Mi Primer Bitcoin Crowdfunds 1 BTC On Geyser For 2023 Expansion

"Our 10-week Bitcoin Diploma program was the first in the world to be used in a public school system and is now being used in multiple continents around the world."

"In 2022, we reached 11,064 students with our Bitcoin Introduction and Bitcoin Diploma Programs in El Salvador."
"In March 2023 alone, we achieved the following:

- Reached 6,017 students with these programs.
- Launched a decentralized education network with schools (nodes) around the world, including in South Africa, Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Portugal, and the United States.
- Trained several new teachers, some of whom were former students, and all of whom are paid in Bitcoin.
- Added one new long-term sponsor."
"Our growth has been rapid and we have big plans for the rest of 2023, including:

- Translating the MPB Diploma into 5+ different languages.
- Expanding our decentralized education network into 20 new countries.
- We're having our largest graduation in May in El Salvador with 415 Bitcoin Diploma Graduates."
"All this growth comes at a cost, though. Our old budget projections no longer apply, and we need your help to continue this incredible growth.

"Our campaign goal is to raise 2 BTC going toward expansion plans for April and May. An anonymous donor has offered to pay for air travel for one random donor if we can get to 1 BTC in donations on Geyser Fund."
The campaign, launched on April 12, has already crowdfunded more than 1 BTC in April.

We did it! We crowdfunded 1 BTC on @geyserfund in April

A matching donation from @Bitcoinbeach put us over the top last night--what a way to end the month :)

Huge THANK YOU to the 250+ donors who got us here

This is a movement that we are all part of & edu is how we will win
