A startup school for a singular technical solution that has now gone years without any demonstrable killer app and which faces immense scaling and regulatory hurdles seems like putting the cart well before the horse here.

I very much doubt that the key roadblock to realizing the crypto dream has been the lack of availability of a startup school around it.

The word "crypto" is not about cryptography. It's about useless digital currencies.
