Acton Academy - From Fiat Classrooms to Sovereign Learners

Bitcoin didn’t just change how I thought about money—it exposed how broken our education system is.

Acton Academy is a radically different school model built around self-directed learning, real responsibility, and preparing kids for a world where obedience is obsolete and curiosity is king. No lectures. No busywork. No centralized authority pretending it knows what’s best for every child.

This meetup is a candid walkthrough of the Acton Academy model, why it resonates so strongly with Bitcoin values (sovereignty, responsibility, long-term thinking), and what it looks like to build a school for the post-industrial, AI-accelerated world.

If you’re a parent, future parent, or just someone who believes education should create capable, independent humans—not compliant workers—this will challenge some assumptions.
