# blockchain.mit.edu — Digital assets, tokenization, stablecoins, and AI Research and teaching from MIT on digital assets, tokenization, stablecoins, and AI — from the MIT Digital Currency Experiment and the economics of the blockchain to stablecoin design, CBDCs, and the economics of AGI. With MIT Sloan executive education courses and a live blockchain demo. ## The MIT Digital Currency Experiment In October 2014, all 4,494 undergraduates at MIT were offered access to Bitcoin — one of the largest field experiments ever run on the diffusion of a new technology. When natural early adopters are delayed relative to their peers, they are more likely to reject the technology altogether — and their rejection spills over to everyone else. ## Sections - [Courses](https://blockchain.mit.edu/courses.md) - [Research & Articles](https://blockchain.mit.edu/research/index.md) - [Media](https://blockchain.mit.edu/media.md) - [Live Blockchain demo](https://blockchain.mit.edu/how-blockchain-works/) ## Research highlights - [Seeding the S-Curve?
