Bitcoin Forum

This is for a personal writing project I'm working on. I imagine that Bitcoin would be good for things like teaching things like math with decimals ("How many Satoshis do you need to get a tenth of a Bitcoin?", stuff like that), budgeting (Spend it on whatever you want, but when it's gone, it's gone), or even a little bit of IT / programming stuff like how cryptography works. What do you guys think of this?

the goal in class is to teach something. if it is math, then you should teach math. if i count with apples or satoshis is not important, but the focus should be on learning math not on learning bitcoin.

That makes sense, but you'd be surprised by how literal kids can be when they're trying to learn decimals. That apple isn't one tenth of anything other than a box of ten apples. It's one apple. You don't necessarily have to explain much more about Bitcoin than what a Satoshi is, and maybe how to obtain some Bitcoin, for our purposes.

I doubt we will ever get there honestly even If bitcoin becomes known and used everywhere (speaking about math) but when It comes to IT/programming and how cryptography works then Its definitely that should be used and I guess there are already some courses in Coursera that does that , In fact I don't see better examples then bitcoin.

Could be it's will be an additional lessons, especially in economic sector. Well bitcoin have an elements between economic, crypto(include math+IT science) and development. It will be long lessons I think, but not sure all students will interested, could be some geeks.
For answering the title, I say yes.

there is one more thing i would consider. if you teach it in class, then i would not be surprised if some parents wouldn't be to happy about it and complain. So i would make sure that i would not get into trouble because of this.

Maybe Bitcoin could be included in some subject that teaches about finances, so not as a separate one. This would be maybe better if there are some parents who would object if too much attention would be given only to Bitcoin. But to my opinion young people should be introduced to Bitcoin as a part of their general knowledge and financial culture.

I doubt education will ever incorporate bitcoin in such a way, they will use the government coin to teach kids about that sort of thing.

The only way we are going to see bitcoin in education is throught more advanced courses in college, probably additional subjects related to computer science, but we aren't going to see it in regular subjects and sub-college education in my book.

Yes, but probably not on kids to which you're trying to teach decimals... I'd say Bitcoin in the classroom starting with 16+ year old kids, in these ages they start having a better perception regarding money and they're still in a good age to demystify money and to alter the definition of money they have. Basically a good age for them to question why do they value printed pieces of paper saying they're worth X $ ou € or whatever.

i personally think that bitcoin is one of the best topic and most important topic everyone can/should and will understand. its not about only money its more than that. its our future its the technology that opens the doors of open source and living in the reallity with complete freedom.

I totally agree with you but it should be taught only as a single course to fresher year students at the university/college so they might develop interest in researching further through their studies.

Crypto currencies will definitely become part of the teaching syllabus in the future, because it will become a new form of payment method or

even a currency, if enough people start using it. { Some people's definition of a currency says that it will only be a currency, if it is backed by

the government. } Crypto currencies has become part of the FinTech industry now.  ::)

If you're teaching a class about Bitcoin, then you might as well go ahead and teach people about it otherwise it is a useless class.

For anything else, unless it is economics-related, it's not beneficial for students imo, as it doesn't serve a purpose beyond a neat portion of it all.

It's an ok idea, but it has limits and it's useful all the time.

I think it would be a good thing when we would teach with and about bitcoin in the classrooms.

But it will be a long way until this happen imo.
First bitcoin must reach the "normal" people before we can thing about this step.

I think teaching a bitcoin
would be a great idea.
For the people to know
the benefits of bitcoin.

Yes and No.

I don't think bitcoin should be involved in teaching the following:

• Basic math; conversions, decimals, etc.
• Basic personal finance; budgeting, etc.

Bitcoin's low adoption and complicated creation allows people to believe it's "make believe" or a "fad". Yet the concepts above are very much needed for everyone to succeed in society. These topics need to be taken seriously  and therefore should be discussed in terms of the student's local fiat currency (which is very real).

Older students would benefit from bitcoin involvement in teaching the following:

• Economic systems and how they can be created if a group of people are willing to particpate
• Computer science

that's good idea. as long as the stuff consist of school subject like math, IT, and economy, it is good to be taught to the students. and I think it will be better to teach this stuff to students of senior high school and university. because in their ages, they have critical thinking.

I would definitely like that to happen, especially if the students are taking an economics course.

In my opinion bitcoin, or at least blockchain technology will be mainstream in the near future and the students will only benefit from learning how it works and what it is, and they will probably become bitcoin lovers as well.

Spreading the word about bitcoin is always good :)

introducing bitcoin to the kids is a great thing, but teaching math combine with bitcoin is going to confused the kids, but you can introduced bitcoin in economic for new payment, digital currency and the useful thing that can be used with bitcoin and how bitcoin impact someone life.
Teaching new generation about bitcoin is a good, because who knows one day they can develop bitcoin further

to teach bitcoins or to use bitcoins in teaching
one has to introduce several notions such as:blockchain,mint,decentralised money etc. etc.
think it can be used for things like IT or programming or cryptography but not math(or any basic stuff for kids)
simply because you cannot teach simple things using more complicated as a basis

Classroom, sure. But only after highschool. I don't think me or anyone would have liked to learn about bitcoin before university. And there are tons of better ways to explain any of the maths or other learning stuff.

Woul be nice teachers ask student some project related to crytpo currencies, i do see this being implemented on the next years, since there is a huge interest about blockchain, and some altcoins as well, soo studying about it can bring more genius and good crypto currencies in the future as well. China should be starting this first i do believe, since looks like they are really interested and does wanna to get their own coin.

This is not easy to do when you are going to implement bitcoin nor satoshi in class people will might really confuse on what they are going to learn for this they. If they do impose bitcoin to math thing how about those algebra and under math? Programming is all logic not for investment sh*t just saying no hatin.

i think there should be a classroom for teaching bitcoins .it s really important for the  next generation to know that there is a currency  other than fiat which is going on the other hand and it may be the future.

Dont really understand the motif behind such a venture.

If bitcoin is used as an example, maybe to make it popular among children in this manner, then I am not supporting this issue.

Teaching should be generalized and should be taught with the motive of teaching the subject and not the example. Also children should be taught to learn the subjects more properly before they actually transact. Considering earning bitcoin is easy these days for kids, this can lead to bad addiction of children to worthless faucets and bitcoin gambling, which is totally unacceptable.

It will be good development in education. Considering satoshi in the 8 bit interger. Calculating with exchange rate of bitcoin in native countries, transaction fee and conversion from USD. It could start with the high schools

It will be a NO for me, for some reasons that it doesn't fit to the classroom teaching set-up it is not appropriate to share the knowledge specially to those still a students.It was quite disappointing if few of them are able to undergo gambling or even spend it in wrong manner.Better to educate it to those who are already adopt the good values on how to spend wisely.

i personally think that it can't be understand right away since bitcoin still new to the students and it will hard for them to analyze things that they are not familiar with, it can be use maybe for those in economics who's really aiming for better economy as bitcoin is also recognized as part of currency so they can understand the flow.

Personally I don't think that it will be effective to teach bitcoin in classes relating it to other common subjects. The reason is that very few might understand as bitcoin haven't reached lot of users. Some users quoted that only IT/Software people understands easily, that too is not real. In my country when I enquire with IT people they were not aware of digital currency. Only the popularity makes people understand bitcoin even without teaching.

Sounds great for us, but I don't know what to say. I mean most similar projects usually aren't getting as much attention as they should. Even if you're going to work very hard for it, I don't want to discourage you but you need to find more people to teach about it too, and you also need to be very patient. This project should actually be like taught during the classes, and not after them because everyone pretty much won't listen to you. When they're there during the class, they know they have to do it. It's amazing that you want to do it, you're doing a good thing for everybody here: demand grows, so the price also grows, and the more businesses based on Bitcoin will appear. I guess you are from America, that's a country where you can do something out of a hard worked project. In my country, it'd probably never work - I wouldn't even get the chance of doing it. If a school project doesn't work, you can speak to the directors of different schools and start a course there, so you can have advertisement placed around the buildings to attract them there, and the teachers can also invite them to it.

It is highly unlikely that bitcoin's gonna get a subject base of it's own on a school not on the impending years to come well maybe teachers may pop up with a word bitcoin on their student if the lesson would be on computer base subject or sometimes bitcoin can become an example for teacher in some topic because Bitcoin has been very popular right now but that doesn't mean school would teach bitcoin to their student because of that.

i think its a good idea to give a lesson about bitcoin in the classroom, this could make student learn about bitcoin itself and realize that there is a new technology in outside of their school. beside that, if this is really happen then the mass adoption will be going faster than we can expect and bitcoin will be more growth.

No ,for now i do not use bitcoin in the classroom . But i am thinking for doing it in the future because i am starting to realize that if we are capable to learn about bitcoin , majority of people will choose to use the bitcoin and the progress of it will take place.
But it always denpends to the people on how they will used it?

For all
    What is the reason for someone to use bitcoin in class.

Bitcoin is related in economics because bitcoin is real life and each of us should know what economic is and how it works.
So, if you were about to discuss this to a class relate bitcoin to economic class. Use bitcoin as one of your example but in a simple way especially when you are teaching elementary students, or secondary. Use an example where you can easily relate bitcoin.

I came here to post this, you're absolutely correct in my opinion.

I would also like to add another reason for not using Bitcoin in math classes based on what OP said:
In this example you'd also need to explain what Satoshis and Bitcoins are, which is totally beside the point in math class.
If you're going to use real life examples, use something that everybody can easily understand (apples, oranges, whatever) so you don't lose any time because you need to explain an entire concept first.

Bitcoin would be great to spend a single lesson on in Economics and maybe multiple lessons in Computer science classes.

Bitcoin is one of the common currency in the world and probably will be one of the most useful in the future. So it is really important for the students how they use bitcoins. In additional in my opinion,  teaching the existence of the other altcoins can also be very essential.

It could be used as an example in classroom depending the subject. But it won't happen so fast, it only will happen when Bitcoin become more popular, and school examples are usually based in popular things. In the future it will happen and much more will be teached at schools about Bitcoins and any other thing about Crypto-Currencies world.

Can maybe be useful in the beginning but right now it will not be so useful because its not so popular, if it will be more used than it is.

I liked your idea it is really important to teach the students in their classroom in their studies about bitcoin and its units. If they cannot place it in mathematics then at least in the computer subject it is important to give a place to it.

Abacus is a topic in mathematics that is ancient and not relevant, still being taught in schools. With the one time classroom experience I had, I can still remember and probably find out how it looks. Bitcoin is a future in legal tendency exchange, the earlier students get to know about it the better understood and used. IT graduates in 2011 still dont know about blockchain but the developed countries had added it to their syllabus. This is how to prepare for the future and not deprive ourselves. I have 2 university degree not related to computer and now informing my IT friends to read up on blockchain technology. Imagine how schools would have done better

It's important to teach students about the existence of digital currencies and the technology behind it. Only then students understand where those notations and the units need to be used. Else students will know and learn but won't have knowledge about the applications.

Yeah sure! like governments around the world would allow their demise to be a subject in schools :) though blockchain could be a good thing to include in books for kids to learn to prepare them when growing up maybe those become coders stop making all these useless coins and actually do something good with this technology.

Bitcoin could be used as an application of cryptography to teach how it actually works in real life.Apart from that,bitcoin should be a subject in itself.This will pave a way for understanding basics of crypto-currencies in general.

I don't think that those developers made a useless coin it has something to help the community but it has not been properly implemented or not properly marketized but they know how to make coin and soon when they are professional enough and want to find a solution to a problem at least they know how to start and what they do wrong on their past projects.

As much as I like bitcoin, I really don't see why bitcoin should be added to an already bloated school syllabus (I doubt fiat is even part of syllabus).

There can be mention of it if learning about currency and certainly blockchain tech should be a subject in IT studies but it doesn't or shouldn't be taught in schools as a deliberate subject.

Yes it is possible. Bitcoin can be integrated in math problems. That could be fun, but you should also add a little discussion on bitcoin as cryptocurrency since even if you use it in math problems if they dont know the uses then it will still be useless. But overall its a great idea since children will have a glimpse about bitcoin and will be curious about it.

It is true, bitcoin is related to economy and it should be taught in the economy at least in collage, bitcoin has been very successful  and a very revolutionary idea in the economy and this what has been thought by many experts and introducing students to it could opens up a lot of potential to their future.

Aside from that, they would learn how can they should their money properly. By giving an example like bitcoin, could help them to build up their complexity in terms of money exchange. It will help them to trigger in their mind that even they are young, they can get money from bitcoin. In my point of view, early teaching of money currency would help a child to put in their mind that they must be more productive, competitive and strategic.

Your idea is more match applies on private courses which focuses to learn bitcoin. Classroom is a place to Learn general education and character, to producing a student with high intelligence. But if a student can learn how to get additional money by learning bitcoin outside school hours, they will can complete their own necessity.

