Bitcoin Forum

Most of us here are aware about the term Bitcoin but how many have told their children about the same? I have came across some threads in which members have hinted that they are setting up wallets for their kids and even kids mining some coins for huge profits at an early age.But they all have learned it through some source and it's good to teach the children about bitcoin even not too technically but some kind of methods like book reading which could benefit them more in future.

I was just wandering across the twitter when i saw @realbitcoinmagzine post in which they have shared an image of children learning about the basic of Bitcoin in one of the School in Slovakia and just shared it in WO thread also and here is the reference from the same:


The book they are reading is this one :


It's available on Amazon easily in different formats.

Slovakia is country in Central Europe and have an estimated population of 5.4 million only and it's the best tourist place for castle lovers and what is Slovakia is best known for as it has more than 180+ castles and 425 chateaux.If this small country can take this big step why can't we? We also need to educate our children and make them familiar with bitcoin but in an interesting way as many like technology these days if all not and to educate them so they know about true financial freedom.This is the change what we all were wanting and btc has come a long way to this.Happy to see this school making bolf move.

I have to say this is pretty cool.  School in my opinion has been long over due for an overhaul with its curriculum. When I went to grade school I can’t remember ever having learned about some sort of financial product. Funny thing is I actually have a copy of this book they are reading.

I'd definitely buy that, the fact that the book has a friendly approach to grade schoolers and having an actual plot makes it pretty much effective, I agree that kids must learn Bitcoin, and this is quite an efficient way to help them familiarize Bitcoin easily and how it functions the same as fiat but different in an entire aspect.

Wow, it's looking good and pretty cool to see the children are reading and knowing about bitcoin from an early age. Yes, it's a good move and can be considered as building a better nation with good motive, because there they will also learn about its bad impact and they can aware from it later. Thinking to see it all over the world very soon.

Welp, even up to my high school, financial related subjects particular was not part of the curriculum on my school IIRC, all just generics thoughts.

It's just great that this was already thought to these kids.

How was it? Is it child friendly? I wonder what kind of words the author used to describe bitcoin or cryptocurrency as general.

My personal opinion is that it is unnecessary to expose children to such information, because it is simply too early for them to be burdened with it. It is quite one thing to read a book, and quite another to understand what it is all about - and it is even worse if the person who needs to clarify these things is not an expert at it. I don't know how the book is conceived and how the teachers are trained, but from the fact that someone lives in ignorance, the worse thing can only be that they learned something completely wrong.

Children should first be taught online literacy, and how to recognize scam, and only then introduce them to Bitcoin - otherwise there will be a lot of sad stories on the Internet, maybe even some on this forum in the future.

I guess this is good as a basic introduction to Bitcoin, I would hope that they
are also being schooled in computer literacy and coding in particular along with
the dangers associated with the web.

I guess these kids are 7, 8 or 9 years old? I would hope they learn more and more
as they progress to higher classes.

Overall its a good idea if executed correctly and balanced with other relevant material.

Wow! I'm so amazed and surprised that they really came up with this idea and how they really took a bold move to include bitcoin to be taught in school. Well done, Slovakia! There's absolutely nothing wrong with teaching young students about bitcoin at schools especially at the early age because as early as they read it, their memory will eventually be familiar about bitcoin and maybe they want to learn more and starts to do some research when they reach middle school.
Who would've have thought that learning bitcoin is fun, and they even made a kids book. It's not a burden to pass knowledge about bitcoin, instead it's an honor to share about it.

The weird thing is that there is no backstory alongside the image. I’ve looked through the whole Twitter thread and sought through www, but alas came back empty handed. The image unfortunately does not tell us if the book was used for promotional purposes within the classroom, whether this is a one-off or a regular presence in that school/more schools, whether is down to a nerdy teacher’s interest, or whatever. Context matters ...

The author may have chosen to use the word bitcoin to sell the book. A book cannot be judged by it's cover. I saw this thread on twitter too. But, could find nothing but hypes of bitcoin and the country that took such a step. It could be a business study book, c'mon how will kids go about bitcoin, what exactly is in the book for them to understand.

I ask myself, where exactly is the book centered so as to cement it's contents on the brain of these kids, could it be blockchain technology, trading, mining, development etc, every niche attached to bitcoin is complex for kids to understand.

What if the school concealed her intention just to trend on the internet at large.

Oh man this is simply put forth as astounding way to boost youth awareness regarding the bitcoin and more or less crypto space itself. It’s worth noting that they are too young and it’s good because this is the age when they grasp most of the things deep rooted in the brains. This also makes them think with different angles and theories as they grow bigger. This is definitely life changing for those kids who are holding and gaining the knowledge from that book.

The basics is where everything starts really. Many of them surely will become next satoshi might reinvent the blockchain in whole new ways and might make it brighter for the globe. I’m just simply liking this idea a lot.

There are classes that work just like book clubs, they pick a book and everyone either has to do a study on them by next week or it's analyzed during schools hours, it depends on what is based foreign literature or history or even arts.
I assume by the age of the kids that this was done during the technical classes that are still mandatory in some primary schools, as there is no mandatory economics study before high school yet. Highly probably that it was a private school, those have a more flexible approach and can tech a few things outside the normal curriculum


Don't worry, it's a 20 pages illustrated book that is about the basics, nothing complicated.
The only problem with it might be that it kind of implies that everything other than bitcoin and decentralization is bad...apart from gold.

It's not just Slovakia but in Ukraine as well, generally parents are enrolling their kids in courses in where they learn about bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies and they also learn how to use cryptocurrencies, transactions, how the whole ecosystem is working as well, plus kids as young as 4-5 are enrolling in such courses, I was pretty shocked to see that happening. In India generally people are required to pass some courses on cryptocurrencies and bitcoins in their university if they are doing engineering degrees as well which I do think is really good from a professional standpoint..
Cryptocurrencies are here to stay and everyone knows that therefore I do feel like these things are going to grow and more and more people are going to get involved with them.. Amazing to see the progress of cryptocurrencies in professional sector.

Trying out to search in regards to this one too but i cant find out any proofs that would really justify or prove out that book is really containing about bitcoin information or  something like that so lets just take this some sort presumed bitcoin  basic learning from that country.Well, if this one turns out to be true then any news about adoption will always be a good news and hope that other countries
would make out the same recognition as well.

It appears that they've given that book to "older students (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FFcYCTVWQAQfpvm?format=jpg&name=small)" as well.

