins can get debased by clipping them and changing the gold for copper. It all happens through a fast sleigth of hands. Don’t trust anybody, verify. Don’t even trust me as a teacher. Because I clipped that coin. @BTCCuracao @My First Bitcoin Runy #BTC #MyFirstBitcoin #Curaçao #BTCCuraçao @Arnold Hubach @Huxley
