Bitcoin Forum

After reading so many theories, Analysis and the powers of crypto currency in a nation's economy, the greater impact it will bring to developed and fast developing countries. I began to wonder why is crypto currency not accepted in some area's and organization of the world, can we characterized this as lack of information, and awareness to the people. If this be the case, Can we find a way to adopted Crypto Currency as a Subject and integrate it into our school curriculum, or better still as topic and integrate it into Economy's. This has been on my mind, And I honestly need your contribution and your thoughts towards this. I honestly think crypto currency, BTC and ETH for example. Should be adopted globally and accepted by everyone. Thanks

Why should it? Finance (and probably investing in general?) is a far better and far more important subject. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are just a subsection of the broader topic that is investing.

Including it on curriculum will just make young minds exposed on high risk investment. This should be teach only on advance course but not cryptocurrency but rather the use of blockchain because that is what important technology that needs to learn and not cryptocurrency in general since it will more focus on price discussion rather than technicalities.

You are not alone in your desire to spread the word about bitcoin, starting with your school education, but unfortunately, not everyone agrees with you. I think you understand that to make such decisions, bitcoin must be legalized as a subject of education and recognized by countries. Do you see something similar? We can only hope for the future, but I'm not sure that this can happen shortly.
But no one forbids you from teaching and disseminating information about bitcoin among your friends.

I for one would love to see bitcoin get adopted worldwide. But I think there are far more important things to add to a school curriculum than cryptocurrencies. Entrepreneurship and perhaps some sort of skill acquisition and or training programs would be nice.

I do not think any government would ever include cryptocurrencies into its school curriculum. That’s something you would have to learn away from the classroom.

Let's take it a step at a time. Mass adoption and acceptability should be much more of a major concern now than asking for cryptocurrency to be made a subject in the school curriculum. It will be a tall order anyway, considering what challenges cryptocurrencies are facing at this time. We're faced with rejection here and there, coupled with bans from various governments of the world ATM. It will make more sense if we're looking at cryptocurrency being included as a topic in Economics or Finance rather than as a subject on its own. To kick start this, I think countries with well structured educational system should lead the way on this.

You have a perfect point and prospect, but cryptocurrency is still young, it is still looking for survival through more adoptions by people and the government. When it has been well adopted by over 50% of the world's population and government, this kind of view could be raised more often with more appreciation following it.

For now, we should be trying our parts by introducing it to our family members, friends, business associates, the companies we work, the school we teach and all that. These are the ways that we could set the fire burning, and with time, who knows? Crypto might surpass your dreams/wishes.

The only time, I think crypto will be adopted into the school curriculum is when the awareness of crypto has been widely spread globally. Countries are beginning to feel the impact of crypto in society. Starting to use crypto in their daily activities. Globally, we are yet to utilize the potential of crypto projects in our lives other than to invest in them and make profits.

Actually it has really happened^[1][2] in the last few years, don't know how it has progressed.

I don't know where you read all these, but cryptocurrencies barely has any power in a state's economy, right now every state in the world is faced with inflation as a serious problem, in addition to other economic problems, and crypto is not their solution
Cryptocurrencies are accepted, traded and used as an investment in many states and organizations of the world, even many businesses accept it too, or are you talking about it being made a legal tender? That is a different thing to it being "accepted".
I don't think schools will ever support or see the need for this proposition, and if this has never been tried before we can't be sure of the success, so for people that want this, they can teach their kids about it at home.
BTC is a global currency already, it can't be adopted by everyone but mass adoption is possible in the long term.

If it's not part of economy, it's never gonna be part of school curriculum.

Agree with this since early teaching then with high risk investment maybe can result something bad or they might get wrong impression towards what people teaching them. Much better if they teach this lesson on seniors or maybe in collage since people at this age are maybe focus to learn something new. This should be added since technology and finance is evolving so that new generations will not be illiterate on new evolving industry.

School? It's like opening schools where you teach people only how to make money, its never going to work and the government will be on your ass ASAP, crypto can't be teach in schools you want to ruin all the government plans  ;D  ;D, if you feel like someone have to do this then nothing should be stopping you, do some gathering in your home town first and teach people about crypto, this is a better approach.

Cryptocurrency is too wide of a subject field, and adding all of it to a school curriculum would mean teaching children about scams and schemes how to get rick quickly. Bitcoin and blockchain on the other hand is something that could be taught at University level, for example. 

But we are far from having any of that on a global scale. Not when we have presidential decrees aiming to change a decentralized and censorship-resistant blockchain into something controlled by selected government agencies. Since that won't work, the next best thing from their perspective is a CBDC and hopefully no attempts to ban that what they cannot control.

Technologically they like but control they hate. Yes it is the government, which does not want to lose control. But blockchain technology has inspired and proven many Banks that started making CBDC, including my country. They have made blue print plans but there has been no realization.
If you look at this effect, of course, including crypto in education is a step forward. It seems like my country has had some that provide defense at the college level. But for now Crypto is synonymous with currencies and is widely banned by the world bank hence it seems that we have to be patient for more developments.

That's a brilliant idea to adopt cryptocurrency in school curriculum, but I don't think most government will want to do that since most of them are against cryptocurrency for now, since they don't have control over it. The only school that can adopt cryptocurrency in their school curriculum are schools that cryptocurrency is legal in the country, but the countries that already ban bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general, then it won't be possible. Before any course can be added to a school curriculum, the Couse have to be approved by the government, since most countries are tagging bitcoin with bad things so they won't add it, but I know it might just take time but they won't have choice than to accept bitcoin.

The government will add a curriculum to schools if the crypto adoption factor is legal based on regulations, but for countries that prohibit crypto activities it will be difficult to add crypto education to the school curriculum, but every country certainly has a crypto community so crypto education will still be spread even though it has limitations due to conflict with government regulations

I don't think governments in the global system will allow it because they even hate cryptocurrency talking of accept it. Yes it is a good thing to adopt bitcoin in a nation curriculum but the problem is the authorities. what kind of organization are you referring to? there are a lot of organizations that have adopted bitcoin but the problem is the government institutions (schools). I believed if cryptocurrency will be accepted in schools it can be found in computer studies and economics.


cryptocurrency should be a subject on it own not a topic under another subject because cryptocurrency is broad. You can not force everyone to do cryptocurrency so I prefer it to be as an elective subject or course.

I do think that as a stand-alone subject, it would be relatively difficult to teach about BTC in the school curriculum. It must be integrated and explained by applying it in our current financial and economics for easier visualization and application. I also do think that an elective as a college class would be a great idea, given the fact that lots of students are now curious about knowing and understanding the fundamentals of BTC and its effects.

I just hope that the government would allow it to be integrated into our school curriculum without any repercussions. Lots of countries nowadays have started this movement and I hope that they do it soon.

I always find why they don't want to include such as how investment or making money/entrepreneurship in school curriculum so that everyone could have a basic knows about the market. And crypto currency is just new to them since it was just started at 2009 and it was not that famous yet until the price show a great potential.

Perhaps they don't find any relevance to this applying to the school curriculum but if they could include some subjects that aren't useful after you graduated at school then they should somehow include basic economics and crypto currency subjects since it's a thing now especially the crypto currency.

School curriculum? Which mean 6-17 years old kids should learn about crypto currency? it doesn't effective and not every kids want to learn that particular course. It's better to have a finance or investment course since crypto currency isn't the only one asset that can be used for investment. If those kids doesn't have any knowledge about programming or computer, it will be worse since they will call crypto currency is scam. While actually not all crypto currency is scam e.g. Bitcoin.

