The benefits of crypto are self evident, thus it is necessary to build an elaborate faux education system to demonstrate them.

I'm sure there will also be some Network Fascism in there for good measure.

The Network School is particularly aimed at "dark talent" cohorts—individuals with exceptional skills or perspectives that often fall outside traditional educational and professional molds. These include creative individuals, physical fitness enthusiasts, tech innovators, and media mavericks who bring a diverse array of skills to the educational environment.

so... they're already "tech innovators" and "media mavericks" but they need to go to school?

How many bitcoin are we wagering it'll be 90 days of drug taking and buying the services of sex workers?

Nah, I think they're trying to sell the combination of that and some kind of valuable networking opportunity to the kind of person who is to tech entrepreneurship what the unpublished guy who loudly tells everyone in Starbucks they're a novelist is to writers.
