Bitcoin Forum

Bitcoin was the first decentralized cryptocurrency, which first released as an open-source software in 2009 but didn't reach public attention.
 
Now, crypto education becomes a priority for world-class education institutions such as University of the Cumberlands (United Kingdom), University of the West of England (United Kingdom), University of Toronto (Canada), University of Warwick (United Kingdom), University of Waterloo (Canada), University of Westminster (United Kingdom), etc.

Learning cryptocurrency will attract you towards the digital world and internet technology. It will prepare you for the future, since digital world is here to stay, and technology is progressing and evolving rapidly.

Is it time for the whole world to embrace, adapt, add it in educational curriculum and teach cryptocurrency to the youth?

I think awareness is more important rather then education if a person knows there is something called crypto and there is Bitcoin which can be future money then the person Is going to Educate himself on his own efforts. Open up a college or institute to crypto and the neighbors don't even know there is something called BTC.

Dude agreed youth need be educated for the Crypto...
But
Awareness is the First step and Education second step.

Apart from the many negative sentiments that continue to circulate in the market towards cryptocurrencies, the development of cryptocurrencies is actually growing at this time, even many from educational institutions are starting to educate students, university students and the general public about the benefits of crypto today, of course, with these seminars it will open up more  for our eyes on the benefits of cryptocurrency in every sector of life in the modern era as it is today, besides that I think with the widespread development of cryptocurrencies today, maybe schools need to create a new curriculum that can indeed educate students about cryptocurrencies at school.

CryptoCurrency is a subcategory of technology and/or finance. On the top of my head, it doesn't make much sense for it to have a separate subject/course; and that there are lots of things to prioritize than crypto.

Also, a digital world doesn't automatically mean that 'world' uses cryptocurrencies.

Education about Bitcoin or Cryptocurrency in the world is not only introduced in universities, it needs to be presented to almost all people in the world. Cryptocurrency is now spread like a net across the globe. You notice that people are more opportunistic towards cryptocurrencies nowadays than in the past.

Because more and more people are trying to learn something modern, cryptocurrency has come to a stage now which is just attracting people. People will slowly come to the technology dependent stage where Only technical work will be done.

Finally I would like to say that Bitcoin is now spread like a net around the world.

Its likely not cryptocurrency that they are interested but only the Blockchain and how it can be used to future projects.
After he dotcom bubble the big macro investors were already seeking where the development of technology will head and they were speculating AI and robotics will be developed further where we can see flying cars but surprisingly the rise of Blockchain technology made them wrong.

Yup. Cryptocurrency is always linked to Blockchain and can be in taught in school universities for new innovators to explore.

I think crypto education is still included in the scope of economic education, and what needs to be harmonized is the economics material in schools that should be adapted to modern conditions. If it is included in the curriculum, it is still quite far, but if it is included in the curriculum sub-chapter, it can be considered. Provided that the education has qualified facilities (at least the provision of computers). However, not all education in other parts of the country provides such learning media services. Lagging behind, limitations, and minimal budget are the biggest obstacles to achieving ideal educational goals.

Talking about education is certainly very broad, and I think that incorporating cryptocurrency material into learning is the duty of the minister of education. The problem is that not every country is open, recognizing, and aware of the role of cryptocurrencies in the realm of economic growth.

actually crypto education doesn't have to be a top priority at universities, not everyone gets this knowledge from universities usually they get it themselves from studying in this forum, I think this forum can also provide someone's knowledge and experience in the crypto field, but I support that also the importance of learning about blockchain technology used by cryptocurrencies is also needed because we do not know in the future this technology will be useful or not

There are a lot of Universities around the world that is opening up with crypto education and even accepting crypto payments as well. So I'm not surprised that this numbers are growing like every year. Those schools and universities wanted to be the first one to have this kind of course, and perhaps they know that this is the future and so they are willing to test the waters specially coming from big universities from UK and USA.

I checked one of the unis listed by the op (Toronto), and I found one course on Bitcoin and crypto investing, as well as some crypto-related events. But is there a program there or in any of the universities the op listed that it specifically dedicated to cryptos, Blockchain or Bitcoin? Can you major in it or get a degree in it? If not, then I wouldn't call crypto education a priority of these institutions, as a course (or even several courses) is a very small thing if we consider how many courses there are per program, how many faculties there are etc. But there are bits of crypto education that are becoming available at the level of higher education in various countries around the world, I'd agree with that.

