📢 𝐌𝐲 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 $𝟏 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 #𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝
May 13, 2025 – We are proud to announce that My First Bitcoin has received a $1 million grant from #startsmall. With this financial support from Jack Dorsey's philanthropic initiative, we will continue to serve grassroots Bitcoin education initiatives worldwide.
This grant accelerates our work in the creation and distribution of free and open-source Bitcoin education materials and infrastructure. It will not only help us improve existing resources, such as the Bitcoin Diploma, Bitcoin Intro Course, and teacher training workshops, but also to scale our digital platforms like our Online School and Community Hub.
As a non-profit, founded in 2021, we have grown from a local project into a global movement. Besides creating curricula and frameworks, our team has directly taught tens of thousands of in-person students, as we workshop and refine our materials based on real world feedback.
In 2023, we launched the Independent Bitcoin Educators Node Network, providing a space for others to join us on our mission. The network spans 65+ projects from 35+ countries, including circular economies, meetup organizers and other grassroots projects. All commit to the same six pillars: that their education is independent, impartial, community-led, Bitcoin-only, quality, and focused on empowerment over profit.
While we support that network, it is now self-governing. We always seek to give power-to, rather than have power-over.
John Dennehy, founder and Executive Director of My First Bitcoin, explains:
“The revolution of Bitcoin education is that it teaches students HOW to think, not WHAT to think. Funding from sources with their own incentives is the greatest vulnerability that threatens that. Education will be captured by whoever funds it. We will never take any government money and frequently turn down funding from corporations and companies. The subtle influence of funding has ruined fiat education and we need to create alternative models for the revolution of Bitcoin education to realize its full potential.”
Funding for Bitcoin education must be transparent.
This grant is a huge win for all of us. For Bitcoin itself, but even more for Independent Bitcoin Education as a whole. It enables us to serve the global community better than ever before. It shows everyone what can be achieved if you stay close to your values. “My First Bitcoin is a proof-of-concept for all independent Bitcoin educators that if you stay on the mission, even when it's challenging, then you will come out the other side even stronger,” added Dennehy.
Arnold Hubach, Director of Communications of My First Bitcoin, continued:
"Open source money deserves open source education. Over the past few years, we’ve seen growing demand for our resources around the world, and we remain committed to serving everyone in the Bitcoin space who needs support. This funding enables us to plan further into the future and continue being the first-stop provider of free educational tools."
We’re grateful to #startsmall for believing in our mission and for understanding that Bitcoin education should always be free from external influence. We’re also grateful to the community for helping us to arrive at this point where we are ready to receive such a grant. You lead us to where we are today. You have been our primary funding source. You will continue to lead us forward.
We will always serve the community.
We’re also grateful for our amazing team and their proof of work. The grant will accelerate the work that they are already doing, such as curricula development, teacher training programs, the expansion of the global network, building online platforms, and providing in-person classes.
We will continue to lead by example, we will continue to push the limits, and we will continue to reimagine what’s possible. We do not seek to please power in this world, we seek to create a proof-of-concept for a better one where the individual is empowered and able to think critically.
If you are an educator in need of tools or infrastructure; please contact us. If you can help us continue to build out these tools and maintain this growing global movement; please contact us. If you are aligned with our mission and are a supporter of independent Bitcoin education, please donate.
We work for the public. In public.

🆕 Update on the Youth Curriculum we have been working on, alongside the The Little HODLer and the El Salvador government.
In May 2024 we signed an MOU with the Bitcoin Office El Salvador
to contribute to the creation of a Youth Curriculum for the school system in El Salvador. As we never take any government funding—to always be independent—our condition was that the material created be open-source and free to use by any educator in the world. This has generated a lot of interest and we are receiving lots of questions about when the books will become available.
There are three parts to a project such as this: content, design & distribution. We have only been involved with the first part and our work there is complete. As far as we know the launch will be in late May and after that the open-source version will be available online.
If you are in El Salvador and interested in a sneak peak this weekend, please see the message below.
We appreciate your patience.

