Living in Central America to witness Bitcoin adoption first hand

That’s both unbelievable and also totally believable

Hahaha amazing. Zero fucks ice cream face. Will you be at the Plan B forum there in October?

A bitcoiner AND a cross fitter? All you need now is to be vegan and you’ll have the holy trinity of people at parties that no one wants to talk to 😂

Nice! Altra do some nice barefoot sports shoes if you’re ever looking to add to the stack

Nice. Hope it all goes well there mate

My First Bitcoin needs your help

We are in danger of running out of funding before some longer-term funding kicks in at the end of the year. If nothing changes, we will run out of money in September.

How did we get here? Well, in order to remain independent, we leave A LOT of money on the table

But for this post I want to give greater transparency into our expenses

With time we will make financial transparency part of our official SOP and publish everything on our website, but in the meantime, some context

Expenses are varied—we rent a house which we converted into school, we develop various open-source curriculum, we give sats to students as part of classes, we host 50+ meetups per year, we are building a Learning Management System (LMS) that anyone will be able to use, and lots of other expenses but I want to focus on payroll, which is our largest single expense

We have 20+ paid staff in addition to project-based contract work we hire for on an as-needed basis. Teachers are the largest and most obvious group, but this number includes some less visible roles as well. We pay developers & designers to build out infrastructure to help independent educators across the world. We pay lawyers, accountants and auditors to help us be compliant in multiple jurisdictions. We pay creators of open-source curriculum, lesson plans and activities.

This staff is the backbone of an emerging global movement. The commonality among them all—they are all underpaid. Not only did every current staff begin as a volunteer, many of them have quit much higher paying jobs to work here—often earning less than half of what they made in their previous job. Our payroll is about $24,000 per month

We need your help to maintain and make it to the end of the year, when some new longer-term and more sustainable funding will kick in.

Had a wonderful couple of days at nostr:nprofile1qqsrvpmyysvepyqwn0u6eta7zqn58nqexgwy2j9awjr8r3lqh4fg5fgprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0q4guyn's farm. 😍

We got to see piglets being born (19!), picked a double yolker egg and got to finally hang out with nostr:nprofile1qqsvf82j54enveujhxnwfpg4slpgqshmyna9vfwx6eace9wgw5dv59gpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7sqket5 who was re-upping his raw milk supplies.

Eyvy has such a great setup here; we've never seen animals so healthy and happy. 🐮

Love a double yolker

If you ever find yourself in Antigua Guatemala then get your coffee fix from 12 Onzas. Great, locally sourced #coffee and of course, payments in #bitcoin accepted
