https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/stanford-university-course-grow-bitcoin-community/Omg! This is great!!!
"If we can start turning out 100 students a year who are experts on Bitcoin, this will really start growing the community quickly which should lead to exciting new technical advances in the future."
-Professor Joseph Bonneau
So when will high schools, better yet, middle schools start to teach on the subject??
Yes, this is good news! Speaking of school, I have three currently in elementary school and they watch me when I go on exchanges and do buys/trades. I am already getting them started down the path of digital currency. I show them their CRISP for Kids savings and they see how it grows. They truly are very interested in it and how money is sent "through the air" as they say. You can never start them too early.
Educating the next generations about digital currency is one of the most important things we can do. They build upon what our industry has created.
The financial world will be forced to offer programs and classes on digital currency. Just as schools were forced to offer computer classes. Unfortunately the first computers hit my high school the year after I graduated. The computers came in at the end of my Senior year and were sitting in the business classes I was taking for the next school year. All we could do was look at them. Yes folks, I learned on a typewriter, thankfully it was electric and not manual.
I remember getting our first puter for the office, a 386SX, and thinking we would never need more than one PC in the office. That was about the very early 1990's or so. Then we got FOUR puters, 486SX. Everyone in the office had one, including me. I said "we will never need the internet at work". What would we need internet at work for? Then we got internet, BUT only on ONE puter, and that puter was not connected to the company network. I just did not trust the damn thing (the internet). Took a few years of being stubborn, but I finally relented and allowed the internet on the company puters. That was two decades ago. Seems like a lifetime.
Still remember our first "Mobile phone", a bag phone........

It is absolutely amazing how quickly technology evolves. Today you can't run most businesses without the internet, at least a dozen computers, and mobile phones.
Fond memories of dragging around the 30 pound mobile phone, and finding a good place to suction the antenna.
The first laptop computer we designed and manufactured was an Intel 286 with a built power supply, considered cutting edge at that time. All it needed was an external standard power cord. Oh, that was a 16 pound machine with a 4 pounds lead acid battery, in 1989. Kevin, we could a sold you an 8 lb 386SX in 1990 with built-in modem.
We were always ahead of technologies of our time; hardware, software, and material science. Dauphin DTR 2 1/2 lbs 386SX and 486SX windows tablets with removable 80 megabyte hard drive was clearly state of the art of the time.
Technology always evolves. So will digital currency like DNotes. That is the future of money. Don't sell yourself short. The big banks that practically despised the technology a year ago are now committing large sum of money to come up with their version of centralized currency.
Meeting you for the first time is forever etched into my memory banks. It was about the year 2000, and you had this funny little puter.......at least I thought it was funny, until I learned the backstory on it. It was the beginning of a relationship that will change the world. Someday there will be books written about our humble beginnings.
