FINALLY - yay! I got to interview one of my Bitcoin inspirations who is educating 10,000's of young minds around the WORLD with the Bitcoin Diploma - John Dennehy - Founder of Mi Primer Bitcoin. We dive into the inspiring journey of John Dennehy, founder of Mi Primer Bitcoin, a Bitcoin education nonprofit. John shares his experiences as a father and how it has deepened his understanding of his mission to provide open-source Bitcoin education. He discusses the challenges and triumphs of teaching 40,000 students in El Salvador and the importance of decentralization and independence in education. John explains the significance of Bitcoin as a tool for personal empowerment and sovereignty, emphasizing the importance of teaching people how to think independently. He also discusses the global expansion of Bitcoin education through the Independent Bitcoin Educators Node Network, highlighting the importance of community-led and decentralized education. The conversation shifts to the recent developments in El Salvador, including the controversial IMF agreement and its implications for Bitcoin as legal tender. John shares his insights on the potential motivations behind the government's decisions and the broader impact on Bitcoin's role in promoting freedom and decentralization. Throughout the episode, John emphasizes the need for transparency, independence, and community-driven initiatives in the Bitcoin space, urging listeners to learn about Bitcoin and embrace the responsibility and empowerment it offers. <a href="https://myfirstbitcoin.io/" target="_blank">https://myfirstbitcoin.io/</a> <a href="https://x.com/MyFirstBitcoin_" target="_blank">https://x.com/MyFirstBitcoin_</a> <a href="https://x.com/jdennehy_writes" target="_blank">https://x.com/jdennehy_writes</a> <a href="https://geyser.fund/" target="_blank">https://geyser.fund/</a> 🔥 LISTEN TO EPISODE HERE <a href="https://serve.podhome.fm/episodepage/djvalerieblove/203" target="_blank">https://serve.podhome.fm/episodepage/djvalerieblove/203</a> (00:00:32) Introduction and Guest Welcome(00:01:01) Fatherhood and Personal Growth(00:02:07) Impact of Parenthood on Mission(00:03:25) Overview of Mi Premier Bitcoin(00:05:34) Success and Challenges in Bitcoin Education(00:09:35) Open Source Education and Global Impact(00:14:01) Decentralized Education Network(00:17:31) Empowering Local Educators(00:24:31) Funding and Independence from Governments(00:28:42) IMF and Global Power Dynamics(00:36:31) El Salvador's Bitcoin Journey(00:46:29) Challenges and Future of El Salvador's Bitcoin Policy(00:51:46) Tether and Stablecoins Discussion(00:59:34) Conclusion and Final Thoughts ❤️  SUBSCRIBE to Manifest with LOVE Newsletter <a href="https://djvalerieblove.com/subscribe" target="_blank">https://djvalerieblove.com/subscribe</a> 🧡  SUPPORT THE SHOW WITH TIPS - Thank You!
