Bitcoin Forum

I was watching a video "Is it college worth it?" and meanwhile I was thinking about that:

Would you advice a teenager to spend 50k/100k in education or would you advice him to buy bitcoin or alt coin and hold them for 3/5 years?

Difficult question. If this was asked  a few years ago, i wouldnt have hesitated to choose school but with the current futune people are earning from the crypto world today, one will need to see the full picture. If the major aim for going to school for the child is to earn money then i think a faster and easier way of doing it will be the second option that involves investing in crypto because the child will not only make money but create wealth also.

Let's see.  Go to school and accumulate a large debt so you can work your entire life to pay it off?  Sounds like a great idea.  The other option is to stop with your materialistic cravings and be free.   

I think also that the second option is a better option.
Imagine to open an account now for a new born and deposit 10 btc when he will grow up he will probably be millionaire already.

I would suggest for school, education is most important but introducing business in bitcoin is also good because it can make money for itself.

I think the lecture is very worth it, and you do not mind if you have to pay for college, and you should also give to buy bitcoin so that after college they have a lot of investment.

Education is not just for piece of paper with your name and certification on it, it changes you and the way you think. It will turn you into a wiser investor, do College and crypto. Both are very important

If you like your course I mean your talents, skills, interests and dreams suit it, you'll enjoy learning a lot of thins about it. Meanwhile, if you just think of work and getting salaries, mess and waste.

Obviously i advice them to spend their money to education. Without education, you will having hard time to find job.
Investing is only side job, because risk from it is big and mostly you just sit without doing anything, for me doing it is very boring.
And how can teenager have money to investing in bitcoin if they not working first, having monthly income is important before investing.

Worthy, because all human beings need knowledge

Worth for me...I think knowledge is important but some would prefer working/real life experience.

Maybe if you spend that much money on the right cryptocurrency you don't need a job at all.

Definitely worth it, you will meet more people and they will change how the way you think..And I think getting knowledge from college is the most important part.

College is worth it, but not for education.
Its for finding A FEW good people, like one or two  ;D

I think it's worth it because lectures learning to explore your potential and your skills.

sure i think college is worth it. Not all get the chance to do online business. To them it is.

I strongly believe that education is a must. It must be something pursued, and there's no loss in this pursuit. I believe Horace Mann when he said, "Education is a great equalizer." Even if you are not born with a golden spoon in your mouth, you can still reach for the stars through education. However, you can both study and trade. You can use trading as a source of resources to pay for your schooling, but never, never, never trade education with anything. Everybody in the cryptoworld knows that cryptotrading is uncertain, as it exists in the digital realm, and nothing physical regulates it. So when all else fail, you'll still have a fallback--your education degree.

Education is crucial. Info about crypto is misleading, more people lose money than the ones that make some profit. Education leads to better paid and stable jobs. It broadens your horizons and it changes your points of view. You meet many smart and interesting young people and you can make friends that will be successful in the future and not some random bums. It's very important who your friends are, if they are intelligent and successful you'll have an incentive to be better and if they're underachievers you probably won't reach your potential. It's not all about money.


Go to Europe, they have pretty good and very chep universities. For 2-5k/year you can have a masters degree in anything. That's just 10-25k and it's less than price of a good car.

I feel worthy, because the importance of education and goals for the future are better, and easy to find work. :)

Education is always better for a kid and being rich is great but not everything

College can be a complete waste of time and it can be the best moment of your life depending on your reason for going there. School teaches your, or better still make you, employable in the future. School also make you meet new people and get new ideas. So it is up to you to decide what you want.
You might want to take a look at this video from Prince EA Why do you go to school?
https://youtu.be/_PsLRgEYf9E

It depends on your dreams and goals. If you want to be a surgeon you must go to college. If you want to be an entrepreneur you don't necessarily need to go to college. You could spend those money to get the proper education from all kind of courses and even launch a business.
So do a map with the starting point being where you are and the lifestyle you want to achieve being the end point. If you need college to arrive at your end goal, than yes, it is worth it.

Difficult question indeed.
If you SURELY KNOW what you want to do right now - after the school - and you really have possibilities to do it and it in fuiture should bring you funds for surviving - you can try to skeep college. If you don't have that - go to the college.

