Education

The Mobick ecosystem broadly supports humanities-based and practical education on blockchain and Bitcoin.

Hanyang University Department of Bitcoin Monetary Philosophy

In 2024, Hanyang University established the Department of Bitcoin Monetary Philosophy as an interdisciplinary program within its College of Humanities, the first of its kind in Korea. Unlike conventional blockchain education, which has typically taken place in engineering fields such as computer science and information security, this department aims to research and teach 'decentralization' and 'trust' (the foundations of cryptocurrency) from a humanities perspective.

• Mobick founder Ota Min serves as an adjunct professor, alongside faculty from diverse fields including monetary humanities, international financial history, and linguistics.
• Hanyang also operates a Bitcoin Monetary Philosophy Research Center and an Advanced Management Program (AMP) for executives and practitioners.
• In 2025, There Is No Future Without Bitcoin, co-authored by Professor Ota Min and students based on the department's 'Blockchain and the Monetary Phenomenon' course, was published.
