Title: Should bitcoin be introduced into the educational sectors
Post by: Lordrift on September 18, 2020, 04:04:10 AM
Good day guys, I'm here to discuss your different views and opinions if bitcoins should be infused into educational institutes. Although I personally think that if such action is taken, Bitcoin economy will expand and more traders will come into the crypto market with these few points:
Bitcoins a completely decentralized digital currency built with the knowledge of its unidentified creator Satoshi Nakamoto, Roughly 12 years ago the knowledge of this currency was know to only a group of internet surfers but over the years as more individuals were told about this so did the bitcoin economy grow and the current market capitalization of the economy is estimated at about $117.81 billion. Businesses both big or small have decided to integrate the bitcoin platform into their activities. Thus making useful change within the bitcoin economy.

The decentralized nature of bitcoin is made possible with the P2P protocol creating autonomous transactions which helps in attracting the attention of investors to itself.

The payment system on the platform can allow users to avoid issues like double spending.


All these talk balls down to the fact that bitcoin economy has greatly improved due to communications and information over the years and why I was in school, I had no one to tell me about the crypto world but when I came across @Chris Barth

Although I suspect you may very well know him he told me about the community especially the bounty section but my point is this students have no one to do this in their various schools and countries. And I will continue to support and promote bitcoin in any means I can.
Feel free to drop your different perspectives and correct me where I'm wrong.

To answer your topic question: It probably needs to be introduced on related subjects/courses like investing and finance and computer science in general.

But what needs to be more emphasized in schools in my opinion, is internet security in general. Not only does it help with the security of future bitcoiners, but also with internet users in general. As we move more and more to the digital space, internet security just becomes more and more important.

Just bitcoin? I don't think so. It's better if schools would start with introducing blockchain technology and how industries are adopting to this new technology  and integrating them into their system. In fact, there are some universities that are already offering blockchain courses https://www.accounting-degree.org/college-cryptocurrency-blockchain-courses/. I don't know the scope of the courses but perhaps cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are also discussed in passing.

I agree. Buying Bitcoin sounds easy, but going through the hoops from securing your private keys to actually finding a reliable platform isn't simply a walk in the park.

Definitely daunting for those old school generations.

It would be possible but there should be a representative for bitcoin system to introduce it in formal education and explain why there is a need to include bitcoin in their curriculumn.

As much as I learn about eduction system in their curriculum guides are basing on the teachers compilation to address the students capability basing on their age to learn. It will undergone a lot of modifications subject for change and improvement until such it will be approve to all as a standard guide together with textbooks and teachers manual. The teacher will then make their lesson strategy on how to introduce the topic depending on the way how will learners learn fast that sometimes teacher will provide a differentiated activities that will adhere all the students capability in a classroom setting.

If bitcoin may introduce it does mean that bitcoin should be safe to consumers for consumption. However, we know what risk bitcoin brings to its consumer due to its market volatility. I do not think it is safe for secondary level to introduce bitcoin but it could be to tertiary level in their last years of schooling before graduating.

In my opinion introducing bitcoin to formal education may lead to negative impact to the students. They can  learn to invest but also they can go it all wasted and lost their funds. What source of income do they have to invest if they will be open for investment? We cannot see for now that bitcoin is really needed to introduce into formal education because others are seeing bitcoin as good investment and others are not.

However, in the future if we will be able to emphasize what good it brings to the community like seeing bitcoin as an option for payments, doing transactions online, a decentralized system where government could not interfere for privacy purposes, and government to allow this kind of system provided that consumers knows what risk ahead if consumer will pursue in joining bitcoin. For now, other countries does not allow the use cryptocurrency to protect the safety of the consumers or the community. We could not blame the government for this because it is their mandate to protect and promote safety and welfare to the community. This is why other countries ban the use of cryptocurrency system.

