My First Bitcoin

Education that Empowers! Independent, Impartial & Open Source Bitcoin Education for the World.

[My First Bitcoin @MyFirstBitcoin_]

Why does My First Bitcoin exist? What do we actually do? And how does it all work together? 🌍

This 90-second video explains our entire mission, vision, and the system we're building to make it happen.

WHY: Education shapes how we think. Money shapes what we can build. Both should be independent from the state.

HOW: We build a self-reinforcing cycle. Students become Bitcoiners. Bitcoiners become educators. Educators build communities. Communities empower new students.

WHAT: Free, open-source curricula. Educator training and certification. A global education network. A companion app. A transparent leaderboard. And a Bitcoin Education Fund that directly supports grassroots communities.

Today, 99 independent communities across 44 countries are part of this movement.

Our vision? 10,000 independent Bitcoin education communities worldwide.

Not controlled from the top. Built from the ground up.

No Education. No Adoption.

Watch the video. Understand the mission. Join the movement.

Listen carefully ⚡️

So simple, yet so few understand

In case you missed the podcast on YouTube about our new global Bitcoin education app:

What if people wanted to learn Bitcoin and never knew a class was starting in their city? It happened.

Educators were stuck juggling scattered tools and logins.

Benoit from My First Bitcoin shows the new app built to fix it, shaped by educators in public.

@FEWunderstand_ Great to hear. Onboarding merchants is unbelievable valuable ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Bitcoin spreads one person at a time. Gabe shows how new educators learn to teach, step into real classrooms with a mentor and connect communities across continents.

@MukunguFelix what is your feeling about Bitcoin bringing sovereignty to local communities in Kenya?

@Silatoshi_id do you think Bitcoin would make people more independent and empowered in Indonesia? Or was the Dutch central banking system a better way?

And for all people who want to get an impression how circular economies in Africa can decouple from government money:

Bitcoin education must never become another tool of concentrated power.

It must remain independent, impartial, and open source.

That's why we share 50% of all grassroots donations directly with educators worldwide.

Don't just teach decentralization. Practice it. ⚡

[My First Bitcoin @MyFirstBitcoin_]

Keep Bitcoin Education independent, impartial and open source.⚡️

This will be one key factor for Bitcoin becoming global money.

We need more people like Alfonce 🇰🇪

We met Alfonce at our Bitcoin Education Unconference in Kenya, and his energy and dedication left a lasting impression.

Alfonce is the driving force behind Beyond Adversity Academy, bringing free Bitcoin education to children and young people in rural Kenya.

And he's already making a difference.

Through two education cohorts, his initiative has reached over 40 young people. Two additional Bitcoin bootcamps introduced 129 children to Bitcoin through games, storytelling, and interactive learning.

But Alfonce doesn't stop there.

He also runs the Beyond Adversity BTC Podcast, connecting educators, builders, and communities across Africa and beyond.

And while teaching others, he keeps learning himself. In May, he joined our Educator Training Program to further develop his skills.

@alfonce_ouma @b_adversity

This is what decentralized Bitcoin education looks like. Local leaders taking ownership, sharing knowledge, and creating opportunities where they're needed most.

Imagine what we could achieve with someone like Alfonce in every rural community around the world.

Support the movement. Fund what works.

In Nov. 2025, Indonesia 🇮🇩 was hit with flash floods.

In a recent @MyFirstBitcoin_ documentary, Fedi SE Asia Community master @dearezkitha, @bitcoinindo21 co-founder @Silatoshi_id, and Zed, a Indonesian Bitcoin community leader, explain how btc donations helped those affected.

[My First Bitcoin @MyFirstBitcoin_]

@leemurdock @MannaBitcoin This depends on the local context and personal situation. Some beginners start with wallets, some with history of money and central banking. This is why our new Bitcoin Diploma is modular and not linear. 🧡

Don't let Bitcoin education become captured by the very powers it seeks to challenge.

[My First Bitcoin @MyFirstBitcoin_]

The window of opportunity is closing. We have a choice to make.

Do we want governments and corporations funding Bitcoin education—and shaping its future?

We don't.

That's why we launched the Bitcoin Education Fund, sharing 50% of all grassroots donations with independent educators and communities across our Education Network, based on their proof of work.

Independent education needs independent funding.

Get involved. 🧡