• While I was checking its price on Amazon, the following part caught my attention and I'm glad that more of these exist
  ^{- Having more children's books (by different authors), would lead to less inaccurate information (if they read all of them).}

I just finished listening to its audiobook version and judging by how short it was ^{[less than 16 minutes]}, I strongly believe it's the one I've bolded.
^{- I can't provide a link since I'm not sure if someone else, other than the author leaked it!}

After listening to the audiobook version, I've got that impression as well but in "this interview (https://fintech.tv/michael-caras-the-bitcoin-rabbi/) ^{[skip to 5:12]}", what the author said made slightly more sense.
^{Btw, there's something interesting on "4:20" of the above video ;D}

The book brings the story of some kids who needed a tool to trade with each other. At some point they are suggested to use bitcoin as currency. That is what the book cover says:

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71-c-5zpGqL.jpg

It's a fictional story to introduce kids to the existence of bitcoin, but I suppose it's not necessarily aimed to teach any technical or any other complex aspects of bitcoin. Some customers complained about this fact in the reviews. However they should keep in mind it's a book for young children...

Everyone knew it, education is the key to any form of transformation. When these kids learn about it, surely they'll try to use it for some needs. Things have been completely getting shifted digitally, by now such a learning will help for a big change. The initiative is really appreciable, and this needs to teach them well about the bitcoin usage on good and not for the bad. Only then it gets used for a healthy reason than on illegal things.

These days we've got more courses associated with blockchain in colleges and universities, but a direct learning about bitcoin in the school is really interesting and a must needed one.

This one is a surprise, it's a gymnasium called T. Akvinského, not really the religious school the name would imply but still a surprise. And yeah, it's a one-time event, probably more to promote the book, as I was saying some schools have a little more freedom in what to study so they could simply have this as a one-hour read.
That photo tells the whole story, obviously a staged event, probably by the book publisher.


He can say whatever he wants, what matters is what poeple reading it would understand and as you can see both you and me have got the same idea.

Anything that can entice kids into learning about money in early education is going to be a good thing, far too often it is ignored in early education when it is most useful - any long term investor will know that compounding over many years is a very powerful force. Hopefully it breaks down the technology powering Bitcoin but also educates on how other elements of finance, otherwise it might just look a bit gimmicky and discourage the actual teaching staff. It'd be interesting to see it called cryptocurrency rather than focusing on Bitcoin, as although it is the first there are many other currencies out there worth exploring and we don't want to limit them.

I agree that bitcoin should first be taught in schools but teaching it in grade school level it should be something in an interesting and most enticing way so that students may not feel bored learning about it. We all know that bitcoin is quite broad and complicated thing that's why its taught in higher levels like colleges and universities. But Slovakia has made this taught at a very young age, this is quite cool but very challenging on part of the teacher on how she will inculcate it on the young minds.

Is the Government of Slovakia aware of this? I don't think there's a ban issued by their central bank but they do not recognise it as a curency either. They will probably have a hard time explaining the risks of using BTC and its legal status later on hehe.

I cannot help but wonder what would be the next step for educating kids and the next generation. I could think of cartoons and other kid animations talking about bitcoin.

Hopefully, they'll be teaching the importance of managing your own money, and not blindly trusting another third party, i.e a bank. Its all well, and good teaching them about Bitcoin, but I'm not 100% sure that's completely relevant. At the moment, the vast majority of them will be using fiat, and of course in the future Bitcoin might have a more central role in the general public lives, but Bitcoin can be introduced into education when that is a fact, rather than speculation.

Although, I'm not trying to take a negative stance here, cryptocurrency whether it's Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency will definitely be a part of everyone's life in the future, and if anything they should be teaching students about how to avoid the common pitfalls when it comes to safety.

Maybe, right now, it is just a light introduction to these kids via cartoon comics. Just to have an idea what bitcoin is. Slowly, they will learn more about bitcoin and crypto in general. And that is the role of the academe if they are serious in integrating cryptocurrency in their curriculum. To have comprehensive education towards cryptocurrency and the risks involved.

if indeed the school supports it and the children can accept it well then that's a good thing because there are rarely schools that teach this kind of thing considering the development of bitcoin now getting better. it is true that as much as possible children start being introduced to bitcoin because it does not rule out the possibility that they can also use it in the future. As long as bitcoin still exists and continues to grow, it is hoped that they will be able to use it well in the future.

I think i need to purchase this Book for my nephews and my Daughter  ;D

if kids this young was being exposed to bitcoin , then why not ours? best to accumulate that book and let youngsters read it for them to have fast development and knowledge about this best currency ever created.

though there are a need for deeper evaluation and attention yet this is a great steps for us parents to act .

We should educate our children about the latest technologies. So Bitcoin become a part of the future economy and the current economy as well. It doesn't matter children will use that or not, but at least they should have a basic knowledge about Bitcoin and how it works. So in near future, anyone can't mislead them. It's a good initiative that Slovakia teaches basic things about Bitcoin in the classroom. If you create huge pressure then children won't learn anything. Once they will learn the basics thing so they will be more curious to learn more. Some of them might become specialists as well.

Anyway, I welcome Slovakia's initiative, if more countries include Bitcoin & cryptocurrency as a part of economical books then we would see a massive adoption near future. On the other hand, students will be familiar with Bitcoin from the beginning.

It is commendable I must say. This will go a very long way in the lives of those children and the country as a whole. The concept is so huge and there are endless possibilities around it, and introducing it to them at this early age is good.

Wow, I wish the government in our country will adopt crypto so bitcoin education will be included in the curriculum. I already see the bright future for these students, as long as they'll focus in crypto, they'll definitely find the best opportunity and they can also help build a good community.

One way to increase adoption is to promote crypto, I think these kids are smarter than some people who thought bitcoin is just an Ponzi scheme that's why they enter to invest.

I read some reviews on the book by Michael Caras....

"The kids in Bitville realize they need a tool to help them trade with each other. As they explore using different types of money, a strange boy moves to town and suggests a new idea...Bitcoin Money is a story for all ages which helps answer the question "Why Bitcoin?"

Source : Google Books

I think it is a brilliant idea to link the lemonade stand that are normally used for innovation by kids.. to introduce them to the idea that Bitcoin might be used as a payment option.  ;D   The youth of today, will be the future of tomorrow....  ;)

I hope that can attract awareness from the local authority to also learn bitcoin and allow their people to learn and use bitcoin.
If they can teach school students about bitcoin and they have a big interest in how to save their money in other forms, that can prepare their future because they will have an investment for the long term and they can sell their investment anytime.
That is good news in that country so it could attract another school to follow teaching their student about bitcoin.
But I am curious about what is inside that book because they are still young not many of them want to learn a serious thing, especially if that is related to money.

Teach them young and start them educating peoples money that will help them understand on how bitcoin will change the future payment system and it will be advantage for them on how bitcoin works and how to cope up with blockchain technology. This is a good sign of mass adoption and bitcoin education first hand.

