Universities and business schools are attacked from two sides: on the one hand, the population of students and growing interest in the cryptocurrency, the other successful companies are concerned about finding the specialists in new technologies that underlie the world's most popular cryptocurrency – Bitcoin.
Lecturer at the University of California at Berkeley, Greg La Blanc, told the news Agency France Presse about the technologies that underpin Bitcoin:
"We believe that in the near future the blockchain will have a huge impact on the conclusion of contracts, logistics and supply chain, healthcare, public administration, assets, property, transactions. When people think of the blockchain, they think of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin”.
Next semester, the school of business. Haas opens first course on software development for the blockchain. It is expected to recruit 60 students from faculties of business, programmers and rights, and to divide them into groups of six people to explore the possibility of applying the technology in practice.
"Initially, the blockchain was developed as a method of accounting for Bitcoin", explains Mr. Olinga. “The blockchain is almost a slogan. Some people think that the more they ask you the severity of such expressions as "technology "blockchain"," the more it becomes interesting for the audience, but they don't understand how in the real world do not have enough knowledge about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies".
This brand new area for business students, and many changes in management and markets related to Bitcoin. According to AFP, ”students who want to work in the financial industries must learn the technology of the blockchain, while bankers need to understand the algorithms and to have lots of data to increase opportunities to attract new clients and development of strategies for rapidly changing markets.”
Lecturer at Yale school of management Stephen Daffron claims that if students “don't understand how to evaluate a company that is trying to use the blockchain, they are not well prepared for work in financial and trading companies.”
