I’ve known BJ since he was a grade 9 student in my science class. I knew there was something special about him back then because he gained international attention by challenging the system over a flag. Seriously, look it up.
But every tech question I had, BJ had the answer. As I watched him over the next couple of years, I knew this was a special individual. He started to explain to me the ins and outs of cryptocurrency and I thought teachers need to know something about this. But I have to admit, I conduct this interview and still wonder what it all means. But I did, in fact, learn several things and gained an insight into the way our world is heading. And I always think that it’s not just my world, but it’s also the world my students are heading into. We all need to speak the language of the ages to come and BJ can help you with that.
