A university in Spain has now launched a master's degree to teach Bitcoin

[Just Say]

Literally a few days ago we noticed that Scottish schools were accepting Bitcoin for payment but currently Spain's Hesperides University has introduced a master's degree. In fact the main purpose behind launching this degree is to teach about Bitcoin. As far as I know, the program that the university has undertaken will allow students to learn about the history of Bitcoin, BTC philosophy and its economic impact, etc.
The program director there said that,

This program is intended to close that gap and train professionals who will engage with Bitcoin knowledgeably and responsibly.

This is the first time a university has taken this initiative.

Good initiative! A lot of people actually struggle to understand the nuances of Bitcoin and the related things. At least one university is taking initiative to bridge that gap. I wholeheartedly welcome this.

However, the crypto ecosystem is much larger than Bitcoin and brimming with new technologies. We have many different kinds of chains in the market. So in order to understand the crypto ecosystem better, people need to focus beyond Bitcoin. I hope this university has a plan to offer such knowledge in the future.

I like the fact that it's bitcoin centred not Blockchain as other universities integrates from bitcoin as a bait word to teaching how to create shitcoins etc.

However, do I need to take a master course to learn all this included about bitcoin? Hell Nah! all

All the listed agenda or course outlines are what exactly I have been gathering from this forum with just mere engagement not even full time engagement yet I'm learning everything they want to teach in a masterclass or degree. lol

IMHO, bitcoin knowledge is everywhere! just have to make time to learn, unlearn and re-learn.

I don't think this is anything new that is really surprising. Long before I read the news you quoted, I had read online about several other top universities also offering some kind of courses, master's degrees, or certification programs. I really don't remember when and where I last read it, but given the continuous development of technology and the crypto industry, many universities will be actively involved in offering programs related to it.

You may be right, the master's degree program is the first of its kind in Spain, but in other countries it may have existed before. However, the initiative of the University should be appreciated because with it the crypto industry is getting more famous and getting more attention from young man as the next generation.

Definitely, launching a master's degree for bitcoin is just for formality because what is even there to teach and learn when you can get the right knowledge you want in the forum here. Over here, everything we need to know about bitcoin is here for free by knowledgeable forum users. That notwithstanding, since it's not everyone that is aware of a forum like this that discusses anything pertaining bitcoin to the core, anyone can still study about bitcoin in the University, but studying about bitcoin should be accompanied by investing in it as well because it will be unwise to finish a course about bitcoin before investing. Bitcoin doesn't even need much study because it's a wild subject that we keep learning as time goes on. Just invest and learn along.

I'm not saying that this is something new that will surprise everyone but it will definitely be surprising for students in Spain. Because those university students will be able to easily learn about Bitcoin through their master's degree. You are right that we have noticed before that many schools, colleges and universities are trying to educate about cryptocurrencies and blockchain.
However it is true that the spain Hesperides University has taken the initiative to introduce that master's degree in Spanish for the first time.

Check out this list of the 25 best universities for studying cryptocurrency, you've probably read about these online before.

Cryptocurrency and blockchain are becoming household terms in today's world. Top universities around the world are now integrating cryptocurrency and blockchain technology into the campus experience. If you're curious about where cryptocurrency and blockchain enthusiasts study, we've uncovered the top 25 best universities to study this exciting new field.

Indeed Spain is crypto friendly state.
The state has promoted the activities of blockchain and crypto trading and exchange.
Having a Bitcoin Master's Degree programme in her University would further foster the promotion of crypto space.

Even at their level of crypto participation, many may still wonder the misery and legitimacy of crypto currency, but having a university programme would reduce the doubt and increase the confidence of the less informed about crypto trading.

It would also make many of little knowledge within and outside Spain to study more and participate more in the crypto Sphere.

Yes I agree, its great that the course is Bitcoin specific rather than Blockchain
which would also include $hitcoins.

If you learn about Bitcoin you will understand $hitcoins too.

Yea of course information about Bitcoin is freely available and learning from
the forum doesnt give you a qualification! and in most cases top jobs require
higher qualifications.

It might not be new news because other schools in other countries have started offering thesame course. But we have to celebrate any good news we come across about Bitcoin awareness. The university might be using it as a means to attract young students and make money from tuition fees. But it is good for Bitcoin awareness and adoption. Early adopters wouldn't believe that a time will come when. Bitcoin will be part of the curriculum of a higher institution.

I don't know if they will accept Bitcoin as tuition fees, and it will be good to know the course content of this postgraduate program. Am also thinking about the career pathways of graduates of this program. I would have to do more research.

This is indeed a good initiative, although I do not think it is actually the first. There are already many universities that offer Bitcoin-related courses. You can do your research to see for yourself.

