I contacted my community college and asked if they would offer a course on Bitcoin. They asked if I would teach it. My local community college is offering a short class on Bitcoin and I'd like to share some of the information on Bitcoin I gathered to teach it.

To teach the class I wrote down everything at all I'd ever though I'd heard about with Bitcoin and then looked each item up.
If you've ever been down a wiki-hole you know how information hunting can end up.

So I have a lot of info I gathered so that the class can focus on fun things and the students can get a glimpse at some of the things they didn't know they don't know about.

I'd like to share that information with you!

At my community college in Portland Oregon, PCC.EDU, I have taught this course twice before and we are offering it Winter term (next 2 months), if you know anyone in Portland who wants to learn about this in a group setting.
The course will be focusing more on how to use btc rather than all the info mentioned above though. Link
