Frank Corva⁠ (political correspondent at ⁠Bitcoin Magazine⁠) sits down with ⁠John Dennehy⁠ (founder of ⁠My First Bitcoin⁠) for a wide-ranging fireside chat about:

• The moment John realized he wasn’t free... and how that set him on a collision course with state power

• Why every other Bitcoin education initiative in El Salvador failed, and how his survived without funding or permission

• How a noisy classroom of Salvadoran teenagers changed the mission for good

• The quiet war over curriculum (and what happened when the Ministry of Education tried to shut him down)

• Why teaching kids might be the best way to reach the adults

• The radical plan to bring Bitcoin literacy to every U.S. prison inmate

• How John’s open-source model is spreading to 39 countries and how the Bitcoin community can help
