Ed3 Weekly Issue #151: Crypto Trying to Go Mainstream
Hello Ed3 frens,
Crypto has always struggled with an identity crisis. There are several conflicting narratives, regulatory uncertainties, and evolving use cases, which makes it hard to pin down. Is it a store of value like Bitcoin, a decentralized computer like Ethereum, or just a memecoin dcam?
There are several people now in the Trump White House who are trying hard to dispel some of these misconceptions and provide a clearer path forward for these revolutionary digital assets.
The White House Crypto Summit gathered top crypto executives and venture capital leaders to discuss policies, including influential figures from firms like Coinbase, Kraken, and Digital Currency Group.
The question remains what impact this will have on crypto adoption, and down the line, and integration into our education system.
Our role here at Ed3 Weekly is to provide you weekly resources to learn about the news and announcements surrounding blockchain and education.
