It is nice to see that thing has already started, and it would be nice that you share some info about your progress in work with students. For me it would be very important to teach students about technology which stands behind Bitcoin, and its practical application in today's society. Most people are today intrigued with bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general just because of possible profit.
That is what we call technical evolution in human society. Back to around more than 20 years ago, using computers and Internet was something unpopular, at least in my nation, and it was likely that only young generations, and middle-ages guys (most are bussinessmen or lecturers) have access to computers and Internet. Progresses were slowly, but since 2004-2005, things changed fastly and dramatically, the brought Internet to most of households, not only in my nation, my local, but also in others nations and other locals too.
I believe that what might happen with blockchain technology and crypto. It will become more popular and more easily to access for people globally in coming years.
