Anyway, I think it's quite exaggerated to say about having the first bitcoin course to be taught there. Maybe as a University, it does makes sense but there have been a lot of Bitcoin courses all over the web and done by the early adopters and people who contributed a lot of it.
Yeah, the KOL is wrong, it's not the first-ever bitcoin course. Not even as far as universities are concerned as OP has already given an example of a university who came first. I'm glad OP corrected it in the title — it is more appropriate that way.
I do wonder if the KOL just put it wrongly or did it on purpose to make his post more catchy. 🤔 or maybe he actually had no idea, though I must say one quick search is all it takes to know.
