Bitcoin entering colleges and universities| DISCUSSION |

[tiedcoin]

Seeing that well-reputed schools like MIT have a Bitcoin club and is offering $500k worth of it only makes it clear about the future of BTC. The well-educated folk has probably realized the potential of the Crypto market and decided to gain more knowledge of it.
It is better to have knowledge of something and not need it than to need knowledge of something and not have it. The use of Bitcoin is increasing day by day and is becoming more accessible to the common man.
In the coming time, Bitcoin will be accepted as legal tender, and everyday tasks will be undertaken with the help of the cryptocurrency. It is refreshing to know that well-renowned institutions are accepting the rise of Bitcoin, unlike banks and governments that do not want it to become main-stream.

Question: How long do you think it will be until crypto currency classes are offered in colleges and Universities?

We even saw a beta test in australia where a university is giving away ethereum to its students. These sorts of ventures are very promising and will allow other countries and schools to adapt and try it out. These tests look to be going very smoothly and more and more people are going to peak interest when some more gains are being made.


We are even seeing elite schools like MIT which has a bitcoin club and is distributing $500k in bitcoin around the school and in programs.

Bitcoin is such a interesting technology and we will see in the future that crypto economics will be taught and fundamental crypto currency technology will be seen in middle schools and high schools throughout the country and world. As more money is made within the industry and since it is such a revolutionary and disruptive technology we will see more people getting into the field. The use of bitcoin training websites are growing, and since the age of open source projects is increasing we will see better ways to implement this system of teaching and learning. We are starting to connect minds across the world in a easy economy and so it is only a matter of time before we start to see this “brain disease” as the Anges Founder said in an interview. We are now seeing pop ups everywhere in the industry and so some investments made in the educational sector of crypto currency will certainly pay off as more people enter the space.

As more jobs arise from crypto currency, and as more “start ups” appear it will be more apparent that we need more teachers and professors giving classes on it. This can also give universities and colleges a competitive advantage in the recruiting process. Prospect students are going to be thirsty for cryptocurrency knowledge and experience and so I can see this grow in colleges and be an advertising and marketing point for them.

This is highly expected and it makes the adoption easy if educated people know about bitcoin and other coins. We can easily explain to our parents at home about the benefits of bitcoin if it is well taught in class and our institutions. More countries will adopt bitcoin if it also showing in schools' curriculum. I have a dream that time is coming when blockchain's knowledge will be one of the demand to be employed in banks, financial institutions, and hedge funds firms.

This is really a must thing every university has to do, when person studies in economy and business faculty, they must know something about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, not something in reality but almost everything but seems these development hasn't reached to universities, a place where person gets education, it's such a shame.
As time goes, life gets harder, we need more education, less free time, it's normal, we get adapted to it, in past knowing of reading was huge achievement, now everything has changed, that's the easiest thing a man can learn.

The courses will not be specifically focused on Bitcoin, but rather on Crypto currencies in general and also on Blockchain development. There are currently a lot of demand for people with formal Blockchain certification and the colleges and universities has picked up on that. We have seen several of these entities already offering smaller "Blockchain" based seminars and courses.

The whole thing will evolve as soon as regulators start to properly define the technology and when the industry start to implement it as either a commodity or a currency. Mainstream adoption will follow after that and then you will see a further increase in the demand for these courses.

In our colleges and universities today, courses like entrepreneurship,skill acquisition are taken and learnt in the classroom, thus i see no reason why blockchain and bitcoin(cryptocurrencies)lessons should not be incorporated, it's is infact a great method of giving students the needed knowledge that could grant them the financial freedom they need upon graduation.

I will write a personal message to my vice chancellor this week on the need why bitcoin(cryptocurrencies)and blockchain should be added to our curriculum, I'll keep you guys updated on It's progress.

[electronicash]

they could add the curriculum in the economics and programming subjects, this will help spark the interest of students who are interested in blockchain development.
there were project dedicating itself to bring their tokens into the education system like the bitjob (STU) which i think had already collaborate with colleges and universities.

I have started seeing lots of courses that is being taken by many colleges and even given certificates in the blockchain studies generally and since cryptocurrency is a product of blockchain, they must surely teach a section of it, so as blockchain is being taught, crypto is also become a part of the future of the newer generation, we may not see the big adoption of crypto that we want in our own generation.

I believe that in future generation, everything about payment will all be in form of cryptocurrency, and before then also, we will see many schools accepting the use of bitcoin as payment. There is this country that has already legalizes the use of bitcoin as payment of salaries which does not exclude the lecturers that we have in those school, so this is how it will all begin.

Have been looking around to find a PhD scholarship in Chemical engineering related field. However, I am very overwhelm to see that many universities especially in Europe are offering scholarship for blockchain related field. Most importantly, Denmark. Sweden and Switzerland. Hopefully, we shall see more of the adoption in Australia and America. Africa is lagging behind a lot as no institutions I know that give blockchain a hedge  but all the same, it means crypto adoption is getting more interesting

[Strufmbae]

the decision has been made it is now or never.
 clearly insignificant to students with no entrepreneurial mind.
 this can be a good result to tech savy future.
 politicians are still way to doubtful, they think that it is useless, they can not see the outcome until the right time comes to be revealed that digital asset is the most powerful investment.

This year came to see more universities and private institutions starting separate courses for blockchain technology. Particularly this was found much in Philippines. Here is a link on the same news that gives clear information regarding the blockchain technology going mainstream on Philippines universities. http://fintechnews.sg/28519/blockchain/blockchain-education-philippines-courses/