This week @EducacionSV (MINED) took charge of bitcoin education in the public school system in El Salvador.
Why is this great news?
MINED is now fully capable of teaching bitcoin education in the school system, which means 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐬, 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲-𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧—and together we can teach even more people!
Let’s rewind…
My First Bitcoin began in August 2021 when there was no bitcoin education in El Salvador, except from the OG circular economy project, @Bitcoinbeach.
The first months we spent recruiting locals around the nation who were interested in teaching in their own communities—in houses, churches, cafes, parks, literally anywhere and everywhere we could. By early 2022 school directors began to ask if we could teach in their schools while they waited for a government program. We dove in, creating a new 10-week curriculum. There was incredible curiosity in those early days and as the first to teach about Bitcoin in the school system, we did our best to satisfy that need.
In late 2022, after plenty of real-world testing and improvements, we open-sourced the Bitcoin Diploma.
In 2023 the government used our Diploma as its primary source material to build its own custom version. We held classes for MINED admin and managerial staff and, along with Bitcoin Beach, we trained 500 public school teachers, who then began to teach in their own schools. After the last training group was finished in 2024, we told MINED that we believed they were ready, suggested they form a Bitcoin Department in order to really scale, and that we’d be happy to help.
Last week MINED instructed schools we were working at to cease activities with us, presumably because they are ready to lead. At one of the schools where we were teaching we had already told the students and announced publicly that we planned a big graduation for them at the end of April. @NodeNationSV has taken over the Bitcoin Diploma program there, and thankfully those students will still get a graduation the same week we had planned for them. Late April is also when two new workbooks for children (grades 2 & 3), that we collaborated on with the Little HODLer, will launch in the public school system.
It's been an honor to be a part of this. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐃.
Bitcoin education in the public school system has come a long way. Each year we taught more students in the school system–from hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands, and we are hoping that growth will continue with government and allied educators.
𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 to take charge rather than to dictate to them. Empowering others is Bitcoin; consolidating control is fiat.
This change will also allow us to accelerate the international work we began in 2023–creating open-source tools and frameworks that any independent educator can tap into. That self-governing network is now active in 𝟑𝟗 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 and growing quickly.
The future is bright for #BitcoinEducation, both here in El Salvador and around the world! 🌎

Education will be captured by those who fund it. That also applies to Bitcoin education.
Open source money needs open source education.
It must be independent & impartial.
It must be community-led & decentralized.
We should protect this. Together.

🆕 We’re very proud to launch our updated 𝐁𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐦𝐚 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 today!
✨ https://github.com/MyFirstBitcoin/Bitcoin-Diploma-2025
Our mission is to open source #bitcoin education. To not just be a leader in El Salvador, but to be an inspiration for the entire world.
This starts with making our educational resources available to everyone for free, and the Bitcoin Diploma may be the best example of this idea. 🇸🇻🗯🌍
In 2022, we started teaching this workbook to 38 public school teachers in El Salvador. Last year, it was embraced by over 50 educational projects from more than 30 countries. The Bitcoin Diploma is indirectly supporting grassroots initiatives with tools to implement in their local community.
📣 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐰𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐦𝐚 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓!
https://myfirstbitcoin.io/mi-primer-bitcoin-launches-bitcoin-diploma-2025/
The Diploma highlights our core values: 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞, 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲-𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. As a result of that, the workbook is already being used in dozens of Bitcoin communities all around the world.
We’re always looking for synergy, and the translation of the workbook in any possible language plays a big part in that.
You can help us! Join the movement and become a Translation Maintainer. Fill in the form and become the change in your local community!⬇️
▶️ https://forms.gle/UghzyzjGqDgASb3N6
The #Bitcoin Diploma covers topics varying from the history of money, the emergence of fiat currencies, all the problems that today’s government money introduced to society, and how these issues lead to solutions.
It introduces Bitcoin, the Lightning Network, how to use it in your daily life, the technical workings, and why we need Bitcoin.
💯📡 Pure signal, radically empowering!

