I don't think you understood what Lucius talked about, you guys quoted all of the op when it was not necessary, there is no need to quote all of the op, if you want to reply to a part of it, cut it out and do so.
In my honest opinion, there is no need to learn about BTC from an institution and pay tuition fees, when you can learn about BTC for free on this forum, and spend your money on a Master's degree in a different field.

I laughed after reading this, it sounds funny but you could be right, the certificate might not be valid in seeking for job in any company but you never can tell if the economy of that country requires such education to be implemented. People who would do the program might not also be doing it for the sake getting employed in any company but just to gain a very adequate knowledge of Bitcoin technology, investment and risk management and security protection. So far, there's no company that is seeking to employing Bitcoin enthusiast, maybe we should expect  such new sooner.

If that is the case, then they do not need to pay tuition fee or run a Master's program to get this knowledge. Like i have already said, if the aim is to acquire all you have mentioned, then all the person needs is bitcointalk, because i got all of that knowledge here in bitcointalk, and then if you want to go for Master's, do it in something you can use in real life.

If you actually think that studying Bitcoin as a Master's Degree is a waste of the students funds and time, it then means that your knowledge about Bitcoin and the predicted future of Bitcoin is very limited. Of course the University is going to earn money from the students but studying Bitcoin as a post-graduate course will of course expose the students to learning the deep mysteries of the most successful coin in existence and because we all know that Bitcoin is now getting global recognition and adoption, people in the nearest future will be paying huge amounts just to learn Bitcoin and for  people that studied it in the tertiary institution, they'll have the opportunity of monetizing their knowledge by charging fees from interested people.

Great to see academia championing the educational part of this movement.  we need more of them. This part of the movement is loaded with unethical and unqualified individuals who mostly know not what they are talking about, more about content creation than knowledge transfer 

I appreciate your opinion. It is better to do a Masters in AI than Bitcoin, doing a Masters in AI will save you money and you will get a new interesting degree and job oriented education. The current AI revolution and in the next five to ten years it will spread widely in every industry sector. There will be no field where it will not be used, so I think it would be better to do a course on AI instead of a Masters degree course on Bitcoin in the university. There is no point in spending money on what we can learn for free on this forum.

This is the first time that I am hearing that a university is offering Bitcoin as a course although I am also hearing in on this thread that they are not the first, other universities have been offering Bitcoin related programs. I think that it is a step in the right direction to add Bitcoin in academics, it will further give value to it's adoption. I assume that most things that will be taught in the Spanish university in the Bitcoin course are what we discuss here in this forum everyday, this will make most of us to value this forum more. Because we are getting Bitcoin knowledge for free in this forum should not make us to think that it is a waste of time and money to learn them in an institution.

Nice reading this here. People do not really know what they are gaining here by virtue of being a member of this platform. This platform is a citadel of Bitcoin and blockchain education. If one is devoted to learning about Bitcoin, they can reserve their money and resources to go to school just to learn about Bitcoin from the basics, but when it comes to advanced research and other in-depth knowledge with respect to academics and further advanced development, it is alright because there would be academic publications and vetting would be done by learned scholars who has been in the field for a long time. For the fact that this platform was founded by Satoshi himself, it is enough for anyone to learn about Bitcoin because he dropped major information about Bitcoin here, which we can get the links and read deeply into his discovery, and have more insight about the reasons why he came up with the discovery of Bitcoin. I am happy he left this platform in the safe hands of our administrator, Theymos, who has constantly been up and doing to make sure there are lots of educational activities and upgrades on the platform. I just believe anyone who is desperate to know about Bitcoin and finds themselves here should count themselves lucky.

It comes off as a bit naive to presume that taking courses sufficient for a masters degree from a university is the same as whatever level of hanging out that any of us might be doing on the forum.

Surely both course materials and lectures could be way more indepth and organized as compared with sporadic contents of various forum threads. 

University courses would also likely include expectations of homework, and various kinds of exams, whether multiple choice tests or written composition, and many times master's programs will require the student to prepare some kind of a master's thesis or master's project that is reviewed by a supervising professor that will help the student in the carrying out of the project and/or thesis.

This forum has active and passive participants, so it can be quite difficult to know the level of knowledge that another person might have in regards to various bitcoin-related topics and/or their abilities to either take tests on the topics or to express some of their views in any kind of in-depth writing.

By the way, I am not opposed to some teaching beyond just bitcoin, yet it seems to me that the focus should primarily be on bitcoin and bitcoin first, and perhaps less than 10% of the required curriculum to be shitcoin related.. and so surely within any academic program there would be required classes and optional classes, and some of the classes might be more rigourous or technical, and others might not be as rigorous, perhaps partly depending on the style of the professor for each of the classes.

That’s true we have some nice knowledgeable users in this forum that are good in impacting in others. And we ain’t paying for it all we got to do is to go through their thread and replies to be impacted on, I have learned a lot from this forum and I am using those knowledge for growth , it would have been nice if we have a way test our bitcoin knowledge, in different aspects either in the economical aspects or technical aspects .

If they have professors that are bitcoin maximalist like the ones we have here , the chances of those student falling for any rug bull shit project is damn low…😄