Yeah like I said I stand to be corrected
Introducing block chain technology to tertiary institutions is probably the best way of educating the masses and most of these courses are not offered in school around my locality.
So I guess it's up to me to enlighten them

But I definitely agree on the fact that a lot of stress is involved in securing and procuring your private keys on the platform. But with the right words, things can be made easy for them.

I doubt those "old school generations" are going to go back to school and start learning how to secure bitcoin lol.
It is not as "dauting" as you think. Securing your wallet is like securing your credit card and sensitive bank information. You don't hand it over to others. You keep it to yourself in a safe secure place. If someone knows how to use paypal to send and receive coins, it will be a piece of cake for them to send or receive bitcoin. Again, those old school generation people has nothing to worry about their transaction getting reversed or their account getting block for no reason like paypal.

I agree with this Bitcoin is just a product of blockchain so I think blockchain technology is on of the important things to discuss when introducing to educational sectors.
I didn't know that some universities are offering a blockchain course it's a good way to educate the community by letting them know what is it and apply it
to physical businesses or works.

ya.ya.yo!

Funnily enough, these security problems ain't only from the older folks. Even the younger internet-savvy people have been too comfortable with username:passwords accounts that there's a good chance that there's a good chance that even the younger folks will be leaving their funds in custodial exchanges; or something like saving their 12-24 word seed on a centralized server like on their email address or their phone's app.

I'd rather push for a privacy and decentralization class than strictly Bitcoin. General education is more important imo. If people learn to appreciate the two, it gets much easier to have someone understand why BTC is important.

Classes about economics could implement at least a brief history of BTC though. Would probably be interesting for many to have a side-by-side comparison of BTC vs other assets and commodities.

I think this is not yet the time to have a subject or courses that focus on bitcoin alone because it depends on every university if they are going to introduced it into their school. Also government is one of the hindrance to expand the knowledge about crypto. But as what you have said it was blockchain technology is the most important to introduced first because bitcoin and other cryptocurrency is just a part of blockchain technology.

In my university, some of my schoolmates are already using the bitcoin way back 2016 but only a few them realize the worth of it and recently this year our organization invites a speaker and the main target is the blockchain how does it benefit and also one of my classmates ask him if there is a relation on bitcoin and the topic changes into making an investment with the use of it just segue of the topic.

Now most of us are using the cryptocurrency right now but some of them just ignore the use of it so it feels bad they can't relate how to bring enjoyment to earn with this crypto.

Self-study there is no course relayed on us with the use of bitcoin.


Title: Re: Should bitcoin be introduced into the educational sectors
Post by: LogitechMouse on September 18, 2020, 09:28:58 AM
It "should" be introduced no doubt.
The problem is that teachers doesn't even know what is Bitcoin or worse some of then didn't even hear this word.

I'd like this to be introduced but I'm not expecting for it to happen. Instead of hoping that Bitcoin will be introduced in schools by teachers, it would be better if you will just make a self-study regarding Bitcoin. Just knowing the basics of it is enough but if you know the complex side of it then it would be better.

IMO, it isn't time yet to introduce bitcoin to education sectors especially by adding courses in schools that teaches the use of bitcoin. Because for me, we need not to learn this in school. We can already learn by ourselves since there's already tons of learning material, tutorial on the internet. What I can see for educational institution to focus more is the development of blockchain tecnhology as it could be use to build decentralized applications which are immutable, and free from hacking.

And there are already online classes tackling blockchain technology like in coursera - https://www.coursera.org/specializations/blockchain

Also, one article last year wrote about 9 global universities offering crypto and blockchain courses -

https://medium.com/amcgroup/9-global-universities-offering-crypto-and-blockchain-courses-1ba2d78b4019

So it is already in the academe and definitely, they will mention bitcoin at some point of the lecture. Just like the first course offered in NYU - “The Law and Business of Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies.”

