Business School of the University of Oxford: the Blockchain Revolution is Yet to Come

The business school of the University of Oxford has decided to extend its online courses in order to include blockchain and other financial technologies. The decision came shortly after the boom in bank closures last year that had led to the reduction of traditional job positions.

According to one of the world largest freelancing platforms, Upwork, Blockchain is the second most popular occupation for freelancers. Simultaneously, the demand for blockchain technologists is steadily growing with more than 2,500 job offers on AngelList alone. Representatives of around 70 different countries already joined the February group of the Oxford Blockchain Strategy Programme.

I do not want to think that majority of educators are only rooting for the blockchain technology, leaving behind Bitcoin that pioneered it. I just hope time will not come whereby these educators will create something better than Bitcoin, making the latter lose its pace in the market of cryptocurrencies. If this will be the case, I think governments would have to use iron hands to HALT all cryptocurrencies that have caused the plague in the economy. We have to admit that cryptocurrencies contributed greatly to the world economy by means of increasing the spending power of people. Because of these, trade and commerce have become possible across borders in a fast and efficient manner. Just looking at the market index, governments surely have an idea how large the crypto market has grown through the assessment of its transactions. Hence from here, they can deduce the affected population of the plausible downfall of cryptocurrencies.

It sounds like a good idea, but I don't see anything about it other than trying to create a business project using hype. It seems to me that Oxford University could establish their own business unit which will develop projects based on blockchain and cook at home professionals. You can pay for such training at the expense of profits from the implementation of their projects. But that doesn't happen.