I have been following this topic and I just love your own concept about it. School should not be condemned straight away. Although school is not the ladder to success it is a step on the ladder and if you think you can get the future you so want you can skip that step if not its better you go to school.

You don't need an angel from heaven to tell you whether college is worth it, no matter what education is still the best legacy. Come to think of it without education, what do you think would have been your knowledge and understanding on cryptocurrency.

Personally, I will keep my coins before take-off, in order to make a profit and in the future earn my own money on real estate, travel, and education of my children

This is really risky to answer because it might cause someone a lot of debt or regret. Degrees are great if you plan to be working in the corporate world. It's just a necessity for those who are just starting. When you already have your foot in the corporate world then the degree will have lesser value and it will then depend on your work experience. As for crypto, it depends on what your guts tell you. It is really hard to judge if we are talking about years.

It totally depends on why you decide to go to college. If it's clear enough for YOU, it's worth it. If not, there are also plenty of other options.

cool forum, really very interesting topic

Very worthy.  Knowledge is priceless.  Although many people can be successful without going to college, but for the majority, the connections and education you get from attending a university will be invaluable in life. 

One thing for sure . Every rich family is sending their kids to university. For average folk , it more survival skills if you pick the right course

An education is the most important thing you can provide to a fellow human being. Regardless of whether they end up working in the field they study in, their education will allow them to develop critical thinking and master the art of conducting research. If they put in the effort to hone these skills success is sure to follow. It will also help them in their adventures with crypto. My advice would be to take the minimum course load allowed while still being considered a full time student and working to pay for your education as you go and investing any extra money in crypto. In a sense having your cake and eating too...

It seems to me that all the same who would not say, it is better to spend this money on training, education. So you will have in the future skills that will help you. And it's very risky to buy cryptocurrency.

actually depends on what you really wanna do in life, if you think you need a degree to be successful, then you need to get to school!

Of course to spend on College, get higher education. Without him now nowhere

Education is important to people and graduating from college is the best thing that a person can give to their parents in return for their hardwork just to make sure all things will go in a nice way just to finish their studies. But investing much money where a person can make a big profits from a year or two will change their way in life , instead of going to college they will surely choose to make profits and earn money from investing cryptocurrencies.

I'm out of US where college level education is free and I can see why you guys consider getting into that huge debt. I would say that you guys are forced to plan your future from such a young age where there are many unknown factors.

If you want to be practical person college is nothing because this days we can learn online for free over the internet for example youtube tutorials its much more reliable sometimes than in school you can learn everything you want online without spending huge money if you want to become rich the solution is hardwork and determination not college degree remember some college dropouts who are now a billionaire today like facebook founder.   

Some college dropouts may have gone on to become insanely successful, however, most will not. Self education is good but unless you have the entrepreneurial skills to put your knowledge to work you will find way too many closed doors impeding your progress. The best hope a college dropout has is to become an astute and disciplined investor. It is the only sure fired method to success. A path that favours all who choose it regardless of where they come from or who they know.

right but rarely do we really have a healthy entrepreneur and entrepreneurial spirit, so we go to college while honing skills beyond the lesson

This is extremely expensive (I am not from the US), is there any way you can study abroad for a much more decent price?

The truth if I recommend it, because investing those 25 / 50k are worth it because it is an investment for your life, then with the work that investment will be recovered, because all the effort will always be very well rewarded, being professional, the opportunities are extended and obviously more is gained by the effort made.

In my opinion the education is not knowledge you can get knowledge from your experience as well so choose the education based on your passion if you consider it as an investment then it is not going to work for 90% of people.But it is better to invest on crypto currencies which will start giving profits for you but crypto investments are not safe to risk our future.

Education is really important for me, Im college student and you know my tuition fee is free so the only I need is my allowance for my foods and projects and other expnses. Crypto is good but it still here if you are really want crypto you can choose related to the programming so you can help in the future to crypto community to develop it more.

Spend on education and live the right life. No need to hope for the best that cryptocurrency will grow. Rely on your strength.

Education  make a way to achieve the goal in  life so College education must ,but some times works is necessary due to life problems..

I believe in cryptocurrency and most specially bitcoin as this is the future currency,but I believe more in Studying to have great future so definitely my choice is Go to school and try to accumulate money while studying to invest in bitcoin so thats a two birds in kne shot right?