Crypto is not accepted in some areas for different reasons. For one, governments are either against it or don't care enough to recognize it or even study about it. But perhaps there are also areas where Bitcoin wasn't that appealing. I mean, people are generally contented with what they have. In some countries where Bitcoin must be appealing, a lot are probably unfamiliar with it. The word of Bitcoin haven't reached them yet. Or perhaps they don't have the technological infrastructures to make the most of Bitcoin. Of course, there are also factors coming from the side of Bitcoin itself like its price volatility.

Anyway, depending on where you are, Bitcoin or crypto and their underlying technologies have indeed been integrated into certain university courses.

I strongly disagree. If it were bitcoin maybe but cryptocurrencies in general, absolutely not. Considering that most altcoins are useless scam coins that are only used for gambling (making bets on the price on exchanges) there is not much to be taught at schools. There isn't much innovation in them to make them an interesting topic either.
When it comes to bitcoin the innovations and the revolution that it created in the way we perceive currency is an interesting topic but I still don't think schools is the best place for it to be taught.
Besides, bitcoin is not yet accepted as a legal tender or even a currency in majority of the world. So there is a first step to be taken before we talk about integration into school curriculum.

Why though?
What would you have them teach and at what stage in school would it be taught? This is easier said than done as it’s easy to dream of a utopia but very difficult to achieve such.
I want to see bitcoin adopted and used  worldwide but I also think we shouldn’t integrate the study of cryptocurrencies into a school curriculum.

Whilst it seems like a reasonable thing to do in specific cases such as El Salvador (*), though Bitcoin centered in scope, in general terms, it seems farfetched to include Bitcoin or any broader scope in school curriculum for the most. I’m not even sure people come out of school with much of an economical background for their day to day nowadays, and including specific content on cryptocurrency seems rather distant to school attendant’s educational needs in terms of priority.

Of course it can be mentioned here and there, and even have some introductory content elaborated under the broader scope of economics or even IT, but I wouldn’t consider anything with any depth to be taught until one reaches University (and even then, probably enclosed in existing subjects, or as an optional choice within specific careers).

(*) Ongoing initiatives (see this one (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5342087.msg60924486#msg60924486) for example) are currently being carried out in that sense there, though not yet conforming  any official school curriculum. It does, however, seem like something that should be done over there, allowing the student population to become well acquainted with bitcoin, which, after all, is something they are going to need to understand and manage.

Although I would love to see Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to be included in the school curriculum, but I think it shouldn’t be a main subject. It can be under Finance subject. Blockchain however is a different one, which can be considered a main one due to its use case and fundamentals.

I would rather see a subject called “Financial Literacy” in a lot of universities in which they can include Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, NFTs, etc., as sub-topics. Just my honest opinion guys.

Lol. Dream on op. You need to temper your expectations. Many world governments outright ban BTC and other cryptocurrencies since they fear them due to the possibility of losing power and money.

Why on earth would they want to include them in school curriculums? That wouldn't benefit them at all and it could even screw kids lives due to its risky nature.

It's time for the education world to care about preparing students to get to know cryptocurrencies early, slowly the cryptocurrencies marketcap is getting bigger and will become commonplace one day, if students know cryptocurrencies it will be easier to make the country developed.

I don't necessarily to agree to the angle saying it may expose young minds to high risk investment because risk doesn't have age boundary, young people are already in the involvement in risky activities and financial risk is not even more dangerous to drugs dealing in youth.

We have had young billionaires because they started early, by listing there names you know the list is endless, the Facebook owner is to be mentioned, he started early, We also have kids who are now rich because they see their talents early enough, in comedy, music and entertainment.


This part I agree. It can come as special course of study for the people interested in going for the proper understanding of blockchain. What is even to be important is adoption. Bitcoin is not totally adoption in the world except you are writing on the country using bitcoin as national financial instrument talking of El Salvador to start with. If country that has not adopted bitcoin in full terms they will not introduce blockchain technology in school because it is going to be illegal from beginning for schools not government owned .

This should be done by our government and i assume blockchain and cryptography will be in our main curriculum within last decade. Social awareness is already raising and people are involving in crypto very fast. Government will be forced to initiate this awareness in a large scale for keeping people safe from scamming activities. A global adoption will be emerged very soon.

If at the initial stage of introduction, I think today's young people already know what cryptocurrency is, with some trading platform advertisements or brokers in general already knowing it. yes although it is not evenly distributed most young people already know it and in economics textbooks, there is also a discussion about BTC and ETH at the high school level,

I think the adoption of cryptocurrency to be included in school children's learning curriculum is not a good decision if the goal is only to increase their income, I think it will be the other way around for students to become gamblers because we know the value of cryptocurrency is a volatile and risky scheme, I think it can be devastating. the future of the students themselves, especially for the country itself, it could go bankrupt because most of its generation is a gambler mentality, how to anticipate it?

there are some that you should pay attention to and consider, especially the impact that will arise if you want to be included in the school curriculum. I am just reminding you ;)

I would like all children in the world to have the opportunity to go to school and at least learn some basics (reading, writing, math), and after that all those for whom this is something completely normal start learning how to protect themselves from all the dangers on the internet, which includes crypto scams. For me, this is a much bigger problem that we seriously need to face, because the negativity that comes from all crypto scams has a very bad effect on the perception of what is the only important thing in the whole story, which is Bitcoin.

People who advocate altcoins, especially those who are premined should better understand the differences between Bitcoin, altcoins, POW and POS in order to understand what they are talking about.

It could be part of it but it should not be directly involved with the studies. Like there are many in conceptualised subjects which do not impact the society yet they taught in the studies but are not mandatory subjects. Whether it is out dated language or simple physics hypothetical theory or complex quantum subject with least understanding you can count on many subjects which have not been mandated yet through the educational system.

Bitcoin/crypto space can be studied in the similar fashion. These days interests are wide and students tend to choose specialised subjects. Better keep it as an option rather than core part.

Well, something like Economics is usually studied at schools, no? So yeah, Bitcoin can just be integrated into that. I agree that covering investing as a topic could be good, but I also don't think cryptos are just a subsection of it. While many use cryptos and see them as investment opportunities, there are other angles from which cryptos can be explored. For example, studying what fiat money is, some basic history of money and how it worked would be useful, and Bitcoin could be added to that, as a new and significantly different form of money.

I don't know if crypto is generally accepted in your country, but your idea is good, and if you want to go through with your idea, I think you should submit a proposal to the ministry of education in your country.

But you should know, finance is globally accepted, medicine is globally accepted, politics is globally accepted, business is globally accepted, art/science is globally accepted But Bitcoin is not. Bitcoin mining is not globally accepted. Even the free use of Bitcoin is not globally accepted. That's why it can not be integrated into the school curriculum, but maybe in the future, when there are more reasons to include it. Should you not be aware that some universities are already teaching about crypto and blockchain?

I also want to see in the future cryptocurrency as one of the subjects included in the curriculum, but apparently, this might be impossible to happen as we have already marketing and finance courses that is also related to cryptocurrency. However, if ever cryptocurrency will be adopted globally soon, maybe by that time it will be already included in school’s curriculum.

Understand that crypto currencies are yet to become legal in most countries of the world at the moment, and also, regulation is still being worked on,
I personally do not think integrating cryptocurrency into our educational system wil work unless cryptocurrencies become a well recognized assets class all around the world and proper regulations in place.
This is not something that  can not happen immediately but will take
Some really good time to come to reality.

