In an industry where fraud is on the rise, Bitcoin education platforms are showing that they are the real deal and Jack Dorsey wants to invest in it.
Jack Dorsey has shown interest in investing in Bitcoin education. Several Bitcoin education platforms are bridging the knowledge gap to accelerate adoption. In the long run, topics related to Bitcoin and the blockchain ecosystem may reduce animosity in the aftermath of the crypto crisis.
The Bitcoin Association recently launched an online Bitcoin school that focuses on university-style crypto courses. The curriculum includes Bitcoin Theory, Bitcoin Development, and Bitcoin Infrastructure at varying levels of difficulty.

Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey recently announced his intention to enter the Bitcoin education space. This is being done in collaboration with Shawn ‘Jay Z’ Carter and a few other cryptocurrency entities. In a tweet on Thursday, he announced the news on The Bitcoin Academy.
Dorsey believes Bitcoin will become a vital tool in American communities, as it has in Africa, Central and South America. The goal of this Jack Dorsey Bitcoin project, he added, is to demonstrate the value of making powerful tools more accessible to people.
“Education is where we start. This is not just about Bitcoin. It’s about long-term thinking, local economies, and self-confidence. Courses are free to all Marcy residents, including kids. And to make it even easier we are providing devices and data plans for all who need it.”
The program of the Academy aims to educate and empower the community with knowledge. It works to remove barriers so that residents can learn more about Bitcoin and finance in general.
While the Bitcoin school is currently focused on the Marcy Houses neighborhood, the school’s vision is to expand to other neighborhoods as well. On June 22, the program in Jack Dorsey’s Bitcoin school will be available to all members of the New York community.
“Those who participate in the program will receive MiFi devices as well as a one-year limited data plan, as well as smartphones if necessary.”
