I am a 40 something primary school teacher in England, who became interested in Bitcoin about a year and a half ago, just in time for the altcoin eruption. I guess you could say I'm an enthusiast of the technology and have had a few posts published on Let's Talk Bitcoin (http://letstalkbitcoin.com/having-a-bit-of-faith/).

I guess you could say I "get" the point of Blockchain technology, and can imagine it playing an important role in the future. Mix a knowledge of the tech with my job, my child, who needs educating, and the fact I have anarchistic tendencies and you get an interest in Educoin. I bought a bunch within a day or two of it hitting the exchanges.

The fact Educoin hasn't "gone to the moon" really doesn't bother me. In fact, if having some can help my boy gain access to quality learning content when he's at university in 15 years time, I'll be happy.

In summary, I wouldn't be able to code if my life depended on it and I ain't a whale. However, I can see Blockchain technology working in a useful, purposeful and constructive manner. Bitcoin is leading the way. Maidsafe is an interesting application. Ethereum, who knows. But at the same time Doge, RDD and several others are showing that altcoins really do have a place. So, as far as I'm concerned, Educoin belongs here too.

One other thing I can say with absolute conviction and certainty. People in the Education sector don't play with money because every penny spent can improve a young person's life chances - no money, no chances.