Well as for it screwing kids' lives, it actually depends on what they'd be taught, if they'll be taught how to get rich quick, or how they can prolly have millions of dollars through crypto, then that is where the problem could be inherent, they could basically be taught from the angle of financial freedom and users' control. Having said that, in whatever way it is going to be taught it isn't something that is quite necessary, or that seriously needs to be integrated, there are quite a lot of reasons why it wouldn't work, and imo many people will definitely find out about crypto and undertake their own personal research without being taught about it in school.

In some countries bitcoin is added to the curriculum. This has been done based on some special program for limited children. Based on the outcome will be the implementation. As you've mentioned, there is more to be taught beyond cryptocurrency into the school curriculum.

World is experiencing the severity of inflation. Teaching kids about economics is a must, and through that students wil surely understand bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Part of the curriculum might be too much. Discussions about cryptocurrency can include those subjects related to Economics and Finance. There's no need to label it up the same with those subjects that should be really part of the school's curriculum.

Anyways, here in our country, it was being pushed this year by our main central bank that the discussion of crypto should be included in teaching.

I'm not sure though what's the current status of this or if it's already commenced.

I once though of this but in a different direction. It can never be introduced directly into school curriculum but can be added to entrepreneural scheme learn in school. Due to inadequate job in Nigeria, Government has introduced an entrepreneural scheme like book keeping, marketing, bee rearing, barbing and many more as an entrepreneural subject to the school. I think crypto currency can be added to this list.

Couldn't agree more.
Crypto being taught at school will not going to screw the children's financial life. However, schools may only integrate crypto or Bitcoin as one of the topic of a specific finance and economic subjects or any subjects that tackles on financial aspects.
Bitcoin/crypto basics would be enough, just to let the students be aware of what crypto is, not the earning aspects.
 

A good idea if Cryptocurrencies goes to school lessons, many experts believe that the future of the transaction system will use a blockchain so that by introducing cryptocurrencies will make children accustomed to and certainly become an opportunity to practice investment from an early age.

 Believe me, I'd love to see that day when it gets taught in schools as subject because it could help the children learn of a better, digital way of making money and go as far as broadening their horizons when they are done but just like the others that have answered, I think it's not what we need right now as there are other pressing needs plus Bitcoin can only become a course if study if the government of a region accepts it.

 

For countries that already have good internet access, it is certainly very easy to apply the addition of the Cryptocurrencies curriculum, because cryptocurrencies are lessons that are directly related to the internet, so without the internet and only relying on theory is very difficult to learn.

Cryptocurrency could be taught inside mathematics subject when teaching children about decimal houses of a number. Later on, when children grow up, they could be taught about the origins of bitcoin, its purpose, pros and cons, characteristics and how it is behaving on the practice along the years against inflation and protecting the money of its investors. There is enough bitcoin content for mathematics, economy and history lessons, unfortunatelly schools don't teach students to be smart, realistic and critical, rather they teach students to be sheep, so they don't become a threat to the system we live in.

You can't force countries to adopt digital currencies like Bitcoin globally, it's not necessary, Bitcoin is now very well known and understood by the world community, only those who understand how Bitcoin works will adopt it.

You know Economics, School Curriculum and so on are all controlled by the government, Isn't it, some countries and government organizations don't accept the presence of Bitcoin, Of course they don't know Bitcoin and are anti-adoption, I believe cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin without global adoption will grow and develop rapidly over time and also the economy is growing rapidly because of the presence of Bitcoin in the community, for that adoption does not have a positive impact on the crypto market, it is a fact that we see, Bitcoin cannot be controlled and does not depend on employers, Bitcoin grows on its own and goes hand in hand with the world community, You know Bitcoin, Bitcoin also knows you, you need Bitcoin, Bitcoin also needs you, interrelated with each other.

actually, there are colleges or universities that are already integrating the cryptocurrency and blockchain technology courses within their curriculum. there has been a thread here in this forum listing the schools offering crypto related courses. so this is not news anymore but some have long been teaching related courses for quite some time already. besides, a lot of crypto users are self taught owed to the fact that we can basically read and search anything these days over the net. just know where to get valid facts.

I fully agree that cryptocurrencies must be learned in school, starting at elementary! I fully agree also  that BTC must be adopted as a global standard (stop using USD as standard!).
But I do not agree at all on the legal adoption of ETH, because it is a practically centralized project and has a myriad of various issues.

I know most government won't want to implement that but am sure their are some countries that already adopted bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general so am sure those countries can add it to their curriculum. Also it might just take time but am sure most of the countries banning bitcoin currently won't have choice than to accept bitcoin later in the future, so if they can accept bitcoin, then bitcoin can be added to the curriculum.

everyone who knows cryptocurrencies certainly hopes that cryptocurrencies can be included in the school curriculum but again, each country/region has not been willing to do that because of their unreasonable fears.
The discourse about cryptocurrencies being included in the school curriculum in my country has also been discussed but so far we have not received a response from our government, they have said that cryptocurrencies disrupt economic stability, and to be honest it is a stupid statement.

This is something which could happen at the margins but I do not think it is ever going to become mainstream, governments do not even teach their citizens how their fiat currencies work so it makes no sense to me they could implement this on the curriculum of all schools on their country, especially when governments want the opposite and would prefer that people do not understand too deeply the concept behind cryptocurrencies so they can deceive them later with their CBDCs.

Yes, well, personal finance I would say. But that does not interest the public authorities. They are interested in people who are financially uneducated, who spend a lot, who get into debt and are always in debt. They want them to be financially dependent on the system.

But that's not going to happen in most of the world, because educating people about money is considered fascist.

Educating about Bitcoin within that curriculum would be ideal, but, again, this is not in their interest. They are not going to promote a currency that attacks their power.

Cryptocurrency is not for everyone, we cannot force those children to adopt, the best option is to provide financial awareness and financial literacy by this we give them freedom to choose and help them build a great foundation for them so when they start to earn their own money, they know how to handle it and they know where to put it.

Beside, cryptocurrency is still not legal in many countries and regulations is not intact to at least protect those young mind from any misinformation or fake news. Cryptocurrency can be learn easily online, I'm confident they will cross this market when the time is right. So having this in a curriculum should not be the priority of the government.

If the mindset of every country's government is like that of El Salvador, the process might not be too difficult. But we have quite different regulations, a country does not want its finances to go in and out without confirmation from the financial authorities. It's a good idea to incorporate digital investing teaching into the sub-curriculum. Just referring to cryptocurrencies is not enough. Many investment vehicles and other crypto categories fall under the digital investment section. This is often a topic that has been discussed, but in the end, it is limited by state policy. If we do not have the power to control it all will be difficult to implement.

The way how the modern tech evolve in terms of modern financial system and at the moment its booming more then its really good for government who's crypto friendly to integrate a somehow education about crypto. Because from this at early stage they will know about how they can take advantage to gain from this as well how they can spot harmful like scams and other dangers  which they might face in future. Its better to teach those young people early rather than wrong people teach them about it.

We know that government does really play a big role on something like this on which neither its been prohibited or just neutral.If its allowed then it would really be depending
on the school or institution if  they would really be allowing it for it to be included on the curriculum but its true that on this era where everything do involved mostly on digital
then it is just right that new generations should really know on what are the things that we do have today and on how it do works.
There are already universities which does have blockchain courses and its increasing on numbers.

It's very obvious, and it's very clear to the blinds and audible, so since many people has known, so therefore i want you to understand that cryptocurrency has gotten to the crass Root, for any government of a country have to embrace the systematic way of depriving it's life. Learning of cryptocurrency in university, you have to think about caring.

I've also read several threads about this and indeed this has been enforced in several places but of course this applies only to some crypto-friendly places because this is still difficult to happen for some countries that are not very Crypto-friendly.