I like the idea of crypto being introduced to the younglings because it is the future currency and so they are. However, they shouldn't focus on Bitcoin but on the whole Blockchain system. I want it to be introduced simply because if people will become literate regard Crypto we could avoid unnecessary action in dealing with these coins like FUD and FOMO. Crypto was easy and fun to explore but it requires interest and willingness to learn otherwise you won't learn it. As a matter of fact, you can learn crypto without any help an institution coz you can do it yourself though, I mean there's a lot of learning material online that can be helpful.

Agree to your reasoning, we're focusing more on the currency instead of the technology that drive the currency to function flawlessly. There's more to explore that's yet to be discovered in the blockchain technology and if these were to be studied, experimented on, the technology would be perfected in no time. Without the technology, I don't think the concept of decentralized transaction would had been made possible.

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't think there are more emphasis on studying fiat currency been discussed in school instead the finance system is, so it shouldn't be any different with the Blockchain industry. It would be more beneficiary this way.

There are institutions in my country now that offers crypto seminar or courses to those who want to learn and to know cryptocurrencies, it tackles mostly the idea of blockchain. It can help many students to think of what career they wanted as well to learn how to invest early by identifying the right crypto invest with as long as they are guided by those traders who are already familiar with it, it's the best time to let some adults know how to trade and take advantage on the nebefits of the market.

I'd say only on courses mainly tackling about finance, economics and politics, but not all courses. Those are the only subject areas where bitcoin will be needed, given that it is already considered an emerging financial tool that even top investors and countries are already acknowledging. Perhaps they can add it on the 'experimental' side of finance in the mean time since the overall implementation of bitcoin in the industry is not yet really seen. For lower years, I don't think it is necessary for them to be exposed in these kinds of things though it will be best if they will be taught some basic knowledge about keeping their money safe.

Most academe are not yet ready for teaching bitcoin and its concept to their students since we still lack professionals who have the credentials to teach the subject in a non-biased yet understandable way. That's why I believe a teaching profession in the field of disruptive tech and blockchain would be a nice thing to get certified on.

And the school must give it to a teacher who knows what exactly Bitcoin and the whole Blockchain technology is, because if they will just randomly make it a subject and ask a professor who doesn't have any backgrounds on cryptocurrency, I think it's pretty useless.

But if this will be teach in school, students will start ti decrease in my opinion since they are earning big already and they are not in school. Just like me (grins)

Bitcoin is great but I think Blockchain technology is better.

I was asked in a school about it and it is kind of embarrassing since they just asked me spot on about it. But what I am more surprised is that usually, people ask about Bitcoin and how they could earn from it but these people are asking about Blockchain technology and how they function. It is being introduced but in a way that they are not being pressured to know it. I was asked three times about it since they are telling me they just knew it is "the technology behind a digital coin" as they said it.

I do really think that it should also be introduced in schools, not only bitcoin but also blockchain and the whole cryptocurrency because it's part of the innovation that can be adopted in an economy. Just like what others said, this can be introduced in some related courses. For example, once the cryptocurrency becomes legal in a certain country, some businesses will adopt bitcoin and of course, finance-related courses should learn about this too. But it'll just take some time before we can see it being taught and added in the curriculum.

They can do any of that depending on what path the student is taking as long as it's related to their courses.

It is a very good idea that Bitcoin was introduced in the education sector, because in my opinion Bitcoin should be studied as early as possible.
Because Bitcoin was the first to introduce blockchain technology, and it would be very useful if Bitcoin and blockchain technology could be studied
by students. So it will make Bitcoin's growth even faster. After all, Bitcoin can make a boost to a country's economy.

