They are teaching them about blockchain applications specifically. This isn't about market fit.
They appear to be attacking the VERY widespread problem of people applying a blockchain solution where it doesn't necessarily add value. What does a blockchain solution buy you? What doesn't it do for you? Do you really understand what it does and does not do?
Given a student's proposed application, you could critique it based on whether the properties of a blockchain solution provide something unique that couldn't be provided easily with other approaches.
- wrs 7y agoThe interesting thing will be whether any proposed applications would survive the critique. Perhaps the whole plan is to have the students learn that there are almost no sensible applications! (Is the CS department participating to generate alternative implementations for comparison?)
