After rigorous research, we've published the Top Universities for Blockchain by CoinDesk, ranking 220 schools internationally.

@NUSingapore takes first place.

Here's how we did it: 🧵👇
coindesk.com/learn/2021/10/… Image
This year we went international, expanding the sample from just U.S. schools in 2020.

Representing Asia alongside @NUSingapore in the top 10 are @HongKongPolyU and @Tsinghua_Uni.

Top U.S. schools include @UCBerkeley and @MIT.

How did we do it?

CoinDesk’s rankings cover college courses, research output, campus blockchain offerings (like student clubs and research centers), employment outcomes, academic reputation and cost.

According to leading financial educator @ricedelman, a #bitcoin ETF is inevitable.

In his opening keynote at #BitcoinForAdvisors, Edelman hopes to remove the mystery about blockchain and digital assets and help advisors to “get off zero.”

Famous for his "Nerd's Eye View" blog, renowned advisor @MichaelKitces on one hand notes that advisors can’t risk falling behind and not learn about digital assets; on the other hand, the jury is still out.

He joins @TR401 for that discussion.

If you just started paying attention to cryptocurrency and are wondering whether to invest, here are 10 things you absolutely need to know before buying anything.
By @MarcHochstein @Lawrence Lewitinn and @nikhileshDe
trib.al/FcRqQyo
2/ Before you invest a significant amount of money in any coin, spend hours upon hours researching the technology so you understand the value proposition and the risks. (“Someone else will buy it from you for a higher price” is not a value proposition.)
coindesk.com/buying-your-fi…
3/Beware of 'unit bias.' Just because a coin is trading around $1 does not mean it’s “cheaper” than BTC at $58K. Not all coins are created equal. Research thoroughly and ask lots of questions.
