As I leave Colombia I'm reflecting back
What a wild & inspiring few days...
On Monday I sent out the 'Welcome Docs' to the brand new Mi Primer Bitcoin El Salvador (npub17cy…4ml3) Advisory Board and asked which dates everyone would be free in the next weeks for a call
Turns out all three--Jeff Booth (npub1s05…eyhe), Mike Peterson & jeremy (npub1mce…c0py)--would be attending the Medellín Bitcoin Cinference. I made some last minute arraignments and joined them so we could all meet in person
The meeting was insightful & inspiring. We have an opportunity to reimagine what's possible. We have a chance to avoid repeating all the same mistakes that brought the fiat world to it's current state
And it starts with introductory bitcoin education
It must have transparent funding sources that will align the incentives so that students learn how to think and NOT what to think. It must be decentralized
This is already what we have been building toward for 3+ years, but we are now entering a time when it will become ever more crucial. Bitcoin education must be independent. It must be impartial. It must be community-led
I left that meeting inspired, but two days later, I leave Colombia even more inspired
I met various Colombians who have these values and are already teaching the #BitcoinDiploma to their own communities, and met even more who are planning to begin
A better world isn't just coming, the foundations are already being laid
