As a recent graduate from a public university with a bachelor's degree in Economics, I could not relate to this story more. My first three months going down the bitcoin rabbit hole taught me more about economics than all of my university classes combined. Luckily I was in a position where I was ready to rethink all of the nonsensical models and abstract Keynesian ideas I was taught in my classes.
Lots of my classmates share that sentiment with your students - bachelors degrees in Economics are largely useless in today's world. The main silver lining I found is that it educates students on the models and viewpoints they will have to stand up against during this shift to a hard money system.
