Bitcoin Education Heads to Nashville

Mi Primer Bitcoin announced the time and location of its third Bitcoin Education Unconference. After events in San Salvador and Madeira, the new edition will be held at The Cordelle in Nashville on July 24.

The Unconference was organized in collaboration with BTC veterans to “educate and empower the world.” As a BTC-only event, it also aims to bring enthusiasts of the flagship cryptocurrency together to “foster collaborations and networking.”

Moreover, attendees can participate in the sessions by pitching their ideas and setting up a slot in the schedule. The event is designed to be a “decentralized and collaborative” effort between all participants, with activities being curated based on feedback from attendees.

Past installments of the Unconference have featured industry thought leaders such as Jeff Booth, Preston Pysh, and Ben Perrin, as well as educators and enthusiasts from around the globe.

Bringing Crypto Education to the World

Mi Primer Bitcoin, or “My First Bitcoin,” is a nonprofit organization in El Salvador that focuses on BTC education and has collaborated with the Salvadoran Ministry of Education to promote adoption and financial empowerment in the country.

As reported by Bitcoinist, the nonprofit began an initiative to integrate crypto education into the public education system in El Salvador by 2024. The program is being led by the Salvadoran Ministry of Education and supported by Bitcoin Beach, a project that aims to create a sustainable BTC economic ecosystem on the coast of El Salvador.

The organization’s pilot program will train 700 public school teachers, who will then teach the BTC diploma curriculum to students in their local schools. The first wave of public school teachers, 97 in total, graduated from the program in April. Later that month, three new groups began their ten-week crypto education.

The BTC Diploma was launched in early 2022 and has become a popular program around the world. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, from fiat money, its history, and its challenges, to the different aspects of the flagship cryptocurrency.

The 2023 workbook edition of the program was translated into 23 languages and is being taught independently from Uruguay to South Korea.

On several occasions, Mi Primer Bitcoin founder John Dennehy has reiterated the organization’s goal of spreading BTC education throughout the world.

Being the first nation to adopt BTC, El Salvador will set an example for the world; we decide what kind of example that will be. Our vision is to teach a nation and change the world. I know that sounds crazy, but I think we are well on our way and the Bitcoin Diploma is a big part of that.