Crypto education is very important for those who do not have slightly knowledge on how the market works and the safety of holding and keeping there coin from becoming a victim of scammers which is necessary. Even crypto education has nothing to do with university education but those who know more about programming will find it easier to grab the knowledge than the people that do not.
Learning new things should be our priority and now that we have to he opportunity to have know about cryptocurrency then it will be interesting to education other people around us.

They can add it on the topics per se for each of the subjects that's being taught in schools. It's up to the schools if they're going to included it on their curriculum as a main subject.

But I think, giving the students an idea on what is blockchain and cryptocurrency are already enough by having it under a subject and main topic which revolves about money, finance, economy and in IT classes.

They can also make up some special classes that only teaches about these two if they want to since we're already seeing it being offered on some of short courses online.

When the crypto currency was born,the people not believed the bitcoin will reach this much high.Every year,the people was get into the crypto currency by the various way.The most of Developed countries people get into the crypto currency trading and holding huge amounts of bitcoin from that years.The crypto education was in process in huge countries as you had mentioned.But in the developing countries,most of the people not earn their knowledge about the crypto currency yet.

Its been already a while which there are already some universities who do really able to add up blockchain courses or lessons into their curriculum but of course it would be always boils down on regulation

or on how the government would be allowing cryptocurrency things to ran into their vicinity.You do know that government doesnt really like decentralized things but we've seen that there are places or

parts of the world which do see positive things on crypto thats why they do accept it out but there are places which is still that in  neutral and the worst they do ban it out.
But good for those who do lived on a country which does have positive considerations towards cryptocurrencies.

Same feelings bro,only few people know about the crypto currency in the year of 2009.After the price of bitcoin had crossed the value of 1k dollars,people give attention to the crypto currency.Then some new crypto currency was started by many people.The people who had bitcoin from the 2016 ,will had huge money.It may happened to you.But you had experience this at the price of 65k dollars rise in the price of bitcoin.Awareness is still need to most of crypto currency.

I do not that crypto education becomes the priority of world-class education.  As far as I can remember many university integrate the study of cryptocurrency in their curriculum because it is trending and wanted to take advantage of this trend to cater to students that are interested in cryptocurrency and blockchain.


I think the Digital world doesn't only convey with cryptocurrency.  There are lots of aspects besides cryptocurrency that attract people to the digital world.  Cryptocurrency is just a part of a vast world of Digital Technology.


Any technological advancement or improvement must be put into the educational curriculum so it is a no-brainer to say that crypto and blockchain must be integrated to educational curriculum.

I think bitcoin and crypto can be added as subjects as long as the government allows it in a country. and if the government allows and crypto subjects exist, it will certainly help and provide good opportunities, for the future of the students.

if government provides such program, it will be very useful to increase the awareness of cryptocurrency. unfortunately, many countries don't support this to be in the education program. that is why everytime I heard about certain colleges to provide education program especially for crypto, I really appreciate it. this may not be easy. some people may accept and some maybe not. but if this is in the college, Inthink that the students have their awareness to choose and learn about this.
actually awareness about crypto is not only can be got from education institution but also from any sources. moreover this day, there are so kany online sources to gain the knowledge. the education may becomes one of the ways tonsupports learning and being aware of crypto amd blockchain technology.

Crypto Education might be one of the best thing that might happen in terms of academics. I think the idea of crypto is somehow related to Economics, I agree to that. Yet I think the point is to make a separate academic education about it so that the specific idea of crypto might discuss and introduce. And yes, one of the most thing needed is the material. We all know that Crypto is under the idea of modern technology, so we think that it is best to learn under modern technology but I think the point also is to have a very unique and effective way of teaching crypto and have a lot of different ways of teaching it so that people might have a lot of ways to learn depends on what suits them. Crypto have a such big impact to us right now. And I knew a lot of people who have at least make their own life good because of it. 

Rightly said and thinking about it, how many of us here actually had a formal education in cryptocurrency or Bitcoin in particular? It was all about being aware that something is happening which is Bitcoin and we just got interested and along the way started to educate ourselves about it and certainly not in the classroom. It is however a good thing that this is happening in schools, the education for Bitcoin and the Blockchains and I also believe in the near future we will be seeing more crypto-savvy people because of the Crypto Education in the institutions now. 

You should know that Bitcoin comes in an informal way, I don't expect much education on it by people. Most people are interested in the adoption of crypto simply because of the transaction and money they want to earn from it as it comes with various opportunities. Except a few that are interested in deeper knowledge, and these people are technical, and are willing to program. Regardless of what class anyone falls in, I will not blame them for this. Formal education on crypto will gain more attention only when it proves more worthy of employments in the future.

