 Yeaterday I had a great time of 90 minutes lecture about #Bitcoin to 7th grade adolescents.

I was a bit shocked that most of them never heard of it. It was only 3 that could barely say anything about, or related to it.

Started with the basics of trying to define what is money, or could be considered as money. Explained the basic mathematics principles of cryptography, and moved forward to the Whitepaper, Blockchain and all that jazz.

What made it really great was using nostr:npub18d4r6wanxkyrdfjdrjqzj2ukua5cas669ew2g5w7lf4a8te7awzqey6lt3 to demonstrate it live, where all of them waited eagerly for next block! As well as nostr:npub1s0vtkgej33n7ec4d7ycxmwt78up8hpfa30d0yfksrshq7t82mchqynpq6j's Passport for making it feel easy to use for anybody, and Offline Cash for those we felt in a real need to hold something in hands.

Educating the next generation with mathematics and Bitcoin will make a better society to live in. One lecture at a time. 🤘🏻
