When you talk about the future of Bitcoin, you are talking about the whole context. And it cannot be represented by one particular institution. Bitcoin is vast and can be owned by any individual without meddling in Brooklyn affairs. How will the bitcoin academic launch in Brooklyn affect Bitcoin's future at large?
Ideally, that's what we hope for, for every country to have an awareness of curriculum-based education that provides a portion of Bitcoin learning. But you need to know, each country has its own educational principles that are tailored to the needs and goals of achieving education in that country. When the understanding portion of the intellectual community has no interest in Bitcoin, it will be useless if what was done in Brooklyn is implemented in other countries.

The founder of financial tech company Block Inc., Jack Dorsey announced he is collaborating with the rapper Jay-Z by launching a Bitcoin Academy in Brooklyn. The Bitcoin Academy’s mission aims to empower and provide education to the region. The project’s website further details that residents of Marcy House, located in Brooklyn, New York will be eligible for free courses and other benefits like internet data plans.
I think this is the motivation we need to help create awareness in their various countries and educate our people on the benefits of cryptocurrencies.

I think there are already very different ways for interested people to learn about cryptocurrency. All you need to do is show interest and a desire to learn.

It's a very small step in the right direction. However I think that a more general financial training center, maybe with bitcoin playing a bigger part of the curriculum, would be more beneficial for the people who might be attending. It takes money to make money sort of thing, what good is bitcoin education if you do not have the foundational blocks of training in all kinds of other finances. There are many ways to lose money in the world which people need to be aware of and it might not always be taught well at school.
It's obviously not logical to teach a course without showing or illustrating how it can be applied in the real world.

"Jack Dorsey and Jay-Z Launch Bitcoin Academy" That's cute!!! Although this name is ambiguous and I do not know what exactly they teach, but in my opinion this is good, it is good that famous people like Jack Dorsey and Jay-Z teach Bitcoin because people are very influenced by famous personalities in society, despite some skeptics who say that the two men They seek to get money through the academy, but this does not matter because the most important thing is to spread the knowledge about Bitcoin in the community.

Rather educate people on the wider scope that is economics (that crypto is a part of), they choose to set up something that you would allready have to know about to to even consider participating. But ok, there are positives to this and this is a praiseworthy project, but we also need to chill abit with all this talk that we 'must educate the masses on this secrete knowlage, because without it, they are but sheep led...'. Crypto is starting to sound like a religion and people take on themselves to propagate the gospel without taking into account that crypto tech as well as it's philosophy has not yet evolved to the point where such widespread addoption could and should be done. I don't know why the notion of gradual and natural evoulution has been thrown out the window and in a decade we have gone from the crypto stone age to people shooting lazers from their eyes...

That's a good news for the community as this means wider Availability of knowledge among people. Also this will make the knowledge in cryptospace slightly more organized and institutionalized. Till now the knowledge has only been in informal way. This will obviously bring in good projects which provide better solutions using the blochchain technology as a whole I think this is the motivation we need to help create awareness in their various countries and educate our people on the benefits of cryptocurrencies.

I will say this is adding to the adoption process which is good, it will contributes to helping people knowing about bitcoin, the bitcoin wallet and everything needed to know to make and receive bitcoin transaction. If some people are knowing about bitcoin already and telling others as well as helping them, the more the adoption in my opinion.
June 11, 2022, 12:55:26 AM
The bitcoin future is not dependent on any single entity giving out teaching lessons to masses about btc.The world is itself realising the importance of btc with many adopting it and others who fear it try to snub it without any end results.
There are lot of books available regarding bitcoin so do they influence the btc future ahead on the global level? No single institution have that control over Bitcoin so that's all bullshit on which we should not focus.

Lol. Silly title op. You do realise that NY is anti-crypto, don't you? They recently announced some sort of mining ban too. This particular scheme is just designed to help idiots like Jay Z and Dorsey get richer and richer basically.
Crap like this won't help BTC and the cryptocurrency market in the long-term. My advice for you is to stop being so naive op.

How it can be said as a future while it's just only for a one region? moreover Bitcoin academy or course isn't nothing new anymore, many university already add cryptocurrency as a subject especially on the economic or digital related degree. Some country who already accept Bitcoin as a legal tender e.g. El Salvador and Central African Republic are really the future of Bitcoin since it's prove Bitcoin can be used as a currency.

Binance already made that and is accessible online.
I don't know how this will end but whenever such news that related to the adoption of bitcoin, it's positive to me and to the others I guess. We already know that Jack has been on the crypto and is positive with its future and potential.
This is just like walking the talk to support what he's said before.

Idk the topic of Bitcoin only seems kind of, small-ish? If you consider the amount of information behind it. It may not even fill a one-year course for it, except maybe if you added lessons not only about Bitcoin but also about the basics of economics, finance, and stuff like that. Though in that case, it'd be more of a finance-centered course and Bitcoin would be like a subcourse included in it. It feels more like a series of seminars and talks rather than a class though. Might just be me.
I'm hopeful they add about the coding and development of the backend part though.

On another note — while this is getting positive attention from the Bitcoin/crypto community, a lot of the masses are definitely not happy with this. They're so mad as if Jay-Z and Dorsey are asking money for this. https://twitter.com/sc/status/1534921133199347712
There will be a side story for every things, the opposites and those who agree.I have some concerns about the said academy;
Now, that's a bit advance claim, let them do it first before saying anything. Those who founded the academe knows a lot why their doing it, and they know how hype and negative things can affect someone business in crypto.- What will they teach in the academy? Will they teach the original purpose and concept of bitcoin. Or they will rather use it to promote their personal brand and in the end it will become an investment scheme. We have seen similar academies that didn't live upto expectations.
- Who are the teachers or resource persons.
Like any other academy you cant just hire someone who doesnt have any firm knowledge on what the academe stand for and what are subjects need to teach. This is not just a blog written by an amateur writer who was paid to write words about how-tos and whatnot.
In the grand scheme of things, it won't change much. You'd need thousands of Bitcoin academies across the world to improve Bitcoin education globally. And even then, it's not guaranteed to be a major success. It's not like there's a lot of people who want to learn about Bitcoin but can't - all the information is available on the Internet for free.
Com'on they just have their first step, why always get bitter for new things? Of course it needs lots of schools/academy to make it work, but when and how you will start? You cant just make lots of schools on your first attempt, you always need at least one to make it work.

thats why i imagine the only way a academy can even try to be successful is if the classes were about actual skills and knowledge that can be used to gain employment whereby passing the class had either atleast a guaranteed job interview with a sponsoring employer, or the certificate of completing the course had some meaning to it because it actually means people know enough to do a job in the sector. then people might be willing to take the class.
a 'participation' medal is not as meaningful as a 'top of the class' in a skilled activity medal

When something is predicted to be long lasting and has got the ability to make changes to the current system, automatically people will find way to make business out of it. One such try is the educational academy in Brooklyn by Dorsey and Jay-Z. People who are new to the market will surely think of having a course. Maybe such people can get attention towards these academy. Satoshi found a way to eliminate the intermediary involved in the financial system, and now the same is being introduced in the form of providing education at a cost.

Establishing a bitcoin academy is undoubtedly a very nice initiative and will definitely enhance bitcoin adoption in that region. But I must be honest with you, the topic seems exergerated.

- Who are the teachers or resource persons. It is better to allow someone learn something naturally than teaching the person wrong thing. It is easier to learn than to unlearn before learning. I said so because I learnt some nonsense from high profile people that claimed to be bitcoiners and when I discovered here, it took me time to unlearn those nonsense