Crypto currency has been very consistent for years now and still yet has no much awareness. Crypto education is quite alright and very much good for proper understanding and clarity on how it works but work needs to be done in creating awareness so people would be much more aware of it's existence and how it works. When called to their awareness, then they would be willing to learn about it instantly without any much stress. Curricular activities can be set up in the universities for Crypto currency just like OP has mentioned that there are universities around the world that has already set up curricular/courses dedicated to crypto currency education in their various universities. This would go along way making the people more interested in it and increasing more adoption of Bitcoin globally. When the people gets educated in schools about Bitcoin and Crypto currency, they will go about educating others and this would lead to a wide and fast spread of Crypto because information is passive and dynamic. So therefore, it is expected that such information goes viral after being circulated through awareness and education in a classroom settings. This way, we can be rest assured that the message about Crypto and Bitcoin would definitely reach to the nook and crannies of all part of the world.

Exactly, today bitcoin and cryptocurrency apart from being considered an investment, it does not have too many practical applications in our lives, we love cryptocurrencies because they have high profit potential for us, but there are also many people who don't like them because of their high volatility. There is currently no official regulation for the crypto industry, so besides the huge profits there are also a lot of scams going on. The introduction of cryptocurrency into education sometimes does more harm than good, while today crypto enthusiasts can still find crypto literacy everywhere on the internet. I wonder, once regulation is enacted and if crypto becomes more stable, how many people will really care about it.

With just basic knowledge one can own and use cryptocurrency, take Bitcoin for example. One does not need to have technical knowledge before one can buy and hold Bitcoin as long as you can have a wallet on your mobile or desktop internet device you can safely store Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is highly privacy-conscious and for that one does not need to expose all your financial dealing by trying to convince people to adopt cryptocurrency as an alternative, by just creating awareness among the Mobile they are good to go with that as long as cryptocurrency is concerned.

Yes, it is time for all schools to impart crypto knowledge to all schools like they are teaching finance and technology. In a fast-changing world, it is super necessary for students to learn what's new and what's old so they won't get stuck behind. Children are the future so they need to be exposed according to their gifts, skills, and interests. But somehow, basic finance and technology are also being taught in all courses and even at secondary levels. Bitcoin is part of finance and blockchain is part of technology and they will play important roles in the coming years. And who knows, the next biggest inventions are the mere enhancements of Bitcoin and its blockchain.

Crypto education is important but it should not be made crypto education a priority, we should make crypto as a side education because there are many other lessons that we must focus on and prioritize, there are still many ways for us to learn about crypto, because I personally have never pursuing higher education I only graduated from high school but by reading on google and entering the bitcoin forum and being directed by my friend, now I can understand about all crypto currencies.

The world I'd rather prefer bitcoin which has made history and namebeven than the cryptocurrency it serve under, teaching bitcoin in schools is a very lucrative idea to help positioned the young ones to learning about bitcoin through the engagements of their academic school curriculum, but we cannot recommend cryptocurrency in general because we all know that in cryptocurrency there lies a lot of coins and are not worth a standard for currency, many were also scam while some die along the way like a flame and take away investors assets along, so teaching bitcoin as an instrucional material in schools is a way of securing the advance technology for the generations coming.

In my country, there is no such subject that teaches bitcoin. Nonetheless, I see a lot of young people who are passionate about crypto and are well-versed in it. What conclusion can we draw? It is simply impossible to stop it. Even without teaching at the official level, people still come to it and get knowledge from sources that are distributed on the network. 
Therefore, I do not see a big problem with education. As with mobile phones, sooner or later, everyone will see the full benefits of bitcoin.

I have no idea why many people are want a crypto or Bitcoin education for the youth generation when not all youth generation are really want to learn about crypto or Bitcoin. Money management and investment are enough to be teached since it can contain a lot discussion about money and which asset they're want to invest. Maybe they're not believe Bitcoin because it's intangible asset or they're scared due to high volatility etc.

When the benefits of bitcoin or crypto have begun to be felt, they will find out what crypto is and what its functions and advantages are. This of course will become common knowledge in the community. do not need to be included in the educational curriculum, because this will be gradual. The more modern society, the higher the mindset to be able to find out what technology is developing.



Some people think so, but some also believe in bitcoin or cryptocurrencies. although intangible but real benefits. High volatility is a risk that must be known in advance. any investment, all have risks with their respective doses.

