At zhejiang university in China, the block chain course will also be carried out, and the computer science and technology institute has established the block chain research center.

But students are not encouraged to invest in digital encryption money!

I'm not as pessimistic towards it as other people. Crypto is already starting to gain relevance, so it's not surprise at all for me that it's starting to rack up interest in the academia. These schools in particular are very reputable, and they're so strict with their admissions that it's hard to accuse them of simply cash grabbing.

If people are interested as to what might be taught in such classes, Princeton has a free online course in Coursera. The syllabus is available for viewing, and I've seen some materials relating to the course floating (illegally?) around the internet.
This is one of the best news that we have on this forum. As you have said, these are reputed universities and colleges over the world and whatever they have devised for their students related syllabus and activities that comes after big research and industrial demand. Bitcoins are amazing too and they might got the intense need of time for the bitcoins to be taught to students.

Well that's not only the university of Stanford that's been doing this there are many more institutions that are providing workshops for cryptocurrencies related stuff and giving suitable certificates to the people who are attending it .
That's showing how bitcoins is been accepted both professionally and educationally, Stanford is a big name and I think this will help tighten the grip of cryptocurrencies over the market.
All of those schools and stuff are happening somewhere overboard. I didn't hear nothing like this inside of my country (Serbia). Well, that fact that crypto got involved into educational process means that crypto currencies and everything about it were admitted as payment tool or progressive technology which is entering our life to stay for long.

I do not know why the Department of Economics/Business will study the Cryptocurrency, although it is a technology closer to the computer and programming.
Personally I do not believe in the role of Cryptocurrency economically and I do not think it will be possible to study or evaluate them based on the laws of economics and business administration(no one can Predicts it).
It is best to teach the Blockchain and the programming languages built on it(how to build tokens/coins, reading source codes and Enhanced protection).
Well bitcoin is a currency, and while bitcoin was created using code instead of mining the earth or by printing, the function of bitcoin is supposed to compete against those two forms of currency, so to me it makes sense that we analyzed it from that point of view, maybe bitcoin is never going to realize some of our wildest dreams of becoming the currency of the world, but I have no doubt that it's going to become relevant in the future and it is important that is studied from that point of view as well so we understand better the ramifications of a currency like bitcoin.

I wonder what will happen to those courses once the cryptocurrency hype dies down. I can only imagine people with degrees in "cryptocurrency" would be hard-pressed for anything other than finance-related jobs. I wonder if that news article is even real in the first place. Too much fake news has been going around online..

I can’t imagine cryptocurrency will die, and if you look at this scenerario why it is being offered in a University is really interesting. I know this is just a preparation for a brighter future of cryptocurrency and if this is true for sure many people enrol on that course because they see a big potential on this kind of market.

Stanford Graduate School of Business, Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business are expanding classes in digital currency and blockchain, CNBC reported.

Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business is offering a full-time cryptocurrency course, and is scheduled to begin next month.

Because it is being done by the business school, it will probably focus on the ecoomics aspects, as opposed to teh technical coding aspects of cryptocurrency.

Wow. Just wow. I would have never even thought of this happening in a small business school 2 years ago, let alone in Stanford University.

I'm unsure of what the content is going to be about, but obviously it's going to be circling around economics. The more people that can fully understand the economic implications of bitcoin, the better. Bitcoin is really going mainstream in recent days with so many institutions starting to look at bitcoin seriously, including schools it seems.

It would be pointless for bitcoin to exist if there wasn't economic benefits to it. So you're wrong on that for sure.

The revolution will be monetized!


Over the last decade, there have been many colleges and universities who have been caught approaching homeless people on the street and signing them up for educational government assistance (aka: "state funded student loans")...

What, lol. That is utter nonsense.  Cheesy

There are many universities selling straight pseudo-scams

Merited for that.

Over the last decade, there have been many colleges and universities who have been caught approaching homeless people on the street and signing them up for educational government assistance (aka: "state funded student loans"). This isn't done out of the kindness of their heart, its done to prey upon homeless and saddle them with mountains of debt they could never repay, in order to profit off of additional taxpayer funding under circumstances where those enrolled are very unlikely to learn anything of value which helps them or gives them a better future. There have also been cases where students have enrolled in programs which cost in excess of $50,000 that teach no useful skills and were zero help in students obtaining a job in their chosen career path.

Unfortunately, "higher education" has often devolved into a money making scheme where zero information or skills of value can be learned, while students take on extreme levels of debt proportional to their future projections for wages.

It is possible this "blockchain business course" won't amount to much. It could be a liberal arts equivalent to learning about bitcoin and a complete waste of money. Its always nice to hear about bitcoin and crypto currencies gaining ground and being more widely supported but it might not be an exaggeration to think that maybe ICO scams have their equivalent in higher education, here.

