O yes I love Stoffel!!!

When ever we see one in the Kgalagadi we call him Stoffel.

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

Badgers (#bitcoin) likes snakes(FTX or Celcius)

#FutureWars

We're very nontraditional--no rings!

Doesn't matter though, we were both earning 100% income in Bitcoin by the end of 2013.

Today I'm celebrating 11 years with my wife! Being married to a freedom loving bitcoiner is the best.

We worked together at Blockchain(dot)info as the first two employees for 5 years. Anyone who has ever worked for a startup knows how crazy it can be, especially the early days. It's not a 9-5, it's a 24/7.

We've watched Bitcoin go from < $10 ancap money to what it is today. We couldn't have made it through all those ups and downs without being aligned philosophically.

It's not all about Bitcoin, of course, but the freedom movement is how we met. It started with that foundation and grew into a deep bond.

Here's to the next 11 years, and many more after! 🥂

I arrived in shitcoin city

Good morning nostrworld! Enjoying my morning coffee on the patio, and watching and listening to the wildlife. I hear lots of birds, there is a deer nearby, also a couple of wild rabbits. Yesterday we put a small water trough near the woods close to the house, so that the wildlife can drink if they need it. Its been extremely hot and dry lately. Well enough dawdling, I need to get to my chores. Yall have a great day, and be thankful for the good things in your life.🙂☕. #grownostr #coffeechain

good morning #plebchain

Not long before we set sail.

I started my small recycling route in 2021 with stimmy check money and an "I-can-do-it" attitude.

I have very poor marketing skills, which holds me back because sole proprietorship + trucking is a pain.... but the biz runs via word of mouth and the clientele are not mobile savvy....but there is a potential 10x coming via new regulation.

I'm practically knocking on sucess' door with no startup funding....

Other apps are being developed to get people to recycle their products....but without men on the street to market and render the services you have nothing..... NOTHING but a fake UBER app

Almost ready to show P/L to the real money when it's time.

$2M to expand for trucks and warehouse space and for anyone smart enough wants to invest in a viable business model.... Their investment will 10X.