I've never had a crypto education in school or anywhere else, I started learning crypto on my own of my own accord.

I do think that the world is slowly adapting to a digitalized version of services. The more that innovations would be introduced, the more that our current system of payment methods would also improve. Along with this change, the introduction of BTC and the blockchain would be very relevant in the coming future.


It is already time for the world to start embracing this concept. There are already some countries who started to integrate cryptocurrencies to their finances and economics. For example, there are countries who started to recognize and use BTC as a form of legal tender in their country. Also, there are also countries that would set-up different cryptocurrency islands for its further development.

Bitcoin is way away from becoming a part of education curriculum at lower grades. Rather cybercrime and safety on the internet should be the next addition into the curriculum then gradually move to cryptography and crypto currency. It is more of a specialized course in my opinion and the brain required to understand this is not of a school kid.

I am against the idea that we should force feed everything that we want to our kids. Let them learn on their own and make their own decisions and if they find interest they will have a better outcome trying to catch hold of it.

What to be understood is that few countries have barely accepted Bitcoin and so is going to be a slow process until the time when some countries will feel left out and start doing the chase. Nothing wrong to try educating young people alongside money management because that is also about investment or options to invest and you won't turn down that possibility of financial growth for the young. The youths are the new generation and bitcoin is veritable for use in different places, platforms, apps and what more so why not. It is easier to transact with bitcoin wherever only to have the simple knowledge of wallet address and how to send and receive coin is enough to start an interest for further information and education.

Well, the word crypto most often used to mean cryptography before the advent of bitcoin, and it was taught earlier and is being taught now, but the cryptocurrency technology that appeared with the birth of bitcoin is already more secure from the field of finance, including using cryptography, so this is an area at the junction of several technologies.

Our education system is already adopting new topics all the time and I am pretty sure crypto currency’s is whole new dimension to study for us and the upcoming generation. Believe it or not slowly High school students are also getting more attention towards coding, making their own softwares and what not! With the crypto they have more to learn and more to understand about the new methods of understanding the blockchain.

I am definitely sure that adding such subjects would bring nothing but greatness to the knowledge we already have. Hope so future becomes brighter with every subject and courses.

When we talk about crypto education, it is not limited to only cryptocurrencies. There is nothing much to be taught as a separate subject. The real education should be about the blockchain technology and how we can integrate our existing systems into blockchain to ensure more transparency.
Crypto education or rather blockchain education is the need for this time and those who will learn and grasp this new technology, they can serve themselves and their families well.

It is very important for young people to be able to understand cryptocurrencies so that in the future when they are in power in government, they can make decisions about whether adopting cryptocurrencies is good or bad.
besides that out there are still many fake investments that say cryptocurrency, with in-depth education, such fraud can be stopped maximally. it's enough to make a FUD about bitcoin, it's time for education about cryptocurrency to spread to everyone, especially the younger generation.

Yup exactly. Education was needed for those who are negative, misinformed or uninformed, but awareness is perfect for those who didn't heard about Bitcoin, crypto, etc.

Like in my case, a college friend of mine reached out to me on what I usually do for a living. I just told him that I am into Bitcoin and crypto industry, and he asked me if it was really good or not. Meaning to say based on my assessment, he isn't aware about it. But I responded that it was really great and been doing this for 5 years without convincing or forcing him to check it out.

At least I let him aware. But if he wants to know more about it, that's where education comes next.

For some, learning about cryptocurrrencies and how they work could act as a gateway for them to learn not only about internet technology but information technology in its entirety. I know a couple folks who started from mining cryptocurrencies and joining airdrops way back in 2015 who now owed their careers in the IT industry through the same path. Then again as with everything this is not a generalization and there could be other pathways people can take, but learning about cryptocurrencies will somehow impart you with the curiosity to know how it works, in one way or another.

When curiosity kicks in then you would really be eventually finding yourself on tending to learn up new things which it would really be just a typical action to be made up by someone.We are not all knowing kind of beings
which there are really indeed things which we cant know.If we do speak about money making opportunity then people would really be that interested most of the time, specially if they do saw that we do possess out
things which you cant really be able to obtain when you are just working with those typical jobs.If people find out that you are really that making money which is more than or comparable into your
day job then it is really just understandable that people would really be getting interested and would really be tending to jump and learn on what you are involving into.

Bitcoins when it first introduced to the society many nations raised against Bitcoin and kicked against it's technology, so i therefore before government will embrace the adoption of Bitcoin worldwide it most pass through their law first, so concerning the educational technology of cryptocurrency, it's obvious that the world is going into cryptocurrency technology and especially digital world, but right now, i believe that Bitcoin is something so many countries will embrace in future.

