Introduce yourself! 👋

[simatendepaul]

Hi everyone! I’m excited to introduce myself!

My name is Paul Simatende, and I’m honored to be part of the Mi Primer Bitcoin Light Node community.

I’m currently helping to launch and teach our first Mi Primer Bitcoin course in Zambia, hosted through Bitcoin Campus Zambia.

A little about me:
I was first introduced to Bitcoin by my father back in 2017 while I was still in high school. That moment sparked a long journey of curiosity and discovery.

In 2020, I completed the Introduction to Digital Currencies course from the University of Nicosia, which laid my academic foundation in this space.

In 2024, I joined Bitcoin Victoria Falls, where I completed the Mi Primer Bitcoin course. That experience was truly life-changing and sparked a deep passion in me to help others understand Bitcoin the way I did.

Fast forward to 2025, I launched my own local initiative Bitcoin Campus Zambia (@btc_campus_zm on X) to teach and guide students from my university and others in my community through the same transformative course.

My mission is simple:
To help onboard as many people as possible into the world of Bitcoin — in a way that’s accessible, practical, and community-driven.

I’m looking forward to connecting with fellow educators, learning from all of you, and contributing to this growing global movement.

Hi! I’m Roark Janis and currently staying in Karachi, Pakistan. I’m hoping to set up a node for MFB there since there is so much interest about Bitcoin in the country lately.

I’m also working on several different Bitcoin projects including Bitbooks, BitcoinCruise, BitcoinConnector and BitcoinMiningPakistan. I have software and marketing companies in Pakistan that have deep experience and can help with your Bitcoin projects.

I welcome any connections and collaboration.

[tokio]

Hi everyone! I’m Tokio, founder of Satoshi Somos Todos, a Bitcoin-focused community in the Dominican Republic.

I’m passionate about Bitcoin education and circular economies. We’re currently building a local Bitcoin economy and launching a National Bitcoin Literacy Plan (PNAC) to bring free, in-person Bitcoin education to schools.

Excited to connect and share with others building the future of Bitcoin

[ChrisMeinhart]

Hi @tokio! A warm welcome! Thanks for introducing yourself.

[veroton]

Very cool stuff, Tim! I really enjoy the Yzer app and how accessible and stimulating the content is. Helps me a lot to close my own knowledge gap and explain concepts to other. Great to have you here!

[veroton]

Hi All! I am so stoked to join this global community of change makers. Thank you for everything you’re doing!

After years of navigating life with one foot in fiat world and the other in Bitcoin, I can’t wait to switch lanes and double down on advancing Bitcoin adoption & education. I have been a silent observer cheering from the sidelines for too long, and it’s time to step into the playing field. As much as I love seeing the big players entering the scene and the state adoption momentum, I feel like there’s a lot of work that needs to be done on the individual adoption level, so that more people can reap greater benefits down the road.

I have been searching for ways to spread the knowledge that helped me in so many ways. After a few minor successes and a lot of major failures at orange pilling, I have been looking for better ways to explain it, and I was so grateful to find the MFB team. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. My aspiration is to join the node network and expand it to multiple locations where I have strong ties in Canada, Romania and Kazakhstan.

I am currently based in Toronto, Canada.

[ChrisMeinhart]

Soy contador público retirado, director y fundador de una empresa de tecnología que desde hace más de 30 años trabaja por el desarrollo de sus clientes.

En una nueva vuelta de tuerca y con el objetivo de aprovechar el tiempo libre que me da mi nueva condición de contador retirado para dejar un mundo mejor me estoy embarcando en este nuevo proyecto que he dado en llamar bitcoinpunta

Comenzando por aquí para profundizar el aprendizaje sobre bitcoin y compartir experiencias tenemos por objeto implementar en las instituciones educativas de nivel secundario de Uruguay el diploma de MPB para armar una masa crítica de entusiastas que nos ayuden a difundir la idea.

En paralelo con este proceso estaremos trabajando en la creación en mi país de una nueva economía circular basada en BTC.

En suma, muchas ganas y energía para ayudar a alumbrar un mundo más justo y solidario

Agradeciendo desde ya el apoyo de los docentes y nodos de MPB para estos primeros pasos me pongo a disposición para lo que consideren oportuno.

I am a retired public accountant, director and founder of a technology company that has been working for the development of its clients for over 30 years.

In a new twist, and with the goal of taking advantage of the free time my new status as a retired accountant gives me to leave a better world, I am embarking on this new project I have dubbed bitcoinpunta.

Starting here to deepen learning about Bitcoin and share experiences, we aim to implement the MPB diploma in Uruguay’s secondary schools to build a critical mass of enthusiasts who will help us spread the idea.

In parallel with this process, we will be working on the creation of a new circular economy based on BTC in my country.

In short, I am eager and energetic to help bring about a more just and supportive world

I thank MPB teachers and nodes for their support in these first steps, and I am available for whatever they deem appropriate.
