Topic: A class about Bitcoin is being taught at the university.I am an teacher on there - page 2. (Read 185 times)

Paranoid as I am, I doubt the legitimacy of this post.  To be honest with you, the picture looks as if a student opened Investopedia and asked a colleague to open up Bitcoin Talk on their forum just to take the picture.  Particularly the missing student on the first computer and that every other display is on the Desktop except these two stood out to me.

I have never seen a picture of students taken during class by the teacher that looks like this.  This looks as if the student is doing it.

Also the 90% figure which I really doubt.  Wish this was all true.  But I see so many threads here talking about teaching Bitcoin to many groups including kids that barely understand how basic things work in life.  I really hope this is not the new version of 'My really hard journey from Newbie to Full Member'.  If I am paranoid and wrong, forgive me.

As per our plan here students will be given general ideas about Bitcoin.  So that students can at least know about bitcoin, how bitcoin works, how to store it, how to protect bitcoin wallet, benefits of investing in bitcoin, what benefits can be gained by knowing about bitcoin, what are the future problems you can face if you don't know about bitcoin , What role will bitcoin play in the country's economy, is there any possibility of bitcoin harming the country, etc etc...
However, there are plans to hire 2 teachers who are experts in Bitcoin to teach about Bitcoin mining and other difficult tasks.

Anyway, I am skeptical by nature, as I am in the habit of not believing what I read in the forums at the first time. What is clear to me is that this thread is going to be full of congratulations and probably some merits.

OP, do you have any other way to prove that you are teaching Bitcoin at the university apart from those pictures? The tags on your trust page saying you probably bought the account make me more doubtful.

What do they teach? I can think of so many different levels, starting with "this is a wallet", up to the cryptography behind it. I wouldn't know where to start!
Or a more fundamental start would be explaining money. If you do a good job, you'll start a revolution (according to Henry Ford).

I got a job in a private university for about a year.  Where engineering is taught.  And I am a teacher of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE).  I had a meeting with the principal of my university a few days ago and made a proposal to teach about blockchain and Bitcoin to students . The principal asked for some time to think it over and had several meetings with other teachers on the matter. And since Bitcoin is an huge valuable and trusted Digital currency and backed by Blockchain which is a advanced technology and Bitcoin is a widely used and well-known currency in worldwide and a lot of research is going on worldwide about it. so all the teaching staff including the principal agreed to this And prepare to teach students about Blockchain and Bitcoin

As this decision is solely taken by our university itself and being a private university there is no scope for issuing any institutional certificate about bitcoin learning.  We keep it as an additional class.  We have one class on Bitcoin per week in a 2 day class routine.  Which is not compulsory for any student.  Any student may or may not take this class if they wish. But I was surprised to see that almost 90% of the students expressed interest in doing the Bitcoin class. And since I have been in this forum for a long time and this forum has all kinds of information about Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency, I took the initiative to introduce students to this forum as well. Also our teaching staff has been asked to study more about Bitcoin and are in the process of hiring at least 2 teachers who are very knowledgeable about Bitcoin and blockchain technology

I myself took my first class on bitcoin today in our university and firstly gave some idea to all the students about this forum because this forum is a good source to get good knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. And I am very happy today to be able to implement such a goal in my university.