I hope something like this happens in my country :D But it seems that in my country things like this will be very difficult to happen for now because there are indeed some government regulations that are not profitable for crypto, especially bitcoin in my country.
on the other hand I think things like this will be very good for supporting children's lives in the future.
Reflecting on crypto which does have a fairly high technology and is one of the businesses that can be recommended (in rough language) I think that with children learning this from an early age they are indirectly taught to keep up with technology so that they are not left behind and can compete there, on the other hand they are also educated to create their finances from an early age.

Yeah, I think Lucius has gotten too pessimistic, it doesn't necessarily have to be bad.


That's wonderful, it's actually a miracle. Even if it is too exaggerated or biased, it is not bad to counter the message we get from governments and central banks that whatever is not created and/validated by them is basically a scam.

Incredible.. two days ago I saw on my social media homepage people from various countries were busy giving their appreciation to this curriculum. children in our country should like them learn and teach bitcoin in schools. they are future leaders.

This is a very good start for the kids and for the future,been exposed fully to the bitcoin basics.
This will help increase the total number of kids involved in this,and great and better ideas can result from such kids likewise.
Some counties still wouldn't want the youths to do this, bloody cocksucker's in my country.

it seems the Slovak government is reading the future direction well. not to mention the bitcoin trend that is being talked about a lot in the world economy. Of course, more information is needed to introduce it to the public (especially those in schools) so that there is no misinformation.
the Slovak government, through education at a young age, applies good knowledge. because they know in the future something that some countries consider negative today will become a necessity that they use every day.
whether it is Slovakia's readiness to adopt Bitcoin or not. This knowledge is important to avoid misunderstanding the concept of bitcoin which is considered bad by some countries.

This is an interesting topic , while a small country in Europe starts educating their children about this new technology and currency , we are being leave behind.

I may try to educate my Son also about this and since the book is available online , it will be easy for me to purchase.

it is not about leading the world or the country but being adopted the new technology is what we needed for our children .

We will be able to start educating our children on bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, without the need for schools, on the forum we learn many things, all constantly evolving to study and apply. The more time passes the more interesting the speech becomes, in addition to the book we will be able to adopt a draft for children for 10 years, could it be an idea?

I really do not see the fuss even if the government does not recognize it.

I am sure your government and mine do not recognize a lot of things and yet schools teach it,,, maybe it could be for history like how we learnt about cowrie shells as a form of money in the past (but surely not recognized or legal nowadays). Maybe it could be for general knowledge. Even if Bitcoin was banned you would still be doing a good thing educating young kids about it so they do not end up going out into the world and wondering wtf is Bitcoin  ;D

How can I find the original tweet with this news? I am just curious if this really is learning Bitcoin basics or just one of English lessons, where kids read English book? Or, I dont understand school program. Why students in Slovakie ( basically 5-7 grade perpahs), where Slovak is an official language, study Bitcoin basics on English. I am sure that their ministry of education can translate this book to Slovak. But, even if this is just an English class, learning basics is wonderful.

I could not find a tweeter post as well as there's no @realbitcoinmagzine account, but I saw some post that says "credit to @realbitcoinmagzine Instagram post, so I search an Instagram account and see the account. https://www.instagram.com/realbitcoinmagazine/

Unfortunately, I could not use the search function using the word " Slovakia" because all posts are in photos.

Hope the principles/ideals of Bitcoin and its true purpose are taught them, because that's is the foundation upon which they can learn or grow quickly/properly in Bitcoin.
If you don't teach this, they could find it hard to cope with reality. .. The truth would probably end up bursting their little bubbles

When I worked at school, I told my students about Bitcoin. When I did it the first time in 2019 in 7th grade, they didn't know about Bitcoin at all. When I did it the next year in 6th grade, most said they were familiar with it, and even gave some estimates about the price (although the estimates were months old, it was still impressive). But in my country it's all up to individual teachers mentioning stuff to their students, of course, and there are no lessons which are supposed to be dedicated to Bitcoin or even Blockchain. Is it the same in Slovakia? I remember that France added Bitcoin to their school program nation-wide, and now I wonder if it's just a particularly progressive (and most likely private) school in Slovakia, from which the photo comes.

Here is a link to the original tweet: https://twitter.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1465063022112747534

If you take a closer look at the picture from that tweet, you will notice that the students are actually reading the book in Slovak, not English.

This book does not seem to be part of the formal curriculum in Slovakia, however, an initiative has funded 1000 books and donated them to over 100 schools in Slovakia through a successful crowdfunding campaign. You can read more here (https://www.startlab.sk/projekty/1771-ucme-deti-o-buducnosti-penazipodpor-knizku-bitcoinove-penia/).

And many others....
It's not a program by the government, there is no crypto or bitcoin curriculum introduced in any school, this is a one-time event book reading in a single school.


The book is translated in almost every language, as you can see from the title of the book in the pics, it's not in English.
As I said above it's not a government-issued book or a standardized course.

That aside, there are a lot of courses or seminars about crypt or blockchain already available in universities in Slovakia, for example at Tuke or at Mateja Bela, I don't know much about them but they are recognized in the credit system.

I think this is very correct. People need to be prepared for the fact that life is completely different now.

I also conducted a search, and what got into my answers directly says that the goal was precisely to draw the attention of people of different ages to Bitcoin at an elementary level.


https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/slovakians-in-a-classroom-learn-the-basics-of-bitcoin

And that ladies and gentlemen is a very good move that children should learn more about Bitcoin early. This reminds me 2 years ago that I was a keynote speakers of the crypto mass adoption roadshow in the Philippines, roaming around universities to educate the students about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. I wanna see some schools here in the Philippines that would finally adopt a Bitcoin subject not just to college students, but at least high school students would do.

It is awesome to see this. Schools cannot teach bitcoin because the education curriculum is being regulated by the Government and the Government of most countries is trying to kick against bitcoin so teaching cryptocurrency in school will only be possible in countries that have legalized bitcoin.

I mean, they are doing the right thing. After all, now everything goes online, cryptocurrency is developing, children also need to be taught from an early age to financial literacy in cryptocurrency, I think this will only benefit both children and this country. It is better to learn about cryptocurrency at school than after a few years, to learn about it and regret that there was no financial literacy in cryptocurrency before.

This kind of books really attracts young kids because of how decorative it is. The overall design really is intended for kids.
Well, as long as it is all about the basics of Bitcoin and they can understand it easily then there is nothing wrong. Maybe with this, we will see other schools in different countries do the same what do you think :).

