So, get this: The University of the Hespérides just threw its hat (and probably a few sassy syllabi) into the wild world of Bitcoin. They’re offering what they’re calling “the first-ever Master’s program in Spanish that’s all about Bitcoin.” Yeah, Bitcoin. In Spain. Full-on virtual jam sesh. Mark your calendar for April 28, 2025, when this brain bonanza kicks off. We’re talking about arming people with mental ninja skills in all things Bitcoin—tech, money, rules, and some sort of profound philosophical vibes to boot.
“Hey, education’s the name of the game, or else we’re just stumbling in the dark,” says Álvaro D. María, the high priest of this whole shebang and writer of some book with a snazzy title about Bitcoin’s deeper meanings. Think of this Master’s program as an Avengers-style lineup of subjects—seriously, it’ll cover anything from Bitcoin’s totally rad history to why it’s not just some moolah lottery ticket, but a flipping grand network of digital cash that could reshape existence as we know it.
Then there’s Juan Ramón Rallo, the big brain over in their undergrad halls who’s hollering about how Bitcoin’s gonna rewrite the monetary storybooks. He’s got his soapbox, shouting that we’ve gotta be ready or the government’s gonna rain on our parade. Over at Hesperides U, they’re trying to lay down the groundwork ’cause “This program’s key,” he insists, probably waving a dog-eared copy of some Austrian economics book around for effect.
What’s on the syllabus, you ask? Oh, just your typical Tuesday topics: Why’s Bitcoin not your average crypto coin, what makes its protocol cooler than a polar bear playing jazz, what do the rule-makers think about it, and what kinda skillz companies are hiring for right now. All that brain fodder with extra side helpings of theory and real-world stuff for the ambitious souls like entrepreneurs, techies, money wizards, legal eagles, and the kinda people who like investing moolah in places other than their mattresses.
They’ve rounded up a crew of Bitcoin brainiacs including Kristyna Mazankova, who hangs out at The Bitcoin Conference, Manuel Polavieja, the guy with a headful of monetary theories, Kilian Rausch from Boltz Exchange, some fella named Manu Ferrari chatting about Money on Chain, and Sergio Fernández dropping knowledge from NegociosTV. And there’s someone known only as “Decentralized.” Sounds mysterious, right? Guess they roll like some digital-age sage or something.
This gang of institutional heavyweights backing the whole deal? Yeah, BTC Inc, Jan3, BTC Consulting 360… and a few others who probably know more about Bitcoin than you and I know about a good cup of coffee. All this comes stapled together with promises of industry insights and professional doors swinging wide open.
The entire M.A. magic unfolds on the internet, all in Spanish, making it work even if your day job’s keeping you busy. Want in? Doors are open and, turns out, their webpage has all the hows and whens for getting your name on the list of future Bitcoin scholars. Go ahead, snoop around their site and dig in.
