Monday dawned bright and early. Crypto Class was having Circle Time with their teacher, Ms Satoshi. New World Academy had just embarked on the Growth Mindset model with its students this year. Ms Satoshi wanted her students to discuss their aspirations for the future so that they could set goals proactively to bring them to fruition.

"I just celebrated my 10th birthday this year," Litecoin shared enthusiastically, "I know that people see me as the shadow of Bitcoin (steals a glance at his big brother) but I just hope to continue to do my best. I know that more and more people are counting on me for micropayments."

"Geez, I feel so flattered," Bitcoin gave a rare smile. "Honestly, I have feeling so much stress lately. China has introduced the digital yuan and so many countries like Singapore are planning to introduce their own Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). Will people still find me relevant in the future?"

"Well, maybe you got to think about how you can evolve and upgrade yourself," Ethereum couldn't resist taking a sly smile at his closest competitor, "I mean, I am currently undergoing a transition from the Proof-of-Work to the Proof-of-Stake protocol so as to enhance my competitiveness. Why don't you try doing that?"

Bitcoin's face instantly darkened. It was as if lightning had struck inside the classroom. Ms Satoshi knew that she needed to intervene at this point. Otherwise, a fight would break out. 

"Okay, thanks for your sharing, everyone. Let's end here and begin with the lesson proper," she hastily said.
