We believe that bitcoin is the best money ever created. Why? It has the best monetary properties across any money that currently exists. So educators, can be sure what they are earning is valuable.

Sites like Udemy currently exclude many users due to the fact that their currency may not be supported. This keeps users out. For example, if someone in India who has Rupees wants to buy a resource like a course priced in USD, they cannot complete the transaction or if they have a card that supports this (few in India do), the learner will pay a foreign transaction fee and the platform will pay 3% + 30 cents, which on a $1 transaction is 33% fee. We can do this instead for 2% no matter the cost of the resource, even fractions of a cent.

Speaking of which, thanks to Bitcoin’s Lightning Network, we can now price resources at a cost that anyone can afford (as low as .002 cents), though, if you have a significant number of users purchasing and tipping, can be a large sum. Transactions are very cheap to process, instant, and final and scale to millions of transactions per second, which is not something any other blockchain can accomplish.
