My First Bitcoin Shifts From Local Roots in El Salvador to Global Crypto Education Network
The pioneering Bitcoin education nonprofit, My First Bitcoin, is ending its flagship El Salvador program and is now setting its sights on a worldwide mission to make Bitcoin and cryptocurrency learning accessible to all.
After pioneering crypto education across classrooms in El Salvador—the world’s first country to officially adopt Bitcoin as legal tender (Bitcoin in El Salvador)—the organization will transform into a global education network. Instead of focusing solely on students, My First Bitcoin will now train educators from around the world, giving them the tools and skills to teach the next generation about digital currency.
This major expansion reflects how crypto education is gaining momentum beyond El Salvador, which made economic history in 2021 by becoming Bitcoin-native. The new global program aims to create a ripple effect: teachers learn, then spread Bitcoin knowledge in their own communities, multiplying impact far faster than the nonprofit could alone.
How the Global Pivot Works
The revamped program provides a free curriculum and teaching certification. Instead of running direct classes, My First Bitcoin now acts as an accelerator, empowering teachers to spark decentralized adoption worldwide. The initiative is actively seeking educators hungry for change—and has already launched pilot initiatives spanning Latin America to Africa.
Why Crypto Education Matters Now
For many young people, learning about Bitcoin and crypto means more than just understanding a new form of money. It means gaining insights into financial literacy, the power of decentralized finance (“DeFi”), and taking charge in a rapidly digitizing world economy.
According to CoinDesk, My First Bitcoin believes global expansion will inspire “a wave of educators to spark mass Bitcoin adoption.”
Politics, Youth, and the Power of Self-Determination
With global financial systems under constant debate—from IMF controversy in El Salvador to worldwide discussions on crypto regulation—knowledge is power. Politically, initiatives like My First Bitcoin put tools of economic freedom directly into people’s hands, whether they’re in San Salvador or São Paulo.
For young people feeling the pressure of outdated financial systems, and with politicians everywhere debating the future of money, learning about Bitcoin isn’t just techy—it’s a political act. It puts the ability to shape economic futures beyond borders and bureaucrats.