No one should rely on any higher institution and government to teach them about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin. The last time I know government and their curriculum of education, they don't teach what will make people wealthy. They don't teach what will offer universal Liberty. Even if they are to teach about crypto and bitcoin they will teach the aspect that is highly centralised.

They will tend to regulate the system to the fullest and make sure they will raise new generation of crypto lovers who will pay little/no attention to decentralisation and privacy

For such reputable institutions to teach Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, it has truly demonstrated that Bitcoin will go very far very quickly and will be accepted globally as a means of exchange.

The world we live in now is a global village governed and controlled by technology. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are a technical process that provides an alternative and simple way to control our own wealth; therefore, learning about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is essential.

It is critical to have good technical knowledge in addition to basic knowledge. Because technology advances on a daily basis, having a good understanding will make it easier for you to access so many crypto wallets, as well as monitor and secure your Bitcoin, because knowing everything about your wallet will make it easy to access and you won't need a third-party to assist you.

Although it is a great point to make when discussing the reasons for implementing cryptocurrency education in today's school curriculums, the biggest reason why some institutions would create such leeway for bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole is for public awareness, and to really involve the learning minds of these students in the world of crypto. Which is something that indeed is necessary considering Web3 is powered by the blockchain.

Bitcoin has advantages for people to be aware of but putting it in an education system is a bit off on my perspective. Following are indeed its advantage over fiat:
 This blockchain simply puts smaller transaction fees than with Fiat. It is most of the time more convenient to fiat online payments because their servers are often down. Another advantage of this technology is anonymity on transactions which is its plus for those who want to avoid taxes with their purchases but this could be the factor which could slow down its adaptation across countries. There are still flaws in this technology but conflicts would be 'fixed' or changed in the future as technology in general, advances. On top of this is being an asset to generate profit.

But for it to be a profession, it's a no even if there are already  existing institution which offered such course to the students. At this moment there's no consistency to this technology even as a subject, so I think it won't be worthy for now. Think of other profitable assets not being a main thing on school premises. Using it as an example in aligned courses but as subtopic only, I think. It is not relevant to all courses ofcourse.

I believe whether a cryptocurrency will be adopted into educational curricula globally cannot be ascertained yet because we know that there are countries where cryptocurrency is still not legal even for trading however, people have taken it upon themselves for decades ago learning about cryptocurrency/the blockchain even before now just from it awareness and I also believe as some most have mentioned, this new education in some university across mostly Europe, for now, could mainly be about the Blockchain Technology than just crypto.

Cryptocurrency is just a tool for profitable investment and has not been applied too much in life, so I think it is not attractive enough or something really necessary to include in education. Also, if you want to use cryptocurrency or invest in it, you can learn them on the internet and in just a few months you have all the knowledge about them.

The course Crypto Education is a good one and it would be nice adopting it into the education system but before that would be done, there needs to be a curricular for it which the education body needs to come together to agree upon before implementation. This alone would make the global adoption easier and faster to embrace. Crypto education would be a technological thing all through the world as the impart would be felt. The world currently is going through thedigital evolution stage which is driving towards blockchain. So i think OP is on the right track for the Crypto Education.

Indeed it is a good opportunity if the country's government allows bitcoin education but if those people can find information from other sources and not just from where they learned about bitcoin, surely it will help to understand what bitcoin is and what the benefits are for him. Maybe there's bitcoin education somewhere but it's not published because they still have doubts about their government. We will see if the government or education institutions will add bitcoin education to their learning curriculum or if they can find it on their own using an internet connection.

Implimenting the adoption of Crypto in our today world is probably good for both young and old. Crypto education should be studied in schools and taken seriously by the students. Digital money have come to stay and the only way one could possess the knowledge and the operation of the space is to embrace it. Crypto having alot of attention from people and whole thing is complex, but simple and made easy with the right information.

Yes, its indeed beneficial and we've seen that there are already universities or schools which had made out blockchain courses which its added up into their curriculum which is really a good news.

Its true that we are really that in an era on which digital currency is really that relevant for someone to learnt up.Education is indeed important for such awareness specially on youth
but eventually these information could really be that able to achieve or  get through personal research which its not really something that hard to attain such thing.