Indeed, the scams in the education field is almost as high as the ICO field unfortunately, but some are legit, for example, this blockchain programing course directed by Jimmy Song:

http://programmingblockchain.com/

The contents seem very on-point and technical, so basically very useful stuff in there:

Learn the ins and outs of blockchain development in this interactive 2-day seminar. You will learn the details of how Bitcoin works including live coding challenges to sharpen your skills. You will learn:

    Finite Fields
    Elliptic Curves
    Elliptic Curve Cryptography
    Signing/Verifying Messages
    Parsing Transactions
    Signing Transactions
    Creating Transactions
    Script parsing and processing
    Address construction/Private Key WIF Format Construction
    Parsing Blocks
    Validating Proof-of-Work
    Difficulty Calculations
    Merkle Tree Construction
    Merkle Proofs
    Network Message Parsing
    Segwit
    Finding a job in Bitcoin Development


Probably overpriced for a 2 day course, but assuming you have some notions, it would be 2 very productive days. If you cannot afford it, just look at the contents on that course and search stuff for free related to these sections on the net.

It is good news for the people who living in U.S .As you told 50 people are in waiting list.Then they have to wait for the next university start studies about this crypto currency or wait to join for the next batch in same university.All this happen by the growth of bitcoin.This will increase the price of bitcoin ofcourse and the investors in crypto currency.

Thats a good step forward but unfortunately I am wondering why the computer field is not taking the part into this program. I mean coding is very much important aspect as compared to the economic studies for now. What I mean is simple fact, if you dont get the developments done in the crypto currencies then you dont get back the full working model for the same. Bitcoin is sensitive matter for now in terms of its scalability issues, mining difficulties and much more. All these things have to be cleared in the long run to catch good economic back bone and then whatever they study afterwards would be very interesting! I mean its really good that at leats they have started with something but for future purpose we need to fill the gaps.
Stanford university business full time cryptocurrency course is an easy and economic way to learn more about the technology and the tricks to use upon entering the market. This is like any other online course offered by edX or coursera and in my opinion; every one who thinks of going for this business should enroll in the courses. The more people know about the advantages of the technology, the more they invest and the more the prices will rise.

Great, it always is good to see new programs come up to educate people about bitcoin.

I agree with your statement that it's more likely going to be about the economic aspects rather than the technical side of bitcoin. Still though, it will be extremely beneficial if they are able to give an unbiased assessment of the breakdown of a decentralized payment system, such like bitcoin, brings to the table.

I'm not as pessimistic towards it as other people. Crypto is already starting to gain relevance, so it's not surprise at all for me that it's starting to rack up interest in the academia.

Yep. You don't need to take a full time course to become an expert at crypto or even start investing. But this university offering BTC just shows how BTC has started to go mainstream already.

You're wrong. Crypto-currencies have more to do with economic laws than Fiat. The volatility of the cryptocurrency is the natural reaction of the currency to the changing economic situation. For this reason, the cryptocurrency economy is impossible crisis. Fiat keep in balance artificially so the crisis is a pattern Fiat economy.

I don't agree in the slightest. It is like saying that the functioning of economics, finance, etc., aka FIAT money, should be studied in a course of machine enjineering since the printers which print paper money require enjineers to be built. And since nowadays money is anyway in most cases just a number in a computer, economics should also be studies in the faculties of Informatics.

I heard it some days before writing on this thread as the by this thread CNBC reports say that Harvard and Stanford and many more other universities and colleges are now studying Bitcoin courses on a large scale because the only thing and reason they are doing so is the high economic stability and to be the top number one rank of the global market.

Bitcoin helps grow the economy of a country by saving the cost of paper manufacturing and printing and cleaning of notes. It boosted up the economy by giving a huge profit after the jump of Bitcoin after some time.
They should also tackle about what blockchain can be used for, IMO they will be closer to being number one by doing so. I think they really need to study also the technical side of crypto in order for their students to be truly job ready deal with the crypto career for real in the future. Without knowledge of the tech, how can they use what they have studied and apply it? They would only end up as blabbermouths if they only learned it's economic aspects like what other economic experts do today.

I am very glad that cryptocurrency is increasingly accepted and recognized by all walks of life, and even educational channels have deepened and taught more about this cryptocurrency, such as the university Stanford Graduate School of Business, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and Georgetown University's, these universities are well-known and well-known institutions around the world, hopefully the future will be more successful and we are moving in the world of cryptocurrency is increasingly victorious, amen

Where are those people who are looking for crypto course, sadly this isn't an online course.

I wonder what will happen to those courses once the cryptocurrency hype dies down.
It will remain and crypto's are here to stay so don't think that "hype" will die. I wonder why you are thinking this in negative way.

I wonder if that news article is even real in the first place. Too much fake news has been going around online..
You can verify if by yourself if you wish to know if it's real or not, be resourceful.