Many here said that this program isn't from the government but maybe from the school/s themselves.
Well, I don't think too that any government will allow Bitcoin related curriculums for some reasons. Maybe El Salvador will be the first one to introduce it. We don't know :D.

Things like this will not happen in all countries. So, lucky for those who feel this way.
but it seems that it is starting to appear intensively carried out there because before this there were also some news that made things like this and of course this is a pretty good thing.
Are they planning to be more bitcoin friendly like elsavador did?
Interesting to see how it ends.

Nice one, better to let them know early what's bitcoin really is, before they can obtain wrong information anywhere. they're kids so it's a good move to educate them what are the benefits when it comes such assets especially how useful it is when it comes trading.. I see it seems a story books but yep it's a big help to spread the good information of bitcoin as well.. Big thumbs up to them..

They’ve placed another image on their Twitter, from what I presume is the same school:


The school is this one (https://www.gta.sk/), but I still didn’t manage to see a full depiction of the events. It does look like that precisely, a promotional event through some sort of bitcoin workshop, whereby the book is given to the students as part of the deal. But that's just my guess.

Honestly speaking, I was just watching the picture. And I am so happy to see that these little kids are reading the books with full curiosity. How much interest have they shown in the book? What is clearly seen in this picture? That's really interesting. I hope one day I will see this type of class in my neighbor's school. Just think, when all these people are grown, they all have the potential to be a millionaire. That means they are sitting in the future millionaire group. Though there are no facilities like this in my country, I am thinking of teaching my youngest brother about bitcoin. 

a very good step taken by the slovak government, because it applies bitcoin learning at an early age, maybe the slovak government realizes bitcoin will become very popular in the future, and can make a fantastic business, i also want my country to introduce bitcoin to elementary school children ..

teaching bitcoin to early childhood may be a very difficult challenge, because we know bitcoin is very complicated, requires extensive experience and a lot of knowledge, but teaching bitcoin to early childhood may have a very positive impact on their future , because they have mastered the basics of bitcoin, maybe if they go to college they will be easier to understand it all..

This is really a step in the right direction, for this children to know about cryptocurrency at this little stage is a great feeling. Kudos to their country for supporting cryptocurrency, some of us comes from countries where crypto is banned and anyone caught by the government engaging in crypto is haunted.

That’s good, this is the first time that I am really seeing a school that is teaching their students about Bitcoin. When I came across this it really made me happy seeing how a school has started teaching their students from a young age the basics of bitcoin. This will really go a long way to help as time goes on. It’s quite bad that I am the only one in my family that has shown interest in cryptocurrency.

Although I have my little brother and I have plans of teaching him about Bitcoin, I have been telling him about it, and I am hoping that as he grows he will develop interest. I have plans of opening a wallet for him and putting some coins in it for him to start with soon.

it's pretty cool, not many schools implement it and I think it's a great way to introduce bitcoin to kids. I also hope that here the children can learn it well in the hope that in the future they can use bitcoin. Bitcoin can be owned by anyone as long as they can manage it well. especially for the younger generation whose minds can be more open and intelligent. we know that the development of bitcoin is also getting better so as much as possible we prepare ourselves so that we can use bitcoin in the future well.

It was slowly taught in school and soon it become a part of the curriculum globally. Many got the interest in Bitcoin now because it was been told as a money generator. I'm not seeing this bad but they should never just think about earning a profit alone, they also have to know the risk about this. The more it feeds on the school and gives awareness to the community, the faster it brings the adoption process and this will also encourage oldies to learn about Bitcoin, about cryptocurrencies.

In my opinion, it is actually a good step at least to introduce about Bitcoin. And for those who think that it is too difficult for children, don't worry. I am sure that the writer and also the publisher of the books have concerned about how to package and introduce about Bitcoin in very easy ways and also explanations. Moreover that is a book for children They also pack the book nicely with some pictures.
of course, it will be understood by children more easily.

Even though it sounded technical and techier for the kids, for these young minds but it was going to believe that there is a way to make it simple and understandable. And besides, these new generations are already familiar with the computer which is easy for them to adjust and adapt to whatever it is if needed. But I think, what it teaches in school is only a picture of what we were able to get from crypto, the possible benefits, and what will be the impact on the community.

Curriculum wont really be focusing that much on technicals and of course they would really focus on with the basics on where those kids or students would able to understand it out directly.Its not really needed for them to know but only those key words and basic functionalities which is always been a good
news if we do see something like this on which they do apply it and adoption would even more on bigger scare since awareness
would be more.than it was before.

Great job to the one who created this book as well as to the ones who made it possible for this book to be admitted to schools. I haven't really taken a look at what's inside but it appears to me specifically tailored fit for young children. It appears colorful and attractive to a young kid.

How I wish my country's school would also start educating young brains about the rise of the good money. My country's educational system is archaic and is killing children's curiosity and innovation more than stoking their fire.

Indeed, the introduction of Bitcoin from an early age is very important, so I agree that in schools it is better to start being taught about Bitcoin.
So more and more people will benefit from Bitcoin, because for now the majority of the world's population still doesn't understand Bitcoin.
Even some people who are starting to join the crypto world, are still getting the wrong information, many people still think Bitcoin can provide
instant profit. That's why Bitcoin should be one of the curriculum in schools, so that young people can know everything about Bitcoin. So they not
only understand how to profit from Bitcoin, but they also know the risks of using Bitcoin. I believe that if young people are taught Bitcoin lessons
in school, the adoption process should accelerate in the future.

I do not have any idea whether the government of Slovakia has decided to include learning the basics of bitcoin in their curriculum. In that case, there is no point in protesting. Otherwise, the government should possess restrictions on that. Student life is for gathering education, making a career, and fun. Trading and earning should not be their goal as minors.

well, they are taught about the digital financial development system in their schools, that is something that we rarely encounter in schools today. however, it seems that children do need to learn this technology so that they can try to develop their minds before actually getting into the crypto world. actually, it would be great if they learn about blockchain, because it is the heart of the crypto world, however, it seems too heavy for the kids considering I don't really understand it myself LOL.
however, this is a very good development.

Not only your country but most of the Schools around the globe are pushing more pressure on other area of interest and completely putting the pressure on children's for the same killing their co-circular activities skills.They need to introduce some valuable courses that could help them in real life rather than focusing on same traditional subjects being taught form ages.I am not saying it's wrong but giving them knowledge about bitcoin is fantastic and this book is about just fundamentals and that's all way more simple than what they are telling at schools with those heavy set of books.

See i don't know whether they have done it to publicly show and were not actually teaching it but still they have given pretty much attention to the subject that Bitcoin is not a bad thing as many governments have illustrated it and making small kids familiar with it is going to improve their future if they know about true monetary aspect of life.Even if we say it was advertising stunt there is benefit association with it as more and more people come to know about these books which people could buy from Amazon for their kids and btc will be in demand again.

