Will Bitcoin reach consumers through Coin Academy and Bitcoin comic book?

Bitcoin has been embraced by techies and software developers but not by the consumer. Retailers see the advantage of the low cost to transfer product or service globally via a cryptocurrency but the big bang has not been recorded by the masses according to USA Today on Tuesday.
Campbell Harvey, a Duke University professor of finance, will be teaching a course in cryptocurrency in 2015. He states,
“While it is minuscule today, that does not mean it will be small in the future,” But education, he writes, is key.
It is agreed that Bitcoin will remain amongst a small group of techies unless it becomes embraced by mass appeal. Coin Academy, an online learning site, is a step closer in attracting mass appeal to Bitcoin. It will bring a comprehensive digital currency education site online with original and curated courses of Bitcoin material, reports CoinDesk today.