Funny thing is.... by the time when the education system decides to add this to their curriculum, Bitcoin would have to be added to "History" subjects.  ;) 

Also, kids would be teaching teachers on the subject... because most of the kids are already using Crypto currencies to buy things online and also to do things that they cannot do with their parents credit cards. (Accessing Paid2View Porn or Online Gambling)  ::)

Should it be added..... YES for sure... something as revolutionary and disruptive as this technology, should definitely be part of their curriculum.  ;)

Bitcoin is a new technology and an additional part of computer programming that has been able to create a revolution in the global economy. I am sure that in the coming years, Bitcoin can be a part of the discussions in many educational institutes. If bitcoin teaches in educational sectors many people will gonna benefits from it. Gaining another level of knowledge in order to know the new way of currencies in our world. it enables the next generations to understand the crypto world better and make solutions to the challenges that forthcoming.

Almost correct. It actually depends on the country and the teachers.
In my case I remember that at the "Operating Systems" classes the teacher insisted more about long defunct things (punch cards' era) and at the end he said some quick words about Linux and MS DOS, while at another class we did Windows programming.

In more evolved education systems Bitcoin is already getting in slowly (there was at least 1 teacher coming in here for advises). And boy, there are enough things to discuss / teach / learn on this subject, from the underlying blockchain (and cryptography) to finances (finite supply coins), trading (including patterns), legislation, ...

As OP stated, most education systems may not be ready for this. But that won't take long. We are (still) in the information age after all, teachers can research easier for their classes and the newer generations will get more and more interested in this.

Why not if they want, it should be on the field of commerce courses that under any field of, Economics, management, Finance, and banking system. That's what I have seen in the future educational curriculum that may apply. However, the government will still not all this I guess, because we know bitcoin is an unregulated digital currency and may harm the government in the worldwide banking system.

But bitcoin concepts teaching are not quite popular because they were still studying this. Who knows time will come there will be a courses that related to crypto in the whole education sector.

You are right. Imagine the young ones already making those mistakes, think about how the elders are struggling to cope with such logic.

They could avoid parking their funds on the exchange but then they might fall victim to an elaborate social engineering scam.

Even I made a cardinal mistake of leaving mine on an exchange as I was lazy to bear the fees and the waiting time each time I wanted to transfer them, although thankfully the exchange wasn't hacked "yet" back then.

I believe that the answer is: of course, Bitcoin should be talked about in the education system. It should be introduced in schools on IT or Economics classes (and as far as I know, cryptocurrencies and Blockchain are already a part of the advised high school Economics curriculum in France). There should also be talks about Bitcoin in occasions where money is explained to children (so that they know there's a new kind of money). Moreover, professional courses should be offered at universities (and are already offered in some countries, including my own (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5238929)). Not to mention that since knowing Blockchain is one of the most scarce skills according to LinkedIn, there should be more places where a person could focus on Blockchain and cryptocurrencies specifically.

I definitely agree with the idea introducing Bitcoin on schools. But I think it shouldn't be limited to Bitcoin. Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies in general should be introduced. More people should start getting to know about the industry. With the help of a nice education system, I believe that the industry will start developing faster than ever.

Yea.. I can definitely see that happening. A cryptography or an economics teacher introducing bitcoin as a sort of ponzi scheme experiment or probably just call it a straight-up scam lol. Expect to get a lot of similar opinions especially in the near to mid term future that having bitcoin in the educational sectors will probably just do damage and steer people off it. I don't think the phrases "any publicity is good publicity" fits that greatly in this case.

When it comes to educational sectors about bitcoin or putting it as one of a subject in schools is i think a nice idea in order to give students a knowledge and idea about cryptocurrency and also bitcoin.

Bitcoin is already getting popular in a lot of countries and a lot of people could totally see it as a future currency, that is why i think we need to teach it to student as it might be the future technology, still i think their is no need for a whole subject for cryptocurrency or bitcoin, for me putting it as a topic or just having a few discussion about it just to give the basic knowledge of cryptocurrency and bitcoin to students is already enough.

And then it is all depend to the students if they wanted to also learn the advance things about bitcoin or if they just want to buy and invest in cryptocurrency.

First we need to teach people about the economics in the school level itself,some part of the world is doing it but still no one doing it intensively that is why more people don't have awareness about the importance of investment not the money.And also if they are clear with economy then we can see more entrepreneurs compared to current ratio.

