## Resource

Max Raskin (NYU School of Law) and David Yermack (NYU Stern School of Business) take the stage in their LIVE AT PUBKEY show in PubKey NYC to discuss how academia is grappling with Bitcoin: what gets taught, what gets missed, and why it matters. Plus: How NYU became the first university to teach cryptocurrency How you can get orangep-pilled from Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49 How Max Raskin went from Austrian economics nerd to early crypto reporter What Michelle Obama’s fashion choices and CEO private jets taught Professor Yermack about markets Inside the faculty wars: how Bitcoin went from fringe topic to NYU curriculum A first-hand look at why most economists still dismiss Bitcoin How NYU Law teaches Bitcoin using tort law, common law, and the “law of the car” Why (in Max's humble opinion) AI can never replace lawyers The future of stablecoins, CBDCs, and why Amazon scares the U.S. Treasury The future of Bitcoin education in academia and beyond ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ PubKey meetups are FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