For those who ask whether government know about the same or not i would say that Slovakia government has not recognized it as legal and have no regulations but still you can trade with your own consent and risk like in some countries and doing the same is not an offence.

That's cool, I'm also wondering if my country will create a curriculum for elementary school students to learn Bitcoin early on.

Currently the government in my country, especially education officials, as far as I know he is an intellectual who is familiar with the internet world, such as: Blockchain, crypto etc., so far the government has implemented online learning through an online 'teacher room', there are various methods that can be discussed and learned by students in the teacher's room, but if they want to apply one more thing which is about the Bitcoin Book, this seems very fun, I like to see positive things being done by Slovakia on Bitcoin to introduce students.

In my opinion, I think it's a nice one to introduce Bitcoin into schools atleast it'll give room to a clearer future in their finances especially in countries where getting a job is a hard task.
 But I'll suggest that the just learn the basics and leave the practical aspects until a certain stage when it's sure that the can meddle with both trading and their studies.
 
It's a great development but cannot be adopted in countries that are yet to embrace Bitcoin.

Indeed, I do not consider it important to teach children this at this age. Lessons in financial literacy or sexual development will be much more useful for them.

How i Wish that this will be also In our country , being a third world country it seems that we are far from being like Slovakia to bring this learning in basic bitcoin inside schools.
and i support the movement of this country in favor of crypto because they seems to understand the future and the advantage of this for the whole country.
Protesting in what sense? opposition is always there but surely in long run they will partake in this movement.

They are really ahead from us where we are on back foot .I think we need to be more advance and learn it quickly .I am really excited that i am with on this platform .We need spread the knowledge from our own place it will helps our next generation to adapt with this smart technology .Look Slovakia making their next generation more strong and they are growing with this smart technology .I just want to see that our Asia specially south Asia are really ignoring it and also the government are restricting it that't how we are on the back footed .Really shame that even govt has nothing brain on this just full with corruption .I think we need to take it seriously and go ahead like Slovakia doing .

I have also done same down here, I'm African, I have advocated about bitcoin to my school, street's, neighbors and friends.
What interest me the most, is my head of department loving how we are gon use bitcoin books, crypto currencies article's to make more awareness about the library.
Informing the public about Bitcoin books and relating them about the library, this helps inculcate the habit of reading in them.

Yes i also seen this status in Twitter published by @BitcoinMagazine Tweet link https://twitter.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1465063022112747534?t=A2OO3lf1qGV0itt8bns_gQ&s=19  and also published by some Blog posting. It's really surprising that Bitcoin is being taught in schools in any one country.  Where as Bitcoin is still illegal in some countries. This indicates that Bitcoin is going to be more valuable currency of the future.  And the whole world will choose Bitcoin as the number one currency instead of money. this is a very good development.

I think that states that have already understood or are beginning to understand the inevitability of the interaction of a huge mass of people with cryptocurrency in the future are already beginning to prepare their youth for new skills and theoretical knowledge about this area. The potential that lies in the world of cryptocurrencies is still greatly underestimated - and those peoples and governments that will be able to integrate their national economies organically before others will inevitably have competitive advantages. This technological and intellectual gap between such countries, who accepted and mastered or, on the contrary, refused, will grow!

It's good to know that children are now being exposed to things like these in school. Back then, schools were merely a place to study different subjects such as english, science, and math that could be helpful in the future for their chosen degree. But right now, it's great to be aware that children are learning various things such as bitcoin in school which they could utilize to their own advantage when they get older. At least, at a very young age, they would be introduced to the idea that there's more to life than the usual things taught and learned at school. I love that Slovakia is open-minded and is concerned with the hope of their future to do well in life and to be able to manage their finances well with the help of cryptocurrency. Because after all, time is changing and advancing into something new and modern, therefore, knowing the basics and fundamentals of a thing is of importance.

You know, this is what a next generation looks like @OP. You know, inspire of what you hear around you, its always best you create an awareness and let the people grow to choose. Either its something they would love to develop more on or just let to slide away.

Cryptocurrency is no new news in our world and that school in Slovakia has taken an extraordinary step in bringing this to these kids. Of course, the term might be familiar but a lot of persons don't really know and building a basic knowledge of it for young kids,,, that's just super. Who knows, perhaps the next mile stone in blockcahin technology might arise from these ones.

I am amazed by the government officials in Slovakia, it is not an easy decision to allow the curriculum about Bitcoin to be introduced to young people

when many governments in other parts of the country are struggling hard to ban Bitcoin, slovakia emerged with a different mindset, they did not feel Bitcoin was a threat, on the contrary they incorporated Bitcoin into the learning curriculum there

the country that prohibits Bitcoin like China must be furious with beautiful news like this LOL

Their government is preparing their young generation with new things that can help them un future and thats a good gesture to them which other country could follow since if there citizens  have enough knowledge about bitcoin for sure they know at early stage those pros and cons about it and also they possibly get an opportunity to gain money which can help them to enhance theit lives.

Cryptocurrency is the future. Getting the children prepared on how to learn the basics of Bitcoin at the early stage of their lives is very fantastic. By the time they grow a bit older, they will be able to learn how to control and invest in their future.
This is a welcome development for the government of Slovakia to put up bitcoin learning into their junior school curriculum. How I wish other countries will adopt this kind of idea

Not yet right now,my baby boy is still 2YO  :D :D
But yes, I have also tried to tell about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency to my other family who is still 15YO and I see her interest in the crypto industry much. He is trying to deposit around 50$ and make trading, but she is a short-term investing, not daily trading. What happens here is explaining to them about the basic at least, not the complicated one. After she is really interested and ready, she really wants to try trading and has made some profits, even small ones. The basic thing that is also very important is that she knows the risks and is ready for the risks. And, she uses her free money.

But in the educational system in my country, I have never heard about the new curriculum that involves cryptocurrency or makes this is a subject of material. It's too complicated in this country to include crypto in education because there are still many pros and cons.

It is not only the future, the past and the present have been already with cryptocurrency. But, there will be much more development and also adoption of the crypto industry and blockchain in the future. Preparing children from earlier may be good enough, but it should also fit each step of the age in order not to force them.

I see this as a revolutionary breakthrough, a good introduction method must be done from an early age so that it will be embedded easily in his mind, and as long as what is learned is only the basics and does not require students to use it, I think it's good.

It is well intentioned that school children learn the basics of bitcoin in slovakia this will allow them to learn about bitcoin from an early age which will help them to have a bright future. They do not have to learn anything new later from the beginning bitcoin will be able to invest and make money through various activities they will get rid of all the bad situations of corona virus very easily. The world will improve a lot and governments of all countries will support bitcoin.

