Why Education Matters More Than Hype in Blockchain Adoption

This episode of the FEB UGM Podcast features a discussion with Kerry Washington, Founder and CEO of Grunt Software and the creator of Brainwallet, a gamified educational platform focused on crypto literacy and digital asset security. Kerry also brings extensive experience from his previous work with global communities at the Litecoin Foundation, where he actively advocated for user education in blockchain technology.

The discussion highlights ongoing challenges in crypto adoption, particularly the persistent lack of understanding around fundamental concepts such as private keys, self-custody, and digital wallets. Rather than focusing on market hype, this episode emphasizes the importance of education in reducing real-world risks associated with digital assets.

This episode explores key issues including common misconceptions about cryptocurrency, the role of gamified learning in improving user comprehension, and why many users continue to struggle with basic security practices despite years of blockchain development. Special attention is given to the relevance of these issues for students and young professionals, especially in emerging markets such as Indonesia.
