Very hard to have purely Bitcoin programs offered in the mainstream education systems. There will be some sort of dilution, to prevent people from understanding that Bitcoin is the exit.

There will certainly be dissertations about bitcoin but the PhD’s will probably be in existing fields, like economics or computer science.

Even if that were true, the new research would still fall within existing fields. Every serious discipline has gone through paradigm shifts.
