🎙️ My guest today is Reyna Chicas, the Director of Education at My First Bitcoin (Mi Primer Bitcoin), an organization pioneering grassroots Bitcoin education in El Salvador.
This was SUCH a good episode! Mad respect for Reyna! Her story is super interesting, and her journey from her early years to being the Director of Education for Mi Primer Bitcoin is extremely inspiring! Loved her comment that early on she would study Bitcoin so she could teach more effectively. Was really touched by her statement that an early opportunity came because someone was seeing something in her that she didn't see herself. And I LOVED the story about the minister! Still need to make it down to El Salvador, but it was cool to hear you both talk about how "everyone smiles at you" (and Efrat's comment that she saw people whistling and that you can't whistle unless you are happy made me chuckle because it's true). Just overall a really enjoyable episode with a really great guest! Really hoping I get a chance to meet Reyna at a Bitcoin event in the near future.
