Direct peers

• BTC Sessions: Canadian open-source Bitcoin education platform led by Ben Perrin. BTC Sessions produces free, structured Bitcoin curriculum in multiple languages with a similar train-the-trainer ethos and is explicitly endorsed on My First Bitcoin's site as a partner network.
• Learn Me a Bitcoin: Open-source, interactive Bitcoin education resource created by Yan Pritzker. Provides free, beginner-friendly Bitcoin curriculum in multiple formats, sharing the open-source and self-paced ethos of My First Bitcoin.
• Bitcoin Optech: Open-source Bitcoin technical education resource producing weekly newsletters, workshops, and documentation for developers. Comparable as an open-source Bitcoin education publisher, though focused on the developer audience rather than general beginners.
• Découvre Bitcoin: France-based non-profit offering open-source Bitcoin education in French with a near-identical model: free curriculum, independent educator network, and grassroots community building. Frequently cited alongside My First Bitcoin as part of the global open-source Bitcoin education movement.
• Chaincode Labs: Bitcoin-focused research and education organization running residency programs, workshops, and Bitcoin protocol education. Comparable as a non-academic Bitcoin education specialist with strong industry credibility.

Broad incumbents

• Blockstream: Major Bitcoin infrastructure company with an education arm (research papers, Liquid developer documentation, and speaking content). Comparable as a Bitcoin-focused organization producing educational content for the ecosystem, though primarily infrastructure-oriented.
• Khan Academy: Large-scale free online education platform that previously hosted a dedicated Bitcoin/cryptocurrency course. Comparable as a free digital curriculum provider with global reach, though Bitcoin is only one of many subjects.
• Saylor Academy: Non-profit offering free college-level courses including dedicated Bitcoin and blockchain curriculum (notably MicroStrategy's 'Bitcoin for Everybody' course hosted there). Comparable as a free, online education platform with Bitcoin content at broader scope.
• Human Rights Foundation (HRF) Bitcoin Development Fund: HRF is a core financial partner of My First Bitcoin and runs its own parallel Bitcoin education and grants program focused on financial freedom. As both funder and overlapping programmatic player, HRF is a comparable mission-aligned peer.

Emerging players

• PlebLab: Bitcoin-focused community organization running educational events, hackathons, and developer workshops. Comparable as a grassroots Bitcoin education community-builder though focused more on builders than beginners.
