My First Bitcoin is restructuring around its Education Network: a smaller team, lower costs, and a single focus—empowering those who empower others.
This is how we scale the mission: we will make it easier for bitcoin educators to get started, and likelier for them to succeed, by building the materials, infrastructure and community a global movement needs. This is the final step in a years-long transition from direct educator to global infrastructure.
My First Bitcoin becomes what the movement needs its center to be: lean, focused, and in service of 213 independent educators and 80+ education projects across 48 countries, each teaching or preparing to teach their own community, in their own language, on their own terms.
The whole My First Bitcoin team is now fully dedicated to growing this Education Network.

For Bitcoin to grow beyond charts and market cycles, people need to understand why it matters.That happens through education.
One educator can reach a classroom. One classroom can influence families. Those families can change a community. And when communities have the knowledge and tools to educate themselves, Bitcoin becomes something bigger than an asset people buy.
That’s why we empower independent educators around the world and why our work is funded by the community we serve: the Bitcoin community.
Help us create more Bitcoiners, not just more headlines.
Support the movement.

If you’re done with gifting sats to people who later uninstall a wallet or who lose interest in bitcoin, use @Lightsats21.
Lightsats is educational and you won’t lose sats that you gift to people who wind up not interested.
In 1981 while appearing on the nationally syndicated news program Meet The Press, Thomas Sowell was asked the following question:
Do you favor a return to the gold standard?

With what’s happening right now, Bitcoin education is more important than ever.
That was the theme of last week’s episode of the Fedi Community Chat with @ReynaChicas2 of @MyFirstBitcoin_.
ICYMI, the episode is now live on YouTube.
Link in the thread.
Hello @CashApp. Withdrawing Bitcoin earned from having round ups activated on a teen account is not possible. Locking users' bitcoin on CashApp is antithetical to what CashApp is about regarding its position on bitcoin isn't it? Hey @milessuter could you help us figure this out?

A better world isn't just coming, its already here if you know where to look
The unconfrence with @bitcoinindo21 on Aug 22 will be one such place
But if you can't make it ro Indonesia next week, catch the documentary...
Onward!
Without Bitcoin events and meet-ups I don’t think I would be as inspired as I am to build on bitcoin.
While the general vibe is as low as it is I’ve never been more bullish.
Tonight I fly to Indonesia to film episode 2 of the @MyFirstBitcoin_ Bigger Than Bitcoin series. 🎥

Being able to enable a trustee through fingerprint access is priceless.
Imagine how important this could be in case of tragic events for yours children .
Thanks @Bitkey

There is exactly one piece of information that can empty your Bitcoin wallet: your backup phrase.
Nobody needs it typed into a website. Not Blink. Not "Blink support." Not any wallet asking you to "verify," "restore," or "sync."
New blog post on backup phrase phishing and the one rule that keeps you safe:

We're inspired by the work that the team at Bitcoin Amantikir (@bitcoinamantiki) does with their community members in Brazil 🇧🇷.
They teach Bitcoin as a tool of empowerment, something that dovetails well with the organisation's broader philosophy, which is centred around self-sovereignty and lowering one's time preference.

What we love most about communities is how they take action to solve their problems.
And as @Modibe_ said in the Fedi Community Chat episode with Bright of @bitspenda, builders in these communities don’t wait for institutions to come and solve their problems. They build tools to tackle them.
Click the link in the thread to learn how Bright solved the problem he identified in his community and went on to build Bitspenda.

A few months ago, most of our work was about teaching students directly. Now it’s shifting.