Wont really be that needed for you to be in school to learn up things specially to those oldies.  ;D

Behind cryptocurrency is a technology and security that will greatly help in the evolution of technology and cyber security. Cryptocurrency isn't all about profits and investment, we must know that there is innovations behind that that is why it is called cryptocurrency a short term for cryptographic currency.  So I think the technology behind cryptocurrency must be included in educational curriculum.

Different universities have got courses associated with cryptocurrency and blockchain. Recently in Brazil schools there was bitcoin added to the school syllabus. Crypto education in all means is being encouraged as people are much interested in exploring it to the best and understand how things were happening in a much effective manner in the decentralised network.

There is a saying, one who is educated can rule the world. The reality have differed with the innovation of bitcoin, because to rule the world people need to better about cryptocurrency and the technology that operates the network.

When you look at world you will understand that this world has become a digital world, and i believe that Bitcoin is something i have notice that is going well, and in which everybody is interested to have the knowledge of cryptocurrency, and it comes to my knowledge that their is every possibility that Bitcoin can be added in educational curriculum in certain universities and especially the country that adopt and know the future of cryptocurrency.

Mainstream educational system isn't mainly interested in bitcoin or altcoins, rather they are interested in teaching and educating about blockchain and how cryptocurrency can be integrated to the centralized world of finances, as we are already seeing through CBDCs which are controlled by governments. More interesting than crypto being taught at universities it's crypto being introduced in common citizens' daily lives. They correspond to the largest portion of the population and they are the ones who can be most benefited by this adoption for real, since many of them live from informal negotiations, dealing with money all the time.

Learning of cryptocurrency is an individual task, because it's the effort of a trainees in cryptocurrency will determine it's objectives via cryptocurrency. So in nutshell, anyone who determined to know the secret or the knowledge of cryptocurrency it's a personal race because it have a focus or target to be achieve in cryptocurrency. So if a newbie devote out time and make a research of crypto theirs every tendency that it will understand the rudiments of cryptocurrency, because nobody that knows about crypto today without a research.

It is nice to see that some of the leading universities in the world are including crypto as subjects. It will help to make crypto mainstream.

Unfortunately, my country is not understanding the value of crypto entirely. They are discouraging people from buying or selling crypto. They have imposed very high taxes on crypto trading. I just wish they also observe the ways in which crypto is benefitting other countries which have embraced it and then my country also removes these extra taxes. It will help crypto related companies to grow here and also crypto education will become popular with universities and schools teaching it.

If your country makes strict rules on crypto users, of course, it will be an obstacle. But you are still lucky that your country still regulates the entry of crypto and only prevents it by providing a large tax. But actually, the tax should be borne by the crypto industry like local exchanges and users only need to pay part of it when trading. currently, crypto education continues to develop in a good direction, this will be knowledge that must be known because crypto is important for the future.

We all know that in governments it will always make many not get their way to get ahead with money and with enough money, everything that has to be seen with Bitcoin requires and talks about money and it is enough, a government and its banks do not like that people handle a lot of money, because their control would already be being violated, although the banks have enough scope to dominate people, in bitcoin and crypto this domain or that control ends, because the permits end, all the domains that a third party has, therefore education in crypto turns out to be difficult for them to implement as it is, that is why personal research is good because it is much more effective.

If we are talking about add it in curriculum, are we talking about the crypto investment or the technology behind cryptocurrency that is worth to learn for the future? It's the same topic as other thread in this forum.

If it's the former then it's not worth it to add into the curriculum because teaching others how to invest doesn't fit into school curriculum especially involving money that they can't afford it.
But if it's for the technology and learn how it works for the future then it should worth to note because so many instances have been working on it and we actually see the improvement to our security so learning it now could be beneficial especially when the technology becomes more advanced later.

Do you know that it will be very difficult for a country to decide this time not to embrace the adoption of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin to be mentioned, because i believe that the regulations of cryptocurrency is everywhere across the nations, but the only thing you should understand is that cryptocurrency government don't have the right of controlling a cryptocurrency in her nation irrespective the commands of government

We should consider the situation if the government allows this matter to teach in school otherwise we only just fail their plan.
Some people are just doing this in their homes teaching their relatives and neighbors. I'm not sure how effective it was but at least they have found this way an alternative to learning crypto while the government never notice it because it was difficult to expect that it can be taught in school and part of the curriculum knowing that the government is not giving support to crypto.

To start off with, not everybody wants (will want) a life of digital currencies. They think it's difficult to learn all the dos and don'ts that go on with its wallet management and security. Not everyone likes restrictions. Going forward, we also need to factor in the "other side of cryptos", the negative side.

