On 10/31/22, I submitted my first proposal to study Bitcoin in college. 31 months later, "Bitcoin" is on my transcript.

Yesterday on What Bitcoin Did, nostr:nprofile1qqsd0uazmzmhwseeym3rjhf3txyjapreapc6sq8yq8cy07cg45tlx2cppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyvhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnndehhyapwwdhkx6tpdshsz0ggnf graciously invited me to share how that journey unfolded.

Over the years, many have asked: "What does it mean to study bitcoin?" "What classes will you take?" "Who will teach you?"

Below was my path for those curious about what studying Bitcoin can look like in college.

My thesis was titled: "Bitcoin: The Language for Discovering, Speaking, Settling, and Preserving Truth."

Immeasurable thanks to my committee: Professors Kaushik Basu, Troy Cross, and Sarah Kreps.

The full process and most of my papers are archived here:

(Thesis to come…might turn it into a book!)

Mine was just one approach, and I hope this helps open the door a little wider for others to find their own!

Your work, accomplishments and novel path are admirable. I look forward to reading your thesis. Do you know if the general public would have access to your thesis through the Cornell library services in due time? Cheers

Oh thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it! I did sign a library release form, but I sadly don’t think you’ll have access. If you don’t mind sending me a DM with your email, I’m happy to send you the PDF.

Awesome!

Thank you!

Just listened to the episode and absolutely loved it! You’re a rising legend!

Oh thank you so much!

Great pod!

p.s. you and Cornell’s page cannot receive zaps

Thank you so much, Paul! And thank you for telling me! We used to and everything looks the same in the setup, so working to figure out why!
