The founder of financial tech company Block Inc., Jack Dorsey announced he is collaborating with the rapper Jay-Z by launching a Bitcoin Academy in Brooklyn. The Bitcoin Academy’s mission aims to empower and provide education to the region. The project’s website further details that residents of Marcy House, located in Brooklyn, New York will be eligible for free courses and other benefits like internet data plans. I think this is the motivation we need to help create awareness in their various countries and educate our people on the benefits of cryptocurrencies.

However I think that a more general financial training center, maybe with bitcoin playing a bigger part of the curriculum, would be more beneficial for the people who might be attending. It takes money to make money sort of thing, what good is bitcoin education if you do not have the foundational blocks of training in all kinds of other finances. There are many ways to lose money in the world which people need to be aware of and it might not always be taught well at school.
