"The University of Nicosia offers the first Master of Science in Digital Currency"

MSc in Digital Currency - University of Nicosia (Cyprus)

MSc in Digital Currency – University of Nicosia

I probably won't put out money for the program, but will definitely sign up for the MOOC. Definitely looks like an interesting program

 

Isn't that we have been using digital currency for century? I make almost $200,000.00 per year. But I think I have seen less than $1,000.00 cash for entire year.

 

This is one of those situations where I feel the degree is over-specialized.

You better be pretty committed to digital currency if this is your chosen degree path. The same, I would think, could be accomplished with a certificate in digital currency complementing an MBA or an M.S. in Finance.

There is a principal in fiction writing called "show but don't tell." The idea is to clearly create an image in the mind of the reader without explicitly mentioning every little detail.

In hiring, I have found that the resumes that have the greatest impact on the hearts and minds of hiring managers are the ones where the manager is required to connect a few dots rather than situations where specialized degrees try to tell the hiring manager what to think and believe.

In those situations an MBA/MSCS (or MSIT) (or a BSBA/MSCS or a BSCS/MBA) can have a more desirable outcome than an M.S. in BIS or similar. Education is important. But experience and skills tends to be equally, if not more, important.

You have to color in all of the bubbles or else you only get credit for spelling your name correctly.

 

Nothing personal, of course, but I've encountered plenty of managers who don't like that at all. Maybe time for a MOOC on dot-connection. :smile:

Isn't that what they called personal computers, the Internet, Rock 'n Roll? Even, IIRC, the automobile, though my recollections of cars like Reo and Maxwell etc. are pretty dim, nowadays. :smile:

"Happy death of Rock 'n Roll" -from a 1956 poem, a forecast on the coming year. I remember it. I was 13.

Yeah, that's why I think it makes sense to give the MOOC a try. They even have a block chain to document successful completion of the MOOC!

 

Japan just made Bitcoin a legal payment.

 

Yeah, this could be a pretty big development as time goes on, although there are definitely some scaling issues that will need to be addressed sooner rather than later to ensure the long-term viable of BTC as a legitimate means of transaction (I hesitate in calling it a legitimate currency at this point).

 

Then allow me to over-specialize things even further. :smile: I was wondering if there was anything out there on Islamic Digital currency use. Lots! Interesting article on Islamic use here: https://www.coingecko.com/buzz/bitcoin-islam-islamic-banking-finance
