My classmates asked that question and the professor kept on talking about the probability of getting scammed but he's really against the whole crypto-currency movement so his opinion is biased.
So...here I am, asking for guidance...
He is really biased and closed minded. Without even doing any research and just based his opinion on the recent news or the bad ones he just went on to say the reason why many contrarian also like to change the education system that we used to. It's so unilateral that prevents students to be more creative and explorative with their capabilities and also the things around them.
