Vision for 2025

For Mi Primer Bitcoin El Salvador (npub17cy…4ml3)

This year is going to be massive for bitcoin adoption. Institutions and governments are coming in a big way. We need to be a counterweight to that.

We need to entrench the importance of grassroots bitcoin education in 2025, because 2026 may be too late. This is our year to show that, one, this is happening in El Salvador & around the world, two, it is growing, three (to our allies), it is extremely valuable and worth defending and supporting, three (to our adversaries), you can’t stop us.

This year we transform from a project into a movement.

The way we will primary do that is much of the same—proof of work. We need to keep SHOWING & building. In addition, we need to do a better job TELLING. And the later will manifest itself in several ways in addition to what we already do there, including a newsletter, media coverage, an updated website with the various boards and their notes, and writing our own history.

We also need to continue to build out global infrastructure for the movement. Our end goal is to make ourselves irrelevant—to live in a world where empowered individuals are the norm. An early step toward that is within the Node Network, and empowering others there rather than doing the work for them. This is one of the key ways we can transform from a project into a movement.

Another step on that journey is to build alliances and coalitions with others. One way to do this officially is via the Advisory Board and other governance layers such as the Board of Directors and the Assembly. Including people from ‘outside’ the project, but who are still ‘inside’ the movement will accelerate and entrench this.

We will scale, not by consolidating power & authority, but by giving it away.

We need to open-source everything.

This SHOWS that we are serious when we say the world can be different and we want to provide an example. The transparency that comes with this will hold us accountable and improve communication. It shows that this is about something bigger than us and transforms a project into a global movement. When adopted by others it entrenches the idea across borders and around the world and makes the movement more powerful and harder to stop.
