If you notice. Almost all social media (influencers) are more echoed as an investment instrument. Those influencers talk more about the benefits (in terms of money) when you invest your money in the blockchain. It is very rare to talk about the benefits that will be obtained when a company/country uses blockchain technology. It is compounded by people's knowledge that blockchain = crypto. So when people talk about blockchain, first things that arise in their minds are more towards crypto as a currency rather than a technology. These benefits should be echoed more, so that people do not think that blockchain = crypto = ponzi.
i agree with that. a lot of them thought that when they are into crypto, they can get rich quick, that's the usual notion among these "influencers". but if they will educate themselves first about the real usage of blockchain technology, and go deeper than what is offered in media, they will understand that almost all types of industries need the deployment of blockchain technology to improve the way they operate and save a lot of $s.
There is no need for the application of ICO or IEO.
Specific universities that offer blockchain courses don't teach about ICO and IEO as the modern application of blockchain. I haven't taken a course but that's what I know.
Some other things are applicable to it not just crowdfunding and old projects that we know.
i dont know why the OP is mentioning the need of ICOs or IEOs in the funding of these students who are interested in this technology. i thought he's been blogging for 2 years already. so i guess up until now he still doesn't understand what blockchain technology is. he should educate himself first.
