About My First Bitcoin

Team

  • “It's crucial that we teach how to think, rather than what to think, and support from the community makes that possible at a global scale.”

    JohnUnited StatesFounder

  • “Bitcoin is the best tool we have to regain the sovereignty and agency we lost long ago. And independent, grassroots education is the best way to put it in as many hands as possible.”

    QuentinFranceExecutive Director

  • “Bitcoin decentralizes money. Open education decentralizes knowledge. Together, they return power to the individual, where it always belonged.”

    PabloEl SalvadorDirector of Education

  • “I've always been drawn to ideas that challenge people to think differently about the world around them. My First Bitcoin combines two things I care deeply about (education and individual empowerment) and gives people the opportunity to learn about a technology that can expand their economic freedom and future opportunities.”

    TreyUnited StatesDirector of Finance and Administration

  • “Bitcoin is far more than money or technology. To me, it is a new language for human collaboration, and we are only beginning to understand its second- and third-order effects on society. That's why helping empower the educators who are bringing this knowledge to the world feels like one of the most fulfilling and important missions on the planet today.”

    PatrickGermanyDirector of Communications and Events

  • “Bitcoin can transform the world, but it requires human capital. At My First Bitcoin, we turn that vision into reality by delivering the education and grassroots community support needed to empower individuals everywhere.”

    ArnoldNetherlandsDirector of Community Growth

  • “Bitcoin education isn't just about money. It's about giving people the tools to think independently and act on their own terms. That's the mission.”

    BenoîtFranceDirector of Technology

  • “Bitcoin is freedom. And only through education can people truly understand why. That's the mission I'm here to accelerate.”

    GabrielParaguayEducator Training Lead

  • “My First Bitcoin sits at the intersection of grassroots education, community building and Satoshi's invention. Together, we can leverage this powerful combination and define the future of money.”
