In conjunction with http://www.diginomics.com, we are putting together a lengthy Economics of Bitcoin course and I thought to reach out to the bitcoin.com community here to expand on, and brainstorm some new, ideas to put together for course topics. In order to serve a specific target market, we deliberately excluded anything which was focused deeply on the mining aspect of cryptocurrency and instead am focusing on what an investment manager, economics researcher, entrepreneur in the bitcoin space would be interested in.
Bitcoin mining and cryptocurrency development may come in the form of later courses, but for now we want to be very specific around the investment potential of the bitcoin payment system.
Below, we've listed an array of topics we are considering for the course. If you have any ideas or requests for course topics, reply in this thread. If you are interested in being notified when this course is released, enter your email on this page.
