While i have small doubt about what topic will they teach on cryptocurrency PhD program, it's good to see actual Bitcoin usage as currency/payment method.

I wonder if it'll be focused on technology, economy or spread evenly.

Great News and it do proves out that there would really be having these institutions that do consider on adopting crypto-currency.Hopefully it would widespread like wildfire and might interest other universities as well.It can open up new gateways for students to discover about blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies.Ill be excited on what university would do the same step.

Love it! This is the content that is actually good for bitcoin.

Not FUD, or investment articles showcasing the ways you can profit off buying BTC, but more coverage showcasing big companies utilizing bitcoin as a payment option, which will promote mainstream adoption for it. Australia has been fairly accepting of crypto in recent years with their market reforms and removal of double taxation, but the government is still tightening regulations, mostly with taxation and the OTC trades related to bitcoin.

I would like to see the possible courses that would be able to be learned in college and university. I could see a lot of blockchain courses that teach people how to build and work on blockchains become a thing.

It is good news and represents a bright face for the university away from linking these cryptocurrencies "that technology taught by university" and dark activities (drugs & weapons.)
The part that I liked "if the news is true" is that they accept payment in BTC Ð, not through a party that accepts these currencies and then exchange their value to the US dollar to avoid volatility.
Also, teaching Blockchain technology will enhance the uses of this technology in the future.

Another good news, but isn't very surprising for that news because Australia is one mof the most country accept and treat it as real money.
Australia government know the importance of bitcoin as digital currency, Australia they practice the benefits of bitcoin for the convinient of the user for fast transactions use por payment method or to buy good using crypto.
