I took this photo three years ago today: an anti-bitcoin mob destroyed a Bitcoin ATM downtown before setting it on fire
Sept 15th is independence day in El Salvador. In 2021 this was 8 days after Bitcoin became legal tender and there was plenty of local opposition. I spent all day with a couple of thousand people--to this day the largest protest I have seen in El Salvador. They spray painted walls, blocked traffic and chanted slogans. Finally, once downtown, the crowd destroyed and burned one of the new Bitcoin ATMs
I was still pretty new to the country and still trying to understand how people felt about Bitcoin to discover the best approach for @npub17cy…4ml3 The broad conclusion was that almost no one opposed to Bitcoin actually knew anything about it
I can't imagine this happening today. There is so much farther to go, but we've already come a long way

aren't there others though? or they all already peaked you're saying?

I've been using Nostr more lately
it's a significant upgrade from early 2023 when I first signed up, there is still some lag, but the progress is clear
I'm here for two reasons: first, censorship resistance
and I'm more specificly on Nostr due to social proof
plenty of people whose intelect and opinions I trust are on here
it's striking to me that nearly everyone I know seeking decentralized social media are going to Nostr and almost zero going anywhere else. why is that? is it mostly the later--choosing Nostr because others before you did? or is it mostly the former--chosing Nostr because it has better censorship resistance compared to other decentralized social media? Third option is just because Nostr has embraced Bitcoin more and my social circle is mostly bitcoiners.
curious about how Nostr came to dominate my social circle. why did you join Nostr and not a different alternative? social proof? better censorship resistance? zaps and other cool features? other?

My First Bitcoin needs your help
We are in danger of running out of funding before some longer-term funding kicks in at the end of the year. If nothing changes, we will run out of money in September.
How did we get here? Well, in order to remain independent, we leave A LOT of money on the table
But for this post I want to give greater transparency into our expenses
With time we will make financial transparency part of our official SOP and publish everything on our website, but in the meantime, some context
Expenses are varied—we rent a house which we converted into school, we develop various open-source curriculum, we give sats to students as part of classes, we host 50+ meetups per year, we are building a Learning Management System (LMS) that anyone will be able to use, and lots of other expenses but I want to focus on payroll, which is our largest single expense
We have 20+ paid staff in addition to project-based contract work we hire for on an as-needed basis. Teachers are the largest and most obvious group, but this number includes some less visible roles as well. We pay developers & designers to build out infrastructure to help independent educators across the world. We pay lawyers, accountants and auditors to help us be compliant in multiple jurisdictions. We pay creators of open-source curriculum, lesson plans and activities.
This staff is the backbone of an emerging global movement. The commonality among them all—they are all underpaid. Not only did every current staff begin as a volunteer, many of them have quit much higher paying jobs to work here—often earning less than half of what they made in their previous job. Our payroll is about $24,000 per month
We need your help to maintain and make it to the end of the year, when some new longer-term and more sustainable funding will kick in.

Today is @npub17cy…4ml3's birthday!
Three years ago today the website was registered, marking the first public record of the organization
I am overwhelmed at the success of the project in three short years--much of which was spent building in a bear market. In three short years this project has taught tens of thousands of students, open-sourced education materials and processes, and inspired front-line bitcoin educators in 25+ countries around the world who have joined a self-governing decentralized network of independent education 'nodes'
All of this has been accomplished without compromising values nor taking money with strings attached--mostly being grassroots funded with underpaid or volunteer staff
And we are just getting started. We are pioneering a proof-of-concept that another way is possible. Independent bitcoin education is the means, the end is a re-imagined future
Happy Birthday!!!

July 24 in Nashville there will be an unconference for independent Bitcoin educators
this is the third educators unconference and they are somewhat inspired and modeled after the #Nostrica conference last year
there's a very natural and powerful link between Nostr and these conferences (and the whole @npub17cy…4ml3 approach to education)
come and see for yourself

Back in El Salvador!
I'm not sure what I expected from #Nostrica but whatever it was...#Nostrica was more
Thank you everyone for making it such a wonderful experience that gives me hope for the future