It's not good if the person relying on the cryptocurrecy we know this is best opportunity but it is not good once they know that and that's true and we know it. Education can give you a btter life because if you are graduate in college permanent job will be offer for you for sure and good salary that exact for the whole family.

The experience of life is not only BTC. Education can also change fate. However, I also found that some people seem to be not suitable for the university, but will hinder them. It's just that this rarely happens.
In short, everyone's life trajectory is different. If you can, don't miss the university.

But while we are studying we are wasting our young age which can be invested on business to become rich very early.Most of the millionaires in this world don't have any graduates so it is not much important to become rich.

Yes, so I said that some people are not suitable for the university, and he may lose the opportunity to make a fortune. But this rarely happens.
My father didn't have a high degree, but he has been successful in business. Later it went bankrupt. After I graduated from college, I started business again with him. Now the economy has improved a lot.
So we never know what will happen and what kind of situation we will lead us to. Reading a university may make you lose something. Maybe not going to college, you will also be troubled by business failure.
Maybe we are not worth discussing whether the university is worth it. Because it is good or bad, only after you have experienced it will have your own answer.

If you are going to do business in future and have resources and capital to start it means then you can take business related course on university and get graduated but you need to  be a business man but you are studying a technical related course means you are just simply wasting your time.

yeah . I agree with you because knowledge is more important to live in this competition world to each and every person. but always a knowledge can't help peoples to take some right decisions.. I think the real experience is the best knowledge than what w
e gain knowledge from books.

Life isn't about hit the goal, is about enjoying the trip, so, of course, it worth it, is a great opportunity to learn and to make public relations, meet people who can open doors for you in the business world and all that stuff. Maybe the price is high, but if you don't want to pay for it you can move to a country with free college.

Don't pay 50k/100k for education. You don't need names like Stanford or Harvard in your CV. Just go to a regular college if you want to be a professional. But if you want to be an entrepreneur there is no need for college. But you've got to compensate that with ambition, confidence and ACTION!

Depends on where you live, in my side of europe, college is your "ticket" for job interviews.
Maybe not essential, but you'll be rejected a lot more often without that piece of paper called "diploma".
I'd advise only going there if you can afford it without going into debt, and if you're serious and disciplined enough to finish it.
Bitcoin's a bit of a gamble, "don't bet that which you're not prepared to lose" and all that.

I believe that if I had been born in the USA or in Europe I had fought to go to Harvard, it is a renowned university, of great prestige, the professionals of that university believe that they get work in any part of the world in a very simple way, because the letter of Harvard's presentation is well above average, but of course, it is best to study and get a diploma in any, because the important thing is to have that representative diploma that opens so many doors.

Bitcoin is not a replacement to college, as they are definitely to different things. Personally I don't think college is helpful anymore since mostly you will memorize things you will never use just to get a degree. College is helpful if you want to become an inginer, doctor, lawyer or something like that but otherwise it's useless.

Yes, definitely college is one of the best things that we can do in our life. Hodling bitcoin will be good investment but don't ever risk your education over bitcoin. Education first and you can follow up crypto while studying.

If you think only about money and wealth than college is not needed.
But, in my country, according to the law, college should also teach students about the general culture and also should give upbringing.
From this perspective, college is needed.

That is right don't relyto the crypto because better if we have education because we know crypto is still here. But education needs time and effort before you graduate. Im college student now but I can still workto the crypto because I have goal even it's hard incase I have project and test I will do still crypto because that's the reason why Im here in college because crypto that I earned I use it as allowance.

I do hesitate a regular teenager has enough money to invest in bitcoin! While there are special loans for education as a way out nobody will lend you money for a bitcoin, even parents who mostly believe in education. By they way will you be able not work rest of your life in those 3/5 years you hold bitcoin? I am not sure...

That question really made me think haha (i'm a college student). In my country, the university is free and I think it is still better to attend it than not. But when answering your question I'd say that id still go to school, because if you make a lot of money fast without knowledge you will end up loosing it.

You guys in your country are lucky for having free education. Unlike other countries, education on college isn't free and they can only afford it through loans which they'll pay once they are employed after graduation.

Advising people to invest after graduation would be a better choice than choose them to gamble when they are not even sure of what they'll be investing.

Generally speaking, yes.

