Good morning from El Salvador

We are now in DAY NINETEEN since the government rescinded Bitcoin as legal tender, at the request of the IMF (effective 30 April)

This is bad news for top-down bitcoin adoption

But this makes grassroots, decentralized, community adoption even more important

I want to highlight the Independent Bitcoin Educators Node Network which was launched by Mi Primer Bitcoin El Salvador (npub17cy…4ml3) in March 2023 and is now self governing, involving more than 60 projects from over 30 nations around the world who are building an alternative future together

It is the most inspiring thing happening in the Bitcoin space today and the most likely emerging framework that could actually reimagine the future world

In order to apply you must agree to the six consensus rules; that the education be: independent, impartial, community-led, Bitcoin-only, quality, and focus on empowerment

The entire network uses the @MyfirstBitcoin_ Diploma and other open-source educational materials focused on bringing new people into the space in a way that teaches them 'how to think' rather than 'what to think'

Every month we get together for a virtual General Assembly where we all share updates on whats happening with each node around the world and find ways to collaborate with each other. It is a real life manifestation that we are more than the sum of our parts. It transforms projects that otherwise may be isolated silos into integral pieces of a global, decentralized movement

It is a revolution

And like Bitcoin itself, it doesn't care what politicians, governments or international financial institutions do

It is not just a theory, but a proof-of-concept that we can build global decentralized systems that empower its participants. It is what the future could look like--a radical reimagining of power

And it is growing. The most recent block, which comes once a month, added six new nodes around the world
