Do you think they are talking about bitcoin in your basic ECON class?
Bitcoin was not part of course I took when I was in university. I could have love it if it was among the course outline then. Currently I am advocating bitcoin you be will study among the course in our economic class in the universities.
A curious student might raise questions about bitcoin and how it's gonna play role in our economy these days because probably they might have heard it everywhere outside the classroom. It is a good idea to start advocating it because people works and earn from bitcoin, businesses, shopping, payments can all be done online with the use of bitcoin.
The fact, Bitcoin system can not support too much transactions just only for shopping as you said. If you said about Ripple, I can consider and calculate again the ability of Ripple's technology can work or not. But Bitcoin system can just receive lower than million transaction per day, how it work with total transactions of the world has 8 billion people?