Yes, I think that's long overdue even. Financial literacy should be a thing to be learnt too. It should be a part and parcel of the existing curriculum so as to aid youngsters in financial management and accountability.

Regulations are only in discussions now and very few governments are actually trying to control crypto because the people who run such governments know that it is not possible.

If there are regulations in place in future, possibly education about crypto will be imparted to the growing generation as well. Because with the rise of something new, scams related that also flood the system. Then awareness and learning how to avoid getting scammed would mean a lot. Still it is in the future and for now we should educate our near and dear ones if they are getting involved in cryptocurrency from whatever we have learnt.

Don't underestimate the ability of the government, they don't have crypto regulation yet because it really hasn't had too much of an impact on them yet. Although the crypto market has grown tremendously over the years, the number of people participating and knowing about it is still very low. But with the recent collapse, they will no longer be silent to let us free, regulation is inevitable.

Currently, cryptocurrency is just an investment and does not have any utility in life so it is not knowledge that everyone needs. So it doesn't make sense to include crypto in education, knowledge about crypto we can easily find on the internet and it doesn't take too long to learn them.

It is important for those of us who understand Bitcoin and not for those who are the opposite of us. First, in my opinion, it is an effort to make Bitcoin universally accepted by all elements of society so that the government can incorporate Bitcoin into the education curriculum.
Second, if a country with all elements can accept Bitcoin in its entirety, then the Bitcoin education curriculum will be the most important part. So it is correct if someone says that it takes awareness to do it.

Agree. My thinking is that we should make bitcoin and cryptocurrencies legal and widely accepted before we even think about introducing crypto into education.
Today, crypto still has a lot of shortcomings and is not widely accepted, if we rush to include it in education, it will cause unnecessary controversy.
We are investors so of course we will support this but for those who don't like cryptocurrencies they won't let their children have access to them.

Crypto does have a lot of shortcomings, but these come not from true crypto (like Bitcoin) themselves, but from corporations and businesses that mislead and misappropriated. Education isn't an option -- teach people how to use it properly, and the difference between coins in your own wallet and crypto in an exchange, and you prevent all the problems that've been putting crypto in a bad light.

It's already controversial, why avoid it?

People focusing too much on wanting cryptocurrency implemented in education curricula without any background reason is ludicrous to me.

At its root educational system is biased, how do we expect Bitcoin education resources to be implemented into an education curriculum noting government didn't even want its people to use a currency they cannot control? It might applicable as an additional course, though, not completely as a whole prerequisite learning subject.

On the first hand, even mentioning those colleges that have already been implemented is not inclusive enough, many education systems within the world are still struggling to find a system where it suits and is able to compete with the rest of the world. Just see the PISA score disparity.

Teaching about crypto should be good idea and all the nations should carefully consider it. The main problem is the government of the specific nations. As cryptos are not regulated in these nations, so for that reason the countries are avoiding cryptos. In my country there isn’t proper teaching about cryptos, but yes college students are taught about Blockchain technology. Let’s hope soon people become more broad and respect the cryptos.

The idea of bringing cryptocurrencies into education is Fiction. The introduction of any subject or field into education needs to be studied carefully and takes a long time because it will directly affect all future preschools of a country. While cryptocurrency today is just a risky investment and is not yet recognized by the government, how can it be called the important thing that everyone needs.

Bitcoin Discussion probably I think I have seen a maximum of the education-related stuff in this section of the forum. As education on the local level the ideas and their implementation, I have seen many threads like this. My point is today what we need is actually the access to the source of information off line information is not much impressive I think in the digital world everyone can access more.   

This is unquestionably true, yet depending on how various institutions and nations interpret it, the issue will elicit a number of observations and opinions. Because of its volatility, which might harm mental health if one is not well prepared for it, some people may be opposed to its full acceptance. Even before it was suggested that it be taught as part of the curriculum in schools, spreading bogus news about its use contributed to its lack of adoption in the world.

It would be a good idea if this were implemented in schools, but without government regulation, it would be challenging to make the teaching of blockchain technology successful at these institutions. Any government that wants to take this into consideration will have to research the implications, which is crucial for students to understand as well. It is not difficult to adopt it, but everyone should do so after learning enough about how to utilize it.

Yes, we can solve it by arguing to give the final solution but not in education even bitcoin it is not suitable for education. Bitcoin has emerged as a phenomenon but in the end it is just an investment, not the knowledge that everyone needs. If you want to put bitcoin in education so people can learn how to avoid scams, and how to distinguish between coins in our wallets and on exchanges then I would agree with @vv811's idea, they should only be included in supplementary courses, elective courses.

