I've been a high school math teacher for 10 years and a Bitcoin educator for 3 years. The aim of this territory is to combine all our efforts to better teach no-coiners about Bitcoin, and also to be a platform for teaching and learning more about all subjects. Introduce yourself and share a bit about your education experience. Where do you go to learn about Bitcoin? Math? Science? History? Art? etc. Let's build!

I hope this territory gets the attention and traction it deserves.
I've long lost count of the number of times I've seen a discussion, debate, argument, "brain storm", seminar, research paper, or any other scenario where solutions are sought for difficult, seemingly. persistent problems end up with the same answer: education, education, education.
And more specifically, early childhood development. (A topic close to my heart.)
The sooner we get our young ones on a sound footing, the better their chances are to help us solve those difficult problems. Like poverty and financial ignorance, for example.
Best of luck with your territory!

This territory is interesting, there are many things that I still don't know about this Bitcoin world. Some like. How to send Bitcoin with less fee, how to transfer my lightning sats to the native network and other things. I'm in learning mode and for now I only buy and save but there are tricks that make you save some sats and be more anonymous

and those are fabulous questions! Briefly, the network is congested right now for a variety of reasons, so fees are very high. We don't know how long this will last. Fees may never come down on the "native network" (layer 1 on chain bitcoin). This is why 2nd layers like the Lightning network exist, for instantaneous, low fee payments.
And there are ways to transfer lightning sats to on chain with "swaps." There are many platforms that provide this service such as https://www.lnswap.org/
Closing a lightning channel will also send sats from lightning back to your on chain balance, but that's more advanced and only if you run a lightning node....
There is a lot more to this, but those are the basics for now.

If the fees are high, that's why I haven't sent sats to my wallet and I have some sats that I also want to keep cold but I'm still not good with all the information. Thank you for reviewing the information you have recommended.

Yes, it is very unfortunate that it is expensive to send sats to cold storage right now. I hear you on that!

There are also Bitcoin only platforms like Strike and CashApp that allow FREE withdrawals to cold storage.

buying and saving is very important! But the more you learn, the more conviction you will have and you will never panic sell, no matter how volatile the price gets! All the best Bitcoin educational resources will be posted here in due time. I've only just created this territory 2 hours ago. I'm telling all my friends and coworkers about it now!

lol, we did not already have such a territory? Interesting :)
I assume this means you'll be more active in SN now? :)

That is a correct assumption. Considering my eyes haven't left SN since I learned about territories 2 hours ago. :)
