Hi Steemit! Starting a new crypto-currency project with our IB Economics class at Springstead High School!

This account will be the class account for our project. We will be posting class projects about different economic concepts in the areas of microeconomics, macroeconomics, development economics, and international economics. We are using Steemit to study Bitcoin and other altcoins, further analyzing the use of crypto-currency on international markets.

The 15 students involved are:
@nidolabz
@juansebastianc9
@diss0nance
@bennyandthejets
@cupofjoe3474
@cockroach
@dparker1201
@ryanbradley
@antbelas
@lesleybanh
@jpparker19
@infernodan10
@perfectcivicseoc
@iimochamanii
@jorflo

The ultimate goal is for our class to earn Steem to invest in Bitcoin and then further invest in different altcoins based on market trends. My name is Brandon Wright; I am the teacher of the class and moderator of the course page. As the 2017 Hernando County Teacher of the Year and recipient of the Governor's Shine Award for Excellence in Education, I look for every opportunity to use authentic learning experiences to help drive student learning. This project evolved from a class discussion about recent news regarding the skyrocketing value of Bitcoin. What better way to understand why this happens then to dive into the community and explore it first hand?! We look forward to the support of the Steemit community as we begin our journey into this growing medium of exchange!

Look for our future posts and we are very excited to join the community!

Hello !

Wow that's really cool! Will be looking forward to seeing what you guys can share :)

However, I'm curious to hear why you think other altcoins and bitcoins are more lucrative to hold than STEEM? Are you familiar with the upcoming Smart Media Tokens? STEEM will be a platform on which numerous new applications will be built. It's hard to want to support a project if you know their ultimate goal is to dump their rewards and pump other project.

Awesome idea! Glad to see some of the younger crowd getting involved with Steem/Steemit. I hope you’re able to learn a lot about Steem. It’s a great blockchain...much better than that Bitcoin nonsense.

Good luck to you all!

WELL done!! I wish you have lot of success!!! 👏👏👏👏 bravo!

It's a cool project, I'm excited to see where it goes from here

This is such a great project and I’m so happy to be a part of it! 😊

im so excited!

Btw @azeleastar is actually @lesleybanh. Azeleastar is her display name, our mistake!

You can edit that in the post itself

Yep I know, I just don't own the account. I've informed the owner of the account so it's up to him to change it.

fixed!

can't wait to see where this goes as a project. good luck to all the participants!

Best to luck to all of yous guys!

Make sure to keep some in STEEM which is a great investment too

@shsibecon - Hey Brandon! I really love this idea.

I wanted to pass along a quick suggestion. Be sure to set your rewards to 50%/50% for now. The reason is that a payment with half Steem Power and half SBD will be of more value than just a 100% Steem Power payout.

Take the SDB in your wallet. Then use the Market to sell the SBD for Steem. Then use Steem power and power up.

Thank you for the suggestion! Can you point me in the direction of a post or literature about how to differentiate the finer points between SBD, Steem, and Steem Power? That would be really helpful in trying to determine our class strategy in the future!

I'm so glad to be part of this great project!

welcome @shsibecon ! I am also new to the cryptocurrency world, and teach high school math and science! it's cool to see others in the education field out and about. good luck to your class!

Interesting concept and project. Will support, pretty great to have a teacher promoting active learning with something new and innovative. Will support, look forward to the post, Hi class, you got a lot to learn!

Thank you! Any advice you can share is greatly appreciated!

Just my personal preference. Save up SBD and then wait for a SBD pump and use block trades to sell them for bitcoin or whatever crypto currency you prefer that the platform supports. During this latest pump, it went up to 12 bucks so the 30 SBD I earned on this platform I actually sold for 12 times that amount and it got deposited right into my bitcoin wallet.

Hey there

Hi!

that's awesome guys! great to hear about this. I am a part of a large discord channel dedicated to steemit. If you want the invite link let me know and you can hang with us and see what we do. There are a bunch of weekly events and talks about alt coins so let me know if you'd like

We'd love to keep this stuff as personal as possible (most of us are under 18, and some have strict parents). However thank you so much for the offer!

No problem guys. Best of luck here on steemit!

This project is gonna be cool, as long as my part doesn't weigh it down! lol

Ahhhhhhhh I look so bad in that picture

This is awesome!! I wish they did something like this when I was in highschool. I'm currently a college freshman and at university cryptocurrency is really popular. When I tried to explain it to teachers in highschool though no one understood or cared haha. You seem like an awesome teacher. Congrats on the award and good luck with your project!

Thank you so much! I really owe a lot to the kids on this one! It was definitely a collaborative idea that evolved into this project!

welcome! to the steem room!

Welcome to Steemit and good luck!
