Bitcoin SV ended 2020 with a bang as Bitcoin Association, a Switzerland-based organization supporting business with the Bitcoin SV blockchain, announced on December 29 that Bitcoin SV Academy is open for enrolment. Yes, everyone interested in Bitcoin, whether beginners or enthusiasts, can now study it through the online educational platform that is Bitcoin SV Academy. Students who pass the final assessment after each course earn a certificate.
“Our goal is to have certifications from the Bitcoin SV Academy recognised by industries looking to employ people to work with blockchain technology and Bitcoin SV,” Brendan Lee, Training and Development Manager of Bitcoin Association, stated.
Bitcoin SV Academy offers three courses: Bitcoin Theory, Bitcoin Development and Bitcoin Infrastructure, all available at introductory, intermediate and advanced levels. The goal is to educate people on what the original Bitcoin is capable of and how to properly harness its power.
But is there really a need to study Bitcoin?
Many may ask if there really is a need for people to study Bitcoin. Well, the answer to that is a resounding ‘Yes!’ Aside from the numerous misconceptions about Bitcoin that need to be corrected, the technology that powers Bitcoin SV allows for it to become more than just a cryptocurrency. Businesses worldwide, as well as individual investors, can benefit from knowing exactly what Bitcoin SV can do and how to use it in their business.
“Education is a cornerstone of the work we do at Bitcoin Association, as we help businesses and individuals alike understand the Bitcoin system envisioned by Satoshi Nakamoto, and how Bitcoin SV is the only project implementing that Satoshi Vision. Bitcoin SV Academy will be a key component of that work moving forward, providing a platform to deliver a robust curriculum tailored to all levels of ability and knowledge, as we educate the world about just what’s possible with the power of the original Bitcoin protocol,” Bitcoin Association Founding President Jimmy Nguyen said.
So, why the emphasis on the original Bitcoin?
Most believe that Bitcoin Core (BTC) is the original Bitcoin. But BTC only retained the original ticker symbol and it is not actually the Bitcoin envisioned by creator Satoshi Nakamoto, known in the real world as nChain Chief Scientist Dr. Craig S. Wright. Bitcoin SV, on the other hand, has restored the original Bitcoin protocol, unleashing unlimited scaling of its blockchain.
This means that the Bitcoin SV blockchain can handle big data and has a stable protocol. This is what makes Bitcoin SV ready for global adoption—it has the capacity for innumerable businesses to develop and build a variety of softwares, applications and services on it. This is what Dr. Wright originally envisioned for Bitcoin to be, and this is what people need to be educated about.
Bitcoin Association is committed to reaching as wide an audience as possible, with introductory modules in all streams available free of charge. The introductory module of the Bitcoin Theory stream is the first course to open at Bitcoin SV Academy.