Just yesterday, I read a post from @Queentoshi, who raised a topic about introducing trading (crypto) as a subject in schools. Many of the reactions in the thread were focused on how risky crypto is. Risks or no risks, the essence of teaching those courses is to give people the idea of what it is and how to manage the risks involved.

As I mentioned in that thread, Bitcoin courses or subjects will soon be introduced at various academic levels. Bitcoin will become a household name, and we cannot change that. It is only a matter of time before we get there.

[moneystery]

it is great news that more and more universities are aware of bitcoin and want to open up opportunities to learn more about it to more students. what hesperides university is doing is worth appreciating since not many universities want to open classes about bitcoin to students who want to learn about it. and this is a good thing for students who want to learn or have a career with bitcoin because they can learn a lot about bitcoin 100%, not other things. hopefully with this it can spread knowledge about bitcoin to more people and be a motivation for other universities to dig deeper into the potential of bitcoin.

This is a good impression toward having bitcoin been taught in higher institutions advanced level, we can now see how people and institutions are keeping to the adoption of bitcoin and also interested learning and teaching this same digital currency, just as we have with El-Salvador teaching its citizen about bitcoin and many are being enlightened at the cause, which is why bitcoin is more important to have being taught in the educational settings because everyone needs to have more information about how they can use and apply it to their own benefits.

[CryptSafe]

I am not surprised by such a piece of news because I have long envisaged all these to happen in the future, and here we are seeing it begin to take shape effectively in a country. Well, they might likely not be the first, there might just be other schools offering such courses, but on a low-key waiting for who would first go publicly to make an announcement to create awareness, so they could follow up and take the position as the first school to inculcate bitcoin studies in their curriculum. I would also not be surprised to see a massive acceptance of Bitcoin courses in schools any time soon because it is a technology and an industry on its own. But it would be nice if they also started with undergraduate courses in blockchain technology so that students would also have more ideas about bitcoin before getting to master's levels, which would set a foundation on which they would stand.

Apart from the awareness and publicity that this development is going to bring for Bitcoin, there's no too much advantage why someone have to pay so much money at the university to acquire Bitcoin knowledge while there are so many complete free Bitcoin information in so many website.
    If someone wants to learn about Bitcoin and they download a complete Bitcoin PDFs and visit websites that has enough Bitcoin information, with 6 -12  months dedication of continuous learning from those PDFs and website, the person will have a rich and complex knowledge about Bitcoin, the money that the person is going spend is just to pay for WiFi subscription to be able to browse all the required data.

As far as I know, the program that the university has undertaken will allow students to learn about the history of Bitcoin, BTC philosophy and its economic impact, etc.

I like institutions that are innovative and do not wait to try out new things.
I wish the program includes subjects like bitcoin trading as well because it is related to bitcoin, a means to earn from bitcoins and something people will be very interested in too. They could attract local and international students with that inclusion.

[Callido]

It's a welcome development, we love to see things like this going on in the community. Bitcoin being taught is a nice way to prepare infants to get a role in Bitcoin adoption leaning to create a better space than those who complain about Bitcoin generosity when the price begins to drop.

I'm concerned if they will also teach everything concerning the technical aspect of Bitcoin and would trading aspect be included because they may try to cover up every aspect you can earn from Bitcoin, either by Bitcoin investment and possibly trading.

Government are beginning to windening up their Bitcoin scope since, their have realized Bitcoin importance to the financial system as an alternative assets and currency, a lot of those academic institutions have always been very positive with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, but the fact that some countries have blacklisted and banned Bitcoin it has limited the scope of adoption of Bitcoin by accedemic institutions, but now with United State taking the lead Spain will definitely take step to also get into the scope and making it a course of study in the institutions of learning Is a highly welcomed development.

[Z-tight]

Is there anything one can do with a Master's in BTC, i don't think there is any job opening that requires this, even if it is a BTC or crypto related job.

In my opinion, i don't see the need of going to the university to study BTC, you can learn everything you need to know about BTC in this forum and through reading BTC articles and books online, i think it is better to do that and then pay for a Master's in something different, something you can actually use in real life.

[Natalim]

This is another achievement for bitcoin, offering a 10-month fully online master’s degree to all professionals who want to be educated formally about bitcoin and all its stuff. The good thing about this, this is not just limited only for Spanish people but certainly even from other countries and races, which I think is a very great step for bitcoin’s global adoption. Soon those neighboring countries will also follow the same path, and I won’t be surprised about it.

[Frankolala]

El Salvador has been in this practice for quite sometimes now. It's good to see that more schools are adding bitcoin to be a course or part of their school curriculum because bitcoin is for this new generation and they need to get it right for preservation of the network. Fiat and every asset related to fiat has suffered from inflation due to government manipulation.