I think it would be good to considering teaching it for Economics subject and bitcoin can be an example of how a country's economy is.
Its going top be easier for the students to learned trading as well because of it. The universities in our country don't even teach FOREX and so if bitcoin can be taught, they may be able to understand well with economics and trading.

I got some of the students to post stories, homework writing assigments and such on our school's blog (along with their Bitcoin addresses that I had shown them how to get). Then I asked attendees at our local Bitcoin Meetup to visit the blog and donate to the kids.

You should have seen their faces when they opened their wallets!

That led to me building a site, with a similar goal, but available to any school or student at http://blogsbystudents.com/

They can still post their own address on their own articles but this startup is part of a bigger project to derive long-term income from the traffic. Students can use their blog site to sell advertising in the entire network (as a fundraiser). They may make some sales from what comes in via the web, but also from personal contacts and relatives. SO, instead of selling chocolates, or cookies or raffles, a class or a school could sell advertising. They all continue to get paid commissions continuously for each and every ad purchase infinitely.

GYFT.com accepts Bitcoin for gift cards to over two hundred companies.
Overstock.com
Dell Computer
Expedia


and ... mamy companies are offering Bitcoin backed debit cards because
1) Bitcoin has zero fraud
2) zero chargeback
3) Much lower transaction fees
4) zero default

Merchant acceptance is not now or going to be an issue. Bitcoin is money and businesses will accept money (that is what they are in business for, correct).

Quite honestly, real money didn't even exist before Bitcoin!  ::) 8) :o :-*

https://puu.sh/tmJNA/2abc036221.png (https://twitter.com/realmicroguy/status/820288813389885441)

It's only a matter of time before they teach it in the classroom.

Yeah I agree. You are meant to go to school so that you can learn life skills before you get a job and survive for yourself. Children definitely do get taught about currency and maybe when Bitcoin becomes a global currency, children will be taught about it.

If you think bitcoin will be a class room based-learn it will be impossible think. Because, why the students have to learn with bitcoin while dollar is still their current money?
If bitcoin is fulfilled USA and deleted dollar from peoples bank account, maybe it's a good thing.
By the way cryptography is a subject in many schools now.

Cryptography is definitely being taught in IT courses. Atleast it has been taught in our class before. And bitcoin was not even created back then. So it does not have to be linked with bitcoin to teach cryptography in an IT class.
 
I do not think it is useful for kids to be taught about how many satoshis there is in a  bitcoin. It is worthless unless the kid is involve in bitcoin itself. Like it is worthless to study scientific names of chemicals and everything when I just want to be a race car driver or a mechanic.

personally it would't be a good idea although the intention was good to introduce bitcoin in the kids but it will going to confuse the class and will brought up too many questions esplecially if the class you are teaching is not IT related , I belive that every teacher has its own style of teaching but bitcoin is more than basic mathematics , why not just give them examples that appropriate in the topic?

it depends on what age we are talking about, if you are talking about very young children (as you say in teaching math) then no i don't think it is such a good idea to teach them about bitcoin. it is too complicated.
but in case of older kids, maybe even in college as a financial major then yeah, and i think it has already happened and they are studying bitcoin and even do thesis on it.

Well you implement Bitcoin in their learning plan then it would give kids or teens have a hard time learning them. Can you imagine solving problems related to Bitcoin. They must know Bitcoin forst and its fiat currency value before they even arrive at a solution. It would give kids a lot of confusion.

I quite agree with you. it would be difficult to be understood by children. they should focus on the core subjects and also they still have the right to play. the children have each daily that we can not interfere.

Its a good project and it will be much more interesting than the boring calculations, plus this will be a part of the financial literacy. This will helps the kids in the long term to make good financial decisions, and personally I would like my kid to learn finance this way coupled with maths and I would be able to help him. So I would like to see this project implemented as fast as possible. Post your report here once completed.

Its a good idea but i dont think that any governments would deliberately allow to teach about bitcoins in classrooms. Already, governments see bitcoin as a threat to their economy and they fear of suffering huge revenue losses due to bitcoins. I heard a small micro nation liberland has announced bitcoin as their national currency and such steps can be taken in such countries to teach about bitcoins.

i feel yes , need to teaching child about bitcoin
bitcoin is future money so children have to know about bitcoin
and start learn about bitcoin in school is good idea

I think it would just make math more complicated when bitcoin would be teach in school like this "teaching things like math with decimals ("How many Satoshis do you need to get a tenth of a Bitcoin?", stuff like that)," Am I right?. It would be okay if bitcoin would be teach on what it is really are, and not be applied on different subjects like math. Teaching how bitcoin works, and the ways on how you can earn it is the best to teach in school, just my opinion.

it will eventually be teached like they are teaching something now that was not present some decade ago, you need a new generation before this will be true

also it's not true that every government see bitcoin in a bad way, europe just want to contorl it more, they are already accetpting it, otherwise they would not expemt it from vat

Your project actually could achieve both purposes whether math lesson or introduce bitcoin in financial management.
There's nothing wrong about it and you can do it as long as it's approved by 'the one' in charge.
Moreover, the class will get used to bitcoin.

The project is good and will give a significant impact on the next and next generation to come , but before to propose this we need first full adaptation from all around the world to consider bitcoin and other alts as an official governmental payment gateway.

Applying bitcoin in different subjects in school like math would just make things complicated. Because instead of thinking about the formula or variables, they would be confuse about this satoshis that they need to find to complete something. But, if they are going to teach bitcoin directly without applying it on the subjects, I think it would be more helpful for them and would easily understand by the student. They would also know that earning bitcoin is just easy and not that hard like what they think.

It's right that to implement bitcoin in the math it will make the subject more complicated but the opposite happen in IT course, implementing about learning bitcoin in IT course will make your knowledge wider and also might be useful for future purpose, just if the students know how is cryptography then it's better than know nothing.

Exactly, Simply because how bitcoin works is kinda complicated and when it is being taught on IT students it could increase their logical reasoning that really is must to me as well as an IT

Bitcoin is taught in many universities these days not like a course of study but many professors describe bitcoin as good example in between different subjects including finance to cryptography.

I have searched about liberland, found that it is still not recognized as a country and i laughed at the criteria they have to get citizenship  ;D
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberland

Liberland and bitcoin connection can be found here https://news.bitcoin.com/liberland-bitcoin-truly-base-economy/

Even many local people are doing some advertising that they can arrange class who don't about bitcoin, but it will take time to get this things more clear to people mind. Already people making their own chart to get people trained by themselves, it does not need any math to get familiar. Already bitcoin is made with little programming there is no need of any further programming to explain to people.

programming aspect of bitcoin and blockchain technology makes it related to IT students but in my opinion bitcoin is best suited to be taught to students of economy or any other major related to economy because bitcoin is meant to be a currency before any other thing.

But in my opinion your idea to put bitcoin as additional learning subject even to teach How many satoshi needed to get some btc is not too important for students. I mean students in the classroom have too many science or social subjects to Learn rather than learning bitcoin in school.

Well, that would be on the other side. Both IT students and economy students has different perspective. When it comes to software development obviously that would be for IT but when it comes to managment economy students would come a long. Even the engineering students can contribute when it comes to physical development

Bitcoin can be learned from internet it no need to implement into school just to waste another subject and money for nothing there are some important thing that school need to add, How can bitcoin become a solving problem how about other subject like Algebra ? Trigo ? And other math course? Yeh it can be minor subject to waste another 200$ Children will never understand this kind of subject all about money i don't think soo.

Wow! This is a very nice idea!
Bitcoin being discuss in the classroom will be very interesting. The student will not only be familiarize with bitcoin but also they will learn to earn from it while studying. Im pretty that would be the most favorite subject of the students in their classroom ;)

I think bitcoin is already discussing in some schools i forgot that what country already announce it here before..
And i think it is a good idea if it can be added in school to discuss for your student.. so that they know about bitcoin and they can know how it works.. unlike in other schools that they said bitcoin is scam they are just adding the text book that bitcoin are uses for illegal activity..

Bitcoin in the classroom here in my country is a big no for now because our economics here is only specific on what currency we are using like a fiat currency money that we usually use in everyday spending. Maybe it will took a long time to let our teaching system to adopt lessons about bitcoin, discussing its uses on how it works on economic system of digital crypto currency.

I agree. Math is math if you wanna teach math it's all about math problems only teaching math is different from bitcoin. You can teach bitcoin using seminar. But using it in school lesson a very big no. We cannot do that because the learning focus of that is academics lesson not bitcoin lesson.

You are right we cant combine mathematics and bitcoin lessons because they do really have different field and im sure that government or department of education wont allow such act because government wont really allow to have an own bitcoin lesson.

We dont need to teach Bitcoin in school as a subject. It can just be given as an overview once or twice to the students so they know there is another digital currency other than their own local currency. Bitcoin is not a big discussion so there is no reason to start it as a separate subject.

Bitcoin is a digital currency which based on internet.As a virtual currency I could not find any specific reason so that we need a study in school.Even It not possible while Bitcoin are limited some few of countries.Many countries central bank has warned against dealing in Bitcoin,also saying anybody caught using the virtual currency could be jailed.So there no particular reason need to teach Bitcoin in school as a subject.

Children definitely do get taught about currency
[/quote]

Yeah, first they get told that pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters are money. Then are told that a paper "dollar" is equal in value to 4 junk metal quarters. Once their brain is scrambled with that nonsense they are ready to be fed the lie that infinitely increasing accounting ledger entries in a bank's computer are equal in value to the paper dollars.

Then, once you get them that mentally retarded, you tell them that the government spent more than they could take in in taxes AND that the government could have digitally created (but didn't) so now they (government) had to go out and "borrow" some previously created digital accounting entries (while they were still minors and not voting) and now the children need to pay off that debt they inherited.

Also, since the kids are now in debt, what's a few more tens of thousands on top of that so borrow a ton of digitally created computer entries to get an "education" so you can get a good job (so you can pay off the debt).

I love the way they teach them currency.

If bitcoins are mentioned in classrooms from teachers side, then they should be integrated when the fiat systems are mentioned.
And it should not turn out to be an advertisement event for crypto currencies. Just an impartial information that something like bitcoin exists. Maybe including some benefits and disadvantages.
In maths, it's hard enough to keep up with the numbers. It would be too much if kids had to calculate in units they do not know what it is.

I agree with you mate that it is not needed to make or teach those students in school regarding bitcoin I guess overview is enough unless your country uses bitcoin already.

If I go with your maths example, then I hardly agree with you that it will create any difference. I personally hardly remember any situation problem from my Maths classes.
Well if we talk about core Bitcoin study then it would be good. "Money" is important study under Economics if blockchain added in it with Bitcoin as case study then it would be positive modernisation!

Well this will fall under the category of decimal places, regardless if bitcoin is used or not.  They can even use fiat currency for it.  But for exposure sake, this is a good way to introduce bitcoin to kids especially if you always use the term BTC or Bitcoin in that whole topic.

it does not really matter at this point. because all the information is on the internet. we can find it easily. learning through the internet in my opinion is more understandable because we could have a lot of references about bitcoin.

yes, good idea
i think if this is happening people dificult to learn will easier learn bitcoin , people not interest about bitcoin will interesting with bitcoin ways trought discussion in classroom

I find the idea of bitcoin used as study help very interesting and needed. But who is gonna teach kids with the help of bitcoin analogy when most people have no idea what BTC is?
We need to increase all social awareness, and we will find bitcoin in our math books instead of standard and ancient math problems constructed around counting apples.

I think BTC should be thaught in school maybe from High School.

There is a lot of useless junk that kids learn in school, but BTC would not be one of them.


They should all learn about cryptography, as part of math lesson, but there should also be a separate class for economics (austrian economics of course).

But also a separate class that for Bitcoin and cryptographic consensus systems, blockchains, decentralization ,etc.




But that will never happen of course ,because govt doesnt want you to know about them, especially not about decentralization. All they want is centralized central planning communist powergrabs.

So you wont learn in school, anything useful.

   Its not time for bitcoin in the school. Why would children bother with economy in the schools? Its ridiculous, bitcoin should be like its now currency and currency should be in studied in college like part of economy. With so much connections with technology, also this departments can study blockchain.

Do not think it will be used as the OP said. But, for sure, in the future Bitcoin will be quoted sometime during the student life, whether in history lessons or talking about economics, this will be a subject on the agenda.

That's can't possibly be the case. Let say that you want to introduce the pupils from elementary school to decimals you have speaking to them about things they know, they can see and they can hold. Of course they can understand that 1 cent is 0.01 USD because they have seen it. There is no reason imo speak to them about bitcoin with a goal to learn maths. Maybe in 16+ years old in the lesson of economics or something like that where they will speak about money a well informed professor would introduce them in bitcoin payment system. As far as it concerns the IT computing lesson the way I see it is cryptography algorithms and things like that are an advanced lesson for high school.