Things like this are indeed something that is quite good but indeed it is not easy to turn the palm of the hand because until now even though many people or communities have introduced crypo but still we can't deny that this kind of thing is still difficult to happen.

I disagree on teaching little kids what crypto is, that’s just way too much, we could definitely put it on economics related college classes to teach a lot more about it, there is a good understanding of it, and even computer science majors as well because there is a development related part of it as well and both of them are understandable. But that doesn't change the fact that we can't really end up with anything that would be ok for kids under 17 or younger end up learning from, and I doubt it would really work that well.

This is why it’s a lot better if we just decided not to focus on anything that would be older teenagers, even "teen adults" basically for people who are 20 years old and what not.

There are universities which is already doing that.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/top-universities-have-added-crypto-to-the-curriculum

Dont know on what part they are really putting some emphasis whether on bitcoin or into some altcoins.
Important thing that its already been recognized.

My though about this one is cryptocurrency will only be included in the school curriculum once the government will adopt it and imposed it in all schools to be part of the school curriculum. Otherwise, we will only stick to Finance as it’s already been teaching in schools particularly for those courses related to money management, or banking management and finance.

I have to agree on you. Finance is already a broad topic that talks about money matters and it’s management. And since cryptocurrency has something to do with money, then most likely it will be tackle too when students are taught about finance. Also, if you take courses about banking and finance, that’s when the time that you have to go deeper on that certain topic and for certain, cryptocurrency too will also be widely taught.

I think if we make crypto as a subject in school then don't focus on a crypto, Bitcoin, Ethereum or other. All we have to do is introduce crypto, and develop new crypto. Because there are many codes listed in a crypto, both in terms of the code to generate crypto and the blockchain transaction system. How a blockchain can record so many transactions in a very short time, never even crash.

This is something important that we must teach students. Crypto investment is an easy thing, I think we don't need to teach this too fast to the younger generation. This makes them forget something more important when it comes to knowing how to make money in the media.

I also believe that the inclusion of cryptocurrencies as a separate subject in the school curriculum is not yet an urgent need. With all my interest and respect for this topic, it is still worth knowing that it is too early to say that cryptocurrencies occupy such an important position in the global economy and finance that it should be given priority in the process of school education. Yes, there is some progressive movement in the spread of cryptocurrencies in the economy and finance, there are some successes in the recognition by the state, but there is still a lot of work to be done in this direction and a long work will have to be done in this direction. On the other hand, this does not negate the fact that familiarization with this topic can be carried out within the framework of other academic subjects related to finance and investment.

I think it's better to integrate the whole blockchain idea and not just focus on crypto-currency.

I don't see a reasonable reason why crypto-currencies alone should be part of the curriculum. With blockchain as the main subject, it will now also covers the cryptocurrency stuff and other related things.

Learning BTC, Learn ETH, Learn, etc., etc.  - these don't need their own subject.


Yes, it can be integrated into the Economy Subject as you mentioned. Much better to put it that way.

Can we find a way to make it possible? Actually, expect a country that will consider doing that once the community there is now being more vocal in crypto.

I believe that there are enough nations that can teach it, hell even on paper because theory would be good enough to start, but we do not even teach kids about money, let alone teach about cryptocurrency, we are asking for a lot more. Just a simple idea of how loans are taken to buy a house is the simplest economy related subject and no person knows about it from school, they learn about it in life.

I have seen people who bought 10+ houses when he figured out how he can trick banks on giving him loan when he has assets, and I have seen people with money having hard time buying a house. That is the trouble, I do not think that we could really change the school curriculum that easily.

Indeed, it would not be wrong if the school focused on creating new cryptocurrencies in schools, but in the end it must also be accompanied by an example that has been successful in the crypto space, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum or others. Because creating a new cryptocurrency with a different concept is a very difficult thing and it will not always be successful if there is little support and no examples as a starting point.

What has to be seen here is about the size of the younger generation as you said, because if the younger generation is over twenty years old, I think it would not be wrong to learn about crypto or anything related to crypto. Because at that age it is time for the younger generation to be creative and make new things that are more beneficial to themselves and all those around them. Not to mention if there are young people whose souls prefer to do business through the media, this will certainly be very good to be raised because the enthusiasm of young people is usually much greater when they want to start something to become big.

That seems to be the case because we have to see also whether the government allows cryptocurrencies to be adopted or not,
because if not it looks like the government will not include it in the school curriculum,
but regardless of what it is actually cryptocurrency is very interesting to learn

That would be more practical but it is not going to happen either, right now the capitalism which is being practiced in many countries is predatory in its nature, a clear example of this is the housing crisis of the US which caused the economic crisis of 2008, loans were given to people which banks knew very well they will never be able to pay their debts. But since this increased revenue they did not cared, and the people did not cared either as in their minds this was free money and the possibility of getting a house which they did not had before, and we know how that ended, so governments will probably never do something like that as they prefer their citizens to be ignorant of the truth.

I think it will gradually or over time it will happen. Because now Cryptocurrencies are increasingly known among the public and in almost all areas that are reached by the internet, there will definitely be a number of people who are already familiar with Crypto. even though those who know crypto are certainly not evenly distributed. but over time, knowledge about crypto will definitely be considered important and needed because the digital era will require people to learn it. because it will be one of the sciences needed in the face of an increasingly advanced digital era.

but I don't think there will be a special curriculum on crypto but more of an insertion sub module. maybe in economics majors there will definitely be discussions regarding crypto investment in the future and in schools majoring in information and communication there will be discussions about this too.

but the problem is that I still see that the teaching staff in schools today are not all literate with current technological advances. even the teachers in schools who use crypto I think there are still few. so it is not yet possible for those teachers in schools to teach about cryptocurrencies. but maybe the next generation of teachers, namely generation Z, so I think discussing crypto at school will make sense to be included in school lessons. because the next generation of teachers must be more than those who are familiar with crypto and have even entered it. so it's a matter of time.

Certainly unnecessary or do not be taught when elementary school, cryptocurrencies deserves to be included in economic lessons, namely the top school, of course, by knowing cryptocurrencies, students can have a picture to increase income or practice investment since school.

Perhaps, they can learn over time as well. And if the time will come that crypto is pushed through to teach in school, I believe they have also hired someone capable enough to teach students. It is only hard at the start but once there is continued learning and research, and teachers look at the market in a positive way, it becomes easy for them to understand. I think it needs constant training, it can't be done in one day, not even in 1 week. So, it was their responsibility how to do it in order to become effective.

If only finance and money management was a subject in school then every other person would be handling their expenses well.
But the truth is school does not make us learn how to grow money or how to become rich they are more inclined on to make us learn how to do a job.
The education is designed to turn an individual into an employee and not an entrepreneur.
This is the reason why schools don't have such subjects where they teach us about managing money, investing, earning, saving etc...
Here's a good thread just for a quick read https://www.quora.com/Hows-the-education-system-designed-to-make-the-poor-poorer?share=1

Scam projects are projects that are intentionally created by irresponsible people and their goal is only to want other people's money to come through the project. Okay, despite all that I think the Scam project can still be avoided by everyone even though it can't be eradicated at the root.

But in terms of schools, it only has to be explained in theory because the most important thing is how to build a new cryptocurrency-based project so that every student can better understand how the pattern of cryptocurrency has been going so far.

I think I have seen the questions multiple times on different boards, the idea of crypto being taught as an academic curriculum would be hard because economy wise, there have been different views from different people and from most of their conclusions, it will be very difficult to implement in schools but I know few schools where cryptography are been taught and recognized, in fact, the building blocks of bitcoin are been taught because they are technicalities that are been used in other technologies but the idea to teach crypto itself in school will be hard to implement especially with all these scandals that are challenging in crypto space, nobody wants to expose their children to high-risk investment without proper protections.

