BSN, presented by bitcoin Generationoperates as a comprehensive platform that provides logistical, educational and financial resources to students interested in bitcoin.
The main goal of BSN is to connect students globally, encouraging collaboration and knowledge exchange between young people passionate about bitcoin. The network facilitates the creation and expansion of student clubs dedicated to bitcoin, offering support and financial assistance to affiliated clubs.
“The word ‘network’ is mentioned 21 times in the bitcoin white paper,” said Ella Hough, co-founder and project lead of Generation bitcoin. “Satoshi was too determined for this amount to be a coincidence. We founded bitcoin Students Network to empower students with knowledge and networking opportunities and encourage them to join the conversation that needs them. BSN aims to remove barriers to create communities of Bitcoiner students and strengthen bitcoin's Layer 0, the social/human layer.”
BSN aims to act as a bridge between students and the broader bitcoin industry, facilitating communication and collaboration between educational institutions and industry players. By providing access to resources, job opportunities, and mentorship, BSN aims to strengthen the social fabric of bitcoin's human layer, known as Layer 0.
The network operates with core values such as freedom through knowledge, open source principles, proof of work, and first principles thinking. These values underpin BSN's distributed yet organized structure, with a founding team, a board of industry advisors, and a board of student advisors guiding its operations.
For students, BSN offers a wealth of opportunities, including starting or growing university bitcoin clubs, 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 about bitcoin,” said Arsh Molu, growth leader and co-founder of Generation bitcoin. “The bitcoin Students Network aims to support university clubs as well as equip students with resources, knowledge and job opportunities around the world.”
Industry players are also encouraged to participate by hosting events, providing financial support, donating resources, offering mentorship, and sharing internships and job opportunities.
