Just a peek at one of MANY things we are working on at
@My First BitcoinA Peer-to-Peer Directory for Bitcoin Education
My First Bitcoin — Internal Vision Document —
The Idea :
MFB has proven that bitcoin education works best when it is local, contextual, and human. Dozens of nodes worldwide now run their own courses—each with its own schedule, language, and pedagogy. The knowledge exists. The problem is discovery.
A decentralized, open directory will surface every course across the MFB network, enabling any prospective student to find the learning experience that fits them. This serves MFB's core mission: to build a global movement through the Node Network.
The Problem It Solves:
Our decentralized strength is also a discoverability weakness: A student in Nairobi cannot easily find a Swahili course running in Lagos next month; Donors lack a single view of network output and scale; Excellent educators remain invisible beyond their immediate community.
Without infrastructure like this, network growth will stagnate.
For nodes, this brings more students. For students, it is access to the world's most diverse, battle-tested bitcoin curriculum. For MFB, it is a distribution network that turns fragmented nodes into a living, self-reinforcing global system.
How It Works:
Each node self-lists courses in standardized format. The directory aggregates these into a searchable, filterable marketplace.
Students can filter by:
• Course type (Intro, Bitcoin Diploma, etc.)
• Language, location, price, schedule
• Node reputation and student ratings
• Educator credentials (certified teachers, ETP, etc.)
Why This Matters:
This is a proof of concept for how sovereign education scales without centralizing control.
Success Metrics
• Every active MFB node lists at least one course within six months of launch
• New nodes required to list as part of onboarding
• Directory becomes the default answer to "Where do I learn bitcoin?" (for students)
• Directory becomes the default answer to “Where do I find students?” (for teachers)
• Directory helps show, in a tangible way, how impactful and global MFB is.
