Your first Bitcoin conversation probably happened by chance. For many people, that chance never comes. Local educators change that.

50% of your donation builds free tools for educators in 40+ countries. 50% goes straight to the top 50 education communities, ranked by proof of work.

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?

Help us tell more stories like these.

Bitcoin adoption starts with education. 50% of your donation directly funds the top 50 Bitcoin education communities worldwide, ranked by proof of work. The other 50% helps My First Bitcoin build free, open-source educational tools and infrastructure for educators in 40+ countries.

No Education. No Adoption. Fund the Movement. 🧡

Every person is born with boundless potential.

Good education sparks curiosity and independent thinking. Good money protects the value people create and lets them plan their future. When both work, people are free to build. When either one fails, potential gets wasted.

That's why this movement brings impartial Bitcoin education to communities in 40+ countries. 50% of your donation goes to My First Bitcoin to build free, open-source tools and infrastructure for educators. The other 50% goes directly to the 50 leading Bitcoin education communities, selected by their proof of work on our public leaderboard.

Pablo rebuilt the Bitcoin Diploma by listening to educators in the field, so they can teach it their way, in their own communities. The change is already being built by them.

Help us build more free Bitcoin education tools and infrastructure.

Our children will inherit the world this generation builds.

One day they'll learn about this period in history. They'll know we were here. And they might ask: "What did you do?"

Did you watch from the sidelines? Or did you help build the future you said you believed in?

Building it means more people who understand Bitcoin for themselves. That's what your donation pays for. 50% goes directly to the 50 leading Bitcoin education communities, selected by their proof of work on our public leaderboard. The other 50% goes to My First Bitcoin to build free, open-source tools and infrastructure for educators in 40+ countries.

Don't just tell your kids you were early. Tell them you helped build it.