I don’t think it is necessary we can use fiat already for anything of that, and for cryptography you can use pen and paper, you can use it to rise awareness but that is it.

Just like we are studying binary numbers in our computer classes as these are used in computer calculations we also have to teach about blockchain and bitcoin in computer classes. If students from their beginning will learn about bitcoin then they will be very efficient when they come in professional field.

i think they should teach about bitcoin just as currency, because in future bitcoin will be use as currency for shopping, therefore if they get some good knowledge about bitcoin then it will good in their favour.

No I don't really think that it would work. Bitcoin is barely known to the world and it wouldn't make sense to randomly use it to tech Maths some day.

However, this idea could work for subject like economics and perhaps IT. 

He idea is good. But the example that you wrote sounds like for elementary school. I doubt that little kids need to know that.
But I think some education about bitcoin needed for people generally. Many people don't understand bitcoin exactly cause of they don't get it.

In my opinion, most of the student in the classroom or in the school campus will not gonna be open minded about in bitcoin. Or in some instances bitcoin can be a hindrance to their study. I think it is much better for the students to focus their mind in studying n school not in bitcoin, unless if the student are open minded in opportunity like Bitcoin to anyone.

If this will be implemented, Bitcoin will be a seperate subject. Because even us new members or even the old members barely now the concept of Bitcoin. Only a few people fully understand Bitcoin. But I think it will be impossible because it would take a lot of time to master Bitcoin or even understand it. But Bitcoin can be independently studied by students if they have the will for it.

When i was on the elementary we are already been taught about currencies so i guess that there is no difference at all in teaching them this one as well. You just have to teach it according to their level of understanding like they dont have to focus on bitcoin too much but instead the math subject

but there is no point in doing that in my opinion.
when you teach about currencies to kids at elementary level you are teaching them something useful that they are going to need, and also they can easily see it in the real world being used everyday everywhere but bitcoin is not like that, it is mostly an investment not currency and as a currency it is no used much and there is not much real world use cases you can give them as examples.

I disagree with you. Students love to learn about new things and there is no doubt that most of them will try to figure out what Bitcoin is if you ever teach them about it. I used to be a college student when I first heard about Bitcoin. Then, I smashed all the internet in order to find more and more information about Bitcoin. Trust me, they will like Bitcoin

You have pointed your opinion and i respect that but i think you just degrade the value of bitcoin( as you labeled it to only as an investment scheme and not a currency?) I would just like to remind you sir that bitcoin is considered as cryptocurrency or a digital currency which is pretty obvious. So there actually a huge point on why we should teach it to elmentary level. Most especially that we are now on the tech era

Yes it is !!

Yup! he should learn what is bitcoin really is, and in investing one should really have to use a currency and I think that bitcoin is definitely a good choice to invest with but not an investment scheme because just like currency it can increase it's value and eventually decrease it and just like currency there are many ways of handling it store and save can also buy some load of stuffs that you need and there are plenty more to say that most people needs to have knowledge with, I think he is thinking that way because in their country Bitcoin is not liable in purchasing stuffs and not many merchants are accepting it!

No, I don't think it's possible. The government is making the curriculum and only the approved subjects are being taught in a school, if ever it will happen then that would be the time that the government has supported bitcoin which I think the possibility is not quite good. Let's be realistic and we do not need teachers as the internet is more comprehensive than their limited teaching.

Well, it seems like you do not read the news very often. IN some university, students are being taught about the blockchain as well as Bitcoin. At present, learning about digital currencies are viral and it is easy to find a job if you have some decent knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptos. As you can see, there are thousands of project which pay a lot for people who know about Bitcoin and its techniques

Isn't the point of education to learn new things? I think limiting the curriculum to only subjects that students are "open minded" too would limit the curriculum to drugs, sex and rock n roll. "Been there, done that" and , it doesn't work :-)

I think bitcoin won't be a hindrance for kids study especially when it is introduced in their Mathematics Class and at the same time Economics Class.  Just as what the early reply said, Bitcoin is best example for decimal topic, while in Economics it will be tackle as currency and difference between the fiat money.

Not only is not needed but it will never be taught at schools, they do not even teach about how to manage your normal currency so they are not going to teach about bitcoin.

I think china teach it in school, but yes i highly doubt it also. 'Coz there is nothing to teach about bitcoin, if there is, it is on the financing field it teaches math and the origin of bitcoin. Also you are right on the programming thing, maybe they will introduce how bitcoin created and how to manage it. There are no special thing on bitcoin to teach, i will be glad if there is a course about bitcoin that teaches us to earn daily. But that is also in the internet so there is no use on putting it on the academic field.

I think this depends on the interest of the Education Institution.  There is some curriculum (not about Bitcoin) in Japan that is not thought all over the world which I think is more beneficial than the  general knowledge that is thought in those years.  Aside from that if the Bitcoin Enthusiast propose a course outline of Bitcoin, and million of people supported it, it will be listed as  one of the course outline of some subject in higher years especially economics in Computer Courses  or those who are mastering cryptography as base sample or model program.

May be, it is but in my thinking, it is just like other currency, it don't need to teach. Because you never listen to anyone who is study about currency, we are only searching about any currency, so same like with bitcoin. But for me, it is a new way, where people can earn with interesting way, and you are right, IT professional definitely like it more than others, because they are all work doing on laptop, online crypto best use for all online professional.

I do not think this would be of a great utility. Also, I prefer people younger than adults to not be teached by force. You better talk about it in debates if there is this in your school than doing maths with it.

Well, you could use bitcoin as an example while teaching decimals, it is not against the rules I think. Besides, this could also enlighten some of your students that there is this bitcoin which exist outside their school. Somehow we might reach out some who could afford to still have time to learn.

 I still don't get used to operate with many nulls in bitcoin but children should learn it from the outset because it's a future that already there

That is a much better proposals rather just using bitcoin as a prop in teaching at school a bitcoin curriculum is much better. If cryptocurrency is included in the curriculum the country that will implement it will greatly benefit when the time comes. Just like China who learned of bitcoin very much earlier and after knowing have invested in bitcoin purchasing huge volumes and as of this time they are bigtime millionaires. This simply means that if children are taught at an early age about bitcoin and cryptocurrency soon they will be rich kids. Remember always that knowledge is power.

Whether we go for yes or no that it should be held in classroom, one thing I know is that one cannot place something on nothing and that is the fact government will go a long way in making this possible if it will be taught in high school but in the university based on the independence that is being enjoyed in that part, then research will be going on in that area by students and lecturers alike but not to be taught in class because to best of my knowledge it wouldnt have been incorporated in the syllabus.

Soon it will be standard to teach Bitcoin like math and english. Yes it should be in schools.

Hey, thanks for sharing!

My name is Hristian and I am leading the Open Source University ICO at www.os.university (http://www.os.university).

Bitcoin and the blockchain in general have far deeper value beyond the one you refer to, when it comes to education.

Check out our project discussion at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2393582.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2393582.0).

I will be happy to keep in touch.

Best,
Hristian

I think for younger audience it will be good to associate examples that they are familiar with. Bitcoin is a bit too abstract for that purpose. I would also think it's probably best to teach blockchain and the cryptography in general and mention bitcoin as one of the example.

i say yes. because basic education on cryptocurrency needs to be included in the lesson, so that students know the economic development as a manifestation of much-needed global transactions. so, the students need to know, to upgrade their knowledge.

I think it's a no for me. Every studies at classroom works as what it is now so why bother changing the strategy. It is not about the subject or what the main idea is. It is about learning.

i think yes, the reason being more and more children should be learning the scope of cryptocurrency not just through business like proposals but also to keep their transactions safe from banking data and cookies collected by Google and Apple. Hopefully educating such minds can lead to full decentralisation and will fundamentally bring about a new age of privacy and independence within the financial sector. The main issue now is to try and convince these old school economists to try and deliver not just from a young age but to also convince universities to join the campaign.

Bitcoin is future currency. As a future currency everybody should know about bitcoin such as who lead the future economy.  I think bitcoin need class room but not main subject like math its stay additional subject. 

Its called the base 10 system, and bitcoin is far from the first thing to utilize it. bitcoin is decimals, but hopefully we are still teaching the children decimals in school, its only like the basis of fucking math LOL. essentially, there is no concept that bitcoin embodies that a child would benefit from being exposed to, that isnt already address by the educational system (because folks have been using number waaay before bitcoin was created, LOL). a home economics class, a finance class, and a computer science class should pretty much wrap up what someone would need to know to be conversant in bitcoin, for an adult. this being introduced under college level seems like a waste.

if we are teaching the kids bitcoin level programming, then damn, i wasnt doing it right in school apparently ;D

I prefer that Bitcoin stays out of the classrooms, except maybe for economic classes. For me there is not reason why we would use it. It is like if we used for example some product from a company as an example. School has to be neutral, it is its purpose.

Well its a good idea, and im sure it will really help a lot of students about it because they got an idea about bitcoin and later they could earn money from it to help their parents and their school fee. Also it can help the students those needs or basi needs in the school. Bitcoin could really help a lot to those students

Bitcoin in classroom? or teach bitcoin in classroom? any of it the question. first of for most we need to teach our friends,students on how bitcoin works so that they will not left behind.

shared with friends will be fine,but teaching it in clasroom will not be, once we alreasy learn how to earn, we will be azy to study.

Yes sir.
Students go to school
Sit in their sit
Teachers discuss about bitcoin
Students realise the value of Bitcoin
They discuss among them
Then all classes of people know from students

Well it should be included among business mathematics in which they can teach how graphs and other factors affect the price of bitcoin.

it is very useful to courses that is related to technology so they must know ideas about bitcoin for them to know the system of transferring and receiving data by being decentralized. its very essential to us people because bitcoin can also help us for our future.

If you teach and the classroom I'm sure that good because bitcoin discussion about the future and how to good invest the money.

Bitcoin is quite risky when bitcoin prices change rapidly. But there are many advantages that we can take when having bitcoin. The ease of various financial transactions and also the benefits that can be obtained is a thing that most people demand. I am a person who likes to take risks because I know anyone who dares to take a bigger risk then he will get the possibility of getting bigger profits.

For me? Its a no because there a lot of student will stop to enter in school because they see that because of bitcoin they dont need to enter in school because bitcoin can give us a huge money if you still workhard to earn it.

bitcoin in the classroom is yes because they can learn about blockchain technology and the opportunity to make money. they can learn what benefits from bitcoin, what they can get from bitcoin, they can learn trading to know more about crypto currency world and the best part is they can have a new investment that will give something bigger to them in future. but of course they need to finish their school or in college because education is important to them and if they can graduate then their parents will be proud to them.

This is definitely a great idea imagine if government were to support and accept cryptocurrency in their country they would gladly imposed these rules of having a bitcoin subject like in college so the students would have a broader sense for investing and saving bitcoin in the near future these would benefit them like helping them to be more a business minded person.

 i think that it would be great if schools can teach or add bitcoin/cryptocurrency to thier subject because it is also like math and related to business marketing/management and crypto seems hard to understand if your doing it on your own, thaths why it needs to have a proper lesson or a course to completely tackle those technical stuffs and to dig deeper on to this world of crypto.

taught about bitcoin in the classroom is a very good idea, I think it would be very suitable if it was in a hook with technological lessons and not math because bitcoin is very much concerned with technology.

I agree that bitcoin is exist in the classroom. This would be good if cryptocurrency was learned in college, especially Economic major. Furthermore study about cryptography is also important when it comes to the IT major. 

Why not? bitcoin can be used by students because it can also help them to earn, but in my opinion it is better if it is just in college, college students for me are more responsible than to those who are in secondary level or primary, but I am not saying all. Depend on a student but it is better bitcoin can be in a classroom of college students.

No. I think that's a bad idea. If bitcoin will introduce in a classroom, students may not pursue their studies. At early age it is nice for them to earn with their own but it will suffer their education.

That is a very good idea. Because in the class room we may know very deeply about Bitcoin. I imagine that Bitcoin would be good for things like teaching. I think bitcoin need class room but not main subject like math its stay additional subject.

That is a great way of spreading information about bitcoin. At least in that way you can direct them to what to expect about bitcoin rather than falling into predators promising quick profit in bitcoin. Many fall for this because of the lack of knowledge. Start with the basics rather than focusing on earning. I think bitcoin can be integrated on subjects regarding mathematics, banking and finance and economics. If it will be done then bitcoin can be respected as a legit currency rather than a money making tool online. Bitcoin must be taught in the classroom like fiat currencies so that they will have sufficient knowledge about it. It is not just about bitcoin, it is about the future of cryptocurrencies.

they do not have to focus on their studies; the bitcoin is just for those who are unemployed because they learn to do it so they have no time in their studies

for me it's not because of the fact that the studyer has become a bitcoin so they can not focus on the study and have not finished the study ... bitcoin is just for the elderly and is not busy working so focus in bitcoin ..

