AB2024 + Bitcoin Para Niños
Original | A Brief Retrospective from San Salvador | Bitcoin Para Niños, 2024
Indeed, true wealth lies in the joy of single moments and the wisdom we find in them... A short summary of this year's mission for kiddos in the picturesque country of sound money, volcanoes, and freedom.
The past few years in the Bitcoin space have brought many changes, improvements, and the rise of vast new areas of topics as well as activities. All of this is happening thanks to the efforts of many people—the ground zero of Bitcoin: the community. Local meetups, bigger events, and complex conferences are some of the main reasons we can see all this progress.
Not long ago, it was hard to imagine seeing even a few women at conferences, let alone younger generations—children, teenagers, or entire families. Recently, a new trend has emerged: family-friendly spaces with a fun approach to learning.
Personally, we had the chance to experience this at four different conferences, the latest being Adopting Bitcoin, which gave us the opportunity to create something truly magical. Bitcoin Para Niños—the entire area with its dedicated program for younger participants and their guardians.

15-16 November, San Salvador—Bitcoin Para Niños: A family-friendly space full of education and fun.
To give you a feel for the vibes, below are some photos and posts directly refering to this event.
In a nushell: Two full days, with an average of 6-25 kids of different ages, several amazing adults offering their support and sessions filled with entertainment and education.
This year at Adopting Bitcoin, you’ll find a dedicated zone called Bitcoin Para Niños, where kids can have fun, make new friends, and explore a variety of topics, from sound money to creative thinking. Some parts of the agenda will also welcome older participants, including parents, teachers, and anyone interested in discussing the importance of Bitcoin for younger generations. The program will be available in both English and Spanish.
- FREE admission for all Adopting Bitcoin ticket holders!
- Kids under 18 don’t need extra tickets: bring the younger members of your family along!
Bitcoin Para Niños is created in collaboration with the project Bitcoin Junior Club: Sovereign Generation, and is supported by local and global initiatives focused on youth and education. Thank you to everyone involved!
Snapshots
Although there weren’t many volunteers given the amount of work, those who showed up brought big hearts, passion, and love, making the impossible possible by bringing so many things together. Overall, they all helped us builing up an experience full unforgettable memories.
Not everything went as planned. The real problem was the heavy water falling from the sky at the end of the first day. Rain was in the crisis management plan, but no one expected it to pour that hard. It ruined a lot of materials and set off a domino effect that changed everything moving forward. Thankfully, the conference organizers gave us an indoor space for the next day, so Bitcoin Para Niños could continue with just a small setback, still filled with good vibes and motivation.
We would like to thank everyone who gave us the chance to create this unique experience, as well as the projects and individuals who helped us a lot—both remotely and on-site, offering their materials, direct work and dedication.
