Hey nostr:npub1z5umqa38xfv94y3fpver2khw2qar2v54jetl24939j4f0yyhggdqrh5lwd, love the work you're doing! Since Cornell faculty member Eswar Prasad recently called out Bitcoin implying it essentially has no useful purpose, maybe it would be great to extend an open hand and invite him to a Bitcoin club meeting sometime this year? Nothing like debating a passionate group of students!

Incredibly grateful to be a part of this work with Sarah Kreps, Cornell University’s Cornell Brooks School Tech Policy Institute, and @CornellBitcoin Club members, researching the relationship between Bitcoin and financial freedom.
Thank you to the Human Rights Foundation and the Reynolds Foundation for making this study possible!
As promised…sharing the final proposal. (And, no, I didn’t purposely make it 21 pages.)
This type of assignment was a first for me, and I'm sure when I look back, I'll think, “Wow, I could've done better.” 😅
But, I gained valuable insights, learned new skills, and enjoyed the process. (And I am grateful for any time I get to spend
thinking about bitcoin!)

Gen Z needs #bitcoin .
Layer (Z)ero, the social layer, = @BTCStudents
Most every time I mention #Bitcoin at school, I receive laughs, but I've never been booed.
I believe this reaction is loosely held.
The Ohio State stadium seats 102, 780 people. I'm sure few in attendance have thought about the question, let alone the answer to, "What is money?”
And why would they? I certainly never did. Hence the creation of @BTCStudents.
BSN was created to support students in starting and scaling #Bitcoin clubs worldwide, fostering spaces for conversation, connection, & community.
🌐 Right now, BSN is working on starting clubs in 31 countries. We're not stopping until we reach every student.
Learning about #Bitcoin doesn't just contribute to shaping your worldview, it teaches & empowers you to shape your own worldview & make your own decisions.
#Bitcoin is a tool. Students should have access to information to choose for themselves whether it's one they want to pick up or not.
Happy Halving!! 🧡🎉
