Re:makes sense
Not everyone is a programmer, but here's some C# and here's some Unity.
Oh, and here's some investment stuff (~$500 for the books, maybe 500 hours to read completely)

Re: Fortunately for him, most people are stupid
> Please explain to me the exact way that our current money system works
Okay:
https://www.class-central.com/...> and why it is better than crypto currency!
Money is defined as a) a store of value and b) a medium of exchange.
Store of value means I can put $2,000 in the bank today in order to pay my mortgage next month. Crypto faux-currency doesn't do that. You put aside a Randomcoin today, no telling what value it'll have next month, if any.
Medium of exchange means you can advertise your services at $25/hour, or sell tables at $100/table, and then someone who wants a table goes to work, earns $100, and uses it to buy a table from you. *coin doesn't work that way. Something that costs 0.5BTC this morning (actually $1,700) may very well cost 0.7BTC tonight (still $1,700).

Re:Vacant lot analogy
I think you are correct.
Also it seems a lot of other websites focusing on online courses used the coursera APIs, https://building.coursera.org/... , including https://www.class-central.com/ .
So it is more than just playing in the vacant lot, I think some sites were making some cash from their online courses via the API and now their business model is getting flushed.
