Cryptocurrency and Blockchain are “alive and well” in Universities — they know the future
Course: https://links2exchange.net/cryptonews/cryptocurrency-and-blockchain-hugely-popular-at-universities/
Who knew that 9% of US Students have enrolled or already taken a blockchain course at University or that 26% do “plan on taking” in the near future?
The demand to learn about what is blockchain and cryptocurrency is overwhelming at leading Universities.
One good reason....JOBS.
The demand for these skill sets is growing at companies and public sector organizations look to reduce cost and improve efficiencies by implementing the block chain and smart contracts in their daily work activities.
But what is blockchain today is not blockchain for 2025. This is a very fast pace and evolving landscape. We don’t even have regualtions for use of cryptocurrencies and Universities are offering courses to get ahead of the curve.
What is the future is unclear, but Universities and Big 8 Consulting Firms see the writing on the wall. They see the advantages. They see what has already been proven in real life use cases. Kudos to the schools moving ahead with course work that will provide actual jobs.
Do you think any of these students are interested in owning cryptocurrencies?
i think the price is getting manipulated like precious metals , the fundamentals are improving but not shown on the price, doesn't make sense
Very true. Crypto’s I believe are being harvested for “if and when”. They want to control all of it. Their system or cryptos.
Good post.....Even though in India tech gaint Tech Mahindra planing to enter Blockchain area.
Recently prestigious Indian Institute of Technology partner with Ripple to accelerate innovation in Blockchain.
Yes...this is going to only become more important and necessary with time.
As as investment with little to invest, cryptos fit the bill. Most starting out can't invest in stock market or real estate.
Yes...as always..people should look to cryptos as only a percentage of their savings. Very volatile as we have seen.
Great article, @floridanow!
