Last week on the news I told you about how Yale University has decided to get into the crypto market through its endowment.

It’s just another sign of the inevitability of this technological phenomenon. The major universities have accepted that it’s real. We already know that Wall Street has as well.

Now, let’s go back to the University thing. Of course, they want to teach things that are relevant to students right?

Well, sure enough, you are seeing blockchain and distributed ledger courses pop up at Universities left and right. That doesn’t mean they know what they are talking about but they are trying, that’s for sure.

The University of California, Berkeley has been on the cutting edge of many new technological and social movements so it is not surprising that my guest today, Greg LaBlanc is one of the instructors of the latest course introducing Berkeley students to blockchain.

Greg comes at this from a pretty unique perspective as a financial historian so make sure to tune in to this interview.
