Need some bitcoin exorcism? Visit your local meetup. You will be healed and only have to pay for the drinks.

Nostr is freedom of reading,

freedom of speech included of course.

Few.

Hi, my name is Gerardo Moran.

I’m a 18 year old salvadorian who just came out from high school, where I had the chance to graduate from

@MyfirstBitcoin_

#BitcoinDiploma.

Now I’m a teacher myself👨‍🏫

Here’s my story🧵🔻

I was born in Concepción de Ataco⛰️, western #ElSalvador

And I’ve been working since I was 11 years old, in areas like construction & tourism.

So Proof-Of-Work has been present all my life⚙️🏋️‍♂️🛠️

Ever since, I’ve tried to reason why people in my country worked so much for so little money😔

Earning 6 dollars a day doing construction wasn’t feasible for me anymore❌, so I quit without knowing there was an opportunity ahead: #Bitcoin

In 2021 I heard a ‘magic internet money’ would be declared legal tender in #ElSalvador

Even though I didn’t knew anything about it, I got excited just to know a different type of money rather than the US Dollar would be circulating in my country.

Of course, I started to see a lot of resistance against Bitcoin among my neighbors.

People talked about volatility, scams & politics, but something said to me @nayibbukele decision about #Bitcoin was the right one for #ElSalvador

So I did like @ODELL says: “stay humble & stack sats” 🙏

I said to myself “people are not afraid of #Bitcoin, they’re just scared of the unknown”

That’s where I realized #education was everything El Salvador needed.

One day, my school called the students to get into the #BitcoinDiploma

I applied & excelled, thanks to our incredible teacher Napoleon Osorio,

@elisuademo, who also gave me & @VianaMPB the opportunity to become teachers.

We were selected among 60 students! We said YES!

We now proudly educate people in the western region of #ElSalvador

This job has brought me opportunities I never thought possible.

It allows me to work, continue my studies & meet people while passing this knowledge to students not too younger than me

That way, I’ve been able to socialize and visit places I never imagined.

I've also had the chance to meet the amazing stories of My First Bitcoin team.

Listening to their experiences & how they talk about #Bitcoin has expanded my knowledge about this topic.

I’m also training & teaching the #BitcoinDiploma to a group of 8 senior professors at Antonio J. Alfaro school in Concepcion de Ataco, where I went to high school.

I did #startsmall, but now I’m leading #Bitcoin education in my hometown!

Being an inexperienced young person and having this opportunity is such a privilege

I want to show people what #Bitcoin is (and what it’s not).

For me it represents freedom as individuals and as a country 🇸🇻.

#Bitcoin changed my life

😅I will keep at least one of the shiny rock artefacts.

I maxed out everything already. Could sell the last silver ounces which I keep for certain scenarios. Not necessary I guess.🤔

At some point you'll have to move them. You better use a HW wallet for typing in the seed instead of risking funds on an online machine/software wallet.

Yup. Actually it keeps me going to work.

There is no other option if you don't want to take part in the flipping of real estate or senseless consumerism.

(Don't tear your hair out please😔🍀)

In a chaotic world with its daily struggles, stacking sats gives peace of mind.

Maybe sounds selfish, but I can't help.

Today I worked so hard in the FIAT mine that everything hurts.

I'm not even able to log into the exchange to buy bitcoin.😴

Give it an hour, don't move the price plz..

Bitcoin Hashrate new ATH again.

Hashrate precedes price they say.

But still, 1BTC=1BTC.

🇮🇱 Israel may axe crypto capital gains tax for foreigners

Foreign residents of Israel could get an exemption from capital gains taxes on the sale of digital currencies, according to a new bill that passed preliminary reading in the country's parliament, the Knesset.

The author of the bill, which grants an exemption and other tax benefits for digital asset holders, said it has the full support of the ruling coalition parties and is likely to be adopted.

The bill would also level up crypto bonuses with stock options for employees by reducing the current 50% tax on the former to 25%.

In addition, it proposes to use the term "digital currency" separately from "security."

The bill is expected to enhance Israel's appeal to investors around the globe.

Earlier in April, the Bank of Israel teased its central bank digital currency (CBDC) project. Although "a formal decision has yet to be made," the central bank is ready for potentially developing and deploying a digital shekel.
