Tinkering on Farcaster and writing about it. Built /ambassadors (hiatus) https://kylepatrick.xyz

They had an assignment last week where they had to write about one of the current bills in Congress around crypto and then discuss it in class. We do a whole week around crypto law & policy.

I wish you were my prof, back when I had my thesis proposal regarding crypto political policy it seemed like I was talking with myself

Digital Media Producer. I like particles and waves too. I like art.

They have to come up with a way to tackle a problem on campus using crypto.  I liked the idea of rewarding students who 1) come to class on time and 2) put their phone on a device that would give them coins as it sat there, but if they picked it up, it would stop and they would lose everything. Wasn’t something you could actually do yet, but cool idea for the future. 

That was a couple semesters ago, so we’ll see what they come up with tonight

omg! what are some good ones that they have historically come up with?

We really haven’t discussed it except in regards to market movements.

/basenews now Word of the day👀

Not from this semester — we’ll see who’s interested at the end of the class

You are at the forefront of innovations!! And you can introduce them to the devs and investors. Are any of the students already in Farcaster?

Sounds interesting!

I read your comment about rewarding students, and it instantly reminded me of an Argentine teacher who did something brilliant 

He created his own classroom currency, called Steve Coins (or EsteBits).
Every time a student completed their homework, they earned one EsteBit.

But here’s the twist: they had to spend their rewards.

Right before a test, he’d hold an auction where students could use their EsteBits to buy extra points.
In Argentina, you need a 6 to pass. So if a student scored a 5 but had bought a point — they’d pass!

The best part?
The more homework someone did, the more coins they earned — and students stopped sharing answers, because homework became more valuable to them individually. They knew they’d need those coins for the next auction.

He basically recreated a full economic system in his classroom:
✔️ Incentives
✔️ Inflation
✔️ Market demand
✔️ Utility-based currency