If many do not accept crypto because there are still many shortcomings, for us it is natural because many cryptocurrencies end up with disappointments like the FTX that just happened. Maybe not with Bitcoin which is still of interest to large investors to small investors.
We better focus on discussing Bitcoin. It takes awareness of all of us who understand Bitcoin even though it is not 100% like our friends to do something that makes people widely accept Bitcoin so that it is easy for stakeholders to incorporate it into the education curriculum.

Cryptocurrency and its blockchain are the future. Decades from now, our paper money will be replaced soon with centralized cryptocurrencies issued by governments. The time is right for schools to start spreading awareness and preparing the new generation for what the future will be like.

Blockchain and the metaverse are not just important to be discussed at the college level but they must be included in primary schools where very young kids are discovering their interests as they move on with their lives.

But teaching people about self-custody goes beyond Bitcoin. Teaching people leaving money in online accounts is not the same as having that money under your control.  Teaching people how the centralised money systems really work, the way fractional reserves (or in US's case, zero reserves) have fked people up time and again, that's really important financial education.

Educating yourself through research and books is necessary before you enter the market. It gives you a better chance at making the right move. Also, when it comes to investing in a coin, you need to do background checks and see if it’s worth holding the coin short term or long term.

There is no need to integrate cryptocurrency into the educational curriculum because I perceived crypto as a thing of personal interest, even it is integrated it should be a unit course for Economic, Insurance and accounting courses, meanwhile there are lot of people who already knew or has a first hand information about cryptocurrency but never embrace it because of lack of interest, while others who are interested seek more information on it via the internet of course there are many information on the internet about cryptocurrency which is enough for any individual or coperate organization to take decisive action before investing in it or for educational learning.

For universities, finance majors may have this subject, and if there is a separate major, it may be for computer technology majors. Because it's a must for learning about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. As for education, no one is more important than the other. As the first application of the underlying technology of the blockchain, it needs to be given more time so that everyone can understand it more deeply. When the social demand is getting bigger and bigger, every university will increase this subject and passport, because there is a large demand for this staff all over the world. The encrypted world will also provide more and more job opportunities.

Cryptocurrency is a digital money and it is transacted in a decentralized manner and it is completely dependent on blockchain so if one studies about cryptocurrency then he will automatically get a good knowledge on blockchain which will introduce the whole world to an advanced technology because blockchain is a powerful and  Advanced technology which is a potential medium of the future and blockchain will be used for every bank and other transactions in the future so it is a good idea to study cryptocurrency.

When you start the Investment or trading, before you need to know about how to invest and to be benefited from it.Education for yourself must be need to books and when you want know about bitcoin then i think you can leart 2 others way.Many countries are accepted bitcoin and many government are interested about bitcoin. Bitcoin is decentralization crypto currency and most valuable crypto currency in the crypto market. And bitcoin is digital virtual currency. If it will be acceptable all countries then i think there are many benefit  to be found every system.

Education in the field of cryptocurrencies is definitely necessary. Because it is not always possible to find some answers to questions, and therefore education really plays a very important role. Even when I started to understand mining, I couldn't find answers to various questions for a very long time and had to collect information in small fragments to understand all the subtleties. Therefore, I can definitely say with confidence that education in the field of cryptocurrencies is important. Moreover, cryptocurrencies are already much more now than before! There are different types of cryptocurrencies and it's so very difficult to figure it out all at once!! But what is good is that there are already many books devoted to the topic of blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies themselves! I think it is very important to use this forum as an educational material! So that the newcomer who came to the forum could find the answer to the questions!

Of course that's the initial stage for someone before going further in investing in crypto. I think we have passed that stage and now we are trying to design something important for other people who don't know crypto, especially Bitcoin, so the OP asked if it was time for crypto to be included in the education curriculum to be taught to the younger generation?

We consider that we need special awareness because incorporating it into the education curriculum is not as easy as one might imagine because people's awareness of crypto has not been fully accepted.

It is time for the whole world to adapt crypto in educational curriculum. Cryptography is a process of protecting information by transforming it into an unreadable format. It is used in a variety of applications, including email, file sharing, and secure communications.

Cryptography is used to protect information from unauthorized access or alteration. It can be used to protect messages during transmission or storage. Cryptography can also be used to verify the identity of the sender or receiver of a message. In order to be effective, cryptography must be implemented properly and consistently.
