PremiumOnline
Goal: learn the basics of Bitcoin, with particular focus on its economical rationale, historical context, and its social, financial and business implications.
Description
Welcome to the 2024 edition of the “Plan ₿ Biz School”, an annual Bitcoin-centered educational program curated by Giacomo Zucco and Plan ₿ Network. With almost 102 hours of class spread across 34 lectures, this curriculum provides a comprehensive exploration of Bitcoin fundamentals and practical applications, specifically addressing future startup entrepreneurs, business students and professionals willing to work in the growing Bitcoin ecosystem in non-technical roles: from finance to marketing, from accounting to operations, from compliance to strategy. The desired target spans from students looking into a first internship, to established professionals eager to apply their skills and knowledge in the new Bitcoin economy.
Our course features insights from world famous experts who contribute as guest lecturers, offering valuable perspectives on Bitcoin's principles and its potential impact on the global economy, beyond the hype and the buzzwords. From the theoretical understanding of the basics, to the practical exploration of tools, business cases and best practices, participants will gain a thorough understanding of this disruptive phenomenon, learning about its sociological roots, political implications, economic foundations, and business impact.
The 18 curricular lectures are in English, and were recorded from the Plan ₿ Hubs of Lugano (CH) and San Salvador (SV), while the 16 guest lectures were delivered thanks to the collaboration of the Plan ₿ Nodes, which include Turin (IT), Bangkok (TH), and Belgrade (RS). You will find all the video recordings of the 2024 edition, together with a brief text summary of what is explained by the lecturers.
We strongly invite you to also check the other half of the Plan ₿ Network educational offer, the “Plan ₿ Tech School” targeting engineers, cryptographers, computer scientists and tech focused students!
