Hi guys. I would like to share some public information about my plans and want to know your opinion. I'm going to open an education business related to bitcoins. This business will be traditional where you have to visit classes, pass tests/exams and receive a proof that you've completed a certain course, maybe get some license or any other document issued by us. Some courses will be offered for free worldwide and have promotional purposes. Most courses last from 1 to 3 months and give a very deep knowledge of a particular topic related to bitcoin. The courses will be offered to: - Businesses that want to start accepting bitcoin, or simply a better understanding of the process how it works for commercial purposes; - Individuals, newcomers or for advanced users who want to learn more; - Investors and analysts to assess the risk and opportunity analysis of investments in crypto currencies; - Developers and coders/programmers to study the open source code and understand how things work "inside" as well as working on their own independent projects with our support; - For kids under 18 years (summer camps) for basic introduction to bitcoin with some game elements and other activities that kids/teenagers like to do.
I think everyone will agree that the growing interest in bitcoin and online resources such as Khan Academy, Udemy, Bitcoin Education Project, give only basic one-sided ONLINE knowledge. My goal is a global teaching of those who have just heard, had already begun to use or even an experienced user of bitcoins for a more rapid adaptation of crypto currencies around the world and in building offline community, where people can learn together in the real world.
I plan to have educational centers in 10 places worldwide:
North America New York (where I live right now) Miami Los Angeles Vancouver
South America: Buenos Aires
Europe: London Madrid Ljubljana
Asia: Hong Kong
Australia: Sydney
Of course I can not achieve these goals alone or with a small team. I need to find teachers, find decent places in cities listed above, create plans/schedules for each course and much more. That's why I'm looking for people who have connections with education, developers and other enthusiasts or simply want to help us with something else (say you have connections in real estate in Madrid). At the moment I'm building a team, working with numbers and do some research of investors and venture capitals in the USA and Canada. It's a big plus if you live in New York City because we can meet in person and build some trust right away.
Let me know what you think about this idea. Any feedback are welcome and priceless. Thanks.
