A true honour to become part of My First Bitcoin educational network. In this era of mass disinformation and scams, the role of Bitcoin educators is becoming increasingly important. Bitcoin Education is about providing accurate and impartial information so people can navigate this incredible space safely and make their own informed decisions. @MyFirstBitcoin_ is empowering educators from all over the world, connecting them and providing the tools we need to keep helping others. We couldn’t be more excited to start building together.

Strong disagree. Do you think we would have this level of adoption if Laszlo hadn’t bought those pizzas with Bitcoin? If everyone had just hodled and never used it? Of course paying in fiat/stablecoins is (currently) more convenient and smoother. It’s weaker money, and the rails of the fiat system have been built over hundreds of years. When you pay in Bitcoin, you send a HUGE message to the merchant, their staff, and their customers: “This is the money I choose, and I value your service enough to pay you with the best money ever created.” Just ask yourself: would you rather be paid in Bitcoin or fiat? We’re from Argentina as well, and we spend, tip, and zap in sats every chance we get. Hyperbitcoinization is inevitable, but it’s up to us whether it takes 20 years or 100. Normalizing Bitcoin and making it real and tangible for everyday people is how we accelerate adoption. Especially considering how easy it is to Spend & Replace thanks to Lightning. In our local circular economy, @TheBitcoinBasin , 50+ merchants currently accept Bitcoin and the main reason is simple: we actively support the merchants who are open minded enough to accept it. When you offer to pay in Bitcoin, you create an incentive for merchants to consider it and eventually accept it. Paying in Bitcoin is one of the easiest and most effective ways to get people started on their Bitcoin Journey. It’s almost a public service for the network…just like in the early days, when people gave away literally hundreds of bitcoin so others could become familiar with the technology. It’s your money. You can do whatever you want with it. But if you want to see hyperbitcoinization in your lifetime, consider using it.

Many posts proclaim “Self Custody is dead” Are you kidding me? We are talking about the separation of money and state here, did you think it would be easy? One company that we all “trusted,” and yet nobody verified, caused massive damage because of a bug latent since 2021… Only time will tell if it was negligence or premeditated. A humbling lesson for all of us. Anything built on Bitcoin needs to be as robust as Bitcoin, otherwise it will, and should, be wiped out. Painful? Undoubtedly Necessary? Absolutely We are building the foundations of the financial system for the next 200 years and beyond, they better be rock solid. Time to go back to the basics and truly verify.
