It's great to see that universities started to adopt Blockchain but from what I have read looks like they will only focus on financial part, and blockchain technology could be used for much more.

Great news we need more recognized institutions to adopt the blockchain technology for other countries/institutions to follow suit, but the only downside of the rapidly changing technology is some jobs will be phased out along the way all in the bid of improving productivity,efficiency and profits.

Really good news, I hope other universities follow suit. Blockchain technology is here to stay and if there were any courses where one could learn the fundamentals of how it actually works i.e the technical side then it's a positive thing!

I'm optimistic about the future of bitcoin and blockchain. But, universities like Stanford, UC Berkeley and MIT are adding blockchain course offerings and content--they're 'voting' on blockchain technology to stick around for a while.
