Well I find this very cool indeed, if true.  I never know what to believe with bitcoin news--it's almost like reading precious metals articles.  They all tend to hype everything up.  I'm not a programmer or anything like that, but I'm hoping people much smarter than me can utilize bitcoin and blockchain tech for everyone's good.  And Chicago's got some damn fine schools there.

It is good Jobs, introducing bitcoin and technology Blockchain to students. If it be introduced with good way to students, it will make more famous and there are many users of bitcoin in students.

I find ti hs a very good initiative as well.
150 dollar is enough money to make an effort to use it. Either way they convert it to fiat, or use it And when they use it and see there is less fees hopefully they stay onto bitcoin as users or maybe even start developing apps for bitcoin. Wouldn't that be great?

The Blockchain Education Network (BEN) has announced a Bitcoin airdrop to four Chicago Universities today. This year BEN’s “Back-to-School Blockchain Initiative” has spread to more cities than ever before to show students the power of cryptocurrency.

From the article:
Quote
"According to a recent report from the Boston Globe despite a $500,000 in Bitcoin giveaway cash and credit cards still ruled the roost on campus. The article seemed awfully bias towards downsizing the benefits of cryptocurrency education."
Who pays for this? Half a million dollars is a lot of money to give away.

$150 per person. In any currency, that is nice for students.

Hackers please hack me .... if you can :)
bitcoin.com is not that much reliable and I just googled no other news feed is covering this. Lets wait for any Chicago universities' student cum this forum member to confirm this.

I think you watch to much porn, it's not cum but come as a verb to come here in the forum as I guess that's what you mean by your last sentence of the quoted post : ). It's really good to stimulate students to use bitcoins cause maybe the next genius of cryptography is right there at any of these universities.

By the way too much porn is bad for your health Smiley .

They usually post some videos on Youtube about these Bitcoin Air drops, and I am not seeing anything. I hope this is not another BS

article being posted to hype up Bitcoin. The idea is great, because we need some younger and tech savy students to be exposed to this

new technology. If anyone can possibly post something about this, please do.  Wink

Thats a really great initiative, hopefully such things would keep growing in the world which can be a great help to bitcoin technology to spread in all the countries of the world and to be adopted by bigger resources in coming time.
