so looking at the website

seems vague. so what exactly are they actually teaching.
EG the "what is bitcoin how it works"
is it how to use a wallet + exchange. or the coding of bitcoin
- meaning are they schooling people on how to use a website to buy bitcoin.
- or are they going to go into actual detail that can be useful information for people to maybe get detailed experience to then find employment with a blockchain employer

EG the "how it works, why you should care"
is it again using a wallet and why you should secure your wallet
- meaning basic schooling on how to save money for rainy days and not lose it through silly mistakes
- or are they going to go into deep economics theory of fiat inflation vs bitcoin deflation.

i say this because if its just a intro into how to buy bitcoin. this may not be as helpful as teaching real economics, coding and business lessons that can help people gain employment in the sector.

EG difference between telling people how to hide their excess social security/unemployment payments in bitcoin.. rather than real education of economics and business studies that can help them seek employment

i would love to see great curriculum courses that teach practical things that can be put towards experience and knowledge that can gain employment.

beyond the basics of how to install a wallet and buy coin. i would love to see this as a economics, business studies, coding/computer science courses. you know.. actual skilled education

i would also love to see this being like a entry into employment by these famous individuals as the employers, where they are seeking employee's and looking at those that pass the course as recruits into the famous peoples bitcoin operations/businesses

i hope this is not just a 15minutes of fame of name association where the only actual service provided is a day course on wallet set-up

critics happen more when the publishers are vague about detail.

EG if an article mentions famous people names multiple times, but does not even mention the lesson plan/curriculum of what people will get to learn specifically. in a topic about a school.. then ofcourse its going to leave people wondering many things.

EG lets make an imaginary article: 'housing school funded by elon musk, elong musk elon musk"

is this about teaching the homeless how to find housing, is it a school about architecture/construction of housing. is it a real estate scheme, teaching people how to invest in housing? who knows

i had a look at the bitcoin academy website. .. and not impressed.
they have a huge logo and brand lettering requiring you to scroll more then a whole screen length..
but the explanation of the class is literally a couple sentances that dont explain the class content
then its another large screen space of scrolling displaying famous names and foundations involved

so when the topic of a forum post embellishes "the future of bitcoin" (a world wide currency) but is actually about a small classroom.. in a underprivileged neighbourhood of one american city, it just leaves too much to the imagination without filling the topic with content/substance

Establishing a bitcoin academy is undoubtedly a very nice initiative and will definitely enhance bitcoin adoption in that region. But I must be honest with you, the topic seems exergerated.

I have some concerns about the said academy;

• What will they teach in the academy? Will they teach the original purpose and concept of bitcoin. Or they will rather use it to promote their personal brand and in the end it will become an investment scheme. We have seen similar academies that didn't live upto expectations.
• Who are the teachers or resource persons. It is better to allow someone learn something naturally than teaching the person wrong thing. It is easier to learn than to unlearn before learning. I said so because I learnt some nonsense from high profile people that claimed to be bitcoiners and when I discovered here, it took me time to unlearn those nonsense

In the grand scheme of things, it won't change much. You'd need thousands of Bitcoin academies across the world to improve Bitcoin education globally. And even then, it's not guaranteed to be a major success. It's not like there's a lot of people who want to learn about Bitcoin but can't - all the information is available on the Internet for free.

There will be a side story for every things, the opposites and those who agree.

Now, that's a bit advance claim, let them do it first before saying anything. Those who founded the academe knows a lot why their doing it, and they know how hype and negative things can affect someone business in crypto.

Check their website, they already have some list who have already names in the community.

Like any other academy you cant just hire someone who doesnt have any firm knowledge on what the academe stand for and what are subjects need to teach. This is not just a blog written by an amateur writer who was paid to write words about how-tos and whatnot.

Com'on they just have their first step, why always get bitter for new things? Of course it needs lots of schools/academy to make it work, but when and how you will start? You cant just make lots of schools on your first attempt, you always need at least one to make it work.

Binance already made that and is accessible online.

I don't know how this will end but whenever such news that related to the adoption of bitcoin, it's positive to me and to the others I guess. We already know that Jack has been on the crypto and is positive with its future and potential.

This is just like walking the talk to support what he's said before.

How it can be said as a future while it's just only for a one region? moreover Bitcoin academy or course isn't nothing new anymore, many university already add cryptocurrency as a subject especially on the economic or digital related degree. Some country who already accept Bitcoin as a legal tender e.g. El Salvador and Central African Republic are really the future of Bitcoin since it's prove Bitcoin can be used as a currency.

The bitcoin future is not dependent on any single entity giving out teaching lessons to masses about btc.The world is itself realising the importance of btc with many adopting it and others who fear it try to snub it without any end results.

There are lot of books available regarding bitcoin so do they influence the btc future ahead on the global level? No single institution have that control over Bitcoin so that's all bullshit on which we should not focus.
