Gambling operators might want to get started on Bitcoin development, but their development teams simply don’t understand the concepts enough, or need a leg up on how to code for the blockchain. The Bitcoin Association is now addressing those needs, announcing a partnership with Saxion University of Applied Sciences for a new Bitcoin SV-focused massive open online course (MOOC)

The partnership is expected to produce four MOOCs, looking at the power made possible by Bitcoin SV’s (BSV) protocol and massively scaling blockchain, as well as specifics on how to build applications for BSV. All of the MOOCs, including assessments, will be free of charge and offer certificates upon completion, with the first launching in early 2021.

The press release announcing the new curriculum notes the first course will focus on the basics of Bitcoin for decision makers. Courses offered later on will look at the technical side of Bitcoin. Those interested in the courses can already register their intent to sign up.

This addresses a clear need by most of the business world to upskill their internal development teams for Bitcoin development. While the BSV blockchain is capable of massive new opportunities, too few know how to build for it, and the Bitcoin Association has been focused on addressing those needs in 2020, also launching the Bitcoin Wiki, with informational articles and tools for developers.