Even though adoption is continuously growing, I don't like the idea of crypto being discussed into schools. It's not necessary to go that far if your only purpose to integrate it is just to spread awareness. Internet is already enough source to learn about the fundamentals of cryptocurrencies. Cryptos are also very volatile so it should not be discussed hastily on students that don't have any idea yet about investing or entrepreneurship.

I disagree, we have been living in a fiat world for centuries, does that mean we are seeing fiat related classes and what not in school? Of course not, which is why I do not think that we will see crypto classes neither. However, we do not need classes.

Because, I believe the new generation could learn whatever they want from online places, there are udemy type of class and lesson based websites and youtube, which means if you have any questions then there will be someone who will explain to you what it is. I believe that as long as you are capable of doing that, there is no need for schools to teach you anything, you can learn what you want all by yourself.

And even if someone likes it, they still can't do anything but obey their government to not deal with it. This is why it's almost impossible for crypto be used by everyone or be called as a global currency the way the op wanted to happen.

On most countries, cryptos are allowed but the only problem is there are people who don't have an interest towards it. They still find fiat superior than crypto but the op is right that it has to deal with knowledge or information. Maybe those people simply lack of it? Which is why the op is suggesting a crypto education. I honestly love the idea of it and I think there are now schools who started implementing it.

introducing cryptocurrency in the world of education is an important thing in my opinion. because in the digital era like today, of course, all the needs of people's lives will gradually follow technological developments. like cryptocurrency in my opinion is part of today's digital technology.

Why introducing crytocurrency won't be a bad idea it will help beginners to get better understanding and why they should invest cryptocurrency. Most beginners think they need to invest cryptocurrency to become rich. But if schools starts adopting cryptocurrency into curriculum it will decrease the rate at which people think cryptocurrency is to make rich, it will help desperate beginners to know what they are supposed to understand first.

Very possible.

Perhaps later many people in the crypto market will agree that introducing cryptocurrencies into school curricula is a positive step. If both teachers and students are exposed to the benefits of cryptocurrencies early, it could lead to more investors and better decision making in the future.

In addition, if more people can see realistic investment returns from a young age, this also has the potential for a more stable financial future for the younger generation.

Currency may appear to be a simple and difficult subject to understand for students, but it is in fact, if you look at it in the context of BTC, ETH and other Cryptocurrencies.

All the great life lessons that are taught through experience especially when we are young, I think it will be very valuable to apply these concepts to the school curriculum especially the economics section.

Yeah which is why I think general money management, domestic economics, simple things like how not to put yourself into early debt by spending below your means. That's what's much more important than getting kids to understand how currency works... cryptocurrency should certainly form modern curriculum, only as the latest form of money, and to understand that there are alternative concepts of money, that's all.

Otherwise you're just getting people buying BTC for FOMO and hoping to get rish quick. We all know how badly that ends.

Let us say that teaching crypto in school is a good idea but of course, we consider the ages of the students to teach as this seems more difficult and techy than other subjects. Teaching this in very young minds is inappropriate in a situation where it was hard to absurd it in their minds. Some companies are are also conducting trainings and seminars that discuss crypto and it was also an alternative way of learning and I think it was been more effective as these people are known willing to learn, unlike in school - some students might hard to understand.

Cryptocurrencies, like stocks or forex, are considered a risky and highly profitable investment, so they are not suitable for inclusion in an educational curriculum. The introduction of investing too early in the school will cause students to lose focus in their studies and instead make money with their investments. It should be introduced but in a different place and at the right time.

Currently, cryptocurrency is still controversial for its legitimacy as well as numerous scams going on in the market. Therefore, it is not appropriate to introduce cryptocurrencies into schools at this time.

Trying to spread the awareness of altcoins at school would be a bad idea, however teaching people the history of money through the ages and how this eventually lead to the development of bitcoin is not a bad idea as in my opinion this should be general knowledge everyone should have, however this is not going to happen as it is not on the best interests of governments to do something like this, as this could open the eyes of many people and they could realize how much of a scam the fiat system really is.

Giving Cryptocurency subjects as a school curriculum, maybe we should divide it into several school levels. For example, if we want to provide this cryptocurrency curriculum to elementary schools (SD) and junior high schools (SMP) it may not provide so many benefits for these students, why is that? because, students at this level (SD and SMP) may still be under the age of 17 years and we all know that the world of cryptocurrencies is a world of digital investment and trading that has high risks.

maybe we can incorporate the cryptocurency curriculum into the high school level (SMA) or into the college (university) and even then, I think entering the cryptocurency curriculum requires in-depth study from various related parties such as teachers, parents, and educational institutions in the area.

as a first step in entering the cryptocurency curriculum into schools, maybe it would be wiser for us to include it in extracurricular subjects first and not include it in the main subjects so that after students understand well about the world of cryptocurrencies with all these high levels of risk, it is not impossible for cryptocurency subjects can be entered as a subject matter in schools around the world.

I guess even pros and experts in cryptocurrency do not know everything about it so there’s always a consistent training so that learning will always grow and improve. Just like most of the teachers, they are like  newbies to cryptocurrency but with continuous trainings and seminars conducted by school heads, these teachers will end up highly knowledgeable about cryptocurrency. And with crypto experiences too comes an effective way of learning which they can also successfully impart their first hand information to their students.

Right, it is time for everyone to know Cryptocurrencies so that they can train many people to invest and increase income, if not taught at school, the younger generation will be late and of course easily fooled because investing in the scam project.

Looking at the current development of crypto, what you said will definitely happen for the masses to come, currently some countries have used digital currencies as legal tender, so this must be learned by ordinary people so that they can use cryptocurrencies in buying daily necessities, then in the future cryptocurrencies will definitely be included in the school curriculum because this is already needed by the entire community, but all of this requires a process and must keep up with the times.

Well, I don't wish to guess where all of you are coming from, but here where I live in Serbia Schools are one big shit show! If you don't learn something on a side, if you don't pay for private lessons, you will probably get a degree but with 0 knowledge! And that's not a big problem, with connections you can get a job, and you can even advance to higher levels! Of course, if you are in a political party that is in power or you have someone on your side! In case you know what you are doing you will probably hit the sails and move to some other country in the west that respect a man that knows his job!

And we come to a simple conclusion, why would schools adopt learning about crypto and freedom?! A free man can't be a slave...

I am a liar if he is the only one in these, many people have pushed for the growth and increase of bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies, the process might take time be tike consuming, but certainly the mission of Satoshi and other bitcoiners will be accepted soon. Do you little part by increasing the usefulness and hiw effective it can be for people who thinks banks are better. Cryptocurrencies might also be too big to understand for kids so according to other users, finance and online skills should be attained which will help boost a countries economy.

Boosting up countries economy isnt something that we should always been tagged off or making it as a reason on why we should adopt and recognize Bitcoin or crypto as a whole.We do know that recognition

is on the move even though government on each country doesnt really have the same views and impressions towards it, this is why we do really see neither its been banned or had been allowed or making it as a legal

tender.It does really vary on each leader on particular places.We've seen already some universities which do really included out blockchain based courses which is really good to look at.
Integration is what we've been hoping but this process wont really be taking the fastest way or route.

Of course, you can't really know everything there is to know about crypto just because you are a trader who has been around for a while. Everyone makes losses at times, the biggest example of this is to look at wall street. Wall street is filled with companies who have been trading stocks for decades and even they make mistakes, hedge funds who control billions of dollars end up making a mistake as well.