In my own opinion, i think it is not possible to use the idea of bitcoin inside the classroom. It is because the idea of bitcoin is more complicated than it seems. If it will be teach in schools, students will not focus more on studying but instead by earning bitcoin because in that way, they can earn their own money. So bitcoin is for those unemployed or some adults that need a job to sustain their daily needs not for students.

I think classroom is not a good place where bitcoin should a subject for study as we know that when a person become educated and they mature they also talk about bitcoin they use money and they are practical in life so for them if we say that in the social meetings they can use bitcoin.

I agree that Bitcoin should teach in school because this forum can help the students to have a knowledge about taking a business. I prefer to share this thread than to teach a number with letters that could not apply in each life.

For students interested on bitcoin, I think its much better if there will be organization or a club where in they will teach the students how the cryptocurrency works.

For bitcoin to be considered a subject for class,I would say no for now. I thinking that the education should stay the way it is. It has been the format for ages and I think they are doing a great job in my opinion. Alson, one reason is that if students learn how to earn money on bitcoin, they're attention might be diverted to working for coins and its possible that they will quit school(this is base on my own experience).LOL.

Yes the importance of accepting Bitcoin by the government can shape the role of whether schools can teach about Bitcoin or not. Furthermore if certain economists support Bitcoin the process of schools adopting Bitcoin would be successful.This would be better if its taught as a subject in high school and not necessarily commerce streams.the students understanding might be a bit overwhelming for middle school students,and the fact that they are still immature to be trading with Bitcoin.

Yes, classroom bitcoin is a good idea because of the large number of enthusiasts who want to learn the bitcoin. They want to know how to use the bitcoin is good but that they also want to learn how to invest, Transact, share your bitcoin. at the time of a versatile mobile we should be able to use the bitcoin of science we learned in classroom bitcoin.

A classroom teaching bitcoins would be a good idea. Maybe the kids you'll be teaching somehow make a big contribution to the innovation of bitcoins and cryptocurrencies for that matter. I believe the younger generation will be the future of cyrptocurrency and they will make a significant impact in the reformation of the monetary system of the world.

The idea would be good but not for teaching the decimals and related math. Its could be used for different things like teaching the trades, the crypto currency management or what we can say in normal words - Economic Learning. This could be the actual subject to teach in the schools about the bitcoin. They can learn how the economy can be managed, centralised and decentralised differences between the currency and how one can manage their funds. They can learn different ways of earning it and saving it for long or they can learn the part of banking sector with it.

It could obviously help the IT people a lot because there is always lot of coding required and it is artwork of the algorithms only. So yeah it depends on how we want to proceed with crypto subjects in the schools and what it the level of kids for grasping the same.

I think bitcoin is more popular in the world. Even though some countries are against cryptocurrency, it can not stop the rise of bitcoin in the whole world. Because of the increasing number of bitcoin users here in forum, more investors are attracted to invest in bitcoin.

Very good idea, in my opinion. It teaches kids about currencies other than what they have in their pockets and cards.  It also allows them to be enlightened about what most people are doing with money by innovating them. Bitcoins can also allow kids to invest in an early age for their college funds etc.

Quiet confusing, I am employed and yet and I am doing great in this cryptoworld. In my view bitcoin in classrooms is a great idea to educate young people about the importance of bitcoin and its technology, because after all they are the one who will benefited in the future.

it is a good idea to spread knowledge about btc. something will be perfect if you have the proper knowledge. so i thinh it can be done.

Bitcoin is related in economics and management its good thing to know that it will be teach by the students to let them know at their young age how to manage money or handle it for not resulting in loosing.It is a great way of idea to spread out the cryptocurrency in every students.

It will be teach by the students to let them know at their young age how to manage money or handle it for not resulting in loosing.because after all they are the one who will have benefited in the future.

I prefer yes, because cryptocurrency education in school is necessary. Besides adding insight, it will also result in the development of bitcoin in the future.

I think if the bitcoin is not match on the subjects mathematics it is better to the bitcoin that it can be have an own subject or likely "Currency" subject in this subject not only the bitcoin will teach or learn but all the crypto currency and their history and meaning and why they made. It is an new knowledge to those students was not know about the currency world amd its better to know it because they can help it.

Very nice idea if some schools now adopted with bitcoin to their subjects but I think mathematics subject here is not included we have already calculator to compute in converter. Yes programming that include in bitcoin and I have some additional, why not marketing subject and livelihoods programs for better future fits in bitcoin. It is better for the young people to explore cryptocurrency world and tech them for brighter future.

This is  a good idea. Because if you want to go into bitcoin you go to school first so you can study how cryptocurrency works.

Idont think so, I can not disagree because there are colleges and universities that are actually teaching bitcoin as one of their subjects. About what you said, teaching how many decimals or what, how many satoshis to bitcoin, that is not how it is.  It is just a simple math that every highschool student know. Some sort of budgeting is thought on our economics class so adding a subject like what you said is just plain worthless. maybe a thing like introducing to bitcoin, how it works,how trading,mining and stuff like that works,also other altcoins included.

It is okay but as a topic but not as a subject.  I believe there is no need that bitcoin will be taught on schools.  Many bitcoin users and earners are student and being involved with bitcoin does not need s formal education.  Bitcoin was not yet taught in school but it attracts many students and investors.  For me it does not need to be part of the class.

Yes, Bitcoin and blockchain technology should be taught in schools, in order for the newer generation to be much more familiar with digital currency, since it will be their future. I think it is safe to say, that we will see the fall of Fiat currency in our time and will be replaced by digital currencies, since baby boomers will soon retire and gen x will take over, and most of the Gen x are aware of a fast pace technology, there is a higher chance that government's will accept cryptocurrencies, and it will be supported by the following generation, the millennials, and the more it will have a solid support, since most millennials today are into financial freedom and security.

That won't happen and it has to be like this, bitcoin and child together, big no, it can become like gambling. Imagine everyone writes that bitcoin trading is very profitable, holding is better and etc, if child will hear that, he/she may become addicted to get profit from it. Bitcoin is a part of economy and there is no need for childs to know economy but I think there must be bitcoin lessons in universities for people who learns economy or busines administration, management and etc. Without knowinf bitcoin, I can't imagine any professional economist in future.

I think it's good to mix some bitcoin stuff in education it can help students to be aware about bitcoin and to gain knowledge about it even the basic once so that they will know the benefits we can get in bitcoin it may help the students to be aware of it because may later on the bitcoin will become our currency we don't know the future everything maybe put on advanced everything is techy.

For me i think that bitcoin can teach it in the classroom and it's be in under form of economic material and  it's so important for the pupils to know the advantages  of bitcoin and the importance of it for our lives.

I think no, because if you teach bitcoin to the students, they will focused studying here in bitcoin,'cuz everyone wants money and we wanted to know how to earn money so that's why, my answer is no because some subj. will be left behind.

That's a really good idea taking it as form of measurement figure to make students learn better and also promote the bitcoin. This may help in increase in the bitcoin participation and also could be easily used in budgeting. No doubt the idea is good but it is really hard to make school officials and the study boards to implement on that idea.

Curriculum programs are often imposed by ministry of educaion, and since ministries represent the overall policy of governments, it will never tolerate teaching bitcoin at schools.
Though, digital currency and blockchain can be taught since it is related to finance and data bases and it can be used as examples.

I think this kind of topic is will depend to the proffesor or the lecturer. Because if students will relate to the topic it is a good point and vice versa

It can be a good idea, but of course if you are a teacher and professor there must always be various ways and strategies to teach the students regarding math or even decimals. Its just that the teacher must be creative.

Yes, Why? Because it may teach them how technology can change the way we see different things just like the currency on it's function to the society and how the idea of Bitcoin can make or create a cashless society, but not bitcoin alone, also teach the idea of cryptocurrency and the technology of the Blockchain.

Yes! I think it should be taught in the classroom. Bitcoin should be included in the economy sector. And it should also be compulsorily taught like math topics. I think that after class 8, students would be better to read this topic. Although initially many students will not be interested in bitcoin. But at one time it will be very much loved by everyone.

is a big yes for me ... bitcoin is the future money why not teach or tell on the children what is bitcoin and what bitcoin can do in our life

It not good for the using the classroom. It will affect the contraction. If need to use first you will learn it. Then you will use. You will contraction in classroom you get the more information. Then you will get some idea. So will know the invest process. You know how to improve your business process. Bitcoin is future currency you will learn more information for the life improvement.

why not ?
this is a bit impact to the children in the school if they learn what is bitcoin about. for me as a mother i want my child to know about bitcoin so he know what is bitcoin in the future when he grow up

I do not think bitcoin will be taught in the class, but if bitcoin is made into extra lessons it still makes sense to me.

Yes its good if bitcoin can be classroom. New generation i think need to teach about bitcoin.

That's a good idea if in tenths decimal but they are too young to understand the bitcoin. If it is for math why you dont use it that's a great idea. What if they ask what is satoshi? How you able to say or to teach them? What is your thoughts? Just saying. :)

I think it's not yet suitable to teach bitcoin inside the classroom because the main focus of education is to direct them to a right path and teach them good manners and right conduct. But I believe that bitcoin must be taught if they finish their studies. So we must focus to education rather than profit for their young age.

Yes off course it is great idea to teach about digital currency in class room so that most of the students get familiar with crypto currency and can easily start online trade and earning for themselves in early stages of life.

bitcoin is very popular online currency. many people do not know what is bitcoin and how can it use? if we teach bitcoin is in the classroom the students will benefit and as well as bitcoin will be benifited.

  Yes very good ideas
Bitcoin is the most important and interesting online currency
Students of primary stage should the value of Bitcoin. So a common and general topic should open in the classroom and teaching them.

I think it is a better idea if schools integrate bitcoin in one of their curriculum or even just a topic as part of the subject of Economics subject. As student being taught of cryptocurrencies and how it affects nation's economy, they might also learn how to save money and earn money in crypto so they are earning while learning too.

I think it would be good for students that they will know and learn about bitcoin because it can help them in their studies to buy the the things that they needed in their studies aa long they can balance their time in studying and using bitcoin. Students can also help their parents to pay theur bills at home.

A good and a bad side will do for that. So for me it's either of the too. You can manage to teach students on their lesson in usual ways and even make it more interesting. But if you bave different motives about that, simply like making them involve, then why not. As long as you don't force them to do so.

Hahaha I think it is good to know the students about Bitcoin currency it will help like me to sutain their projects at school, as of right now the k to 12 program here in my country makes me really think about how I can provide the things without any money, but when I discovered this forum I felt amazed cause it save me to pay the tuition fee's at school that inspired me to walk forward to do more things in the future.

I don't think that those thing will happen because those things can be easily learned using the internet and i think that the people in the schools will prefer teaching the traditional topics rather than teaching those things because if you are really into learning deeper than the lesson in your school then you can just use the internet since it is very easy to get access to it.

I like this idea of teaching bitcoin in mathematics way. Is also good and fit for courses like Information Technology and Computer Science. But in terms of bringing legalities of bitcoin to education? I don't think so. In major number of countries, It would have to be passed by Education department by a country in order for bitcoin to enter in their curriculum. And I don't think the government would do that cause they defy bitcoin and fiat is their only asset.

It is a good idea anyway, but I've doubted if it will give a huge feedback to the bitcoin community. Because the only we can teach to the class is just a basic calculation and it won't take a long. All of this is just mostly similar to other math problems, finding X and Y, how long and how much. And teaching this it won't take the entire semester just discussing about bitcoin.

I like the idea of having bitcoin as a subject in school because  it is easier to join bitcoin if you have some knowledge about it; but I think it should be placed in tertiary level not in secondary nor primary level because we should prioritize first their studies before bitcoin. Having bitcoin as a subject may develop your thinking and strategy in the future.

yes,by learning about Bitcoin maybe Bitcoin can be an alternative to our work in the future.
and I think Bitcoin is one of the best topics and things you must know and learn,because our future is technology,so we have to learn Bitcoin because will be very useful later.

I think the idea of including the teaching of bitcoin in a subject is not a good idea. Most probably the good thing is speaking specifically on bitcoin. Bitcoin might include in teaching finances or educating them to get more knowledge about bitcoin. It's good in applying in the field of IT but the problem is can it be accepted by the department of education in a particular country to allow this one to teach in the classroom.

I think yes,it can be just like to integrate bitcoin in some subject related. But i think it is good to teach bitcoin to the graduating students for them to not affect the course that they take or the studies in the whole year. Because we all know that everyone of us gave more time on bitcoin especially if we are newbie we can gave more time to learn and study about bitcoin.

Teachers that are teaching about bitcoins is really a good idea, So kids in high school or grade school will learn how to earn money in the early age and they might motivated as early of today and it will lead to their success.

