For development and team updates, I recommend you have a look at our blog. It's https://blog.bitdegree.org/. You'll be able to find all of the latest news surrounding the project. In short, development is going great! We're increasing our user base, new features get rolled out monthly, we're now starting to adopt the token in more ways on the platform.

Thanks for the reply. Is the Bitdegree token going to be the exclusive payment method within the ecosystem or are others allowed as well?

We don't want to gate any core content behind the BDG Token. A very little amount of people are into crypto and not allowing them to participate on the website would significantly hurt the business and our user count. At the start, we want to use the BitDegree Token as an enhance mechanic. Meaning students that use BDG get a more complete experience and features that build up their profile that they can later present to potential employers. However, if you're just looking to buy 1 course and never come back we do accept FIAT payments. If we wouldn't do this, people would turn to competitors.

In short, having FIAT payments mean we have a chance to convert that student into BDG user later. If we don't accept FIAT we lose that student altogether.

I understand your position, but at the same time that isn't great news for investors, is it? If your token doesn't play an exclusive role there is less reason for it to increase in value.