So, there is no situation where you would be earning without ever losing because they lose too. If hedge funds with billions of dollars trusted to them end up losing while trading, then a professional crypto trader would lose while trading and wouldn't be uncommon.

As of now, it cannot be added to school curriculum since cryptocurrency is not yet regulated and massively adopted. The cryptocurrency field is too vast and it might expose people to a different idea that cryptocurrency is a great aid for poverty or to earn money. Third-world country is just starting to learn and adapt to cryptocurrency, I doubt if the government will fully accept it too soon since it will be difficult to regulate. It's true that there are a lot of opportunities that can be open once cryptocurrency is adapted, however, we are way to far from it. Most people are not aware of crypto yet, most people who knew about it has a wrong impression or understanding about crypto.

In this case there are pluses and minuses, of course, because regardless of anything, if you look at it from a more complicated perspective, it does seem like it's not very suitable to be taught to school-age children, but of course Crypto also adjusts. We don't have to give heavy lessons such as about lightning networks, mining or software that can indeed be used to support but only some of the basics that make them little by little so they can know what Crypto is like.
Of course, with increasingly sophisticated technology and many school-age children who are always curious, this can be a benchmark that Crypto can be included in schools.
Instead of them looking for access and finding the wrong way, of course we better introduce them first in the right way.

You can't force everyone to like or support crypto, because their mindset is different, and they have the right to make their own choices.

and in my opinion if crypto is included in school lessons, it might be okay,
but I think it's more precisely at the university,
because if in high school it is not good,
it will affect other lessons, because school children are still unstable in their thinking.

A good thing if we introduce cryptocurrencies to school children and become an official curriculum, developments are always dynamic and we hope that schools can also follow the trend that is happening so that there are many advantages if used as an official curriculum at school.

I agree with you on this, Development should be a continuous process, But as you know everyone has an opinion here, and looking at the way things are paving out, I'm sure one day it will definitely happen, a lot of people claimed that government are against Crypto policies, but few days ago I read about 3 to 7 different countries of the world discussing the implementation of crypto into their payment system, by doing so adoption will keep increasing and sooner or later, it will be implemented.

Also note it's all about going deeper about the complications in it, I do believe if the basics of it are being taught in school, student will do their own research to determine their own precious faith. That's my take on this

If the basic of Crypto currency and Blockchain are being taught in school, you can only imagine, how impactful it will be to this present and next generation to come, if Bitcointalk forum was made to be an higher institutions, imagine the number of graduates and lecturers we'll have out there to ditches out teaching about this unique innovation brought upon us.

In our various schools of today, We're being taught things that makes us stand out to compete with one another, Finance, Enterprenurship is not even be taught in school, Even the economics and the rest there's no proper guide in business investment, now for a seconds imagine having the Subject of BlockChain basic functionality being taught in school, I honestly believe it will create a huge some of world next billionaires. Just my opinion based on my research

In my opinion, the role of the government is very important to provide education about cryptocurrencies, maybe it can be included in economic lessons so that there is no need for special fields, 6 months in my opinion is enough time to make students understand Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain.

well theres a saying that personal finance does not taught in school.

With all that's happening, If schools will be honest enough, and teach a lot of students, this Blockchain technology and various components that follows, along with Crypto currency and the basic things needed to know, I'm sure this world would be a better place by now

Being discussed as a sub topic, yes, but as a main subject? What for? It has nothing much of a contribution to the curriculum. Indeed it is a profitable investment but it won't contribute to your academe, let us deparate that. On economics class or some related subj, it could be used as an example as an asset. There are many forms of investments but why do you guys think only a few (yes including real estate properties), were brought up? Because not all investments are beneficial to the society. Bitcoin at this moment is volatile and free of tax, how will it contribute then?  It has advantages as a currency indeed but let us be realistic.

I think this is a good idea because it introduces students to the latest technology trends so that they can be ready to accept technology, of course what we have to worry about is if the student tries to invest and he forgets about school.

I think it is better to pay more attention to the cryptocurrency industry in the cycle of economics courses at universities, where young people can already consciously manage their money. Schoolchildren are still children. It is better to pay more attention to career guidance in the school curriculum.

It should be but unfortunately, probably no time soon.  Why won't it be integrated into school curriculums?  Because here they don't even have basic finance integrated into school curriculums, much more of an uphill fight that will get stuck in backlog.

The technology behind cryptocurrency could be included into curriculum such as blockchain for the security and the encryption for the data could be some of the curriculum worth to learn at the school.
But investing on cryptocurrency in school? That's not the place to learn that. You have to learn it elsewhere by yourself, teacher shouldn't bother about that. That's way to risky to teach especially in school or university involving money, students in school are not capable yet to manage the emotions and afford the money to be able to start investing on cryptocurrency.

Integrating cryptocurrencies into school curricula is a great idea, but it’s not easy to implement, it’s not yet accepted in most regions. And if it’s poorly managed, it will only trap more people in high-risk investments. Educate and learn about cryptocurrency awareness when it has spread widely around the world.

 It is good idea and will be a step forward towards adoption of crypto on masses level. I think the main issue in Bitcoin adoption is its volatility that makes it very unstable currency and its speed is slow which makes the transaction fee very high, if all these issues are resolved, Bitcoin will be adopted at a very fast pace.

It is equally important that we teach our children Blockchain which  emerging technology and crypto is its product, we need to teach children by analogies or let them experience it by using it in video games so that can learn to use it.

maybe it doesn't matter if it's only included as an additional lesson in economics in the investment chapter. but regarding Blockchain and other tech-based things in crypto it might be suitable to be included in the information and communication sub-course. the point is at least there should be an introduction. But I think in the future this will indeed be done. because the curriculum in schools is always updated every year following the times.

do you mean elementary school or college?

I think that college is indeed possible and I also strongly recommend it, because college students must have mature and stable thoughts.

but if it's elementary school, that's not possible, because children will definitely be confused about getting crypto-heavy subject matter, even adults sometimes are still confused a lot, and if forced to feel sorry for their children,
but it doesn't hurt,
but I do not agree if applied in elementary schools.

It can be added to the curriculum by examining it among the sub-branches of economics. There are also risks associated with this condition. We should not ignore this. For example, due to the high risk in crypto, a student can be deceived and suffer huge losses just because he thinks he has knowledge. Even if only technology-related training is given, the person cannot prevent himself from investing. This advice may come with some risks.

Integrating cryptocurrency in school curriculum has two huge problems - lack of accredited programs and no teachers. Until government have a clear understanding what is cryptocurrency, is it bad or good, there will never be a school lessons as "cryptocurrency". Besides, what exactly should kids be taught ? About mining? Algorithms? Contracts? Anonymity? Earning-trading? Coding? Scamming? Giving just basics is like learning alphabet from A do F, while there are bunch of other letters. Having "cryptocurrency" lessons for several years? That isnt good also, because not everyone wants to connect his future with crypto, and teaching by force is a big NO imo. And most important - who would teach kids cryptocurrency? Teacher of economics ? Mathematics? Computer science? School need separate teachers for that, it will take years for prepare such people. So is it really that necessary, when a lot can be taught from the internet or google?

I think blockchain knowledge should be integrated into IT and programming courses. As for crypto investment, it is also part of the financial sector just like the stock market or forex, these things we can learn in training centers or you can learn on your own online. They are not the kind of knowledge that everyone likes or needs, stock and forex trading has been around for a long time and they were never suggested in schools.

Many processes are difficult to add cryptocurrency lessons without the legality of cryptocurreny status because the government will not approve its accreditation and the government will not budget funding for teachers who teach cryptocurreny subjects, so the main factor that must get legality from the government even though its use is limited as a futures asset and not an exchange (currency). If the legality process is complete, it is very easy to get competent teachers to study cryptocurrency because the government has supported the government to provide school budgets for practical purposes and financing for teacher salaries.

