We are at a critical moment in the cryptocurrency epoch — the fourth industrial revolution. It is a period of intense evolution where the strong will adapt and the ones who resist change will wither away. The future remains as unpredictable as it has ever been. Governments are scorching the field with regulations. Those who fail to transform will be left behind.
ExtraCredit believes in its transformative capacity. While media focuses on fear, uncertainty and doubt, we are studiously building a platform that we believe could have a direct impact on people’s lives. But before all of that, permit us to tell a story of a person named Joe.
Joe’s life has had its share of unfortunate events. But eventually, he came across something that could change his life. Not in the sense that many would think of, but in a truly transformative way.
He came across a platform for education, that will eventually give him a career. When Joe first heard about blockchain, he was bewildered and enamored at the same time. This curiosity would fuel a strong desire in him to learn more, to be familiar with the field and to explore its manifest possibilities. This would push him to educate himself furiously about blockchain technology. He learned about programming languages, he invested his time in reading about Satoshi Nakamoto’s manifesto. He watched all of Andreas Antonopoulos’ videos and kept up to date with anything and everything blockchain. Like a butterfly emerging out of his cocoon, Joe had a second lease in life.
This could be your story. This could be anybody’s story. And we’re helping build the road to that dream.
Today, ExtraCredit’s partner, BitcoinHomework now has more than 60 courses about blockchain technology. From programming languages, inspiring new platforms, promising startups, decentralized exchanges, blockchain developments and more, the team never let a day pass without giving and giving and giving.
ExtraCredit is dedicated to giving high quality educational value.
We’ve always believed that we could do more with the things we already have at our disposal. We’re grateful to all the contributors, lecturers, teachers, writers and everybody who has made a contribution in one way or another to make this project a huge success. A lot still needs to be done but it’s the community behind us that fuels our drive.
This supercharges our motivation to bring you more value, more courses, more lectures and more insight into anything and everything blockchain. We’re very grateful.
Education is a flame that’s tempered to shine with bright consistency and it can only continue with constant improvement. That’s why the ExtraCredit team is working hard with solid determination in improving the site by forging partnerships with strategic allies. Despite the tech titans’ banning cryptocurrency related campaigns, we’re making the most of the remaining time to maximize the outreach opportunities.
As we wind up the first quarter, we’ve already begun setting the groundwork for ExtraCredit’s smart contract development. A Course Smart Contract will be created that delivers ExtraCredit tokens to students that successfully complete courses on BitcoinHomework.com to revolutionize online education and incentivize students to learn.
Students who are geared towards the cryptocurrency markets would be benefited with cryptocurrency market updates that get straight to the point without the usual marketing fluff that befall other offerings. Up to date, precise, accurate and timely. These are the things that we bring on the table.
We’ve always believed that growth should organic. But we also believe that a little incentive for the most passionate participants would increase growth rates dramatically. That’s why the team is heavily invested in coming up with creative avenues to motivate our user base. With thousands of students already enrolled, we’re bent on making blockchain education viral.
Youtube and video resources are extremely powerful in education. Lynda.com started out this way and they were acquired by Linked.in for $1.5 billion. MOOC providers (Massive Open Online Courses) like Coursera and uDemy maximize videos to the fullest extent.
ExtraCredit believes in the power of videos and would leverage their potential in teaching anything and everything about blockchain.
BitcoinHomework Students will be given discounts for BitcoinHomework gear.
As the US Securities and Exchange Commission, CFTC, Congress and state authorities mull the role of cryptocurrency in the greater economic sphere, the ExtraCredit team is shoring up its resources for legal compliance.
At the same time, the bounty team is ensuring that this project is inclusive by integrating multilingual support for many of its courses. In this way, we will go forward with a worldwide system that could benefit people even if they speak a different language.
