The disruption of blockchain technologies is a global phenomenon that has already begun to change our conceptions of finance and economy.
To better educate its citizens on these changes, the Brazilian foundation Getulio Vargas created the first master's degree in crypto finances - a first-of-its-kind initiative both in the country and South America.
According to a report by São Paulo based newspaper, the Estadão, Brazil has decided to take a step forward in the modernization of its academic programs by offering an official academic degree on cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies to the general public.
Although similar courses and seminars exist, this master's degree is worth mentioning because it demonstrates the innovative vision of an educational system that adapts to the progress of modern society.
Its innovation-oriented vision earned it a privileged position among the most important businessmen in the world.
Today, Brazil demonstrate why it is one of the world's emerging economies, validating at the same time the solidity and seriousness of blockchain technologies as a business with big potential for many types of industries.
Within the Getulio Vargas Foundation, a student group called "Blockchain Insper" was born seven months ago.
Although the Getulio Vargas Foundation is the first to provide this type of master's degree countrywide, there are other universities around the world that offer courses, master's, and even doctorates in blockchain-related areas.
For those who wish to make of cryptocurrencies something more than a hobby, rigorous and specialized education can be the first step to build the better world we all dream of thanks to the adoption and evolution of blockchain technologies.