People need to be educated about the technology and not about bitcoin. When blockchain and it's advantages were taught in the schools, automatically people will get to know better and better about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

We haven't got a perfect pathway for cryptocurrency, that means everything isn't legit at present. When everything is streamlined to function perfectly bitcoin can be introduced to the education. Right now when bitcoin is taught, it means we're also educating about the rest of the cryptocurrencies.

If it will be that easy, I am pretty sure that those behind the bitcoin and developers are already in the process of making it into reality but right now they are facing too much hurdles where this kind of situation will likely to happen in the future but as of this moment there is a very less chance that bitcoin can be legally introduce to the educational sectors.

Even in the countries who fully accept bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, I still didn't hear that they already introduce bitcoin in their educational sectors.

yes as of now the chance is less to be accepted even at countries where btc is already legalized and the chance of btc getting accepted to non accepted countries are ofc zero .this is not easy , that is why people behind bitcoin are now working thru it . they understand those issues that has a conflict with bitcoin and they think of possible solutions to solve it .

Even in the countries who fully accept bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, I still didn't hear that they already introduce bitcoin in their educational sectors.
that only means that your not updated because there is a thread here before that shows that there are now schools , universities or online class rooms that have a bitcoin/crypto as one of thier subhect and courses .

This question has been asked before on this forum in the year 2017 if i remember correctly

I believe for the world and the education sector to embrace the innovation of blockchain, to understand its potential and also put it to use. Bitcoin and blockchain have to be introduced into the educational sectors and we have seen some universities in the US and EU region (an example are Edx, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Nicosia, Stanford University etc) that already course for blockchain and cryptocurrency.

It wouldn't be disastrous to do. Because day by day everything is getting updated and Bitcoin may spread everywhere in the near future. So it would be wise to introduce Bitcoin in the education sector. But blockchain is a big platform. Therefore, the need for this vocational education along with traditional education is undeniable.

I think it will be best if it will be introduce to the students who are already inclined to such topic, I won't even recommend btc, I think the best way is to start with the blockchain technology, and of course bitcoin will be a part of it. Blockchain technoloy should really be introduced to students who are inclining to be involved in industries such as computer programming. It will also be important to start with teaching financial literacy to the students.

I may find it weird to teach bitcoin to random students, it feels like you are making them learn a thing that doesn't really interest them. So it's best if the students are enrolled in courses who are in this industry. They will have to learn it either way.

For me is a great idea for a lot of countries that are already adopting cryptocurrencies. A lot of people just need to learn about cryptocurrency so it is a good move to put a subject about cryptocurrencies in schools or universities. Students are the future and bitcoin or cryptocurrency technology believed to be the future currency around the world it would definitely make sense for a lot of students to learn it in school. Or maybe it can be adding in economics subject so that their is no need to create a new course for it.

Cryptoccurrency is already sub-course in some of the universities especially department of banking and finance.looking at bitcoin in particular i hope it deserved to add in university curriculum so that people will not be able to find it difficult to analyse  and understand the concepts of bitcoin.
This course "crpto bitcoin" have to make official to everyone that's interested to learn btc. And most especially this course have to be attached to entrepreneurship course to enable students to develop interest quickly.

It is the blockchain technology that will have to teach in school, not Bitcoin. Because this could be useful in the other areas and understanding Bitcoin isn't really hard AFAIK.

This has been discussed already and upon reading on previous replies, it finds not necessary.
But anyway, it is our choice to teach Bitcoin in the community, in a certain number of people that would like to listen to you. Because not all have giving interest in this and so it was useful if we only teach those people who are willing and those open-minded individuals.

Education about bitcoin and currency is essential. Developed countries have brought blockchain and bitcoin to education in their educational programs from elementary to university. The future of cryptocurrencies is very positive and could become the technology that changes the entire world's financial system.
Education about bitcoin, blockchain will help create a new generation of crypto developers in the future.

