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

From the article:
Quote
"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.
