Learning Bitcoin from the Command Line is a free self-paced course with over 2K+ stars & 500+ forks on GitHub. Many developers got their start with Learning Bitcoin and ultimately got jobs in our ecosystem from it. [2/9]

Our intent with Learning Bitcoin has always been to invite interested peoples to join the pool of Bitcoin developers. We’re thrilled to now open the door to hundreds of millions of native speakers of Portuguese and Spanish [3/9].

The recent decision by El Salvador to make Bitcoin into legal tender shows why this is so important [4/9]. https://www.npr.org/2021/09/07/1034838909/bitcoin-el-salvador-legal-tender-official-currency-cryptocurrency

Our interns this year, and thus the Learning Bitcoin translations, were sponsored in part by @HRF. Thank you! Access to financial systems is a human right! [6/9]

We would love to do more translations. We feel that Italian may be the next big opportunity for expansion, but if you’ve got some Bitcoin knowledge, are a native speaker of a non-English language, and could get support to help with translations and review, let us know! [7/9]

Meanwhile, our next big project is going to be a major update to Learning Bitcoin from the Command Line, our v3.0, to add new content about Taproot, Schnorr, miniscript, and more. [8/9] https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/Learning-Bitcoin-from-the-Command-Line/blob/master/TODO-30.md

Learning Bitcoin is challenging to fund, because our students aren’t in a position to become patrons, and the people hiring Bitcoin developers are too distant to see the advantages. Consider supporting us by becoming a monthly patron. [9/9] https://github.com/sponsors/BlockchainCommons
