Am I really getting a FREE online MIT course from the Gary Gensler on Blockchain and Bitcoin!?!? Wow. Yes, yes I am. Super grateful.

Thanks a lot to everyone at MIT for providing such valuable information to the public. In the true sense of our internet, this is one reason why it was created.

I'm forever thankful. I'm a Jamaican college dropout would take the time to educate himself regardless of circumstance. And, here I am applying myself to a MIT Programmed Course.

What a fantastic class. I have done my studies in pretty decent places ; however, the breath, depth, and carisma of Mr. Gensler is top notch

Anyone who cares about the future of the "money" needs to see this. Thank you MIT. Watched it twice already.

These are really super interesting lectures. Appreciate them being available and accessible to us.

1:06:20 The key here is that the code is open source, meaning anyone can view it. You don't have to understand the code, you only have to trust a consensus of code-readers that the code is in good faith.

Thank you Prof. Gary Gensler & Prof. Lawrence Lessig

[djienf]

Hmm, is this whole semester free? Count me in. Thank you MIT, my favorite college.

[kevincoutinho]

A lot of the focus here was on the interpretation of the contract and mentioning that the "state" will intervene. Would have loved to hear more on how the "Consensus Mechanism" fits in with the interpretation of the contract and how DApps could be used to let the people have a say in the decision making process.
