Bitcoin Generation Unites Student Groups in a Worldwide Network
At Bitcoin Atlantis, the non-profit organization Generation Bitcoin is part of the Bitcoin Student Network (BSN), an initiative aimed at empowering students to learn about and contribute to the Bitcoin space. ) announced the release of BSN, presented by Generation Bitcoin, operates as a one-stop platform that provides logistics, education, and financial resources to students interested in Bitcoin.
BSN’s primary goal is to connect students globally, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange between young individuals passionate about Bitcoin. The network promotes the creation and expansion of Bitcoin-specific student clubs and provides support and financial support to affiliated clubs.
“The word ‘network’ is mentioned 21 times in the Bitcoin whitepaper,” said Ella Hough, Generation Bitcoin co-founder and project lead. “Satoshi was too purposeful for this amount to be a coincidence. We founded the Bitcoin Students Network to provide students with knowledge and networking opportunities and encourage them to engage in necessary conversations. BSN is a barrier to creating a community of student Bitcoiners. It aims to eliminate Bitcoin’s layer 0, i.e. the social/human layer.”
BSN aims to act as a bridge between students and the wider Bitcoin industry, fostering communication and collaboration between academic institutions and industry stakeholders. BSN aims to strengthen the social fabric of Bitcoin’s human layer, known as Layer 0, by providing access to resources, employment opportunities, and mentorship.
The network operates on core values: freedom through knowledge, open source principles, proof of work, and first principles thinking. These values underpin BSN’s decentralized yet organized structure, with its founding team, industry advisors, and student advisors guiding its operations.
For students, BSN offers a variety of opportunities, including starting or growing a college Bitcoin club, accessing educational and career opportunities, and connecting with like-minded people in the Bitcoin community.
“A key part of my journey has been educating the next generation of Bitcoin,” said Arsh Molu, Bitcoin Generation growth leader and co-founder. “The Bitcoin Student Network aims to support university clubs and provide students with resources, knowledge and career opportunities globally.”
Industry stakeholders are also encouraged to get involved by organizing events, providing financial support, donating resources, providing mentorship, and sharing internship and career opportunities.
