The Blockchain Education Network (BEN) has announced a Bitcoin airdrop to four Chicago Universities today. This year BENs Back-to-School Blockchain Initiative has spread to more cities than ever before to show students the power of cryptocurrency.

From the article:

"According to a recent report from the Boston Globe despite a $500,000 in Bitcoin giveaway cash and credit cards still ruled the roost on campus. The article seemed awfully bias towards downsizing the benefits of cryptocurrency education."

Who pays for this? Half a million dollars is a lot of money to give away.

3,110 students signed up

$150 per person. In any currency, that is nice for students.

Although that is not from the reliable site, i will giving my appreciate. but i don't believe if that is a real things, because $500000 it's a much amount and that's will not effective caused by the student is just wanna for joining the educational caused by money.

Agree that is really a big amount of money just to used it for educational purpose. Then what they do to that big amount of bitcoin? I cant imagine how they spend store used or experiment that big amount of bitcion Huh

Agree $500000 is too much for the student just to used it into a educational purposes. 5 bitcoin is enough for them to used it in educational purposes. That amount of bitcoin is they can understand how the bitcoin works, how the process been done and how efficient it is. I think it is just a joke or not reliable news.
