Four years can be a mere heartbeat in the grand tapestry of time, yet it weaves stories of transformation and growth.
*“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”*
That step was taken four years ago by a small but courageous nation, leading them to a place that’s truly worth cheering for!
### The Two Scarcest Assets on Earth: Time and Bitcoin.
Tick-tock... Nearly every ten minutes, tick tock. The clock that never stops. Time flies by. Day by day, week by week, month after month.
While we’re busy building for the long haul, we can’t ignore the passage of time. Yet we can measure the impact of our efforts on something truly meaningful.
After adopting Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, El Salvador has made remarkable progress. Sure, there is still a lot of work to be done... In order to keep this piece short, I won't cover the entire country. Instead, let me shine a light on a small part that’s laying a strong foundation for their and our future growth.
### Adopting Bitcoin: November 15-16 in the picturesque city of San Salvador.
[The official event page](https://sv24.adoptingbitcoin.org/) describes it as *“the high-signal Bitcoin conference for builders.”* Although I haven’t had the chance to see it live at the last three conferences, I’ve heard plenty of good things from people who attended it at least once. That makes me even more excited about the fact that this November, not only will I get to experience it in person, but I’ll also get to support it with my time and energy through one of the projects I’m working on.
### Jolt it down: Bitcoin Para Niños x Bitcoin Junior Club!
The idea of the [Bitcoin Junior Club](Bitcoin Junior Club (npub1p0s…a7gv)) had been in my head for a long time, but its online journey kicked off at the beginning of this year. I’m very happy to play an active role in Adopting Bitcoin, especially with a focus on the youngest generation. As briefly mentioned in this text ['Bitcoin 4 Youth: The Rise of a Sovereign Generation'](https://www.bitcoin4youth.com/the-rise-of-a-sovereign-generation-bitcoin-and-youngsters/) already in the past I was truly happy to see some events that this year finally added more focus on kids—actually, I was also lucky enough to experience three of them firsthand.
* Bitcoin Junior Club is an open hub that gathers resources for kids and families while also creating its own materials (currently mainly [free printables](https://www.bitcoin4youth.com/tag/free-bitcoin-printables/)).
* Due to my limited time and resources, the focus has been on building a solid foundation on the website, as that’s where I see the most value for users. Social media presence has taken a backseat. However, since I believe in Nostr, I felt it was important to highlight this unique collaboration here first, moving the official website for later on.
* BTC Junior Club goes beyond traditional Bitcoin education! It’s focused on fostering creativity and critical thinking. I truly believe that combining these two with sound money principles empowers young minds to embrace true sovereignty from an early age. Bitcoin fixes many things, but if you don’t think for yourself, you won’t be able to tap into its full potential.

### So fresh, still little known… How did the collaboration with an established event come about?
Taking a bit of a chance, I commented on one of Adopting Bitcoin’s posts about the possibility of getting a ticket to the conference and suggested helping out in the space dedicated to the youngest participants. I’m still incredibly touched that my comment was met with approval the organizing Team. Eventually, I got the chance to build with them an amazing space called Bitcoin Para Niños.
*“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams—let’s dream big and keep building with Bitcoin!”*
Even given the short deadline and ambitious plans—along with the financial constraints both projects face since they’re non-profit—I’m still confident that together we’ll craft an unforgettable experience. The is energy flowing! Much of the program is already in place: focused on both the quality and uniqueness.
Soon, we’ll share more specific details beyond what I’ve mentioned below. Now, I want to highlight the incredible support I’m once again witnessing—or rather, feeling—from the Bitcoin community. 🧡 Reyna Chicas and [Mi Primer Bitcoin](Mi Primer Bitcoin El Salvador (npub17cy…4ml3)), Tali Lindberg and [Orange Hatter](orangehatter (npub1q3r…6amn)), Lina Seiche and [The Little HODLer](https://thelittlehodler.com/), Ian Foster and [EconoKidz](https://econokidz.com/),[ SHAMory](SHAmory (npub1vmg…gyu4)) with Scott and Mallory Sibley: these are just a few of the projects that have committed to supporting our family-friendly mission directly with their presence or/and materials and goodies.
### Sneak peek: Here’s What to Expect.
The entire Bitcoin Para Niños space will be open to all participants throughout both days of the conference (15-16 November). Kids under 18 get in free to Adopting Bitcoin—so why not bring the younger members of your family along?
We’re putting together a leisure area filled with Bitcoin-themed stuff—from books and toys to creative materials—along with the entire active zone for kids, teens, and adults alike. Mini workshops and casual talks are on the agenda as well, think of them as panels in a relaxed format that still offer valuable insights. Plus, expect unique games and surprises that blend education with fun!
More information will be released in the coming days. For now, I hope this sneak peek energizes you and motivates you to participate in this year’s event. I’m ready for some serious work and sharing lots of good vibes—looking forward to [meeting some of you in San Salvador](https://sv24.adoptingbitcoin.org/) 😊
### Last but not least…
If you’d like to support our efforts, value4value means time, talent, and treasure. Share this info with others, let us know what you think, what you’re most excited about, or maybe even offer a helpful hand.
If you want to throw a few sats into the mix for this whole adventure, visit [Geyser Fund](https://geyser.fund/project/btcjuniorclub).
This week, I’ll also add a separate donation page dedicated to El Salvador, but for now, you can support the entire project: Bitcoin Junior Club. Details on how all funds will be spent are also listed there.
FYI—I’m not taking anything from this work, and so far, I’ll have to finance the trip out of my own pocket, which I don’t have much of. I love kids, I love Bitcoin, and I know that working on both of these loves is the key to a better world. To helps us all build a better future. The future with sovereign generations.
Let’s follow the steps that profoundly started four years ago in El Salvador, a small but courageous nation.
