Title: What Is a GREAT Course Title?
Post by: Paleus on October 20, 2015, 04:49:22 PM
Hi Guys,

I am looking to put together a detailed course on the economic, technical, and political implications of bitcoin. I thought to brainstorm with the community here today to try and come up with an ideal course title - one which generates interest and accurately portrays some of the content one would expect to find in the course.

The course will carry a price tag of $100 and every though some of you may say that is expensive, we are tailoring it to a business professional crowd and are confident that the quality of the course content will be much more valuable than this price. The content we put into this course will be the very best on the topic of bitcoin and quite likely the best bitcoin course available on the market today.

If you are interested in receiving updates about such a course, click here (https://diginomics.com/mailing-list/).

Let me know what some of your thoughts are on the course title. We will give a free admission to the course for a headline which is proposed from the community here and accepted for the course.

Hi,
I did not vote because I think the best title for your course would be:

Bitcoin: economic, technical and political implications

You've said it yourself in the first sentence  :) and IMO this would be the best.

I've gone for choice 3, "Bitcoin For Business: Mastering The Transition to Digital Money".  I like the transition bit.  

Never heard the phrase "Internet of money" before and it sounds like some kind of buzzword/buzzphrase which puts me off entirely.  I know businesses do like their buzzwords to make them sound "smart" though, whereas I personally feel that buzzwords do the opposite and make people sound dumb, like cattle repeating a phrase when half the time they don't know what it even means.

I'll go with choice #4 Bitcoin: An Internet of Money as its more interesting to the eye in my opinion and more will get attracted to it since its about money stuff and people usually go with it but still my opinion is different from others :)

Bitcoin For Business: Mastering Digital Money In The Information Age. Because it is long and impressive sounding.

I like this one:

Bitcoin Digital Economy: Mastering The Internet of Money

It's simple, not super pretentious and up to the point. I think "The internet of money" is a very marketeable name and that's what Bitcoin is. Specifically it's like the TCP/IP of money so that title might as well do the job.

It has to be :

Bitcoin For Business: Mastering The Transition to Digital Money

That title I would think is honest and straight to the point and understandable.

This is a great suggestion. It short and powerful, covers a wide variety of topics that OP wants to discuss. Very well done.

Furthermore, I think 100 USD is quite cheap if it really is a useful course.

digital money has been around before the millenium.. infact it has been around since the 70's.. apart from them paper IOU's that people call bank notes.. peoples bank accounts and loans and bills are 99% digital money..

so i dont think digital money is really saying anything new

by the way.. as for your ignorance of what digital money is. and your other topic about fungibility of bitcoin. makes me think your maybe not the right person to be making courses..

I've yet to hear your counter-argument on the subject Franky.

I prefer the Bitcoin Digital Economy: Mastering The Internet of Money title.

The Digital Currency Council already offers similar courses to certify professionals working in the digital currency space.

You need something simple. Not to confuse people too much when they hear or read about it. That's why I vote for number 3:

Bitcoin For Business: Mastering The Transition to Digital Mone

Bitcoin For Business: Mastering Digital Money In The Information Age- NO.. because its too vague.. digital money also includes, fiat, facebook credits and paypal..

Bitcoin For Business: Mastering The Transition to Digital Money- NO.. because its too vague.. digital money also includes, fiat, facebook credits and paypal..

Bitcoin: An Internet of Money

That is what I voted. I think is more catchy and does not explain too much, so people would be more likely interested in it.

Chose the first one... I think it would be good in posters and other marketing campaigns and would attract people mildly interested in the topic.

Why are you obsessed with the word "mastering"? Is it because of Antonopoulos?

yea i think the OP has no proper skills and wants to milk the community for some lame 'courses' but thinks that he can get the large fee's by using a good title.

what he doesnt realise is anyone serious about bitcoin can get all the info they need for free or the price of a book. i too think he wants to follow in andreas footsteps but a lame title is not enough to even come close to the stuff andreas knows and teaches
