I'm going to make this as straight forward as possible.
About Me:
Noel Arteaga
Illinois State University
Managerial Economics/ Business Administration
Graduate Dec 14, 2013
I am currently finishing up my undergraduate degree in Managerial Economics.
I have a week and a half to go (WHOOP).
I have focused my studies this past year on Bitcoin.
My senior project is on Bitcoin.
The whole economics department knows me as a Bitcoin fanatic.
Here is the problem:
The entire economics department refuses to accept that bitcoin has any credibility.
The professor who is overseeing my senior project is constantly discrediting it via corrections on my work in progress.
I have gone to entire economics department to talk about the economics of bitcoin and the outcome is always the same:
They see bitcoin as a fad with no credibility.The department keeps arguing against bitcoin with these points.
1) Bitcoin is deflationary and it will cause it to fail. (facepalm)
2) Bitcoin is doomed to fail because people hoard it instead of spending it. No Economy exist.(facepalm x2)
3) Nobody uses Bitcoin for anything (Not Mainstream=Not real???) (Facepalm x 1,000,000)
My Goal: Raise Awareness about Bitcoin. Starting with the economics department and then expanding to the whole campus then the whole town.I will presenting my senior project next week with the hopes of raising awareness.
I have also been putting up flyers with websites that inform people about bitcoin. The feedback from the student body has been overwhelming! I get roughly 20 emails a week from people that see the flyers and wish to learn more! Currently working on a twitter feed and facebook page.
My biggest piece of evidence: I have established an online wallet and provided the address to whole economics department and information on how to check it.
I hope to raise awareness by getting people to send donations with messages supporting Bitcoin, messages that help dis-spell the BS people that "know economics" think about Bitcoin.
It not about the amount of donation its about the messages that can be attached to the transaction!
I want to shove it in their face (in a passive way) that not only is Bitcoin alive but growing and growing fast.
I want to show the world the power of bitcoin!
Bitcoin/Message Address:

This is my attempt to prove who I am. If you have any questions please PM me!

They truly believe the crap they are teaching like "Efficient market theory" and "Modern Portfolio Theory". Dumbass professors don't realize that what they are teaching has been put there by the "powers that be" (Wall Street and the Fed) to suppress the masses and indoctrinate students to be "zombies"...follow the status quo.
Good luck getting these professors to wrap their heads around Bitcoin, they can't see past their "ego" of all the antiquated economic crap they have learned.
Hope you can convince at least one professor that Bitcoin is not a fad.
