MANILA, Philippines—My father is a retired math professor. My mother is a retired banker. So if I were to teach, I’m destined to teach about the combination of math and money.
Enter bitcoin.
But what to teach? Everyone is a student in bitcoin. Thankfully, the bitcoin community is a passionate (i.e. rabid) worldwide community blessed with passionate philosophers and teachers. But how to teach?
Enter Mi Primera Bitcoin, which translates to My First Bitcoin.
I was born in a street called San Salvador.
El Salvador is some 15,000 kms. away across the vastness of the Pacific Ocean.
But bitcoiners are connected, because ideas are connected.
This is how I connected the world of cooperatives to bitcoin when I stumbled upon the latter:
And this is one of the things we’re doing in the cooperatives + bitcoin space: CoopPay.
It is the world’s first Lightning wallet for cooperatives—no mean feat.
There are passionate reasons why we do what we do in a certain way.
Who knows where the road of passion takes us.
Curious yourself but don’t know where to start? #studybitcoin
