Excerpt from Coinbase -- "Yermack says he first developed the class because he was interested in bitcoin and how quickly interest in the cryptocurrency was growing. But other reasons soon emerged, notably demand from companies for people who understood cryptocurrency-related issues. Now, he sees his class as a way to give students the skills they’ll need for jobs in the future. 'A process is well underway that will lead to the migration of most financial data to blockchain-based organizations,' he says. 'Students will benefit greatly by studying this area.'"