I think that in education all the mechanisms must be integrated so that they know bitcoin and its technology, it is much more necessary today to fight against that thought of the authoritarian system where they do not teach business or real estate, that is, investment and / or market speculation.

In Venezuela there is a teacher who teaches her students about bitcoin and its technology, in fact, in June in the local Spanish forum I talked about it here: Profesora venezolana utiliza Bitcoin para motivar a sus alumnos (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5254245.0) you can visit it so you can observe the opinions.

I think it would really be necessary and essential to include and introduce Bitcoin as well as the block chain technology into the educational sectors to educate young minds about the existence of such. It is essential be done of course we are already facing into the fast pace of continuous improvement in modern technology where specifically crypto currency is located and can be accessed. As young minds are learning to effectively use modern technology, then they must better know about the essential things that technology have provided which is Bitcoin and the whole block chain technology. This would make a clear appearance of a bright future that a knowledgeable individuals who know how to effectively use block chain technology would arise once this was done on educational institutions.

Maybe as for now only those nations who widely accepted and adapted crypto can do such thing but for those who are still not, high hopes that soon as time goes by, there could be a possibility that it would make happen to educate young individuals to better know about Bitcoin and block chain technology.

Good day guys, I'm here to discuss your different views and opinions if bitcoins should be infused into educational institutes. Although I personally think that if such action is taken, Bitcoin economy will expand and more traders will come into the crypto market with these few points:
Bitcoins a completely decentralized digital currency built with the knowledge of its unidentified creator Satoshi Nakamoto, Roughly 12 years ago the knowledge of this currency was know to only a group of internet surfers but over the years as more individuals were told about this so did the bitcoin economy grow and the current market capitalization of the economy is estimated at about $117.81 billion. Businesses both big or small have decided to integrate the bitcoin platform into their activities. Thus making useful change within the bitcoin economy.
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcShw0NLKB7kzdJb39cyozw4xCsxrTnEhgcINg&usqp=CAU

The decentralized nature of bitcoin is made possible with the P2P protocol creating autonomous transactions which helps in attracting the attention of investors to itself.

The payment system on the platform can allow users to avoid issues like double spending.


All these talk balls down to the fact that bitcoin economy has greatly improved due to communications and information over the years and why I was in school, I had no one to tell me about the crypto world but when I came across @Chris Barth

I believe that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies should be introduced into the education system around the world, because this phenomenon has already become part of the cultural and financial life of a person in the new time. Of course, we have knowledge about blockchain and cryptocurrencies in General, but they need to be structured and clearly stated within the framework of some course at the faculty of Finance. This will give a huge boost to the market.

I think bitcoin shouldn't be taught in schools most especially in lower years because the students couldn't understand that topic most especially if the student is minor or in a stage of adolescent. If this will be teach I think it should be in college level, because students in college level are already open minded.

Should Bitcoin be introduced in educational sectors? I say why not. Although it would depend upon the courses offered by an institution, and if this topic is related to the nature of the course. But most definitely it has been tackled to some during their management courses, which is I think that this would be applicable for tertiary level.

Yep, it should be referenced in places where it fits, not as a whole subject or something, there isn’t much to be taught about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is simply a decentralized currency and is being used for sending and receiving money and nothing much.

Unless you’re going to be talking about the Blockchain technology, I believe that there is a lot that should be taught on the topic of Blockchain, and these days it has become a hot topic and one of the areas where there are huge opportunities since a lot of companies are now looking to employ engineers that are skilled in Blockchain technology.

There is many related courses that is suit for bitcoin to be attached as a course,example: entrepreneurship and banking and finance because no university that does not teach entrepreneurship because looking at bitcoin transaction's it's really a business in other hands. So therefore I think bitcoin should link or attach to such course.