A degree in Gender studies  Probably not worth it
A degree in Petroleum Engineering - Probably worth it

Yes. College is worth it. Why? Because if you are smart, you will borrow your way through college, and then cancel the debt... and then contact the credit bureaus to give yourself good credit again.

The ethics behind this doesn't seem to be good, and in the eyes of many people, isn't good. But that's simply because they don't know how bank "borrowing" really works. The way banks make new money is that they loan it into existence. See the article, below.

The article states it straight out. But then it runs all around the idea for good reason. Different countries do it different ways with different banks. And cancelling your debt (because there wasn't really any loan in the first place) might hurt you if you don't know how to do it right, and would mess up the whole money system if everybody started doing it.

EDIT: College loans aren't the only thing that can be cancelled. Any bank loan can be cancelled for this exact same reason. But, know what you are doing and how it works, and really, who you are. If you don't, you might get burned. Net search for Tom Schauf to find the details.

A teenager can actually spend less on education.
And spend less on altcoins.
The money can be divided

Finishing a college degree is an achievement and most parents want for their kids, because no one can take it away from you.

It's not a guarantee of having a successful life but it's a stepping stone to reach your goal.

After college that's the time to invest in crypto and for other opportunities out there.

Each person's success depends on his / her ability to succeed How talented he's for that task. you're right that crypto at school is where he will find his life goals you are doing not need to walk around disappointed in your next life. I feel it is a good idea to stay up with the tiny expenditure for 3/5 years because if he can finish his studies, he is going to be ready to make tons of profit by increasing the worth of Bitcoin and finding how to maneuver forward within the future.

study is still one of the most important part of living,in this we are assure of at least having a Job in future.

but sometimes our future is not only based in schools instead in business or  in investing .so it can be study or just invest in Bitcoin,depend on our faith as parents to what our children may face.

Does any college offer a course on the question of how beneficial college is? If they do, how expensive is the course?

 :D

It's good because in the end, you'll get a certification. Which depicts the level of education one has attained. Its necessary; but making money in or out of college is a different ball game.

I accept as true with you because a degree in Gender Studies can't be done immediately if we've to finish an engineering degree so as to urge around for employment then there's not much to try to to for the work. But without these if you've got already learned about crypto then you'll still do something.

When you go to the K thru 12th grade school, the main indoctrination is to sit at a desk. It is big business that directs school boards to make this happen for kids. Why do they do it? To promote the idea of sitting behind a desk for the rest of your life. When you get out of school and become an adult, the most practical thing that is ingrained into you is to sit behind a desk in an office so that you are slaving for big business. Your pay is peanuts.

College is simply the training of how to sit behind the desk and what to do. Even trade school training is part of the behind-the-desk training, no matter what the trade is.

Wanna have success in life? Learn entrepreneurship... which they mostly don't teach you in school. Then get out there and make the things happen that you want to happen. Why be a doctor, or accountant, or actuary, and earn $hundreds of thousands of dollars a year?... when you could be an entrepreneur earning $millions or $billions?

Look at Elon Musk for example.

It is an achievement but how about all the money spent in order to acquire the college degree?
Would you ever get them back?
And if you get a college degree and get a job in a firm then you are not going to have any time in order to invest in cryptocurrencies.

College is worth every young people to get more knowledge because they will get the way to think and how to solve the problem. Maybe that can make someone proud because he can achieve his dream by continuing his studies, so after he graduates, he can search for a job base on his degree. It depends on what people think about the knowledge that will get in the college because they can also get that by searching on the internet or another course, but they won't get a degree for that.

Like in investment you need a capital in order to earn. If you're a degree holder you can get a decent job with good salary unlike if you didnt finish your studies.

You can invest in crypto while working, but you need time management.

If it is year 2005 we are talking about, I would definitely advise to buy bitcoin and then hodl for 10 years.  ;D But time in between will be crucial, can probably work some jobs along the way while your bitcoin works for you at the same time. But of course, we are talking 100 btc here in 2005. Must be great!

I agree with you it would be great for us At present there is nothing to be done by studying so much money Baker's going to be frustrated like this If we buy Bitcoin with that money. Then I can make a lot of money after a certain amount of time There will be no problem with the job and it is worth all the things.

You would never advice anyone to buy such a portion of Bitcoins.
You say that because you already know where the price went in the future of 2005.
If it was 2005 you should probably tell a teenager to go to college because Bitcoin didn't exist back then!

