My question is... Why marketing? I would think that cryptocurrencies would be far more at home in an economics or computer science course. Even politics I could understand. I'm not sure how much marketing has to do with Bitcoin's success though... I think it has more to do with the brilliance of the blockchain being secured by a hashing function.
Maybe he comes from a company where the person works as a marketing manager, business analyst, financial advisor, cleaner and baker at the same time.
Cryptocurrencies have nothing to do with marketing. Maybe one would use bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, blockchain and some other words to gain attention from the audience but this can be taught from general widespread information.
Basics of cryptocurrencies, finances and economics should be taught at schools but the problem is:
1. No one is gonna do that
2. Teachers should be unbiased and open-minded.
I plan to get a master's degree in Finance but then I sit and think:
1. Do I like math that much?
2. Does it worth it to get into a university that only teaches you old-school finance and doesn't go deep into cryptocurrencies?
