Top US Colleges Begin Offering Bitcoin Courses

[novacn]

Cool, wish my college did the same  

[maurya78]

About time this happened
Knowledge of the protocol and what one can do with it has to become a part of any sensible college curriculum

[littlewizard]

This is a very good news, I hope such kind of class can spread across the world.

Two top-ranked US universities, New York University and Duke University, are offering courses on cryptocurrencies for the first time.

Professor Geoffrey Miller taught the first class of NYU’s new course, The Law and Business of Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies, yesterday. 35 students attended the session – the first in a series of 14 – which covered the fundamentals of money.

As soon bitcoin will get an institutional integration it will be accepted by the society.

Too much speculation. What if in those 35 students only 3 accepted the bitcoin concept whole heartedly. What then? In school we learn about Marx and Freud but do we practice them? No.. Maybe 2-3 students will be fascinated by their works but not all. Same goes to bitcoin.

1/2 full, 1/2 empty, you decide.

Considering global acceptance of Bitcoin is significantly lower than your rate of 3 out of 35, this could be viewed as an encouraging step.

That just means bitcoin is here to stay.

Wishing the same too. I just have to check if this is true.

There is no move for Bitcoin global acceptance. Aside from that, hoarders are here to stay too!

I am going to wait for a title that says, BITCOIN IS INTRODUCED IN SCHOOL ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Almost all schools teach ancient Roman history too but I'm pretty sure they're gone.

The University of Nicosia, Cyprus, has an online MSc in Cryptocurrencies. The first course is free.

[Peegasus]

If you want Bitcoin to succeed educate young and idealistic people.

[rockyrotcoin]

That is a great new. I hope people will continue to spread the word and be ready for the next big thing.

Bitcoin are money
Money is life
Life is knowledge
Knowledge is collage
So bitcoin is collage.
I just made it do not laugh.
Bitcoin courses may hope available in worldwide

“The course is not so much about teaching a knowledge of bitcoin, but it’s to show how some of the issues about property, finance and contracts are going to change very quickly in the next century. The technology is forcing people to reexamine long-held assumptions.”

That's the most insightful public statement about Bitcoin I've ever seen from an academic.

[littlebeetle]

College has to be where Bitcoin really starts to take off.

I heard MIT is accepting BTC in a bookstore...which other Colleges have accepted so far...
