Now that @FloridaGators (Go Noles!) have also partnered with $XRP and I’ve had a bit more time to think through strategically how this is important… In addition to the quoted post, a huge benefit I see with onboarding colleges is very similar to how Apple became the power house it is today. Before talking about Apple… think about what colleges are at a macro view. They’re effectively closed societies. I opened my first personal bank account and credit card was when I went uo freshman year to @FloridaState. Your student id is how you enter dorms pay for lunch, submit online assignments. College is a microcosm for the world at large. It’s overwhelming. The other big one: student loans and grants. All of that can be digital and frictionless. Makes me think similarly to the benefits Rakuten would see being on XRPL (I’ll link to that post in comments) or my thesis on stablecoins as a service. Apple would go to elementary, middle, and high schools and give them personal computers. They also lobbied for typing to be added to the curriculum. Why? Because they played the long game. When you have revolutionary technology, adoption at scale is the hardest piece to solve for. Rather than changing how the current market operates or convincing them you have a better product, because you have revolutionary technology with a massive addressable market, it’s easier to implement that technology in the younger generations that are more capable of understanding and using it. That adoption grows with them and the life time value of a younger consumer is exponential, morbidly that’s because the amount of years of life that consumer has left in them and shifting their mindset also goes downstream to subsequent generations… it becomes the new norm.