Maybe you're right! but i don't like this idea to bitcoin will be educated in the school. I feel if bitcoin will be known by friends or in the internet after a search, it will be more good. We should educate ourselves about this technolgy, As you said, The future is about technolgy, so people should begin to invest in bitcoins and other altcoins, in the future, we will collect a lot of money.

Yes, that is a good idea. But it is just suitable in countries where Bitcoin is legal. Otherwise, Government will not allow.

when someone are trying to learn about bitcoin the first thing that they think about is to learn it or someone that they can teach it to them but the thing is it can be learn by your own just like for someone here that are now are learned about bitcoin with no help by the school that can be learn for.

I think you are right that bitcoin is the popular currency in the world and now the price high that become the top digital currency worldwide. If we teach about bitcoin in classroom so it’s not a bad thing because students needs to have knowledge about new technology and that will help them in their future.

Of course bitcoin is the future of money and if we teach bitcoin from now to students in the classroom then they will easily handle that and have a good plan for the future, and also bitcoin will become more popular worldwide and also help students to not worry about their future.

I agree with this. Kids won't easily accept things about bitcoin because they need to focus more on basic things... and I think bitcoin is more for advanced. Teenagers somehow can be interested in there since almost all of them use social media and browse in the internet and bitcoin is a good thing for earning, trading, and investing.

I think it is a good idea to include bitcoin in the classroom, not just bitcoin but also blockchain and altcoins, this will be the future of the new world, we need to teach them to understand them.

This, the only way to teach about bitcoin is to create a bitcoin class, or that bitcoin is somehow related to your field, like those that pursue STEM careers but most likely those persons already know about bitcoin since they are the ones most likely to have heard of it from a friend.

 Bitcoin and generally, cryptocurrency teaching should be encouraged. With the right knowledge, the students will be adequately prepared to contribute positively to the crypto world.

Not what I expect when  read the thread title, but OK :P. Yes of course Bitcoin could be the backstory for question in mathemathic, vudgeting, IT, etc. I mean why not? It's the technology of the future.

What I expect is even deeper than that. We could have a class about blockchain and cryptocurrency. It should discuss from basic cryptography, some economic materials related to digital currency, digital currency before Bitcoin (Hashcash, etc), and even to the code side of cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency is such a broad subject. It worked on both technical side (cryptography, mathematic, computer code) and social side of human (economy, price speculation, etc). Would be great for a university major.

Well I think in class room it’s a very good place to spared a knowledge of bitcoin because students are also going to take interest in bitcoin and I’m sure that bitcoin can help them in their future and in my collage we are going to discuss bitcoin on daily base and a lot of students are going to take profit from it so I think it’s important for bitcoin to be in class room.

Great idea! Maybe not compulsory, optional will do. Courses in medical science or agriculture are not required to have them in the curriculum. Only for IT and business students.

I think should be used in the classroom
They can be used to collect fees

i can only see something like bitcoin being a small block in an economics course, there's not enough that bitcoin can offer in terms of subject material to create a cryptocurrency economics course, but that's just my own thought, others might think differently. on the same note, id think that a familiarization / introductory course in bitcoin and cryptocurrency basics as an elective / general ed class would be a better place for bitcoin in a classroom setting. the basics on use and security could offer enough material to fill a semester's worth pf time. there would even be enough material available as classroom aids; the test network would be an amazing tool for this if applied correctly. there could even be a lot of use the recent forks could offer in an academic environment, and the class could even make their own small fork given the tools to do so. there's a lot of potential even for lessons that go far beyond the basics in such a course.

To collect fees of?  It would not be possible for schools especially those who are run by the government but as to the exclusive schools it can be possible.  But knowing that they are rich people, I do not think that they would try bitcoin.  I mean, some who have businesses are not that much aware of bitcoin.

As to be taught in the class, it can be a topic but not as a subject.  It would be a very good example for programming.

Although bitcoin has a lot of benefits, it is unlikely that government will accept bitcoin and allow bitcoin in schools. The appearance of bitcoin has reduced the number of people to the bank. Not only that, bitcoin trading is free, made by the internet so the state can not levy it.

No it's not good to teach Bitcoin in the school especially on kids because when they begun earning maybe they cannot concentrate enough on their other subject just because with Bitcoin they can have money

I think yes! I am a business related student so it will be a big help specially to the course like what i am taking. But i think this will be better if you only choose business related to teach this kind of business. And in addition, if ever it will be legalize may i request to choose the right student.

I think yes so that everyone would be aware that bitcoin really exist and the would know what would bitcoin really is. And what is the purpose of bitcoin. This is a good step to raise awareness about bitcoin the people so that it would be easy to our government to accept bitcoin.

otherwise, I think teaching bitcoin in school is a brilliant idea. of course the content submitted must be in accordance with the grade. the outline that needs to be submitted is that the current economic activities related to payment and investment systems have entered the digital age.

Yes, bitcoin should be taught in the classroom. If bitcoin is taught in the classroom it is a good idea for bitcoin to be widely known to the public, so bitcoin can be widely absorbed in society. It can make people use bitcoin and enjoy the benefits.

I agree of that, but I think we will lose our students to study their dream to be and maybe they will not taking of all of that because they take bitxoin as a permanent job to work and if that happen many worker will ever again employed because they want all in a home based job.

I believe that high school students would be useful to know the basics of cryptocurrency and everything that is connected with it...the sooner they learn about it, it will be easier for them to make their future

Honestly I think it will be helpful for business related students.
cz they can know about it easily .But there sould be some limitation process.Should avoid over use or much addiction.
here my opinion.Thank you.

Yes bitcoin in the class room is a great idea. Because bitcoin is now quite popular. Some people don't know that what is bitcoin. So i think it is a good project for us.

for me yes. Teachers prefer to teach students about bitcoin, because they can learn how to earn money using the internet and earn money with bitcoins. for while they were young they knew about bitcoin.

That's a good idea for teaching bitcoin in the classroom. Then not all classes could be taught about it as a subject. This would be good if it's in college. In contrast, it's not necessary teaching bitcoin under the college level. But it's okay if adding bitcoin as teaching material. I'm sure someday bitcoin would be worldwide known even in a student's book as teaching material.

I only think that it should be taught in class if necessary situations, such as when students ask about it. But, it should never be part of the curriculum for elementary up to middle school students. Perhaps in the high school years, it could be done, but with precautions and proper guidance because we are not yet sure about the negative effects it might cause.

i think bitcoin in the classroom will be not a good idea especially for kids because they will focus only on the bitcoin because they will think about the money in the childhood while if we start discussing bitcoin in the degree level it will be good. sometime in the computer classes teachers are discussing these crypto currencies and they also guide their students that how can you enter into the online currencies system and how you can earn and how you can manage these currencies.

Well this actually happens. Bitcoins are really very popular. Students can use Bitcoin in school to pay tuition fees.

Yes, because it will be able to influence and inform the students or the youth about the essence and importance of bitcoin in our daily life.
With this knowledge they can apply it in real life situation and learn how to invest to secure a bright future.

Since I suppose that a class about bitcoin is going to expose just the basics I do not see why someone thinks that he could collects fees out of people, spread awareness of bitcoin for free and charge money only if you have some real knowledge about how to make money with bitcoin.

I think you could have taught bitcoin into the classroom, but do not interfere with other lessons, because kids are still not the time to think about investing.

It's not possible, because, as we know school is from the goverment, and not all government is pro bitcoin, there are a lot of governments who's against bitcoin. But I like the idea's bitcoin in the class room. It helps people to gain more knowledge about bitcoin, and when they are wanted to join in any bitcoin activities, it's easy for them to collaborate. Because crypto's world needs a better understanding and better knowledge bofore engaging on such activities.

Well, bitcoin can be a great start in the world of trading for many kids and not only kids lmao + it's relatively new and more simplistic to understand than all these stocks and their hard Lingo :D
It's all about HODLing and "to the moon !"  ;D
So yeah it's definitely a great idea to include BTC in the classroom.

I think that in the future it is very necessary because bitcoin is popular all over the world and students need to grasp the basic information about bitcoin. I hope this will happen soon.

In my own opinion, teaching bitcoin inside the classroom in not even necessary. The idea of bitcoin is very complicated and is not appropriate to teach to students because they're still studying. Bitcoin is for those people who wants to earn money because of different reasons like they experience financial problems or they sre saving to have a better life in the future. If bitcoin will be teach in school, they will now focus on earning money rather than studying.

Yes, specifically in Senior High School.  I guess, it is suited in computer subjects as part of binary topic. The topic on how technology evolve and how it affects the community is a good avenue to integrate it.  The idea of cryptocurrency must be introduce and after discussing it, a debate must made within the classroom why some country accept this kind of currency and why some country ban it. 

I don't think we have to limit children at their age to learn about cryptocurrency, specifically the bitcoin. In my own opinion, children are sent to school by their parents to learn what their household life experience cannot teach them. They are sent to school to become literate in all matters specially in financial. Children have to study for more than 16 years to become prepared for the real world. The corporate world and the world of investment-and bitcoin is now part of it! It may not be necessarily be included in the curriculum but I believe that schools should allow bitcoin enthusiast or volunteers to impart the foundation of bitcoin learning. At the end of the day, this will be beneficial to the children.

I agree, because like anywhere in the today knowledge will technology that should be in taught since the early, even though only the basis of her, but the students at least will know and would not be confused when she heard bitcoin as many of those who had heard, interested and want to steeped in her but confused because not have the knowledge of the basis of bitcoin

For me, I think it is not advisable to teach bitcoin in schools especially those kids who are too young because they won't appreciate it. They should focus more on practical things that are they need to know and become more successful when they get old. We can teach bitcoin to those teenagers who have interest to learn about it, so we can easily make them understand.

For me i want to teach bitcoin in school because i know thats the road for every filipino to get there dreams in a simple way not a way for working hard like construction worker thats job its very hard i know the kids appriciate that for ther family

Yes, i think teaching and learning bitcoining in subject related to managing funds and money and other related issues would be great because at a young age, teens will surely learn how to manage their money well at the same time learn lessons about economics and also maube in the future, they can use it as their job. Maybe some parents will be against about this but if this program will be explained to them, well, i think there will be no reason for them to object.

I dont think they will teach students about bitcoin but some students already know about bitcoin maybe they work now.

The problem is that we don't have much enough global adoption. For example before Einstein discovered the theory of relativity, the classrooms, or the techears or the curriculums before that discovery is not teaching it on physics class. So I think let's wait for a few years and BTC will be written in the history books, in the e-commerce courses and in the economics and finance. Time is changing and so does the teachings.
I think if Im going to have a daughter or son I wonder if my kids will learn blockchain in school. :)

for its technical it is not possible to happen to the class. because bitcoin is a digital currency not recommended by the state. Even if allowed to be taught in the class, only certain countries that legalize bitcoin. while other countries will know the bitcoin from the internet. and in school they will be taught lessons and knowledge that legend by state. such as the country's currency

I think its also important? This is future technology so we will stay in the back if we dont learn it.
But in this case, bitcoin in classroom can not be realized in country which is not legalized bitcoin.

My opinion, This only teaches some students who do not understand about Bitcoin at all

maybe we can teach bitcoin in the classroom so they can know what bitcoin benefits for them and they can start to learn basic of bitcoin and try to use it. but we don't need to teach them until they know the deep of bitcoin, we only need to teach them about how bitcoin works, what bitcoin can do for them, why bitcoin can help them to solve their financial problem. maybe it is like an economic lesson for them and I think they will be like it.

Yes, bitcoin in classrooms teach students new era of currency, about cryptocurrency, virtual currency. Next to this it is also gives idea about mathematical algorithms. Mainly for IT persons it isthe  key for new thinking. Bitcoin is a digital currency and the futures of currency, so everyone knows it from school level.

I personally think its great, and I think it will be the trend.

With Bitcoin will happen the same as what happened to the Internet.
No one talked about it in classrooms a few decades ago. But today, you will not find a decent school that does not talk about it.

It's good to learn bitcoins but it should not be mixed with subjects. Better to separate bitcoins from subjects even in math. It is best to have a new subject, which is Bitcoins only to learn. To better understand the students and to make them easier to know. But hopefully it will happen in the future that bitcoins are well accepted as a subject of study.

There is a good news from Australia,

* Australian Primary School Students Explore Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technology (https://news.bitcoin.com/australian-primary-school-students-explore-bitcoin-and-cryptocurrency-technology/).

It's not only about Bitcoin but blockchain has much more potential than that of the sectors in which we are using it today. Things are going to change rapidly but education system won't so it is beneficial for us to teach our kids about this technology in order to create a better and skilled workforce to maintain this technology on a bigger level. Thus, I support the idea of including this part in the academic curriculum.

