As job postings for students with bitcoin and blockchain experience have expanded dramatically over the past few years, increasing by 9x on Linkedin, top universities are stepping in to prepare students for a crypto world. Schools such as Wharton, Berkeley, Columbia, Stanford, Cornell, Princeton and others are offering classes, seminars and clubs where students can learn the textbook basics as well as gather real world experience. The rush of talent into the space has continued unabated amidst a fall in cryptocurrency prices in 2018, showing a strong commitment among students to the underlying cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
