"it grew rapidly, teaching more than 27,000 students, creating the world's first Bitcoin Diploma in public schools, hosting educators' unconferences, and building a Node Network now spanning 50 projects in 27 countries. Now, My First Bitcoin is shifting from local classrooms to a global movement. Founder John Dennehy says the focus is on empowering educators, not running programs directly. "We want to help others succeed in their own communities and link them together," Dennehy said in a note to Bitcoin Magazine."
"The project is also embracing a fully remote structure, closing its office in El Salvador. Local meetups will now be run by independent collectives, using open-source blueprints developed by My First Bitcoin. The organization will continue developing curricula, creating digital platforms, and fostering connections among educators worldwide. "Our mission remains the same," Dennehy adds. "Independent, impartial Bitcoin education gives people agency, encourages critical thought, and builds long-term freedom. Bitcoin is the tool, education is the pathway.""
My First Bitcoin began in 2021 as a small classroom initiative and expanded to teach over 27,000 students, create a public-school Bitcoin Diploma, host educator unconferences, and build a Node Network across 27 countries. The organization is transitioning to a global, educator-focused model, moving to fully remote operations and closing its El Salvador office. Local meetups will operate through independent collectives using open-source blueprints while the organization continues to develop curricula, digital platforms, and educator connections. The initiative emphasizes independent, impartial Bitcoin education to build agency, critical thinking, and long-term freedom, and invites collaborators worldwide.