Even if it is included in the curriculum, it should be included in the curriculum content above the university, such as graduate courses, it is not good to be exposed to such high-risk things when young people are not mature enough.

Easy to get teachers - I have a complete opposite opinion. As teachers usually get low salary (I think this is common to most of the countries), there will be low demand on becoming a cryptocurrency teacher. And the role of teaching about cryptocurrency will be given to old or current teachers mostly. I am pretty much sure, that they wont have a full understanding of what they are going to teach.

Besides, what exactly should they teach about. The question is, should they teach just basics during several lessons. Or should it be a program for several semesters or years? Second option is complicated. I dont think parents would agree to have an extra lesson, when knowledge about cryptocurrency isnt needed for everyone. For example I am not sure that I need all that knowledge I have learned about chemistry in school. One semester will be enough, but chemistry was in my school program for 5 years.

I think it’s a bit about being like a missionary, I mean they do not get paid a lot but they go to Africa to talk about Christianity or something. That’s not done because they love money or they want that to be their life, those people usually do not get a house and a car and be wealthy.

Here, we are talking about people like that, sure cover the cost so that they could live, we cannot just expect free teachers, they will need a salary, but for positions like this, it’s a bit more about ideals and not just about the business. So if there is a crypto lover, he will attend a seminar or a course, and will be tested heavily and if they know everything very well, they can teach people. Still far way off though, we don't even have financial education to kids.

It could also be integrated on an economics subject much sure but having a sole course outline then it can really be done and the fact that there are already universities had been offering these courses.
Actually its really been taught on some schools which is really indeed a good thing on widespreading bitcoin/crypto's existence which is really a win-win situation if we do talk about recognition.
Lets just not make ourselves in a hurry if we do speak about adoption because it would surely takes time before it would be giving out such impact or effect.
Adoption is on the move and it would surely be taking time before we would really be able to see. Knowledge and information is really scattering out but of course it would be still
depending on a country whether it would really be allowed or not which its pretty common situation.So lets just be patient when it comes to this.

We are speaking about school here, universities is a different kind of thing. When signing for university, people already make orientation on their future. Those who go to language oriented university for example, wont study cryptocurrency. But as to schools, all the things they learn are identical to every school. Which makes cryptocurrency an obligatory lesson for everyone. What should I do in I want to become a mechanic, study cryptocurrency as well? I think having 5-10 lessons as basics is ok, but having 5 years of cryptocurrency lessons is to much. Not everyone wants to connect their life with cryptocurrency.

This issue should be treated separately. Let’s break it down first: 1. University courses. 2. Digital currency. 3 Blockchain underlying technology. These are the three important elements that I understand. The setting of professional courses in universities is based on the objective needs of the real world. The professionals trained by universities should be technicians, not traders in the digital currency market. Bitcoin and other altcoins are only part of the financial market. Second, the current huge volatility of digital currency itself also tells us that there are huge risks in this industry, and it is not suitable for students to participate in it. Finally, the underlying technology of the blockchain can currently be set up in universities for related professional courses.

It's clearly not appropriate to put crypto in schools. Currently, besides investing, crypto really doesn't have many applications in life and if we want to learn or learn about it, it doesn't take 5 years of learning like you said. For a new investor to fully understand the market, it only takes a few months of hard work to grasp all the basics of the market. Crypto is just a profitable investment like stocks or real estate, it's not knowledge like economics or math that we'll all need later on.

This will finally happens but it will take sometimes for this to be integrated in school curriculum. I know some countries that had already enforce cryptocurrency have started this and it will take some times for we to see this been taught in Schools around the world. For now, it is based on interest since everyone does not support the idea of cryptocurrency and the government had not come out boldly to tell us that they are fully in support of every respect of crypto, so we can teach people around us about what cryptocurrency is all about till when everything will be endorsed.

it's true, there are still too many cryptocurrencies that have not been accepted, and perhaps one might say that they are not ready to use them as an important aspect of the lives of citizens in their daily activities. On the other hand, I don't think the government is carelessly integrating knowledge because there will be lots of risks if it does.
it's not about being stupid and being smart to move on. the government must also consider the bad possibilities that could happen to its citizens.
until now the government and researchers are still in the research stage looking for ways to make it safer from cyber attacks because cryptocurrency is still vulnerable to them.

we don't know what will happen if all students adopt crypto, and what kind of impact it will have on their environment and their families.
why is that? because when talking crypto is, trading, profit. all of this will stimulate the mindset of students to become rich, not the utility and benefits that are prioritized.

I also agree cryptocurrencies have a lot of inadequacies, rushing into schools will easily lead to mistakes. It needs to be adjusted and researched further before being included in education.
Honestly, other than using it as an investment, I haven't seen any other benefits of crypto, other than investing, I really don't know what to do next with it.
Nowadays when it comes to crypto people will immediately think of investment, it does not have many applications in life, it is not like other subjects in school.

I agree with the plan for cryptocurrencies to be included in the school curriculum, it can be said that if it is included in the school curriculum it will prevent people from being exposed to scam projects, currently cryptocurrencies are often trending because there are many victims and it makes it difficult for the government to stop the scam project.

It will be quite a long process to achieve that. As is the case with the process of cryptocurrency being accepted by many people now, because I am very sure of those of us who support cryptocurrency there are some people who initially rejected this. This is based on my experience, of course, because there were several people I know who at first did not agree with the existence of cryptocurrencies, until they understood and until now they agree with its existence.
Of course, getting it into the school curriculum will be a more difficult process, because it will involve a lot of government agencies to support or not the movement.

After all, when it is included in the school curriculum, the scam project will disappear?
OK, now here it is. Regardless of which country you come from, if the government or the education office wants to include cryptocurrency lessons in the school curriculum, then they must choose the level first because cryptocurrency lessons are not possible to include at the elementary school level or for children under 10 years of age.

Scam projects cannot be eradicated at any time because they were born based on the intentions of those who created them. Although everyone can still avoid getting caught up in a scam project, it should be noted that it cannot be eradicated at its root. And the cryptocurrency trend itself is actually becoming famous not only because of scam projects, but also because there are more successful projects and people who have become independent and rich through cryptocurrencies.

Cryptocurrency course curriculum is only worth adding for the university level in the faculties of economics and informatics engineering, general knowledge about Bitcoin is based on these two faculties but can also be added for vocational schools with lessons adjusted for the level of student knowledge, based on information on vocational schools in El Salvador has already graduated 38 students for the Bitcoin diploma and it is possible that the project for the Bitcoin diploma graduation will be developed for the next level up to university.

Scam projects will never disappear but can be anticipated to avoid wrong coin investments, many victims of scam projects because they have no knowledge of investing in crypto and cannot identify some important points to avoid scam projects, they only rely on getting profit double by following the hype trend on twitter or other media, but there is no risk control of big losses if it does not meet expectations, that is why knowledge about investing in crypto is important and if the cryptocurrency curriculum has been adopted in schools or universities then more traders and investors are saved from investing in scam projects.

Spreading awareness in finance lessons of how to get rid of scammers will be enough for the younger generation to be knowledgeable about scam projects. We can't control their existence because scammers are also smart to create smart moves on how to scam people. They can use the situation through different platforms to fool people but if students will be enlightened about their strategies, they will be able to gain knowledge on how to avoid them in the future.

