in elite •  7 years ago 

We are sure that a few weeks ago you did not know what Bitcoin or Blockchain were. Truth be told the media has done a fantastic job publishing, Spreading the news, and increase in the hype on the nine year old technology. What need to be aware of is that Universities have been teaching courses in regards to bitcoin and blockchain.
The reason this is important is for the simple fact that the financial industry has stated that bitcoin would not go anywhere for many years, that it is too volatile and that people would never stop using current FIAT aka money. This in my opinion is their strategy to keep people that cannot invest at bay, so that investors in big Wall Street can invest their money to yield high returns. Now I ask you, if millennials are being taught this at Universities around the world why wouldn't you invest? Here is a list of the top 10 World Universities teaching bitcoin and chainblock technology courses.