It’s good to know that. Cryptocurrencies are the future and students getting to know them from their learning stage would be a plus for them. Their basics would already be strong and they won’t have to go back to learning when they are planning to do something.

For sure this is best usecase of practical studies to children at young age and not exploring it in detail.I have also known this book from a long time and it only shows some stories about bitcoin payments and you see learning from stories won't burden them at all meanwhile they will learn lot of things from it.

The children have more learning ability and it should be promoted among them which is the best example this school has presented so it's appreciated move on their part.Want to see more schools adopting it.

Well educating them is very important and also must aware on possible negative consequences.
However --I can really say it is definitely amazing, letting the children learn and have knowledge about bitcoin at a young age is a smart way to introduce bitcoin in their life. Nowadays, a lot of false accusations about bitcoin really exist and I don't think it is unnecessary to explain it to the young generation because these negative feedbacks may possibly occupy their minds, and at least introducing bitcoin to them may clear some things. Also, learning through that books may help them understand the world of bitcoin and they can use it better in the future.

I think this is a good thing to introduce the basics of Bitcoin to school students even some of them can mine at an early age. There is nothing wrong with this, this can actually be knowledge for them, especially with this Bitcoin, students can get extra pocket money and will lighten the burden on parents. Besides that, it is possible that some of these students actually have talent for things related to investment so that when faced with crypto they can indirectly develop their talents.

As far as I know, the Slovakia government is very crypto-friendly, and they do not have any strict rules regarding sports betting. Casinos that conduct gambling through fixed odds are entirely legal in Slovakia.

Learning about Bitcoin at the school level is very important, students should learn about Bitcoin from the basics, you know blockchain related studies have a lot of knowledge, If children get a basic idea about these technologies from an early age, they will be interested in learning about blockchain in the future and will be able to play an important role in their economy & society.

I was a supporter of this theory 3 years ago (more or less) and I have also dedicated a topic on the subject. Here the introductory post


Well, I am really happy to see a Nation that has taken this argument seriously, and I am sure it will be the first of a long series, just matter of time.
Another step toward adoption.

We all are aware about the fact that rome was built not built in a single day and good thing takes time to happen and same is happening with bitcoin as slowly people are realising it's importance and gradually adopting it to safeguard their future.So little step towards btc adoption is best for all.

This school has initiated small step by making them practice and understand the basics of digital and decentralised money which will help them in further life at an early age.Some say it is some sort of burden to them but if you see this book is not at all full fledged technical aspects but story based decentralisation mode of payment which is best for them and maybe revolutionary step.Schools are busy teaching children useless courses to bundle them up in store rooms with assignment but best is to give them knowledge about things which will help them in real life.

I think this idea. Kids should be learning about new technologies and their implementations as early as possible, in a language and manner that is appropriate for them, so they can make informed decisions about said technologies once they grow a little and their finances depend on them. 

it seems their teachers already have basic knowledge of Bitcoin, their education is 5x faster than education in most other countries.  children are the future of a country, if they are taught about Bitcoin since childhood then when they grow up they already have knowledge about Bitcoin.  big hope that the schools in my country follow the teachings of Slovakia.

learning to invest early is good, knowing the basics about bitcoin is also good, but if elementary school children have invested in bitcoin it is really amazing, as technology develops children are required to be more advanced in thinking, not when , I was in elementary school

This is a good investment for Slovakia, which should give them the basic and fundamental information to use cryptocurrencies in the future, which is also not only a benefit to them but the entire crypto ecosystem. Kudos to Slovakia for taking this bold step!

Implementing Crypto or bitcoin education in schools in my opinion is very important.
Without knowing about something we are about to do, abuse is unavoidable, especially the basics of bitcoin and its use and how to use it properly and correctly so that when they are ready at the right time, they can do it well.
that's why so many people lose money in crypto because they don't have enough knowledge, and but when have proper crypto or bitcoin education, they will excel easily and make good profit.

The coming generation is already advanced from us and knows way too much about technology but all of them are not tech geek so explaining them what bitcoin actually is through story mode is really appreciable even if they have done it for some vocational courses not a regular subject to be taught in the school.The kids have sharp mind and more ability to learn so if they know about btc at that age they can explore more about it.

The main thing is the next Governments can't fool them and if they take advantage of it as investment opportunity and payment processor then inflation won't affect them more so it's better future for them and school around the globe must promote this as much they can.

Slowly more business were converting the cash reserve into bitcoin fearing inflation. We don't know what will be the future of cryptocurrencies, but as things are completely connected to technology learning it will surely be helpful in some means. There were more schools and universities that have begun to accept cryptocurrency payment, whereas very few have started to provide knowledge about cryptocurrencies.

As mentioned by the OP, Slovakia is a small country. Anything associated with technology isn't an easy thing to adopt, being a small country with limited population providing education on cryptocurrency is a possible one compared to a highly populated country doing the same.

Those of us here know and understand that but can we also say that for those who are not in this forum? The answer will be divided between yes and no, for sure.


Parents should be mindful of when they introduce their children to bitcoin so as not to disrupt their learning focus. Anything that involves making money as investment should be restricted from children. Let children concentrate on their studies and when they get into high school of learning they can begin to learn trading and how to invest their cryptocurrency.

Well, there is an appropriate time and age when to introduce Bitcoin to our children as its technicality is really hard for them to understand and grasp the information for their young minds. In fact, even us who are old enough can barely understand easily how much more with their ages. That I think this is suitable in High School ( at least) as we know that they are old enough to take responsibility and probably this creates interest to them as they will start to make their own.

NO, they didn't learn about trading or investment in Bitcoin. If you look at it closely on the book cover, we can read "A tale of ......". So, basically, what those children read is about a tale (a tale related to Bitcoin), that's surely appropriate for their ages. I didn't read what the content on the book yet, but I am pretty sure if the writer adapts the material and the method to deliver the message on the tale for their ages.

But it shouldn't be too early though in my opinion because I believe that there's more fundamentals that needs to be taught before anything regarding bitcoin. Pretty sure that if you teach it to a kid, they might eventually forget about it or worse, they might not listen to it because they find it too wordy or too difficult to understand, there are terms that is difficult to be dumbed down so I believe it shouldn't be as early as we think it should be.

Trading and investment analysis is not a finding and absolute truth, and there is no claim that all current analytical techniques are close to say 95% certainty. People can also throw their own theories into their analysis. Given that crypto trading carries more risk, we are not talking enough about loss of value but also loss of access, fraud, etc. So I think ownership, use and risk management is something that is more appropriate to be taught at any school level.