I think that the basics of the functioning of crypto currency must be introduced already at school and it is not so important in what particular subject it will be. It is important here that the children from the school understand that the crypto currency has appeared on one of the stages of the development of electronics and that this is actually a branch of science that has become used for the existence of digital money. So that they understand that digital money is a deep technical development, and not fraud, as they sometimes say even in power structures. In specialized higher education institutions, it is necessary to explain in more detail the technology of blockchein and how digital money works on this technology.

I think it's necessary to teach children about chain application knowledge in class, but try not to teach children to do bitcoin and other encryption currencies. It may not be good for the children's growth

Yes, I agree. Bitcoin can be part of discussions in a class, but it cannot be a subject itself. It only plays part of the subject but not subject of its own. It can be a good example of how demand and supply concept goes. This may be one of the ways to introduce bitcoin to people, and best thing is to teach this to students so that they will learn it deeply how it run through the society.

I would love to have that in schools, but merging it to the other subjects makes other students confuse. I think it is much better if its an another subject. Much better if you teach this in college level, were students have the right or willingness to choose a subject and they atleast have the idea of it. Rather than teach it to elementary level students that still learning the basic of math. Or might as well to have  a course all regarding bitcoins, crytocurrencies, how to trade them and any other thing that is releted to ecurrencies that is best to be part of a curriculum. Like in Russia, im not sure if they have the course or subject about bitcoins.

Bitcoin is so bad with kids because it’s money and can be used before being 18.

so if kinds have money will make uncontrolled think which will be so risky.

Only if IT programming, even that in very narrow way. For any of your future suggestions "we can teach English with Bitcoin ..." I can answer you with only but a couple of a words: "what for?"

Bitcoin in the school will need more studies before the implementation of it to the curriculum especially in a k to 12 program like in our country it is a newly implement so the school is under observation and it is hard to say that bitcoin can teach in school.

I think teaching a bitcoin would be a great idea.
For the people to know the benefits of bitcoin.

Kids already know about BTC.  They learn about it through word of mouth from friends that bought drugs in dark markets.

I think it will be such an interesting class. Although maybe if we don't understand about crypto and don't take interest in it, that kind of class will be so boring and annoying.
But i hope there will be a class like that though, so i can understand more about bitcoin and i won't be confused again to whom i need to ask all the questions i don't understand about bitcoin, because i will have a teacher right?
Maybe the goverment and school should consider this idea.

Yes, Sounds great but only on business & I.T. courses. Grade school children might not handle it at the young age. It could only be part of the discussion of a certain subject but not as a whole. It can also be a good topic to be use on thesis.

Can't say if this is reliable source of information if kids begin with hearing such things about cryptos it will adversely affect their thinking about crypto. They will think that btc is used merely for illegal purposes. Believe it or not 50% people who know about crypto still dont invest in it because they think that it is some sort of illegal crime. 

why not we should start teaching realistic things to children in school rather than some outdated
syllabus. bitcoin might not last really long but giving them a little idea about it can make a really big difference
in their life

unfortunately there is not much to know about bitcoin, blockchain yes

For me yes, because this is for a personal writing project I'm working on. I imagine that Bitcoin would be good for things like teaching things like math with decimals. So they know about it, so they can concentrate on using bitcoin.

It will be a really nice idea if they are going to teach bitcoins on schools because children will have a knowledge to learn how to earn bitcoins and strive to become rich in the future. This is a very nice start for everyone if this kind of education will be implemented.

If you are talking about teaching maths then just maths os better. There are some topics which shall be avoided by school curriculums and one of them is bitcoin I guess. Teaching about bitcoin in school won't effect too much but can shift the track of students from studies to earning bitcoins after they would come to know about the potential of Bitcoin. So bitcoin should be avoided by school curriculums according to me.

Perhaps if included in the school's additional curriculum, bitcoin would be useful, since the age of learners is better aimed at the core development of blockchain technology so they do not directly learn about unregulated investments by the government. The younger generation is a very competent person in the development of crypto currency technology but this novelty will be very effective for college or business school curriculum.

Introduction of Bitcoin on school will be fun and could be helpful also, specially for children. However, it should consider the grade level of the students.  

Digital currencies and blockchain are playing significant role in the future and children should learn it.

Bitcoin is a bit too specific of a topic to earn it's own designated school subject, nor even featured in math. If anything it could be included in the curriculum for economic education/IT in middle and high schools, but at this point it's too early to think about teaching it as a subject as most education officials will dismiss it as something not worthy, granted that will bite them someday, but as I said that day is far way.

I wont agree in teaching bitcoin in classes.
I believe the people must be able to choose what they wanted,  they went to schools in order to gain knowledge in general about different aspects in life.
And bitcoin is not a subject everybody would want to have, listeners or students must first must have interest on it in order to make the lessons effective. But if they didnt want to hear about it then the efforts will just go in vain.

It is a great idea that every student in school has an opportunity to learn and educate about the importance of bitcoin in our society. Through this they can build a strong foundation for the innovation of the system in future.

I don't think that Bitcoin is a specific subject that can be teach is classroom. Rather I would like to say that, we can give example of Bitcoin for a great innovative invention done with two great quantum physics theories blockchain and cryptography.

Bitcoin is not a bite of everyone's mouth. Because there are so many white papers are available to learn blockchain and cryptography.

Very interesting idea , integrating bitcoin to the educational system will have a positive impact on student's knowledge , from one side, they acquire new information that can help'em in daily life, and in the other side, they remain in correspondence with newly financial services that are launching

I doubt that is going to happen, just look at what they teach at schools now, they do not even teach how the economy works, and you see people going in debt to pay their college education not understanding there is not real demand for their degree and that they are going to be 40 and still paying their student loans.

For me, I think it is not advisable to teach bitcoin in schools especially those kids who are too young because they won't appreciate it. They should focus more on practical things that are they need to know and become more successful when they get old. We can teach bitcoin to those teenagers who have interest to learn about it, so we can easily make them understand.

In my own opinion I think it is a great idea that the government should consider; educating the people about in bitcoin since cryptocurrency is slowly builds its name the whole world.
Informing the students about bitcoin will help the society to start a innovation for a great future.

Kids do not think like that, you are putting the thought of an adult in the body of a children, most kids know what is money since they interact with it but they do not understand where it comes form and what they need to do in order to get more of it.

Education is the real foundation of all things especially to achieve a bright future. I think educating the people about bitcoin and cryptocurrency since in elementary and high school is a great thing.
We can start a wonderful future if all people are educated about bitcoin and make something chang for their better future.

If it’s to teach mathematical lessons then there’s nothing wrong with it. You might see students familiar with the term, or parents who oppose t it.

Possible but I prefer no. I it is good if the government will promote bitcoin in academe but I don't like it. Think of this, if you will join a signature campaign or a bounty campaign they will required you to have a degree in bitcoin and that is not good for people that don't like studying like me. I spent half of my life studying and I don't want to do it again. I am investing in bitcoin because it is hassle free and I want it just like this.

I think it is a good idea to integrate bitcoins on schools. When teaching decimals as well. But when integrating bitcoins to the learning system, I think it should heavily focus on the computer side of learning or more IT courses. We can have a lot of possible alt coin makers from the future generation.

I don’t think specifying Bitcoin in classrooms are necessary. Perhaps the broader idea is more helpful for them to be able to decide where they can invest.

Maybe it is good to teach bitcoin in the classroom regarding programming stuffs or cryptocurrency works,  with that, individuals will know the process of creating virtual currency.  Also,  it is very effective to teach how to trade bitcoins to alt coins

I think that's a good thing. Because then everyone can know what bitcoin is with the real meaning. It is therefore possible to reduce negative thinking about bitcoin from people who are not or are not yet familiar with bitcoin.

Education is key but you do not have to stop learning when you are out of school, keep learning, in fact most of the useful information you are going to learn does not come from the school but from information that you look by yourself, so if you want to learn about bitcoin do not wait until it is taught in a classroom.

In general i agree that bitcoin in classroom but not for all student at least student in univercity. If lower than that i think they will not undertand and it is not the right time for them to start.

As long as it has the idea of what the true topics is, it doesn't matter what are the things that will be used or ways it will be taught. And I think it is also better, that children's will have an a idea of what bitcoin is so they won't be so much ignorant when one day it become very useful to the society. I think it would be great, but the question is, would teacher/prof. would see it very useful?

I think it could be an additional lesson, especially in the economic sector. Bitcoin has a major element of economics, crypto as matematka or also information technology science and development. This will be a very long lesson I think, but at least all students will be interested about this, it could be some ane people behind it all.  8)

The idea is pretty good, if bitcoin is incorporated into the learning material then people will more easily recognize bitcoin. With the method of introducing such bitcoins, then people will be more confident and curious with bitcoin.

I suppose you can do that. You're teaching math and creating cryptocurrency awareness in the classroom.

Yes it's a good case if it's not a good idea if satoshi make a math formula HAHA. It is best to study it with students who have a Business-related courses. They will study Bitcoin History and how it runs in our day now, studying how it helps people who use it. It's a good idea to study it and tell the success of bitcoin to people and to be able to inspire students at bitcoin someday. :)

for me it is no, because when bitcoin enter inside the classroom the students will not listen to their teacher, they will just sharing about bitcoin and will focus on earning it rather than to pass their academic subject.
In other way it is good, because children may learn about earning bitcoin and they will earn profit even they are student.

For me, I don't think that they should bother teaching it on school because for one, Bitcoin is not forever and Two, economics subject can already sum up the basics about it.

It's a no. Because bitcoin does not sum up the economy and there are more basic stuffs to teach in school. If you want financial literacy, there are seminars out there and other learning platforms such as youtube and podcast.

It will take a lot of time before Bitcoin will be taught in IT classes. Most of the teachers will continue to teach working with Microsoft Excel and Word for the next few years. It would be great to see Bitcoin in the classroom. We should make our children aware of problems with banks which could be easily solved by introducing cryptocurrencies. However, governments won't give up so that's why we might not see Bitcoin in the classroom for a long time.

I think that the main thing that one should know about currencies (fiat) is their ability to rob their holders by issuing. This is the advantage of bitcoin and not in other qualities.

As a education graduate..( just graduate did not make it as a career ) I can say we can consider it as a digital class room  Why ?? because when you go to bitcoin discussion  you can find  a lot of instructional materials  that you can use to learn for studying the bitcoin.. you can find a teacher  through others post because of their personal thought about bitcoin..you can have knowledge for your future financial security for your kids ...and as a digital teacher you can earn your salary through it but in most different way because no one's gonna deduct any tax  debt from your money 😊😊😊

I think this is extremely necessary. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are the future trend of payment, so students and students need to know what the global financial market is changing and what students need to do to be prepared for the future. the use of bitcoin and crypto later. I think the education sector in the world should quickly put money into blockchain technology, open source, bitcoin and teaching in schools.

Incorporating bitcoin in an educational curriculum is not a bad idea. Some universities have adopted it. If it is applied in school then I think it will also be very effective. Students should know about the development of this financial technology, they can be taught about the economic and technological side. It will definitely be very useful for them in the future

Of course we have to teach bitcoin and especially blockchain, whether we like it or not, it's part of our economy and we have to transmit this knowledge.

It would be quite interesting. Especially for universities, especially for IT courses. I studied cryptography at uni and still wonder why we didn't learn anything about blockchain and bitcoin there ??? This could have been very useful

Yes, but not on grade school. I'll prefer it would be teach during high school, economics and TLE (entrepreneurship). It is more interesting when it is thought during college and for adults, there must be a seminar about bitcoin for them to know and understand what is cryptocurrency all about.  In that way, lots of people will invest, mine, trade, join and use bitcoin.

I am sure there is no bitcoin in the school. In my country, bitcoin is not supported and not accepted. So bitcoin will never appear in school. Even, the state banned bitcoin.

This is  a good idea. Because if you want to go into bitcoin you go to school first so you can study how cryptocurrency works.

For me, your thoughts are possible. I think at least in economics subject this can be delivered. Advance cryptocurrencies and doing the math itself.

yes, because if bitcoin is inside the classroom many of the people will know about bitcoin and the price of it will get high, because many users and investors will come and buy their stocks.

I would consider only 1 more thing. if we teach bitcoin in class, i wouldn't be surprised if many parents would not be so happy about it and would certainly complain. Therefore i would like to make sure that i don't get into trouble because of this bitcoin issues...!!!

This is great plan but i rather support investing and saving, which is by the way, the most important thing children can learn to be able to achieve whatever tracks they want to succeed in life, bitcoin is just an addition to this after teaching saving and investing

In high school, especially mathematical and economic profile, the teaching of cryptography will be very useful. The children will be aware of the real state of affairs in the world economy.

About bitcoin now need to tell as many people as possible, especially high school students, because this generation will build a new world in a few years. And knowledge of the crypto currency is very useful to them.

