It’s not often you find learning tech built on the blockchain and Bitdegree is one of those. It was a wide and ranging conversation talking with Dan, BitDegree's co-founder and CEO from Lithuania. Bit Degree is built on the emerging technology, Blockchain, the same technology that cryptocurrency is built on. It’s the best example of baked in gamification I have ever seen. With a focus on upskilling masses of people in technology and other skills, they have come a long way in their short 3 years.

Be prepared to see the future of the learning technology that transforms lives.