It is good that they are being taught at an early age. There are ways that these things can be broken down and these children will get to understand it. It’s mostly all about how it is being taught, if the message is passed through the right way, then they will easily understand it. It would only be difficult if the message is not passed accurately.

There should be exercises involved, that would allow the children to participate in activities that would make them understand how Bitcoin works and what it is all about. They can try things like transactions with Bitcoin and get to learn how it works and as time goes on and as they keep growing, the school can then start digging deeper into the technical aspects of Bitcoin that would have been hard for them to understand at a younger age.

I don't think it's necessary for young children to learn how to invest in cryptos - or anything else, for that matter. But learning about the actual technology, and its effect on the world, in language that is appropriate for their age, can only do them good, in my opinion.

If only my older brother would give me bitcoin in 2009-2010 - I would be the happiest now! :) In general, it's very nice - I did this for my son when he was born 3 years ago, although I bought not bitcoin but etherium and not for $100 but for $500. Now they are worth much more. I confess I had a few moments when I wanted to sell them at a "good" rate, but then I caught myself in time and remembered that they were "not mine." Let the guy grow up and decide what to do with them. Who knows - maybe he will already be a millionaire by then? :)

Warren buffet start investing at age 11, means starting to invest at early age could teach a lot of lesson about how we could manage emotion and manage our money when they are grow up to adult. A smart tech guy could gain much earnings from their salary but if they are bad at investing and money management the money will gone anywhere, but a smart investors definitely know when to spend and save money so they will have a good life when they are old

I wish it was in the school curriculum in the country I live in, but I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon, how unfortunate I am. As far as I know it's taught at certain universities in my area, and after reading this thread, I feel like my nation is so far behind. This is indeed our fate in a country that does not prioritize digital education in its curriculum early on  :'(

I think it would be better to teach students about trading rather than teaching them about a single crypto. If they learn trading at such a young age, they will surely be making enough profits to pay all their bills when they go for higher studies.

What are you saying? To teach young students about how to trade?  :o
It is a very bad idea, how can you want to let young students learn about trading? Trading isn't appropriate material for them, let them enjoy his young ages. At least, someone has finished Senior high school to learn trading, so they are mature enough to be aware of the risks and advantages. When you are still young ages, paying bills isn't your responsibility. That's your parents' responsibility. Someone can try to work and live independently when he is already more than 18 years old.

actually there is a negative side and a positive side if it is required to be used as a lesson. because it is okay to introduce but to be able to participate directly in the trade is clearly too young for schoolchildren to do and not appropriate. so it is wiser to introduce it from a scientific point of view, not to be done and put into practice. let there be a time when they are independent and can decide.

Not bad, school is a place for people to learn, and things like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies should be taught in school. Cryptocurrency and blockchain are the next big thing, and I think it would be a great idea if schools will try to focus on this area and help students to learn about blockchain and cryptocurrency so that in the future if this is something that they would be interested in, they can get into it and have a job as Blockchain and crypto engineers.

These days, I have noticed that there are lots of companies who are in need of blockchain engineers or developers, and in the past few years this has become one of the areas that there is the most jobs available in.

I think gradually most countries will begin doing that, just like they will begin accepting Bitcoin. It's just a matter of time. Think of it this way - ten years ago no one would have even considered, anywhere, to add Bitcoin to the school curriculum. And now it's happening. Who's to say what the situation will be like in another ten years?

Bitcoin should be added to the new academic curriculum across nations because bitcoin as a software, technology and a currency is poising a new technological era. slovakia has began the step i know many other nations will buy into the technology and it would even be more lucrative for countries where the idea is banned so their young lads can learn about the technology to decide for themselves in the future if the technology is truely harmful or has any tendency to societally, economically or digitally improve their economy

I don't know where are you from, It doesn't matter that Bitcoin is not taught at the school level in your country. Bitcoin-related things are not taught at the school level in different countries of the world.

In this case, all of you who know better about Bitcoin can make up small groups and you can run different campaigns where you discuss Bitcoin-related subjects.

At the end of the school period, you can conduct campaigns to give the students an idea about Bitcoin. Maybe teachers will also be enthusiastic about this and will change their teaching content to keep pace with the developed world.

Although bitcoin has not been accepted by all countries in the world, what slovekia has done is truly an amazing thing, it seems they have seen bitcoin and blockchain as something that has potential in the future, so they started to include bitcoin as one of the lessons in the schools and began educating schoolchildren to learn to see the benefits and role of bitcoin in the future.

Some schools just add a new curriculum on basic cryptocurrency learning to provide an overview of cryptocurrency knowledge. You don't have to get learning at school, because basic crypto learning can be obtained at any time, the important thing is to be willing and not lazy to read. Embedding crypto knowledge from an early age will provide future technology knowledge that our successors can understand.
slovakia may be just a few examples of schools that have started implementing cryptocurrency learning, there are many other schools that have started implementing crypto learning.

Bitcoin lessons have started to be done in many countries. mostly for young people who provide knowledge to be able to keep up with the times. although it has not been legalized but the bitcoin business is very suitable for the development of today's world. so that in the end there will be many people who have new jobs in bitcoin or become investors for their own future

Don't know whether other schools will start following it or not because as per the standards they are following the general course criteria where they have specified which subjects to be taught or not.This is the school administration personal decision to influence these decisions and some extra subject with bitcoin as this school has implemented in their course.

You see the children are also learning the same thing which is helpful in the further fields of life like physics, chemistry,maths, economics, business but they should also grab the practical knowledge which is at current the most useful and revolutionary topic that can change the way world payment works.They should be learning it an early age which will help them to know the true power of decentralisation and how bitcoin works.This small effort could spark really big blows to the government as youth are building blocks of nation.

I see the Slovak government starting to realize Bitcoin is going to get bigger in the future. Therefore they made the decision to include Bitcoin
as a subject in school, so that Bitcoin can be learned by the younger generation in Slovakia. What is certain is that Bitcoin has proven for 12 years
to provide many benefits for its users, so learning Bitcoin from an early age becomes very important. Hopefully more countries will follow
in Slovakia's footsteps, because the long-term effect is huge for a country that makes Bitcoin a subject in schools. This means that when children
are adults who already understand the basic knowledge of Bitcoin, can use Bitcoin to improve their economy. If more people can improve their
economy, then indirectly the country will also increase its economy.

this is a very good move. In today's era, education must change according to the times, where technology is increasingly sophisticated, of course, children's education must adjust. With the lessons about bitcoin this is an example for other schools in this world. and this is a good thing for bitcoin, meaning that bitcoin is increasingly accepted by the community, although not all people know and not all countries can legalize bitcoin. But in the future I believe that over time bitcoin will not be separated from our lives.

