We have previously mentioned in previous topics on Bitcoin Arab about educational courses to learn blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, and we mentioned in some of these topics how many large academic institutions in the United States of America offer online courses, including Harvard, Cornell, Brown and Columbia.

Some of these universities were faced with lawsuits worth millions of dollars filed against them by students who did not complete their classes due to the spread of the Corona virus, which made the prominent option now to submit them via the Internet.

Certainly, many will wonder why these students choose large and expensive universities to learn blockchain technology when they can choose less expensive options, some of which are even free online, a situation similar to the movie “Good Will Hunting” when the actor “Matt Damon” told his opponent that instead of Than spending $150,000 on education, he could get it for fifty dollars and sit up late at the public library.
