Title: khanacademy gearing up for bitcoin lesson? Post by: julz on July 26, 2011, 08:21:10 AM (Well this is the speculation section.. I assume I don't need much more than a twinge in my big toe as evidence)
Sal Khan of khanacademy.org has been doing some videos on inflation, deflation, velocity of money, banking etc over the past weeks. e.g http://www.khanacademy.org/video/deflationary-spiral?playlist=Finance I feel sure* he's winding up for a big bitcoin exposé any time now... let's hope it's a positive one! (or at least nicely balanced and neutral as his stuff generally appears to be) Oh what a joy it would be ... people arriving on these forums already economically literate! ;) *for some extremely speculative value of 'sure' Title: Re: khanacademy gearing up for bitcoin lesson?

Title: Re: khanacademy gearing up for bitcoin lesson? Post by: julz on August 02, 2013, 07:32:44 AM I knew it! My big toe is always right... *and* they now accept BTC donations.
Ok.. so I was a mere 2 years early on that one. :) For my next 'big toe' insight... umm.. dunno.. I got nothing... but I'll let you know when it twinges again! Title: Re: khanacademy gearing up for bitcoin lesson? Post by: vokain on August 02, 2013, 07:36:03 AM bitcoin is too good of an idea

Awesome, I love Khan Academy ! Title: Re: khanacademy gearing up for bitcoin lesson? Post by: julz on August 02, 2013, 08:16:27 AM This is related to the price of btc how? Well 2 years ago it was the sort of thing that might have moved the price - now - not so much. It's also economics related - and speculative... but hey.. mods will mod... and so the thread moved.

This just came to mind: It would be a really good trolling opportunity to come up with a thread which hazek and Bliz bounce at each other because they think it doesn't belong their forum. Too bad hazek isn't here right now. ;) Title: Re: khanacademy gearing up for bitcoin lesson? Post by: julz on August 02, 2013, 08:43:36 AM This is related to the price of btc how?

Too bad hazek isn't here right now. ;) That would be fun! FWIW - the pinned post that the speculation forum "... is for the speculation and discussion of bitcoin's value" came in 2012 - well after this thread was created. Anyway I firmly believe that this thread is utterly appropriate for Economy>Economics>Speculation reporting! ;) |