Slovakia may be a small country but they have taken steps that even big countries are afraid to do. Once the school students are aware of bitcoins, they will tell their parents about it and you can't imagine how fast bitcoin awareness will grow among the people of Slovakia.

Also by taking these steps, Slovakia will become famous for teaching and giving awareness about bitcoins in the schools.

I don't know about the parents being all that interested. Some will be, for sure, but how wide-spread will that be? I don't think anyone can tell with any amount of certainty. These kids will grow up though - give it a decade or so, and that generation may be far more interested in and accepting of cryptos than their parents.

This is a fantastic development; it sounds great to hear or see such advancements in cryptocurrency; those children will grow up with a strong foundation of both technical and fundamental knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general; kudos to Solvakia, which, despite its small s. All country, has made a significant effort with this fantastic development about Bitcoin.

This is superb! I love seeing education like this, I do think honestly that they are not interested in it on that age, though some of them will still remember this education and will have a step ahead in the financial world :)

Seriously that's really cool, I believe our kids should be given the opportunity which we didn't have. That's really a nice idea teaching our children about bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general right from there I believe they will be able learn lots about financial sector and I believe this shouldn't just stop at Slovakia other countries should also learn from them.

Catching them very young, one of my greatest mentor Gaius the first African to invest in Crypto and now lectures crypto all around the world would say. I think this initiative is welcomed and kids would get Early knowledge about crypto-currency, more reasons to believe the future is bright for Crypto-currency, and it's even amazing that slowly government are allowing people make their choices in crypto, I really wish I had someone to teach me earlier about crypto-currency I believe I would be better than I am now.

Good thing that it wasnt banned on there on which it was been part of the curriculum which is really great and this isnt something that you could really see often on which
institutions would really be allowing this kind of teaching but it seems that the youth do shows up some interest and this one is really a good step on  making adoption
and recognition goes higher and its good that they do start up on very young to have some good grasps speaking on this crypto market not only on its
investment manner but also into its real use case.

I see this one as supercool. In the current event it’s much much needed to showcase the new generation whole new world of financing. Though it’s gonna get injected way slowly in the market; it’s off to a great start. Student are nothing but the future of their national development and how they look at the systems that run it.

So pretty impressive that they are preparing them for the same. I just hope that they also add up blockchain associated studies when they go to high school level and graduate study. Depending on the interest they might just evolve it further to unimaginable use case.

Yes, it is good news that the lesson of Bitcoin has been adopted in many countries. It means Bitcoin is a necessary part of our life already, everyone thinks it is needed to learn from an early age. I support the idea to have Bitcoin lessons in elementary school or kindergarten, but those children don't need to learn something difficult such as trading or investing. They only need to know the pictures about crypto or Bitcoin. Or they just read fun stories such as tale, that is related to crypto.

This is a good thing they already now make an introduction about the future bitcoin is not all about investment but also the transaction is made with the blockchain too and the security. This way the students makes an idea and literate them what is the potential of the bitcoin is self imagine if those kinds already see what can be in the future with bitcoin at a very young age they can commit and one of the millionaires at their age.

I have a lot of respect for Indians and Africans in terms of teaching technology. You see all their videos on youtube just teaching people without hype or without fame. I remember this story of one African teacher I can't remember the country, he was teaching students to use computers without computers. How? By drawing the screens for every software like Word on blackboard!

Because he knew even though they may never have computers but if they went to college they would know how to type and use software.

I see the same thing with crypto, so many influencers are teaching nonsense and gambling. But the good ones are also there teaching the good stuff and without the same recognition.

I think i will utter that this is a good strategy for educating children ti learn bitcoin instead of creativity a wallet that they will not know about it. From my own understanding bitcoin have to be included to educational curriculum so that children of present era will start from the grassroots to learn bitcoin to the highest level, if not that government is against bitcoin and they will not accept such kind of advice, Bitcoin have go a long way from childhood to learn bitcoin

I think i remember this video which was circulating a few years back, one teacher teaching kids about computer with a blackboard and those kids have not seen a computer, it was heart touching to see people who are inspired to learn technological advancement but not having money to purchase one.

I hate the so called influencers, who are self made fake ones who usually create a social media filled with bots and then preach themselves as the hot prospect and they do nothing to the ecosystem but a thorn in the system who are there to leech money and nothing else.

Okay so you are taking about the Ghana Teacher who was drawing the whole setup for MS word to make students aware about it because there was no system in the school yet the dedication of the teacher was not broken and he took the responsibility himself to tell them about it :


After this the Microsoft extended their support to the teacher and gifted them system so that they can have practical experience for it.

I would say that most of the current crypto experts are only self proclaimed one's and don't have an idea about the market at all and you should not believe them at all.The best one According to me is Andres who is so passionate about Bitcoin and can provide you in depth knowledge about it if you are capable of understanding it.

This is very  nice if schools should adopt bitcoin into the school curriculum  for students to get knowledge about bitcoin,  it will really be  a good advantage to the young ones that are coming up to help them  to have good plans as they are coming  up on how to be free from financial stress.  I think in time to come this will take  place in other regions as more countries accept bitcoin.

Yes! Yes! This is exactly the one I was referring to and you can find all kinds of stories like this all from Africa and India where there is a great need for education to bring the people into the digital age and yet where most people will never even get the chance to see a computer in their lives. Sad but inspirational to read about them.

So when people talk big about crypto influencers who do nothing do further the cause, I just roll eyes.

Andreas as you say is one of the few who is so different from the rest!

It is high time bitcoin was added to the education program for schoolchildren or students, because it is a new and progressive technology that is being used all over the world. I just don't understand in maths, computer science or economics to teach it? Probably better to teach it in more detail in institutes.

This is no problem because it is about the basics. And I am sure that they will not explain Bitcoin technically based on the technology or other technicals.
This may be about the general knowledge about Bitcoin. Actually, this may not be a problem because this is like another new thing for them. As long as they explain the real about the general and they also give some advice about it, the student swill know and understand

This is another impressive news that we can find out. Some countries may still face the difficult situation, moreover about education in which actually this is very important as the basis of life. This will make how creative and smart a teacher to work based on their limited condition, become more patient and also spirit to make their children and students know more than a thing about this world and everything inside.

For sure government had let these things to happen because once it can already be seen that it is been teached out then it do already have some approval by governing bodies which is really that great to see upon.

We are wishing that we could see this on other countries as well to fasten up the adoption rate and recognition which would really add up on overall awareness and adoption.

Its a good step in that place Slovakia on where youth do have at least the idea or information about bitcoins existence.
