I tried to see if this was the first time bitcoin cropped-up on a university admission exam there, but that task is more suited for someone local really.
This is not the first time. If I'm correct before pandemic, there was a question like this on University examination. Other than that, I had participated in one job examination where I got the same question almost, "from below, which one is a cryptocurrency?". And the answer was bitcoin with some more option.
This is not something important I think. Well the press conference of Zunayed Ahmed Polok was important one. He was mentioning about state mining too in that conference. That was a positive sign.
Apart from this, I have read few thesis of some popular University on cryptocurrency and blockchain, specially on the possibility of how smart contract and decentralized finance (DeFi) can be used to minimize the cost and have an balanced economy. Though this are mostly based on Ethereum chain, the introductory was almost made of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto and blockchain.
There's no visible progress from govt part. Central Bank is still considering bitcoin as a currency of dark web. I have read the last monthly magazine of Bangladesh Bank, I got it from one of my friend.
If we consider overall progress toward decentralized currency or cryptocurrency, I think it's good enough. We are not very far but I wouldnt be disappointed by having huge expectation
