Universities have evolved as isolated fiefdoms of knowledge. Faculty specialize in a field, students concentrate in a major. This leads universities to overlook Bitcoin, which mixes ideas from multiple domains together.
But Bitcoin can fix universities, too.
The opportunity today is to bring Bitcoin into all the disciplines it touches. Imagine a week of Bitcoin in classes like corporate finance, energy/power systems, macroeconomics, game theory, human rights, philosophy, government, integrated circuits, cryptography, and computer networking.
This will reveal the power of interdisciplinary innovation, expose Bitcoin's academic foundations, and reach students at scale.

🎙️ @halstonvalencia joins our speaker lineup:
“I hope women understand that Bitcoin gives you the economic foundation to pursue what actually matters to you, not just what pays the bills. For me, Bitcoin answered the question: how do I build a future where my choices aren’t limited by a system designed to devalue my work and my savings?"
