Learn-to-earn is a thing now - and it seems pretty cool!
Have you ever been Miyagi’d?
As in, learnt something without intending to learn it?
Revolut and Polkadot have teamed up to Miyagi us all.
First off, who’s Revolut? And what's Polkadot?
Revolut is a crypto saving app with trading features and a debit card service. They’ve been quietly gaining market share since they launched fee-free crypto trading in the US last year.
Polkadot allows dApps to communicate across different blockchains, making for an interoperable, decentralized web.
(I.e. They make everything work smoothly, in the background).
OK, so here’s what they’ve done:
Revolut has just launched their new ‘Learn-to-Earn’ initiative which is a series of courses designed to foster financial literacy.
And here’s where they Miyagi people:
Yes, the course content does allow people to become more financially literate.
But, after the first module, titled ‘Crypto Basics,’ the rest of the course is about all things Polkadot - its use cases, the DOT token, governance etc.
You even get $15 worth of DOT (Polkadot’s token) upon completion.
This move is equal parts big brained and sneaky, by Polkadot.
Because while Revolut has the distribution and provides the tools to buy and sell crypto, if amateur investors only really know deeply about one token (DOT), what are the chances that’s the coin they’re going to buy?
If this works, learn-to-earn could become a new blueprint for crypto education across other coins too.
Good for retail investors (less guessing, more informed decisions), good for Web3.
We love to see it.