I would prefer blockchain technology to enter the national education curriculum instead of cryptocurrencies. In fact, when the blockchain technology course is given, it may be possible to provide information about cryptocurrencies in the course. If this is done, students can be given a more comprehensive education. Apart from that, I think that financial literacy education should be given to people of all ages. I think it is an issue as important as cryptocurrencies because a person who is conscious about this issue will evaluate cryptocurrencies from a better perspective.

I agree if Cryptocurrencies are included in the school curriculum, like it or not cryptocurrencies is a fantastic phenomenon since the last 10 years, moreover more and more recognition from millionaires and countries that officially receive bitcoin, although initially there is a rejection but slowly more countries that provide leeway and even accept bitcoin and receive bitcoin .

That is why there is no need to teach specifically about bitcoin or cryptocurrency as we have already finance or economics subject that will tackle already on managing investments and assets. And seeing the fact that the government is not fully supporting it yet, so most probably the school’s curriculum focus will still be on fiat which is the main currency.

I partially agree with your opinion. Familiarity with Bitcoin will not have the expected benefit because it simply cannot be taught without exposure to many aspects such as the history of money and the emergence of technologies that affected it. Blockchain is one of those technologies that can be employed in many ways, not just Bitcoin events. Bitcoin can be taught as an independent subject for economics students in universities, but not for schoolchildren, for whom it is better to introduce the blockchain before exposure to the applications that can be created through it.

Why shouldn’t it? In my opinion it should be taught in schools.  Kt’s  important to talk about as much financial stuff as you can do why limit yourself so much. Personally I think schools overall need to make sweeping changes to the curriculum as so much of it are things that people will simplify never need or end up using going forward.

Perhaps, countries that ban cryptocurrencies just want to promote their own currency, or they fear that cryptocurrencies can lead to a lot of financial crimes.

Incorporating cryptocurrencies into the school curriculum, in my opinion, is not good. This is because it can cause students' minds to only focus on cryptocurrency and not focus on other education.

State parties can of course conduct research before agreeing to any decisions related to cryptocurrencies. Because anything that can be very contrary to the rules that already exist in the country can of course be changed for the better and will not harm all parties when crypto currency is legalized and for example it also exists at this time, namely El-Salvador.

This can also be suppressed or explained in advance to all students when they want to be included in the school curriculum so that they don't just focus on one thing or one subject, but must focus on all subjects so they can understand more knowledge that they can. use when leaving school. Because students can choose certain fields that they like when they graduate from school.

They don’t want you and I to be ahead finances before your age, they are afraid that’s why they are so keen on teaching demand and supply that you can learn from your parents, the teachers imagination is also programmed to forced students to be the best among them and fight for first in every activity while ignoring that life outside school doesn’t work that way, the people we thought they wouldn’t succeed after school usually be the ones who excelled with wealth and success.

Bitcoin adoption with the government’s hasn’t been in a cordial relationship so the idea of teaching cryptocurrency will be hard for now, may be in future when things change, we may see it everywhere.

That's one way to put things why they ban cryptocurrencies because for them, digital currencies are still an unexplored water for them and people with resources can take advantage of it (especially for crimes to launder money) while the government are still studying about it. Moreover, the governments can't control this currency because it's decentralized.


I agree, there's a lot more important stuffs that a student should learn rather than adding cryptocurrency to their curriculum. I know it does have an advantage if we decide to add it, but that advantage also have its own disadvantages. Apart from that, students can still learn it if they're seeking financial courses but not on a bigger scale.

Cryptocurrency curriculum is more profitable if cryptocurrencies have been legalized in government regulations so that the crypto community can develop crypto projects based on licenses that have been verified by government agencies. I might speculate for future generations because young crypto graduates can have the opportunity to create jobs to reduce unemployment. So compared to the formal curriculum which must be studied in stages, the crypto curriculum is more effective for creating independent jobs because students can apply their knowledge to the cryptocurrency space.

I guess this is not for high schools, it will be very preferable for higher institutions. High school students needs more knowledge in commerce, economics as to get understandings about finance. The high school is place of people of young age, they might not have good understanding about cryptocurrency if they haven't been taught finance properly. Education in cryptocurrency is very important  for people to know what to do with their finance.

With the emerging markets and technologies today, I believe that there's really a need for it. We've been stuck to the outdated topics that has been there for ages. I know that it's not that bad at all and they're still applicable and important.

But what is it to add some new flavor to subjects and topics to deal with? Especially on this generation, when many people don't know that finances and technology could be tied into one thing, a product and a cryptocurrency, an investment - a payment method.

It's time for cryptocurrencies to enter the school curriculum so that students can get to know them earlier, a lot of what students will get when they get to know cryptocurrencies, for example, is creating a new blockchain network that can be used for many purposes, for example, school payment transactions and so on.

Indeed, teaching the basics of bitcoin and blockchain must be preceded by theoretical and practical lessons of financial systems, and ensuring that the student is proficient in the mechanisms of critical and evolutionary analysis.  On this basis, it is not possible to teach Bitcoin in the first years of education until the end of high school.  A course can be added to teach the blockchain in the fields of economics, management, finance, data technology and media sciences in general.  It's really a combination of all of that.

If bringing blockchain technology into education is a great idea because blockchain will be the technology of the future. but if bringing bitcoin and crypto to market is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. After all, they are just investments like other investments such as gold, foreign exchange, the purpose is to make a profit, not to bring any benefits to society. So it's not necessary to force everyone to know about it.

There are a couple of educational institutions who have acknowledged bitcoin and cryptocurrency, so much so that they included it in lessons and curriculum. Though these institutions are few and far between given that the government passively vetoes the use of it and in conjunction, the teaching of how to use it as well as its benefit. They'd soon realize how futile their efforts were though, especially as we are undergoing a paradigm shift in everything including the education system, where more and more learners are in the know of what they wanna know and what they don't want to. The adoption process will take time, but the fact that we are already seeing institutions like the ones I have told earlier be open and receptive about teaching crypto is a good sign that we are on our way there.

There are schools already who integrate crypto on their curriculum but obviously, the number of them is still low but I know that their number can grow later on knowing that the popularity of crypto is also growing. It's important for the students to learn crypto as early as possible because they can get benefits from it like they can start investing on it at a very young age.

We know that crypto value can grow huge. By the time these kids are already at their proper age, that will be the time that they will use the money that they have invested. It can greatly help them. Another one is they can land a career easily because crypto jobs are going to be in demand in the future.

Teaching children about the decentralised network will let them know the basics as well as make them understand the positive and negative things of decentralisation. Adding curriculum to the school children needs to be done in such a way that it should not make them feel bored.

El Salvador have begun diploma program on bitcoin with the support of the Ministry of Education. Such a move could be taken by different countries and further moved down to the level of schools. Governments launching book similar to "My First Bitcoin" will let people around understand bitcoin in a simple way. Maybe such books can be distributed on schools.

Schools should be able to adjust to the trends that occur, blockchain technology is developing rapidly so that it is worth entering the curriculum, sometimes the education office is afraid to include cryptocurrencies because they think it has not been legalized, but we must take the positive side that transactions in the blockchain are a future system that will dominate or replace traditional system.

Many argue that cryptocurrencies must enter the school curriculum, just like a few years ago when social media is very massive so propose to enter the school curriculum, of course it is natural because schools must be able to choose important priorities because school hours are full and maybe in a few years will enter the curriculum.

I respect your topic OP but I am sorry to say, this will never work because implementing crypto into school curriculum is like teaching people how to make money, meaning you have literally turn school to > no need to work for the government anymore.

Remember, the coldest truth about school is get your degree and serve the government, live on the government money and pay your debts, once crypto is into school you have set workers free from the hands of the government.

This is the last thing the government would want to see.
