What a pleasure to know that I helped a teacher show this outright innovating and cool technology to their students right before their holiday break. This will definitely be part of their long-term memory now.
After watching the "What is Bitcoin" video from bitcoin dot org
Good move, but for the ones who want to dive in, consider suggesting them to watch this one:
But how does bitcoin actually work?so teacher wants to teach about bitcoin. but instead was getting kids to use a lite wallet with a different network.. whereby to do 3 transactions took the class nearly an hour and had lots of issues..
so what did they learn.
a. what they think bitcoin is, is some instant payment system that doesnt involves confirmations.
problem: when actually using bitcoin in the future, they realise their lesson was nothing like what bitcoin performs like
problem: they think they get free already loaded up value. again not what bitcoin actually is like
problem: they get shocked when the see confirmations needed on actual bitcoin transactions.
b. what they think bitcoin is, is some electrum lite wallet
problem: they dont learn about blockchains or network security or consensus
problem: they think their lite wallet altnet experience is the same security as bitcoin because teacher told them its bitcoin
c. whether using titulars linked video or blackhatcoiners link.. both are describing bitcoin.
problem: yet what titular taught in class is not bitcoin. its LN.
problem: titular pre-set up channels to avoid his students even experiencing a blockchain transaction
problem: kids think the payment for coffee is final and settled without seeing the real settlement process
all in all titular did not teach bitcoin. but an altnet crypto
