Ferrow Bitcoin School (sample) is a small non-profit that teaches bitcoin to adults in Springfield: in the library, online and at workplaces that ask.
In 2019 two volunteers ran a one-off evening talk at the library because neighbours kept asking them the same questions. Forty people came. Today the school runs the twelve-lesson course every month and publishes short news every week (sample).
Five rules for every lesson, class and news report.
We explain the technology, the risks and the rules. We never say whether, when or what to buy.
No exchange, wallet maker or coin pays for lessons, articles or the room (sample).
Every term is explained the first time it appears, and the glossary keeps the rest.
Workshops use test coins, so learning never puts anyone’s savings at risk.
Nobody is told a question is too basic. Most of the course was written from questions.
Volunteer teachers and one part-time editor, all from Springfield (sample).
