With more than 17 years of experience as a venture investor, Jean-Jacques Degroof teaches entrepreneurship at several business schools in Europe. Jean-Jacques Degroof holds a PhD in management from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan School of Management, which has developed a new course titled Blockchain and Money. Led by Gary Gensler, a former wall street regulator and Goldman Sachs partner, Blockchain and Money is designed to introduce students to the world of blockchain, which has the potential to make a significant impact on the financial sector. The course looks at bitcoin, the first major cryptocurrency, and requires students to read Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System, by Satoshi Nakamoto, the name used by the unknown person or group that developed the currency. The new MIT course also introduces students to smart contracts and distributed ledgers, which are vital to blockchain technology. Moving beyond theory, the course explores real-world applications of blockchain technology in the financial industry and in payment systems in several countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, China, and Kenya.
