I like Coursera. But I would suggest Princeton makes one more Bitcoin-related course for non-technical users. It would drive crypto adoption, I suppose

I second this idea, it would be great to have something along the lines of an introduction to Bitcoin for the everyday person to spend some time on and then feel confident in what Bitcoin is, this is a good move though and will inspire others to do similar courses.

Would likely do no good. There are already lots of videos on the same, but a lot of people dont prefer watching them. A course on bitcoin would likely not be watched by people who haven't delved into bitcoin before.

For the bitcoin crowd, this would definitely be a great step forward specially as its still a technology which is being improved.
