Can someone recommend a guide for starting out a bitcoin community from scratch? I feel one is really needed in northern Mexico.

We are working to build one a community inHaiti. Materials in Spanish are widely available, but we're working to translate into Haitian Creole on the basics like what is money, what is Bitcoin, My First Bitcoin workbook, how to use Blink, Bitrefill, The Bitcoin Company etc...

We have a committed leader who is putting together workshops and regular meetups.

Another target is business onboarding and getting them on BTCmap.

Finally, we are also working with Fedi to build a community federated mint once they go live later this year.

We would love to hear more about what you're doing in your community and how you're doing it.

I'm a complete noob but with everyone's replies I'm starting to formulate a plan. For now, I'm teaching my children about bitcoin and getting to know my new neighborhood, create human relationships with as much people possible. In a few months I plan on helping my children sell lemonade in the local park but putting up a sign that says they prefer payment in BTC + there would be a bitcoin education module right next to it.

I'll see where it goes from there. I'll be talking about bitcoin in the neighborhood chat when I can as well, but only once they get to know me. I'd love any feedback or suggestions.

Lemonade stand with education material is a great idea!

Teaching others is a slow process, but when I find someone who wants to learn about it, I start very simple by asking them what do they think money is, then I anchor the idea that money evolved from gold to government currency to digital money, then I explain the programmable supply of Bitcoin vs infinite supply of Dollars, Pesos etc.

It takes many hours to learn Bitcoin, but I find this basic concept is the fastest way without losing your listener and getting them confused.

If they ask you the difference between Bitcoin and other crypto, you're making progress! Get them on Strike or Blink and send them sats! *Tax obligations may apply in Mexico :)
