Teaching people about Bitcoin can be really difficult, as the founders of the University of Louisville Blockchain Club have found. I visited their campus in Kentucky and we discussed how many students there are hesitant to get involved with Bitcoin, and why. But they discovered a pretty great marketing tactic that has helped them reach out to more people. Thanks for chatting with me, Tucker and Brandon!UofL Blockchain twitter: https://twitter.com/BlockchainUofLTo watch the video version of this segment, visit: https://youtu.be/xDLUCpxMA6U