The last day to apply to be a speaker is TOMORROW
@npub17cy…4ml3
is hosting a Bitcoin Education unconference in San Salvador on Nov 6 (the day before
Adopting BTC El Salvador)
What is an unconference & why did we choose this format?
An unconfernce is decentralized and meant to empower the individual participant at the expense of a centralized body. In a true unconference the agenda isn't even set ahead of time, but rather at the start of the day by whoever attends.
We'll do a hybrid model for this first attempt:
The event will be divided into three areas. Indoors will be a more traditional setting with speakers, a stage, a microphone and lots of chairs facing one direction. Outside there will be a pre-organized space for thematic discussions, each with a lead to keep the group on track, but open for all to contribute. In the true spirit of an unconference, which is decentralized and where content and direction is decided by all participants, there will be an additional space outside whose schedule will be made the day of the event.
Why this format?
Because part of the mission of
@MyfirstBitcoin_
is to empower the individual; another part is to reimagine what's possible. This means we try a lot of new things. Then we learn from the experience and we do it better the next time.
We are NOT trying to copy 'success' in the legacy world. We are trying to reimagine it. Read more, apply to be a speaker & buy your ticket at the link in the comment below.

Hi, my name is Gerardo Moran.
I’m a 18 year old salvadorian who just came out from high school, where I had the chance to graduate from
@MyfirstBitcoin_
#BitcoinDiploma.
Now I’m a teacher myself👨‍🏫
Here’s my story🧵🔻
I was born in Concepción de Ataco⛰️, western #ElSalvador
And I’ve been working since I was 11 years old, in areas like construction & tourism.
So Proof-Of-Work has been present all my life⚙️🏋️‍♂️🛠️
Ever since, I’ve tried to reason why people in my country worked so much for so little money😔
Earning 6 dollars a day doing construction wasn’t feasible for me anymore❌, so I quit without knowing there was an opportunity ahead: #Bitcoin
In 2021 I heard a ‘magic internet money’ would be declared legal tender in #ElSalvador
Even though I didn’t knew anything about it, I got excited just to know a different type of money rather than the US Dollar would be circulating in my country.
Of course, I started to see a lot of resistance against Bitcoin among my neighbors.
People talked about volatility, scams & politics, but something said to me @nayibbukele decision about #Bitcoin was the right one for #ElSalvador
So I did like @ODELL says: “stay humble & stack sats” 🙏
I said to myself “people are not afraid of #Bitcoin, they’re just scared of the unknown”
That’s where I realized #education was everything El Salvador needed.
One day, my school called the students to get into the #BitcoinDiploma
I applied & excelled, thanks to our incredible teacher Napoleon Osorio,
@elisuademo, who also gave me & @VianaMPB the opportunity to become teachers.
We were selected among 60 students! We said YES!
We now proudly educate people in the western region of #ElSalvador
This job has brought me opportunities I never thought possible.
It allows me to work, continue my studies & meet people while passing this knowledge to students not too younger than me
That way, I’ve been able to socialize and visit places I never imagined.
I've also had the chance to meet the amazing stories of My First Bitcoin team.
Listening to their experiences & how they talk about #Bitcoin has expanded my knowledge about this topic.
I’m also training & teaching the #BitcoinDiploma to a group of 8 senior professors at Antonio J. Alfaro school in Concepcion de Ataco, where I went to high school.
I did #startsmall, but now I’m leading #Bitcoin education in my hometown!
Being an inexperienced young person and having this opportunity is such a privilege
I want to show people what #Bitcoin is (and what it’s not).
For me it represents freedom as individuals and as a country 🇸🇻.
#Bitcoin changed my life

