I’ve been working on the next version of the #BitcoinDiploma🎓📜 which is being translated into 5 languages & is being taught in over 10 countries🗺️

Here’s how we got here, and where we’re going next.

Growing up in #Colombia🇨🇴, I witnessed stark contrasts between privilege and poverty.

My family's emphasis on #education🏫 and traveling made me deeply aware of the inequality surrounding us.

During university, a humble woman's generosity exposed me to the true face of poverty🙏

In her makeshift home atop a dirt mound, she served me her only piece of chicken in a powerful act of selflessness.

It marked me deeply.

Atop that mound, I realized the need for financial inclusion, especially for the unbanked population like her 🏦🚫

Every day, she climbed that mound for the money she needed to survive. I wished for an easier way.

Discovering #Bitcoin sparked an idea. Could this be the solution?

Yet, understanding this revolutionary technology felt like climbing an even steeper hill.

As a math enthusiast and educator, I grappled with Bitcoin's intricacies.

My struggle to comprehend #Bitcoin fueled my desire to make the journey easier for others.

My grandparents’ story further strengthened my resolve.

They fled Europe with hope, arriving penniless in #Colombia🇨🇴, leaving behind their hard-earned assets.

If #Bitcoin existed then, they wouldn't have had to abandon everything😔

Their ability to start anew ignited my belief inBitcoin's potential as a borderless🗺️ store of value.

Fueled by these experiences, I seized the opportunity to create the curriculum for

@myfirstbitcoin_

Learning about #Bitcoin should be enjoyable, interactive, and accessible to everyone🎮

We designed the curriculum to be flexible and #OpenSource, constantly evolving with valuable feedback from the community.

Collective intelligence and creativity were our guiding principles 💡✅

hrough #Bitcoin, my hope is to bridge the gap between the financially privileged and the underprivileged.

I envision a world where everyone, regardless of their background, has access to financial services and opportunities 🚀📈

This journey is a tribute to resilience, a commitment to equality, and an open invitation for everyone to join us.

Let's work together to make poverty and inequality a thing of the past🌟

With #Bitcoin as our tool, we can create a future where we get individuals and communities around the world to #startsmall on their journey to empowerment and liberty💪🕊️

Hey, I’m nostr:npub18rjdwux48asrcz25k32tqfxeuunwcm64v0eqvm8vw9aljyytfyss68fxch

I am the community builder of

nostr:npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3 in #ElSalvador & I also run

BitDriver, the first taxi business in the country that operates solely on the #BitcoinStandard.

I’m on a mission to change the world.

Here’s my story:

I used to work in the boring world of banks, “helping” people with loans and credit

cards🥴

But one day, I took a trip to El Zonte & I discovered #Bitcoin from a lady who sold us a

bag of ice.

We bought it out of curiosity, not knowing how this episode would change my life

During the pandemic, I saw a newspaper story about Bitcoin being called “digital

gold”.

I wanted to learn more, but it was hard to find information in Spanish.

I searched on Facebook but I couldn't find any helpful groups but scams.

In 2021, our president Nayib Bukele announced #Bitcoin as legal tender in #ElSalvador.

I was SHOCKED about it & started explaining to my family and friends what this meant.

Little did I know, my life was about to change. One day I lost my job and started driving for Uber.

But one of those trips changed everything. Four foreigners got in, and we heard news

about protests against #Bitcoin adoption.

One of the passengers was

John Dennehy, founder of

nostr:npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3 , and he

asked me if I could give him an interview.

That’s how I became the first student of

nostr:npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3 and received classes

directly from John

I quickly understood everything about #Bitcoin . This was just the beginning.

Then, I had an idea: I wanted to offer my taxi service and accept #Bitcoin.

It felt like magic once I began doing it!

my first announcement for AdoptingBTC2021

That’s how I became the first driver in #ElSalvador to accept #Bitcoin & named my company ‘Bitdriver’

From working in the traditional financial system to being able to provide transportation

services for the huge amount of people visiting #ElSalvador

Working on education at

nostr:npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3 has changed my life.

And just as I change, I want the lives of my people, of my country to change, and that

can only be achieved with education and patience.

We knew we had to #startsmall before we expanded, but now we’re ready to go to

the next level.

We’ve received donations and support from

Jack , Greg Foss, Bitcoin Beach, Blink Wallet , Bitfinex , Looking Glass and PayStand

And we are just getting started.

Onward!
