Which Universities Are Offering Blockchain Courses?
Blockchain, the technology that powers cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, is gradually gaining mainstream attention as more prominent US universities are adding it to their course lists.For those who are not familiar with cryptocurrency yet, it is essentially a digital asset designed to work as a bridge to secure the financial transactions and a decentralized way for users to directly transact online.According to IBM’s Vice President of Blockchain Technologies, Jerry Cuomo, the best Blockchain engineer can earn a salary above $250,000.“It is on the high side of what a really talented consultant or software engineer can earn. Demand is exceeding supply, so we are seeing shortages. It is up there with the cloud and artificial intelligence as a really hot area.” “This technology is not that complicated,” he adds. “If you are a coder who knows about cryptography then it is pretty simple.”In US, universities such as Stanford University already launched Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies courses two years ago. While University of California - Berkeley, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology offer similar courses on the subject.http://cointelegraph.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2c088712615955cd2f82aa968&id=f987070d49&e=140f57b3eb
I would absolutely recommend someone entering college to enter this field of study.
Interesting subject, and pondering.
Gives me an idea for my postgrade studies if I ever finish my Physics degree. I´m sure it´s a great masters option for programmers, but I´m thinking I could tackle it as a physicist.
Can you think of blockchain technology in science? Problems intense in distributed computing, like the Traveling Salesman Problem, could be an example. If you read Spanish, you can have a peep here

Interesting. It may be one of the few fields a person would potentially recover the money sank into a degree; I wonder if their wouldnt be a better choice of some kind of online instruction focusing on that specifically for a lot less money. I tryed a few tines to search one out, but all I could find was scamy looking people trying way too hard to sell it without much explanation of exactly what they were selling. If anyone knew of a reputable site like that, I would like to know about it.
Blockchain its the future of finance. We need learn more about it and start using cryptocurrencies
One of the best fields of study for the future.
