@JayW132 @BitcoinColl @willreeves @fold_app You’re doing great work @JayW132 — recently added two of your videos as lessons within my Bitcoin for Businesses unit. Appreciate all you’re doing.

He built a platform that turns every coffee, grocery run and bill payment into Bitcoin. In the future, all Bitcoin will be earned, not bought. Here's why he believes that and what it means for your business. I really enjoyed this one with @willreeves, CEO of @fold_app, and I hope you do too!

@ts_hodl For those who find words boring, here’s a visual version of what Trey is talking about.

Calling rental income “passive” hides the actual job you’re taking on. A rental property is a small operating business with leverage attached. You’re underwriting the purchase price, the mortgage, the tenant, the vacancy risk, the repair budget, the insurance bill, the tax bill, and the local market, then hoping the leftover cash flow is worth the hours you put into it. That can work. I know people who have built real wealth through real estate, and I respect the skill involved. But that’s the point: it takes skill. The FIRE version often gets sold as buying a few doors, collecting checks, and escaping your paycheck. The messier version includes a broken water heater, a tenant who stops paying, a surprise roof bill, and $150/month of “cash flow” that only looks good if you ignore your time. Your primary home is a utility. Rental properties are optional operating businesses. Bitcoin is the savings vehicle. Once you separate those three jobs, your FIRE plan gets a lot cleaner.

Started building an education layer for Bitcoin treasury companies to make it easier to understand what @asjwebley @ColeMacro @saylor @gerovich and others are doing.

Built a new home for the Bitcoin Learning Dashboard. A better starting point for anyone trying to make sense of Bitcoin without getting lost in the noise. Includes: • guided learning path • curated units and series • progress tracking • live Bitcoin market context • Bitcoin treasury education—starting with @smarterwebuk @Strive @Strategy and @Metaplanet californiabitcoin.org/dashboard/home/ Bitcoin-only. Guided learning.

@ColeMacro Impressive across the board. The product, the messaging, and the execution all feel aligned. Looking forward to what comes next.

@BTCsessions Thank you for all the time you’ve given to Bitcoin education. Congrats on beginning the next chapter 👊

I've been educating in Bitcoin for 10 years. Here's what's next... Join me. @SovereignSessions?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@SovereignSess…

@Croesus_BTC Appreciate this, Jesse. Grateful for the support.

The latest in cool #Bitcoin education resources... Worth checking out: @CABitcoinLab is building a guided approach to Bitcoin education, with a curated library and a lesson-by-lesson dashboard. Link: californiabitcoin.org

@80IQConviction @Michaeljdobbin Wish wish wish I could be there, but it’s just not possible for this California supporter. Do you know if it’ll be streaming live like the Unconference in NYC? @TimKotzman @asjwebley

Who is coming to the Unconference from the community? We must think of a way for us all to meet each other this time

@ldo_dev 💯

Idea is what you build. Code is how you build it. Community is why you build it. Find a problem worth solving, ship something that fixes it, and share the journey so others don't have to figure it out alone

@BitcoinBond_007 @BranBTC Enjoy the week and congrats on the pivot to Bitcoin-only. Also your X handle is 🔥

Less than a day away from my first Bitcoin conference ever. I left shitcoins and became Bitcoin ONLY just under a year ago, June 2025 and it has been one of the best years of my life. Beyond excited for this week!

@JM_speakss For me it was less desperation and more disruption. Complacency was doing its thing until Covid forced a pause/reset. That opened the door to curiosity.

Here’s the thing though… Would anyone actually adopt Bitcoin if they weren’t desperate first? The version of you with zero problems probably never needed Bitcoin in the first place. Be honest… Did you find Bitcoin because your life was comfortable? Or because something forced you to look for a way out?

@hugobos___ @jdennehy_writes @MyFirstBitcoin_ Are you onboarding in collaboration with the @btcmap team (they are great)? I just built a separate learning dashboard for businesses and for BTC Map community managers—feel free to DM me if you’re interested. 👊

@jdennehy_writes @MyFirstBitcoin_ Amazing. I'm recommanding your ressources to all the merchants I onboard to Bitcoin

This week @myfirstbitcoin_ quietly pushed an update which will fundamentally reimagine bitcoin education. Let me explain… We released 6 new programs, always open-source, but the bigger story is the redesign of our infrastructure that will massively accelerate local bitcoin education on a global scale. We converted everything to .md--now anyone can customize programs for their community using AI. I’m not just talking about languages (40+ now available) but the ability to easily transform graphics, analogies, etc. Anyone in the world can now learn Bitcoin easily AND anyone in the world can now teach Bitcoin easily. Among the new releases is an Educator’s Guide for the Bitcoin Diploma as well as an Educators Training Program (ETP) This also kicks off a new release schedule with a major release every two years with a point release every 6 months ( eg: 1.0 > 1.1 > 1.2 > 1.3 > 2.0 etc.). The next release will be in October and expect that to be even more impactful and wider ranging than this one. What we released this week is a proof of concept of our new direction of creating a global framework to massively accelerate the independent bitcoin education movement. And BEFORE October we will begin to roll out more frameworks and tools to build out that infrastructure. We have never accepted government funding for our work and we never will. Bitcoin shows us that we must separate money and state. Our aim is to also separate education and state. All of our funding comes from the community, so if you have some spare sats please consider donating Everything we do is open source and permissionless. You can start learning or teaching today. Period. However, we are also building a social layer for this emerging network, designed to be a space to find support, share best practices and create unstoppable community. Each month we have a virtual gathering (network-only) and we also host public educators unconfrences, such as the one held in Nairobi earlier this month. The next one will be June 10thin Prague Independent bitcoin education will change the world. Join us!

@kit_sats Keep studying. Keep learning. Stay focused on first principles and block out the noise.

If you could go back to the day you first heard about Bitcoin, what one piece of advice would you give yourself (other than "buy more")?
