That's what happens when newbies follow Suppoman & his shilled ICOs.
People should learn to do their own research & do not reply on YouTubers.

I have nothing against BDG, just the idea itself isn't so innovative & shouldn't be in the blockchain in the first place because it won't ads / solve anything that isn't already done.

I would disagree with you on this point. We can't do what we've set out to do without blockchain, a quick explanation.

1. Scholarships & Micro-payments ( using smart-contracts we can easily distribute payments and scholarships to students). Imagine convincing thousands of people to put in their banking information and then manually sending them a couple of dollars as an incentive for completed achievements. This would be such a huge timesink that blockchain and token payments solve with 1 smart-contract.

2. 100% revenue share model for teachers. Using blockchain we can have it so students pay teachers directly. Smart-contract would outline the transaction details so that no side would have to "pay first" and feel uneasy.

3. Safety for students. If businesses sponsor courses, students can rest assured that they'll get their scholarships because everything is processed through smart-contracts. Blockchain also adds a level of transparency so no-one feels cheated.

4. And tokens allow us to gamify the platform.

I also think these things can be done better with blockchain, it is just not as urgent to a lot of people as the system is quite alright today. Once improvements are demonstrated that mindset will change.
