If you give me your bts address I will donate to you 10 bitSILVER to be distributed:
5 bitSILVER for first place
3 bitSILVER for second place
2 bitSILVER for third place

that's very generous, thank you! My goal with this project is to get other profs in the department to do the same thing with their much larger classes. Generous donations like this from the community just make the case even better.

also, my Bitshares address: cylonmaker2053

Here is a quote from his post:

I’m teaching an Intro to Investments course at my university and plan on integrating both Steemit and Bitshares into the curriculum. The plan is to have each student create a Steemit account and base part of the participation grade on their interactions in the #finance, #economics, or #investing tagged posts. The goal is to get them actively thinking about current events and contributing to a thoughtful community discussion.

The plan with using Bitshares is to give each student about 10 USD worth of BTS, have them set up accounts on OpenLedger, and instigate a trading contest. I’ll have them run through some basic exercises, like borrowing smartcoins, playing market maker, and taking directional bets on whatever assets they find interesting.