No, I do not support this idea. All people don't need to be traders or Bitcoiners or Investors. This is a job. And people need to choose it.

yes, it is better to teach about cryptocurrency to younger generation... its helps starting out the thoughts and the structures, if they want to learn more and explore cryptocurrency, they can always dig in for more!!

When I first started doing bitcoins, I really missed information about it, about how it all works and why it's worth investing in it. Therefore, modern students need to learn the understanding of the crypto currency, they certainly need it.

You should study more about the technology of blockchain, Don't left behind teach your classmate for everything you've learn in bitcoin. Google is your friend and youtube is your bestfriend. You can earn and learn by sharing knowledge with them. numbers don't lie and numbers of Satoshi is very realistic and will help the economy to solve problem.

Exactly it is a unique and a different concept which will attract many childs towards digital world and blockchain technology. why not marketing subject and livelihoods programs for better future fits in bitcoin. It is better for the young people to explore cryptocurrency world and teach children for brighter future.

The earlier these guys learn about the crypto currency, the better for their future. Therefore, there is no doubt that it is worth teaching cryptography at school.

I agree with you. Bitcoin should be taught in the classroom. This way students will be well informed and they won't be victims of the bad media who spread negative info

In my opinion, teaching bitcoin/satoshi in the classroom may be helpful to student's career or professional goal.
It would be better also to teach trading and investment in cryptomarket so that everyone will be familiar even in the young age.

It is a pity that at my school we were not told about crypto-currencies. Then I would have entered this sphere much earlier, and my results would now be different. I hope that the modern education system will be amended and will tell all high school students about bitcoin.

Yes it could be, but in secondary level so the children will have enough age and thought to understand well what and how the bitcoin works. Aside from learning how to earn money they could enhance the possibility to become a good business handler soon, because trading and investing is on the lessons. They also be open minded in terms of crypto and online industry.

Yes. It's high time the school system begin to teach real life skills from the primary level. Bitcoin and blockchain technology should be taught in the school from the primary level to the advanced level. This will go a long way in changing our world.

It is possible  to discuss bitcoin in the future. Maybe teachers can include in Economics Subject discussion or even in the taxation what digital currency exempted to TAX. So for the meantime lets wait and watch what happen if people already know better about bitcoin.

If you really want to teach cryptocurrency in the classroom then your topic should be about block chain and how the algorithm works because using bitcoins as a terminology on numbers is just like a simple math and there's nothing new in there so focus on another topic not just about computations.

Ofcourse yes
It become new kind of currency and part of economic lesson
So student knew new kind of currency so their not left behind
The teachers too they have study first about crypto currency so they ready to accept all the question from student

A brilliant idea!!!! So that if time comes and it will surely come, they have the enough knowledge about bitcoin in preparation for them on how they will use it. Bitcoin will surely the Currency for this Century..

I agree with you and if bitcoin was taught in the classroom, maybe the teacher is only teaching about the investment the student money in bitcoin without telling about anything so the student will learn about one of the bitcoin benefits that will work for a long-term. besides that, if the student wants to learn more about bitcoin, I think they can find more info about bitcoin by reading from the other resource and they can practice at their own risk.

I was just thinking about this because I am looking for a topic for my thesis in curriculum studies.

My company is working with universities right now for updating the curriculum of information technology courses. The project seeks to improve the competencies of graduates for cybersecurity jobs. As we know, malware and ransomware are so rampant now. Yet in my country, these are not discussed at length in universities. So the classroom has to catch up with the not-so-distant-future direction of the industry.

Following that rationale, I would say blockchain in the classroom and not just bitcoin in the classroom. I know many successful people in the tech industry did not finish college or detest schooling. But I believe we can speed up development and adoption by starting in schools while at the same time changing how concepts are taught.

I would suggest an elective on blockchain and related technologies first, with bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a part of that curriculum. As for including bitcoin in economics classes, there is an upside and a downside to that. The upside is of course changing the misconceptions "lay people" have about bitcoin. A great topic as well is decentralization vs. centralized banks and how this shakes up the current world order. Then again, as has been said, we don't want to teach trading in classrooms all over the world. I agree with inclusiveness, but making gains should not be the focus in teaching bitcoin.

Have I found my thesis topic?  :D

Teaching bitcoin in the classroom won't be a bad idea but I would prefer the technology behind bitcoin to be taught in schools instead. In order word, teaching blockchain technology will be a better idea because it will have bitcoin as one of the contents in addition to cryptography and cryptocurrencies. I  think is a high time this subject is taught in schools

For me it is a good idea but it should be for college students or at least high school because they already have the logical and critical thinking about money, spending and all. We can also incorporate it with different subjects like Mathematics, Information Technology, Economics and Business.

Wow..I think that a great idea. I ever think about it before. As a teacher, I think Bitcoin as a subject in the classroom will be interesting and challenging. The students will eager to know more about bitcoin. As we know, work in the crypto world is easy. We just need the proper knowledge to do this job. Mmmm...teaching bitcoin will be so much fun  ;D

I say yes, teaching about bitcoin to students is a good idea but it should be taught according to the age, so if it is kids it should be given in the form of games and puzzles, then for juniors the technology and its merits can be added in the subjects and for seniors both technically and financially it can be taught, so when coming to college it will be ease for them and it can be incorporated in detail  in all fields like mathematics, computer science which includes cryptography, financial sectors which include crypto currencies and in business management.

I think it's bad idea because everything you want to know about bitcoin is already avaliable for free at google. If you need your child to know about bitcoin tell just tel them.

Special courses and master classes devoted to the themes of blockage in general and crypto-currencies in particular have already been offered to students of a number of state universities. And from schoolchildren, I believe, you can enter a special section on the crypto currency and blockchain in the subject of computer science.

Bitcoins to be in a topic is not bad in that case the one problem is that topic it needs a person to have a knowledge about bitcoin because for sure what would be the sense of teaching it if a person doesn't know bitcoins at all. More importantly bitcoins is a serious matter because it involves money so that it will not be merely to be teach in a school what more with the teenagers.

no because, there's no moderator ;D ;D

Yes, but on the part of computer studies. You can study it’s history, how it works, how to code blockchains, etc. You can also study its economy.

However, formal education about bitcoin is very important. This is a new knowledge of technological developments, so it is very important to be taught. Although all the information related to cryptocurrency can be obtained from the internet, but if there are teachers will be better.

As what you have stated to be the usage of Bitcoin in terms of putting it into classroom discussion, possibly it is just fine especially if Bitcoin usage will be totally implemented to be used by all people around the world to find an essence to work on teaching Bitcoin inside the classroom vicinity. If the purpose is toward learning, possibly it will be just fine to happen as long as it will be used for educational purposes to be taught into specified individuals.

I think we should not insert bitcoin in some classroom subj or activities it might affect the behavior as well as the mindset of the students. Their interest may get lost if they are engage in btc, they might think, why they are still studying if earning income is just easy? So I don't think it is good to twach bitcoin in schools.

The idea was good and reasonable in a way that bitcoin will be more understandable by many more people. Bitcoin was a big scam for other people who dont know anything about bitcoin. However, for me there are more topic and subjects that should be focused by our educational system by now. We need a quality education today and if they think bitcoin will be good stuff for education then, why not? But it's up to them.

I think bitcoin should be taught. Universities should study bitcoin and teach it as a subject. This is useful for students, it suits the development of society. But it is important that we put it in the right way

why not? i mean it is possible because bitcoin is still realted to math as it mainly compose of numbers and it is also a currency but only digital so therfore is possible for bitcoin to become a part in our schools and teach them as a subject in order for people to learn more about the fundamentals and deveploments on it because we all know that bitcoin is too hard to understand as it has a deep technical structures pertaining to blockchain technology and others.

I think you should give other knowledge about bitcoin to teach. What is bitcoin for example? How does bitcoin work? ... according to me, bitcoin is suitable for college students of economics schools

Based on what you have stated that is will be purposively used for academic stuffs, I think it will be just fine to teach Bitcoin inside the school though it is not really needed to be. Maybe just a minimal discussion for those topic that are related to currency like Economics, Mathematics and even Information Technology that is related to computers. It will be just fine discussing it but not to be totally focus on it the whole time of the discussion.

I think it's hard to put bitcoin into class. To put bitcoin into the classroom, you have to study and develop it into a subject, must have basic curriculum to teach about it. I'm not sure students are interested in this subject. I think it will not work

I thinknit depends because if you are gonna teach bitcoins in an economics class then it is great for them to know the bitcoins and all the other cryptocurrency. But just a pure bitcoin thing not on how you are gonna hain money. Because that is out of the lesson anymore that is more on seminar not a school basis.  If you want to learn on how to do bitcoins it is just an additional thing that the teacher would add if ever that they know how to use it. But the you economist in yhe country and the future ones need no know all about the cryptocurrency not just the bitcoins.

Actually it's not bad, but it just looks too complicated and it's good if it does add a class room.. but it's enough with a knowledge in general only (the basis of it) that can be understanded without make confused. It certainly helps many people who were previously was far away from internet connections, and this will be very useful and more positively to avoid the negative things that could have been encountered if only searching on google only and lack of teached.

The main purpose is not really teach the decimal because it will be complicated for some people.
Other than that, i like to know people learn how to use bitcoin and how bitcoin work and not need to learn all thing include the technology.

Bitcoin is already been taught to some universities especially for those courses who is focused on Information Technology, Computer Science and other related Internet and Computer courses. Why? Because bitcoin has gained audience for the past years and its existence has change things in this world. Because it is a cryptocurrency, it may become an digital asset or payment sooner or later. We all know that technology itself has become innovative and developed so fast, bitcoin is and will be a part of that. It is a fact that cannot be changed. That maybe in the future will come, digital payments is possible.

I think that children should know what Bitcoin is. Learning the basics of crypto currencies in schools would be interesting and useful for everyone. Especially as we go into the era of crypto currencies.

As long as better and best learning is at stake, you could use any method since your goal is to teach while improvising things. Using bitcoin might have an impact on the students, they'll be probably get curious on it and will learn what it is and they'll get rich sooner or later haha

It is a great idea that every student in school has an opportunity to learn and educate about the importance of bitcoin in our society.Bitcoin is not a bite of everyone's mouth. Because there are so many white papers are available to learn blockchain and cryptography.

I'm also thinking of this idea too. Community really need this to happen to educate youth generation about the new technology. Crypto Currency mainly Bitcoin and Ethereum can be the future currency of the world. So need to start learning in school now.

Yes!  It is a great idea to teach bitcoin in the classroom, most especially nowadays children are exposed on modern technology. They are more interested on social media than reading books or studying their lesson. So,  bitcoin in the classroom helps the students to be more productive while studying.  They can earn to sustain their daily needs in school (projects, thesis, requirements and other).

This is a good idea to spread the Bitcoin around the globe, especially schools. But for me it is a no, because the knowledge in Bitcoin can be easily acquired nowadays. You just need internet and a smartphone/computer then you can acquire the knowledge through searching websites. Students might become bored in this subject because it is kind of basic concept or easy to learn unlike math, science, philosophy, history, etc. I suggest that Bitcoin must become a topic instead of a subject. Students might become curious and acquire knowledge in the internet if you taught them all about Bitcoin but only in a simpler way.

That is true, some universities already included in their syllabus but I would like to see more serious and detailed courses that focus on blockchain programming and also philosophy of it. We need to have deeper knowledge.

This is an interesting idea in my opinion, where Bitcoin is a field of study at school, but it must be remembered that the school schools in each country are managed by the government itself, and I am sure if the government does not approve of the idea. , they fear it will interfere with the existing field of study.

I think yes, this is a best idea that bitcoin in the classroom to teach children, so that they will learn immediately at a young age. Especially now bitcoin is already popular and most profitable currency. They should consider btc as a major subject, because this is an important that they will learn, and they have knowledge about btc currency, that our world is now uses of internet. Students must needs to be learned regarding about btc, i think they will interested know it.

I think it is necessary for the younger generation to know bitcoin because it is a digital transaction and a new form of currency transaction.

yes I agree because in a modern era with sophisticated technology there needs to be knowledge about bitcoin to introduce
that bitcoin can be used by anyone.

But that is precisely what governments do not want after all, why governments will want people to adopt a currency not backed by them or any government that gives them true freedom that can be used everywhere around the world and that does not require any kind of centralized control, all of that is great for us but not for banks and their interests.

