Maxwing...while yes Mining is a first step in this project is is only one aspect...and designed to be more of a hands on study element for it. Mining IS a fact of this industry so it's important that we look at how bitcoins are generated. It also goes towards Algo research, mining unit design, chipset design, and other parts of that element. the bitcoins generated go towards teaching how the exchanges work and how to trade on them. I think alot of people are seeing this as just a mining project, it's not...it's a fully comprehensive plan where we generate the coins locally, exchange them locally and use them locally. But they have to come from somewhere.