Yes, it must be in the right place for bitcoin lessons or education and it must have an adequate and easy way of thinking to understand each bitcoin lesson described.
and I think teenagers are more suited to bitcoin and university lessons which I think are more effective and easier to understand and will apply not only to practice but also theory.

To answer your topic question: It probably needs to be introduced on related subjects/courses like investing and finance and computer science in general.

But what needs to be more emphasized in schools in my opinion, is internet security in general. Not only does it help with the security of future bitcoiners, but also with internet users in general. As we move more and more to the digital space, internet security just becomes more and more important.
It would really be tackled as long it do talks about technology and internet security.Of course it would really be needed to be included on relevant subjects so that it would be fitted out in case if it would be added on the curriculum.There are already some universities or schools that do consider on adding it up but well all of these decisions will still vary on the government if they would really allow to be included on school subjects.

Here are the example that who have added Bitcoin to their curriculum.
https://www.europeanbusinessreview.com/top-universities-who-added-bitcoin-to-their-curriculum/

Adoption is on the move but it wont really be possible for all countries due to government regulation and their insights towards cryptocurrencies.

It could be possiby imposed into educational institutions and be taught to students for we are already into the phase of modernization and having the advance technology around us that are being used by many people, it would be a great essential that students of this generation to know something about Bitcoin and the whole crypto currency as well. It is great to let children to learn about it while they were still young for the future resides and dependent on them. It is better to let them fully understand it on educational institutions so that they can fully and responsibly use it to the full extent and make everybody understand and learn it effectively. May we at least use the advent of technology to impose a kind of education that will let people to learn more about Bitcoin and crypto currency as a whole build up better understanding about it. But implementing it into educational sectors might be just possible right now for those countries that openly accept Bitcoin and crypto legally. For others, there is still a need for legalization and acceptance to be able to do that.

Blockchain technology should be also prioritized not only internet security, but also how data stored globally.

By this, maybe students and universities will have a prior knowledge towards transactions and how system works and record data in a specific storage.

Especially that bitcoin community is growing and any other cryptocurrency community is also booming these days. We all know that every one of us are going to universities and study the things that we want to pursue and probably we should make a way to help cryptocurrency to become studied by student and future investors.

Had also encountered some students that are doing studies regarding blockchain. In our country there were also some seminars that tackles mainly blockchain, particularly or most likely bitcoin is the front example.
Blockchain is already being taught  on some universities, but this is depends on a course. This is most likely being taught on computer based courses. It will spread even more as the world is adopting on modern blockchains.

I believe there are some teachers out there are starting to introduce Bitcoin to their students in their respective online classes. But before the pandemic began, there were some universities worldwide who are already starting to acknowledge Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.

In the Philippines, some popular universities have offered elective blockchain courses (which of course, Bitcoin is included in their curriculum). When I was one of the guest speakers in educating the teachers and students about the real use cases of Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, their dean have considered to propose to the upper ranks to implement Bitcoin and blockchain in their curriculum.

It may take a long while (especially that pandemic is slowing us down), but we will get there. There come a time that most of the universities and colleges have adopted Bitcoin in their curriculum.

You don't know how to pay bills fill forms take loans or run business since you were never taught.

And it can remove the negative stigma associated with Bitcoin, because the general public sees many scams happening in
the crypto world, think Bitcoin is bad. But if it is true that Bitcoin was introduced to the world of education, the teacher must be
someone who has good knowledge in the world of crypto, so it is not wrong to explain Bitcoin to students. I believe that if this is
done, it can accelerate the mass adoption of Bitcoin.

If you're fortunate to be from a country that accepted Bitcoin or adopt the said Bitcoin then you can talk about it course integration into higher levels of education. Believe me, if your country doesn't accept Bitcoin the government of your country won't consider it. Like my country Nigeria, the government have adopted Bitcoin as a digital asset but maybe they won't consider it be teach in higher education but hope to see the government taking proactive steps in this regard.

