#Bitcoin is Freedom!

[John Dennehy @jdennehy_writes]

This year we will co-host Educators Unconfrences on 4 continents

In addition to the unconference we will also be exploring the local education projects in each area

All of this will end up in a documentary showing how bitcoin education is already changing the world

LFG!

The latest episode of Once Bitten has dropped. James Dewar - @Bitcoinshire - and two school teachers discuss how they delivered a Bitcoin Diploma course at a UK secondary school!

📣 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.

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.

Thrilled to see @emiliobitcoin give his first keynote 👏🏻
He’s been the driving force behind every meetup, graduation, Unconference, and side event success, always with one goal: to make sure the community connects and enjoys together, always learning from the last event.
We met at the MFB booth at @AdoptingBTC three years ago, and he was volunteering, and a l was trying to 'get in'.
He’s still the same person, kind, humble, and hardworking.

🇸🇻 Bitcoin Educators Unconference returns to El Salvador

My First Bitcoin announces its 7th Bitcoin Educators Unconference! Following the successful events in San Salvador, Madeira, and Nashville, we are heading back to the mountains of El Salvador for the third time: Cadejo Montaña.

🎟 https://t.co/DobFgRGUGd

The Unconference embodies the vision and mission of My First Bitcoin to educate and empower the world with Bitcoin knowledge, but also to provide a social layer for educators to connect.

My First Bitcoin aims to bring passionate Bitcoin enthusiasts together, fostering collaboration and networking. The event is rooted in the principles of an impartial, independent, decentralized, and community-led organization.

The focus: grassroots projects and Bitcoin education.

Unconference: "Everyone is a (potential) speaker"

Attendance is limited to 150 attendees, and contrary to regular conferences, an Unconference is a place where every attendee is a (potential) speaker. Everyone has the chance to pitch their ideas at the start of the event, which will subsequently be grouped in separate breakout rooms.

Previous Unconferences have been attended by a wide variety of educators, such as Ben Perrin (@BTCsessions), @kinetic_finance, @JeffBooth and @PrestonPysh, but this event also welcomed many grassroots educational projects in the past, such as @BitcoinEkasi, @AmityAge, and @bitcoinindo21. It attracts builders and educators from all around the world.

If you’re interested in becoming a speaker, you can apply by submitting your ideas here: https://t.co/hUxTRUzEKA

We will open the stage for everyone to pitch their own idea at the start of the day.

The sessions and activities are designed to reflect the Bitcoin ethos: decentralized and collaborative events. This means that we will be creating this event all together, with input from all attendees. Past editions brought fruitful discussions about global education networks, grassroots adoption, Bitcoin communities, gamification of educational resources, tools for the youth, and more.

Secure your ticket today!
The Unconference remains a high signal by being an intimate, limited space event. Get your tickets now at https://t.co/DobFgRGUGd.

Location
This 7th Unconference will be held at Cadejo Montaña on November 13, during Bitcoin Week in El Salvador, the day prior to @AdoptingBTC. Complimentary drinks, snacks and lunch will be served on location, and are included in the ticket price.

Please note that My First Bitcoin is a non-profit and aims to run breakeven with this event.

Practical information:
📍 Location: Cadejo La Montaña, San Salvador
🗺 Address: MQ4C+2G Nuevo Cuscatlán, El Salvador
🗓 Date: November 13, 2025
🕐 Starting time: doors open at 10 am, event starts at 11 am. Closing time: 6 p.m.
