Three years ago today
MyFirstBitcoin (nprofile…jm6m) made history! They taught the first Bitcoin Diploma in a public school system (El Salvador) anywhere in the world.
There has been so much progress since...
That book shown in the photo...it was only the first 4 weeks of a 10-week Bitcoin Diploma. We were rushing to take advantage of an opportunity and only had weeks to prepare, so we were still building the program when the first classes began. Now, that same Bitcoin Diploma has been improved significantly, made open-source, translated into dozens of languages and used in dozens of nations
In April 2022, there was zero bitcoin education in the public schools in El Salvador or any other on-the-ground education efforts by the government. In late 2023 the Ministry of Education sent the first 150 teachers into schools to teach. They used the Bitcoin Diploma as a base, and were trained by teachers from My First Bitcoin & Bitcoinbeach. By the end of 2024 over 500 teachers were trained. This year the govt have taken over bitcoin education in the public schools
With plenty of new government and government-supported bitcoin educators now active,
MyFirstBitcoin (nprofile…jm6m) left the public school system in 2025 in order to work more on grassroots, community-led education and to shift toward a more international focus--creating open source materials, infrastructure and working directly with educators in 40 nations
This is incredible progress on all fronts--all in just three years!
Independent, impartial, community-led education will change the world. It already has.
