In Phase 2, The Network Ignites.
01 · The Education Flywheel
Empowering Those That Empower Others.
Every educator we empower brings new students to the network.
At every turn of the wheel, it also accelerates.
Every new student is a potential future educator, in turn empowering more individuals with independent Bitcoin education.
This is how we ignite and grow the grassroots Bitcoin education movement.
The wheel's stages, in order:
- Beginner: Starts Here
- Bitcoin Student: 725
- Bitcoiner: 896
- Certified Bitcoiner: coming
- Bitcoin Educator: 166
- Certified Educator: 68
- Community Leader: 199
- Ambassador: Coming
At the center of the wheel, Educators Worldwide: 199 Active Educators Teaching, reaching 31,108 learners, and the wheel keeps turning.
Stage counts show the Education Network today · the center total is all-time.
02 · Roadmap
We Keep Building the Infrastructure.
The roadmap's four phases: Foundations, Ignition (We Are Here), Scaling, Year Wrap.

13 · Our Mission
Every Human Is Born With Boundless Potential.
Education determines whether we believe in that potential.
Money determines if we have the power to act on it.
Yet we’ve entrusted both to the very institutions we should be questioning.
What if we separated education and money from the state?
What if they became grassroots, independent, community-led?
The steps, from first to last:
- Independent Bitcoin Education
- Incorruptible Money
- Empowered Individuals
- Better, Freer World
Let’s unleash human potential, together.
