RE: Decentralized 2018 - Blockchain Summit: CEO of Greek University Presents World's First Master's Degree in Digital Currency!

Hi @ura-soul!

Thanks so much for this article, just a few hours ago I published a post regarding Decentralized 2018, the speakers & the subjects to be presented / discussed : )

Representatives from @oracle-d are also attending Decentralized!

I hope to attend and as a matter of fact, the possibility of that is greater than 90%!

I have some information you might not be aware of. The UNIC has recently created a steemit account for its MSc in Digital Currencies, offering an overview of the course and invites everyone to join the FREE MOOC.

In addition, the @mscdigital presents a synopsis of the sessions included in the 12-week course (Mr Polemitis himself and Mr Antonopoulos are the Lecturers)

I was a student of their MOOC 9 and I fully recommend it.
(Perhaps in the future I will be able to apply for their MSc too.. )

Very good, thanks for the link and info!
Am I correct in thinking that the move to offer this course is partially in reponse to the financial problems Greece has experienced with it's legacy financial systems?

Thank you for responding!

The course will certainly help Greeks, but I doubt that it has anything to do with the Greek financial situation. The course has been offered to everybody for the past few years and I guess that their main goal was/is to bring this knowledge closer to the people.

For me this course was an eye-opener. My first ever interaction with any blockchain was steemit ..

I had read some things about blockchain, but the course provided me with more valid information and the theory as to 'why' this is considered a disruptive field and the reason we will be discussing about it a lot in the future.
