Indian Government in Dizzying Reversal Sponsors Free Crypto Course
Summary
By CCN Markets: The Indian government continues to project a deep level of hypocrisy as it turns its attention to sponsoring a blockchain and cryptocurrency course. IBM has built its reputation in crypto on the back of permissioned, or closed blockchains, a term that is laughable in the space since the whole philosophy behind the movement is to decentralize networks in the first place. Considering one of the instructors, Dr. Praveen Jayachandran, works for IBM India, a large part of the course material will be skewed toward their blockchain product – Hyperledger Fabric – naturally. It uses Google Trends to show a marked difference with the keyword “deep learning.” It also conveniently fits the chart into the same time frame as the runaway bull market of 2017 when people were arguably more interested in the price of bitcoin compared to anything else. It was so gung-ho at the time that its research arm boldly claimed: This happened shortly after Indian authorities were infamously removing bank notes out of circulation, leaving many cash-only users stranded.