It's just like when the first time the internet and email first started coming out and computers we getting better and better, then we started getting computer classes. The same thing will happen to 'blockchain' and 'cryptocurrency' courses. First it will be Universities and Highschools then perhaps even in younger grades. There's been some news about college students jumping on board blockchain technology courses recently too:


"Bitcoin and Crypto Courses All the Rage at America’s Top Schools" (https://www.bitsonline.com/bitcoin-courses-america/)

"Universities add blockchain classes in effort to help close tech skills gap in enterprise" (https://www.techrepublic.com/article/universities-add-blockchain-classes-in-effort-to-help-close-tech-skills-gap-in-enterprise/)

"Cryptocurrencies Invade College Campuses in 2018: Blockchain Classes and Mining" (https://btcmanager.com/cryptocurrencies-invade-college-campuses-blockchain-classes-mining/)

"Due to overwhelming demand, USC offers its second course on the technology behind cryptocurrency that’s changing the way the world does business" (https://viterbischool.usc.edu/news/2018/02/time-disruption-batty-bitcoin/)

"Cryptocurrencies Come to Campus" (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/08/technology/cryptocurrencies-come-to-campus.html)

I totally agree with this point. You could even try something exotic and mix bitcoins with apples, or ask the kids things like "how many bitcoins do you need to buy an apple?" and regardless of what the kids answer you then tell them one day 0.00005 BTC and 0.00007 on the other day.

I think its really good if bitcoin or cryptocurrency teach in the classroom. Its good time now to educate people about cryptocurrency because many negative news about cryptocurrency that they dont understand is that news right or fake.

yes but I think it's better if it will be taught on middle school or college because they can already adopt and use bitcoin if they want. It will be hard for the kids to understand because it is complicated, but we can let them know that it exist.

It is a good idea but it is never going to happen, governments do not even include basic information about the economy in school, if they did, people will realize that the economy is not sustainable and that is just a big scam that benefits those that are powerful and that they are the biggest losers, so if not even that amount knowledge is allowed I do not think something as bitcoin or altcoins has any chance to be taught at school.

Why not? If this thing happen. There will be more people have knowledge about bitcoin and any other cryptos. And if many people have knowledge about bitcoin they will not say anymore that bitcoin is a scam and ponzi.

bitcoin in school??? I think this is not a good idea for the students to learned crypto currency  if they learned how to earn bitcoin maybe they didn't want to go to school and they focus to earn money in bitcoin world

If that may happen it is easy to catch up the things on bitcoin in how to used about crypto technology. It can develop our knowledge about the system of bitcoin and learned things to initiate and earned a lot of money.

Fun is good to start a job.  With fun we will do our job with sincere.
Actually teaching is not my job and i am not the one who like to teach anybody because i dont like.

I agree. Bitcoin is a systematic currency and it requires quite great knowledge so that you can really gain a lot of benefits from it. As we all can see, plenty of people think that bitcoin is just a simple job you can go to whenever you are needing money but little did they know that you should atleast be knowledgeable if you really want to earn big in here and it should not be disregarded.

I doubt your idea. If Bitcoin is used as a subject at school, I believe it will be very difficult to learn and digest by all students. Especially want to be associated with mathematics lessons, surely all the students are more confused and do not understand the lesson.

Yes, we should start discussing bitcoin on students at the right level of their courses.  Bitcoin is is used widely now, it is used as substitute for hard currency and even credit cards, so it is not only for those who study IT but for those who study finance, accounting or marketing.

a big no it will disturb your concentration in your studies and make problems to you if your teachers/dean caught you in the act you can do bitcoins during your free time.

I'm sure if IT will master and crypto will be a new thing in the world of trading and stock of the world and satosi from a small part of IT development and we must understand this.

Bitcoin in the classroom is not so good, students can not focus studying when they do bitcoins inside the class. But it is good way to teach bitcoin in economics related subjects but not in math subject.

if opened in the classroom I think it is very helpful for beginners, because something like this or the introduction of crypto in beginner is important. and teaching not only to certain people but general teaching is also very well done, I am sure crypto in the future can be used globally

Although bitcoin is exposed since the price on global market many establishment create a presentation to people on what is bitcoin and many things about cryptocurrency,I think in private school that the first move to teach blockchain technology before on school from government ,Just a good sounds to teach on school.

really hope in my classroom, someone teach me like you saying. give me more information about trading, mining, bounty campaign, etc
so excited if i stay at bitcoin classroom

Teaching bitcoin in the classroom is a no for me. You can discuss bitcoin in some subjects such as management or ecomics but it can never be the main topic or lesson needed to be discussed. If you want to further know about bitcoin, you can do research. Internet is everywhere. Also, not all people, specifically children are not interested in bitcoin. Bitcoin can be discussed to places where people are also investors of bitcoin.

For me its ok to teach with  those college students so that they can get some strategy and start to have thier own living and this opportunity could make them independent if they will know about it.This is also their chance to earn from their own work.

I think that the training, teaching bitcoin is necessary and important. Bitcoin has been formed for 10 years, but it's only really popular in the last few years. especially in the year 2017. Bitcoin has become the focus of the media, investors as well as the world community. However, not everyone sees the bitcoin as positive. They think that bitcoin is a scam of money laundering organizations. That negatively affects bitcoin and the development of cryptocurrency. Therefore, the training course, teaching bitcoin is important and necessary.

Obviously we have to adjust it to the country where we live, whether it's legal or not legal yet, because in my opinion this will affect and can violate the law, because after all .. it is a something related to a society.
On the other side, indeed it can be useful for the general public or students in general, but i think it's more suitable for high school.

maybe this is a good idea to give knowledge about bitcoin, but very rarely anyone would give an understanding about bitcoin because so far it is not uncommon for people to learn about bitcoin, maybe that's the constraint.

I think a lot of the game theory and cryptography should be looked at in class rooms because there is so much to it and a lot of these ideas will only become bigger parts of IT and even finance. We are so early in the technology aswell.

At the school level, I say no because students should get the basic knowledge about the subjects in their schooling, so no bitcoin at that stage. When they once enter college life then it is better to give them a class or knowledge about the bitcoin and its importance that make sense. 

I'd say Bitcoin in the classroom starting with 16+ year old kids, in these ages they start having a better perception regarding money and they're still in a good age to understand finance . Basically a good age for them to question why do they value printed pieces of paper saying they're worth X $ ou € or whatever. They should a complete understanding of how the world financial system operates.

crypto currency is a new technology and if this is teach in the classroom then I think it will attract youngers to explore the cryptocurrency and I am sure that some of them will give contribute too for this technology. as we know that sometimes the younger people has many new ideas that will give something new for developing the cryptocurrency to be better than before. besides that, this will attract them to be active in the cryptocurrency and finally it will give a good progress for the grow of cryptocurrency in the future.

I think that programming and financial education should be a compulsory subject in all schools . Then while teaching the kids, teachers should address issues such as blockchain and cryptocurrencies in general. It's useful for the kids and it would help in the growing of digital currencies in the future.

I support teaching bitcoin and other cryptos in school, but maybe in college level. It may be a little confusing for lower levels, you know in how they lead their lives in the future or I don't know for sure I can't speak for the norms of other countries.

Going back, when bitcoin will be taught in schools, this would promote the digital currency all the more. With educated individuals and learned at that, information conveyed with regards to pros and cons of bitcoins will be concrete and would sweep away all those inconsistencies heard. And eventually investors will follow, and global acceptance of digital assets.

In my own opinion it is possible, maybe their are students who are bitcoiner and bitcoin can be also inside the classroom. We can teach the students how to be independent enough while they are still young. Because of bitcoin maybe a lot of students will more technology based and they are fast learner so no hard to teach. But for now most common bitcoiner are the who worker already. For the students sake also to know the differet cryptos and level but it is good for college not for lower grades.

Well for me, it is a great idea to teached bitcoins in the schools because this generations needs to improved the learnings about financial education.Forget the old style and adapt and develop the new kind of source of income.The students must learned about cryptocurrencies on their early stage.Not after they graduated but today.Because if they start today,they will learned  a lot of knowledge on how to trade, sell or any kind of ways that will surely gain profits from bitcoins.

I think this is very unlikely. Our government does not accept bitcoin. They do not allow bitcoin to be used in my countrty. So, that bitcoin is taught in the classroom will never happen. Although bitcoin has many benefits and students know about bitcoin and how to use bitcoin will have many benefits, students will be able to earn their own income and financially self but the government can not control the development of bitcoin. Bitcoin is not accepted, bitcoin will not be taught at school.

I dont think there must be a whole new subject about bitcoins but yes now students much be tought about bitcoin and cryptos...how they work and what are their uses in some class and keep them updated

We will be proud if something we learned in interest by many people.
digital currency is much to be learned, I agree if there are specific subjects to learn it, because it is indispensable for the future positive change, from here we will develop.

I think blockchain technology should be teached early in school.  The future is blockchain technology and also cryptocurrencies!

yes,In my opinion, if we talk about Bitcoin in the class room, or if we can do more knowledge about Bitcoin, then there are some things that are good for reading in the classroom.Because the need for good to know about Bitcoin's trade and holding or sells.

Yes for me, why not ? bitcoin can be taught in the school or college.
Let everyone in this world know about bitcoin. Bitcoin future will be better.

It is a yes for me to teach what bitcoin is all about. Even just a basic background for highschool then add crypto ideas in college. Specially when it comes to information technology, they must not be that innocent and there will be lesser issues if they encounter it in the future.

I do not think that it is right to teach about bitcoins in classroom. All the focus at that age should be on learning not on money.

I think that's a good idea, but is education in school applicable at the moment?
I used to be involved in programs like creating a site. but after being involved in crypto I prefer it. I think in the future there will be many good innovations that involve on human social life

I do not think bitcoin should be in one class at school because bitcoin can be personally studied. Schools should be better give the etiquette in life so they can be good

surely it will be very useful. maybe an addition from me, there is a lesson about bitcoin trading, and also a tool for minning bitcoin and how it works. it will be more useful for students for their future, rather than having to learn the science of how to repair computers.

I think Bitcoin should be thought in IT classes which focuses on computer and internet. Students could learn a thing or two about cryptocurrency and what's its use for the world.

agree , not only I.T but also in economics and math or business related subject like marketing because bitcoin does also related to them. that would be great if schools can implement it because bitcoin , blockchain and the whole cryptocurrency ecosystem are verry important For every people to learn in order to make their lives more eaiser. Bitcoin should be taught not only inside the classroom but also outside it, like for example in the house , churches , malls and any other public places so that many people will be aware on it.

No offense but i do not like the fact that the bitcoins will going to be a reference in some math problems and besides bitcojns are volatile so the value is mot that accurate and stable so the convertion will be difficult because no stable price can be issued. But i think they can somehow teach in economic class but just a glimpse of it not all those thing but just pnly the concept and on how it workss.

No because the other subjects will left behind, if bitcoin will be introduce in the classroom maybe the students will only focus on btc especially if they can discover to make money in btc so others will not be interested to go to school. I think if they are interested they can learn at their own pace because at this new era, their are a lots of resource materials found in a website, if you want to know something in just one click in the internet you can find the answers. If being introduce in Math problems so it will be more difficult.

I think Bitcoin in the classroom would be a great idea, but only if it's an option and people will be free to chose whether or not they want to study about Bitcoin.

Well, any things that they taught at school can help them for their future so why not bitcoin since it can also be helpful not only in future but at present also. However, we cannot guarantee if bitcoin will last for a long period of time since it is unpredictable. If it is going to be add on curriculum then it is under of IT and Business because it is all about computer and profit.

Teaching bitcoin in classroom or even integrating it to other subject matter such as economics, mathematics and.etc. can be a good help for students to widen their ideas and to become open minded about the happenings now in their society. The knowledge that they can learn to that can be applied in the real situation. So, it is definitely a brilliant idea for me to teach bitcoins to students.

Bitcoin can be taught in some countries. that was amazing. Students know bitcoin, they will be able to make money and finance themselves. But in my country, the government does not support bitcoins and the government has banned bitcoins in the water. In my country, bitcoin will never be taught in the classroom.

For sure yes, because it is very nice if bitcoin is taught in the classroom and in the kids for a while they can think that they are instantly if they want to bitcoin immediately for in case they grow bigger the money they accumulate btc ang money in bitcoin. and when it comes to the time they grow up they have money to build a big house upright at home and bitcoin can greatly help them.

It will be a big news for students especially those who love technology and earning money,for me it is good to add the topic "BITCOIN" in the curriculum of the students. It is time to open up the eyes of students in this kind of money, also, it can help bitcoin to gain more popularity and to be advertised too. When many people are taught of bitcoins, they will be interested and the demand of bitcoin will increase rapidly and in this way, it's value may rise hugely and it will be more powerful. BITCOIN should be taught to students especially in the TECHNOLOGY subjects so that they will know more about what our technology can do and what can they get from it.

For me, the students deserved to know about crypto currencies so that early on their age they will know the crypto industry on how it works and on how to trade. However, it was not advisable for the student to required them to learn about cryptos. it may be an optional learning where only students who are willing to learn about it will take that course of sessions of training.

I think that is a good idea to teach bitcoin in the classroom but I think we need to start when the students already have at least the basic knowledge and experience about money. So i think it is best in high school and incorporate it in Economics, Mathematics etc,