Hey, I’m @npub18rj…fxch
I am the community builder of
@npub17cy…4ml3 in #ElSalvador & I also run
BitDriver, the first taxi business in the country that operates solely on the #BitcoinStandard.
I’m on a mission to change the world.
Here’s my story:
I used to work in the boring world of banks, “helping” people with loans and credit
cards🥴
But one day, I took a trip to El Zonte & I discovered #Bitcoin from a lady who sold us a
bag of ice.
We bought it out of curiosity, not knowing how this episode would change my life
During the pandemic, I saw a newspaper story about Bitcoin being called “digital
gold”.
I wanted to learn more, but it was hard to find information in Spanish.
I searched on Facebook but I couldn't find any helpful groups but scams.
In 2021, our president Nayib Bukele announced #Bitcoin as legal tender in #ElSalvador.
I was SHOCKED about it & started explaining to my family and friends what this meant.
Little did I know, my life was about to change. One day I lost my job and started driving for Uber.
But one of those trips changed everything. Four foreigners got in, and we heard news
about protests against #Bitcoin adoption.
One of the passengers was
John Dennehy, founder of
@npub17cy…4ml3 , and he
asked me if I could give him an interview.
That’s how I became the first student of
@npub17cy…4ml3 and received classes
directly from John
I quickly understood everything about #Bitcoin . This was just the beginning.
Then, I had an idea: I wanted to offer my taxi service and accept #Bitcoin.
It felt like magic once I began doing it!
my first announcement for AdoptingBTC2021
That’s how I became the first driver in #ElSalvador to accept #Bitcoin & named my company ‘Bitdriver’
From working in the traditional financial system to being able to provide transportation
services for the huge amount of people visiting #ElSalvador
Working on education at
@npub17cy…4ml3 has changed my life.
And just as I change, I want the lives of my people, of my country to change, and that
can only be achieved with education and patience.
We knew we had to #startsmall before we expanded, but now we’re ready to go to
the next level.
We’ve received donations and support from
Jack , Greg Foss, Bitcoin Beach, Blink Wallet , Bitfinex , Looking Glass and PayStand
And we are just getting started.
Onward!

In March we broke another record and taught 5,400 in-person intro students in El Salvador 🚀, smashing our previous high of 1,400 😲. And we will not slow down.
If this growth continues, we'll be able to educate, free, and empower millions of people in the next few years, and help accelerate rapid Bitcoin adoption 📈🔥. But we won’t do it alone – we need your help 💪.
This mission – to empower a nation with #BitcoinEducation and create a positive example for the world, is too important, too urgent ❗There are very few times in life where a series of small actions can have massively asymmetric returns. We are living through one of those times now.
Our efforts to onboard new people and communities onto the #BitcoinStandard have exceeded our projections, but this rapid expansion has brought about unforeseen challenges 😅. We need funds to sustain our progress and keep our momentum going.
We're grateful to our supporters for helping us and doing everything they can to help Humanity by accelerating Bitcoin adoption.
Thank you to #[0] , #[1] , #[2] , #[3] , and everyone else who's contributed to the mission 👏.
We've taught thousands of students in El Salvador and beyond, and our 10-week Bitcoin Diploma program is now used in the public school system, and we’re starting to see MPB Diploma initiatives all over the world 🌎.
Our vision for the rest of 2023 is to:
Continue focusing on El Salvador’s success
Expand into new regions
Triple the size of our staff
Improve our curriculum
Work with Bitcoin companies on a job board for MPB graduates 💼💡.
Help us achieve our goals by making a direct donation, volunteering time, or simply liking and retweeting this so more people can get involved. Support our crowdfund campaign on
@GeyserFund
here: https://geyser.fund/project/miprimerbitcoinbiggestgraduationinmay 🙌💰.
We want to thank our anonymous donor who's offered to cover the cost of air travel and an invitation to our largest graduation yet of 415 students in El Salvador on May 12th, if we can get 1,000 likes and retweets 👏🎉.
🚀🎉🏆 Help us reach 1 BTC by April 30th and get a chance to win free air travel!
🌍Let's break records and raise 2 BTC for Bitcoin education in El Salvador 🇸🇻!
