We need more people like Nestor 🇺🇾

What does it take to build a Bitcoin circular economy from the ground up?

People who are willing to learn, take responsibility, and turn an idea into action.

Nestor is one of them.

In March, he joined our Spanish Bitcoin Diploma course and earned his certification in May.

But he didn't stop there.

He also completed our Educator Training Program, taking the next step from learning about Bitcoin to learning how to teach it.

Today, Nestor is part of the team behind @Puntabitcoin_uy, an initiative working to build a Bitcoin circular economy in Punta del Este, Uruguay.

Inspired by communities like Bitcoin Beach and Bitcoin Ekasi, Punta Bitcoin wants to make Bitcoin useful as everyday money while strengthening local economic independence.

The project is still in its early stages. And that's exactly why people like Nestor matter.

Because every thriving Bitcoin community starts with someone willing to take the first step.

This is how decentralized Bitcoin education grows. Students become educators. Educators become community leaders. And community leaders build the foundations for real-world adoption.

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

Bitcoin adoption starts with education. 50% of your donation directly funds the top 50 Bitcoin education communities, ranked by proof of work. The other 50% builds free educational tools and infrastructure worldwide.

He built the life every Indonesian dreams of in Germany and felt empty.

Then he lost his wife's money.

Dimas of Bitcoin Indonesia on how faith, the history of money and Bitcoin turned it all into a mission to teach.

From fighting fires to spreading financial education. 🇨🇦

Welcome to the My First Bitcoin Education Network, Patrick Maynard and Révolution Française!

After leaving his career as a firefighter, Patrick discovered a new passion: Bitcoin education.

Now he's bringing that passion to his community in Quebec, Canada.

His vision? A future where local businesses accept Bitcoin, employees can earn sats, families gift Bitcoin, and people understand how to protect and take control of their own money.

But every movement starts somewhere.

Révolution Française joined our global Education Network today, November 11. No classes taught yet. No big milestones to celebrate. Just one person with a mission to make a difference.

And that's exactly why our network exists.

To connect independent educators, give them free tools and resources, and help local initiatives grow.

Welcome aboard, Patrick! 💜

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.

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.

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.

Why should saving what you earn require a second job studying markets?

Mith from Jakarta asked that for years. Her answer was Bitcoin.

Then came a meetup started from scratch, and a bigger question: what could change where banks don't reach?
