The Fake Guru Industry Booms-Busts and the Future of E-Learning:
Now wouldn't be trippy if all the while we're going through all these crypto booms and busts the just as contreversial and polarizing fake guru sector is going through the same phases at the same time.
Fake Gurus. You've seen them, I've seen them, you can't watch 5 YouTube videos without being cornered by one of them selling a course.
The Parallels:

Some of those internet guru guys, specially the ones that got in early, have made and still make insane profits with their courses. Though according to many ex customers and critics, plenty times it's just fluff in their material, packaged in some enticing and aggressive marketing.
Lambos, babes, and insane numbers, the classics. It could all be yours if you just followed them, became their mentee and went into debt for their knowledge. Worry not your blessings are just around the corner. Lol. Nah, they'll probably introduce you to a new and more expensive course, or just point you to another fellow guru. Rinse repeat.
Meanwhile the legit "gurus" are overlooked because they're "boring", and don't promise much, even if they don't charge that much.
Similarly with crypto, the first adopters of Bitcoin are already filthy rich. Nowadays coins moon off of hype, promising you insane returns if you would just leave your coins on this random exchange, or donate your Bitcoin to X for the rugcoin of the day.
Pump, dump. X apologizes, next week discovers the coin to end all suffering. It's shill season once again!
Meanwhile cryptos with actual working projects and uses cases are sidelined because they aren't as sexy and aren't promoted by the biggest influencers.
No fretting though, most of us in the cryptoverse know that working projects will win out in the end. I see the guru industry going through the same path.
Teachers and E-learning:

Having watched quite a lot of fake gurus being exposed on YouTube lately, I can tell you that that industry has been in a mania for the last few years. Many of those fake gurus charge a fortune for a trip down funnelville out of which you come out broke with no value added, or never really come out of because you're officially in a cult and will keep going back for more.
These gurus rarely face any repurcasions or at most get a slap on the wrist. Rinse repeat the following year. Seeing that such schemes have become so prevalent and swindled so many since the pandemic started, it's only a matter of time until some big players industry are indicted and examples are made out them.
But as history has proven, once the dust settles and people become acclimated with the new era the industry will eventually flourish with prices being favorable to the consumers. I can see tiers and subscription models coming into play here, all blockchained once the technology gets there.
As we all know teachers tend to earn a lot less than other professions on average. Since society is already getting used to E-Learning through Zoom thanks to covid, once the Guru industry is more regulated(Yes, I said it.) teachers all around the World could apply the same guru models with some tweaks where needed, minus all the upsells and endless funnels.
Their prices would be more reasonable than those of fake gurus yet they'd have the ability to set them themselves based on their credentials, at what level they're teaching and agreement with the client.
Competition. Once it starts becoming mainstream and it would force schools and governments to increase the wages of teachers if they want to keep their undivided attention and loyalty.
Positives:
Teachers could set their hours and so could teach online only as a side hustle.
More young people would choose to become teachers, or at least have a teaching degree on the side since they could potentially make a good income from it.
Unless a family can afford the expenses of sending their child to study overseas and get different life experiences, they could hire an online teachers for the relevant courses.
Cringy and courses for those with acquired tastes would get more love.
Tailor made classes.
Etc.
Potential Downsides:
Scammers are ever evolving and always find ways to exploit whichever system.
It removes the human element. Children and young adults should learn this way moderately.
Plans and intentions rarely go according to plan.
More young people would choose to become teachers, or at least have a teaching degree on the side since they could potentially make a good income from it. Quick saturation?
Etc.
Major Hurdles:
As you can imagine educational institutions and probably others won't like such an abrupt change and will try to fight it but as they say once the cat's out the bag;
DClassEd - The Dapp:
Common, admit it. You knew this is where we were heading. It's after a lot maturation of both industries that these 2 technology finally do their crossover.
The Dapp's name, we'll bridge that reach when we cross it. It sure will be interesting to see which reward models will be used. Will teachers tip(upvote) their students based on participation, attendance, homework or quizzes.
Would it even be legal and/or to tip the children you teach? If not, would such tip be diverted to that kid's fund to be used for something else like food, water, equipment if in a poor region and for university funds if that kid's family is better off financially? Would paying young children for what they're supposed to do lead them to loving money a tad too much?
So many questions, so many uncertainties but just remember this, nothing ever goes according to plan. Yes I see the irony in this post.
