[My First Bitcoin @MyFirstBitcoin_]

This global movement goes beyond teaching Bitcoin. 🌎

It’s about empowering communities to restore agency over their own future, because the real revolution isn’t better money, but better humans. 🧡

In 2025, we made it happen. Read the Impact Report 👇

📣 𝐌𝐲 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 🌍

After four years of building, My First Bitcoin is proud to announce its next chapter: a transition from leading Bitcoin education locally to empowering communities worldwide with support and tools. A transition from being teachers in one country, to providing tools and resources to educators everywhere

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵
Founded in 2021, we began as a pioneering project in independent education in El Salvador. Since then, we have taught more than 27,000 students in person, the vast majority in El Salvador.

Now, after months of preparation, we are ready to go beyond borders, as founder John Dennehy explains:

“𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 6 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 8 𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘯.

𝘞𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵.”

𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀
While we go global, we will stay grounded in our bold mission: to work towards a free society in which individuals have agency in their lives, achieved through independent Bitcoin education. With Bitcoin being the ultimate tool for prosperity and freedom, we aim to empower humanity.

When people have more control over their own life, it allows them to look farther into the future, and that has profoundly positive second order effects for the individual. Bitcoin brings this control over your finances.

𝗔 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
With full transparency and gratitude to our community, we want to share a few key updates that mark this new phase:

➖ Rebranding: The organization will move forward globally as My First Bitcoin, retiring the local name Mi Primer Bitcoin.
➖ New Roles, New Leadership: The team has been restructured with new roles and directors to reflect this global mission. While some members shift their focus to the global scene, new members are added to double down on our mission: Open Source Bitcoin Education for the World.
➖ Empowering Others: Our new focus is teaching the teachers; creating the tools, systems, and guidance for everyone that wants to start their own Bitcoin education initiatives: circular economies, meetups and community builders. Empowering those who empower others.
➖ Node Network Expansion: We’re focusing even more on the Node Network, a self-governing network of independent educators and community builders worldwide that are already using our open source resources. As of today, this network consists of over 70 projects from 38 countries.
➖ Focus on Curricula: As we transition into a more facilitating role, we will double down on building and improving new and existing curricula, for all audiences.
➖ Social Layer: We focus more and more on creating spaces for educators to come together, connect and share best practices, such as Unconferences (for the public) and General Assemblies (for the Node Network). This is not only resembled in physical spaces to meet, but also the creation of new digital tools, platforms and spaces.
➖ Remote-First: As part of this shift, we’ll be closing our physical office in El Salvador and moving to a fully remote, globally distributed structure.
➖ Community Handover: Our weekly and monthly meetups in San Salvador will now be owned and run by a collective of local projects, My First Bitcoin steps back, and empowers others to take initiative. We’ve also created an open-source blueprint for meetups and Unconferences for anyone to replicate these events anywhere in the world.
➖ End of Public School Program: As of spring 2025, My First Bitcoin is no longer operating within El Salvador’s public schools. After running dozens of cohorts, and training hundreds of teachers, our collaboration with the Ministry of Education has ended.

𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱
We’re deeply grateful for the years spent in El Salvador and where we learned many lessons on how to grow a grassroots, independent, and impartial educational movement.

We invite the global Bitcoin community, educators, meetup organizers, builders, and circular economies, to join us in writing the next chapter. Reach out if you want to join the network, are in need of certain resources or would benefit from curricula, structures, frameworks or tools.

Together, we’ll make My First Bitcoin not just a program, but a movement.

Onwards.