The importance of Bitcoin be taught in the school is very much needed because of it technicalities. Considering Bitcoin security and volatility it should be taught in schools for proper orientation. We have heard thousands of complaints about Bitcoin difficulties which if taught in schools will enhance their understanding about the technology.

Well, that is right. Bitcoin is a form of digital money and it is considered as valuable digital stuff like money and I think teaching students how bitcoin works and the usage of the technology that bitcoin has is a good decision. Financial management like teaching basic information on how to become a good businessman and good investors should really helpful if this will be implemented in different educational sectors. They also understand how to manage risk, this could be interesting to talk regarding decentralized finance and the centralized one, it really belongs to economics educational purpose.

There is a much needed implementation that education bodies needs to address about Bitcoin along with the blockchain technology. The problem is that I do not see this happening any time soon.
People are divided, and most don't believe in this new era of technology and digital currency. What's worse is that children in school should have also been learning about programming and AI, but the majority of schools fail to see the need for this. And, sadly this sets an example of how strong the resistance to change in education is but it also calls on the urgency for this unified decision - we need to prepare the future generation for what's to come.

As long as fiat exist, government or other institutions, will not introduce it. As it will harm their local currency, once the people realize how powerful, and valuable BTC can be, the same as Gold with a scarce and fix supply, that gives you freedom to your money, also with tons of opportunities to earn from it. It would be the downfall of the stock market.

Even lectors have no idea about cryptocuurrencies or if they have, in 99 cases they say just rumors that they have heard like: crypto is used for money laundering, in black markets and all of the bad stuff is done via bitcoin. When I hear this kind of proposals from people, I have serious debate with them.
So, in universities it must be really included in programs, it's very necessary for upcoming managers, business administrators, economists and etc.

It is mentioned in Computer Science, and related degrees already. However, I've yet to see a non specific Bitcoin degree have a module solely on the Blockchain. Although, I know there are universities within the United Kingdom which do case studies on the Blockchain within the course syllabus. Honestly, growing up, and looking at the early stages of education money, and finance needs to be introduced in a practical way. I honestly, believe that taxes should be taught from a early age, because of something which you'll always be subjected too you never learn about. Especially, when its such a complex task to do. However, as we all know the majority of your education life is teaching you how to be a good employer, and not what you're suppose to use during your life. The system is broken, and I don't see Bitcoin being implemented effectively until there's a complete change in both the attitude towards cryptocurrencies in general, and the education systems structure.

As of now we've got lot of awareness about bitcoin and the technology behind it. As the blockchain technology can be used on any of the  sector, it is sure to add bitcoin and the blockchain to the educational sector. The blockchain technology can be used in the management requirements, to make everything function precisely without error and the third party involvement.

These days we've got theoretical classes, but there isn't not much of practical guidance. Blockchain technology needs to be taught with the practical use and the future developments. Only then the learning will be more effective, or else the learning will be blank just holding a degree without any use of it.

I agree with your opinion.  At one time no one knew anything about bitcoin.  Bitcoin was limited to a small group.  But now Bitcoin has spread all over the world.  People around the world have learned about this bitcoin.  Now the knowledge of this bitcoin should be spread more widely.  School, college, and university curricula should include a chapter on bitcoin and blockchain.  Like you, I believe bitcoin will be the only medium of digital transactions.

Well it's not just mainly about the usage of bitcoin, or to spread the knowledge regarding the usage of bitcoin. The technology itself is the thing that should be learned. It's different from ""you can use it to buy anything without the presence of any third party"".

The general reason why this should be implemented is to have a positive development of this technology in the future.

Learning of bitcoin should start with the basic aspect of the technology which can be incorporated into the high schools curriculum so that the students in that category can have a first hand or introductory part of the technology, while the complex part should be taught in the Universities.
Experts in Blockchain technology are in high demand globally, this technology is gaining ground and wider acceptability across the globe due its capabilities in proffering solution to problems in almost every sector of the economy e.g chain supplies, Medicine, Election etc
