Would love to chat more about why you think this way...

I've been in crypto/blockchain for over a decade now, leading capital at one of the largest capital allocators in DeFi (@avantprotocol), and was the primary decision-maker behind this change as the president of the club.

Over the past few years, we have been unable to attract interest and participation in BC Blockchain for several reasons, which I will detail below:

As a BC alum, I'm sure you understand the dynamic around BCIC, and how it has wholly dominated talent in the financial sector at the school, and also how radioactive the word "crypto" is to anyone (including me at this point).

You should also understand that the term blockchain is not an inviting one, and does not encourage those without a deep understanding of the topic to join us and learn more.

The goal of a club like ours is education, and there is no better way to do that than to attract the uneducated and have them participate hands-on to understand the value proposition of an emerging technology.

Fintech, going forward, will be entirely blockchain-powered or enabled, and my goal is to prepare students for that.

Again, would love to hear valid thoughts and/or criticism on execution, but your feedback here is disconnected from the reality of the transition.

@sherwoodones That's exactly the goal of this rebrand!

@avantayman @avantprotocol Early education is the best way to bring new talent and ideas into the space 🤝

FOBC meshes education with live portfolio management, workshops, and speakers across payments, tokenization, markets, and infra.

If any of these topics are something you are passionate about, reach out.

We'd love to host you at the heights 🦅

BC Blockchain is now Fintech of Boston College.

The future of finance includes the chain, the markets, and the payments that run on both.

Speakers, protocols, alumni: DM @Fintech_BC. Help us grow the future of finance at BC.