If you were to hire an employee, which do you choose, with a college diploma or without a college diploma? I think it answers all your questions.

Next generation don't really need a degree to find a job, Google and Facebook are recruiting members based on skills where you don't need a graduation to apply for.You can learn everything from your home and work for any company in this internet era.SO its your choice whether you want to take college or study on your own.

I would recommend focusing not on money and material wealth, but on how you feel with your heart. If you feel that you like to engage in some activity (even if it’s a low-paying occupation), then do it. The world needs harmonious and enthusiastic people! This is how harmonious space is built.

It will depend on the job description. If the job needs people who have high skills in one field and a person who qualifies with the job, but he is only a high school graduate, I will accept him because I will need his skills to help me. Experience can be learned from time to time, but skills never lie. Sometimes, people who don't have a degree will be qualify than the person who has a degree in education.

well i really think that it all depends on your ability to crawl through life. if you think you can handle the business side of life, then i think you can forgo college and just focus on how to earn.

without a doubt education. always choose college before money. yes, you can make a lot of profit but that is just daydreaming. it's simple logic, where there are ppl who makes a lot of money really fast, there are even more ppl that lost a decent amount of money. what makes you think you will be the one who will gain so much? not to mention you will have to profit so much won't need education for the rest of your life. with proper knowledge you can make decent money each month and then invest if you still think that's smart to do.

There are so many free sources of knowledge out there.
If you don't think of becoming a professor then it is not worth to go to college and spend all that money.
Just keep it and invest them immediately on something you believe.

It is if you want to become a doctor or a lawyer, etc.

If it's not your case, invest this money in cryptocurrency, attend different courses to deepen your knowledge. It's gonna be much cheaper and faster.

However, I think you should go to college if you don't know what to do. 'Cause there is the place where I understood my own desires and needs.

College is definitely worth it and if you don't want to spend so much money on your education maybe just move to another country. There are plenty of countries with a decent public education system not charging a fortune for degrees.

But even taking out a loan to spend a luxury car on your college degrees can be worth it. The starting salaries after university is much higher than without any higher education. 

Also, don't forget the great parties during 4 years of university.

sure it worth it... it's something you will always have possibility to use

everyone's views will certainly be different for this...
for me college is very important, in my country, you can not get a job if only a high school graduate, it will be difficult for those who do not go to college to work, sound not fair but graduate from college is now a benchmark for a company to accept employees.

   i will go with the experienced applicants than those who have Diploma but has no big experiences in the field of work that needed.

I also applied to the position that is not in my course once and i fit the job.
Yeah College Diploma is always a weapon for future needed.

Definitely it will be changed, we may not need graduations to work on companies because skills plays major role for any recruitment and now unemployment rate gets increases on every country there will be new criteria follows by the companies to eliminate the candidates and for sure if you have experience it may be a negative for now because companies are not ready to pay huge salary for any job.

This post about is college worth it is a topic to be looked into. @coolbullsas (https://zaiitech.com/game/coolbullsas/)

I think that college and education are worth the effort and worth the effort, as it is the future for the young man, as he can, through college and education, secure a constant salary for him even when he becomes old while buying Bitcoin is a dangerous matter and it is likely not always successful

I had this debate before in my mind, and the fact college and education winned.
I think it is worth the effort and time, as some jobs sadly, really rely on having that education to ensure the amount of salary you get.

Yeah it's obvious that education is power, i will directly advice a child to dedicate he/her self in education in order to acquire knowledge,because a child without or a child that is not educated always have a deviates characters. Given a child capital to enroll into cryptoccurrency such bitcoin,the child can't utilized the capitals because of lack of understanding. So therefore I see education as a key to success.

College is worth it, however I do not view it as the finishing line but a starting point. It is the foundation of your career, and you should  continue building from it. So in other words to succeed in the market place you do not  have to rely solely on college certificate or degree, you need to go further.

I would suggest to only pursue college/university or other higher education only if you are truly passionate about it. If you only want a degree without any interest in the subject then it will become a pain for you so for second case you should skip college and look for lucrative crypto coins it will be better for you.

It's a very controversial question.I study at one of the 200 best universities in the world. Once upon a time, four years ago, a friend and I decided to study here. And the government pays for me and his education bill. Honestly, I doubt that even the time I spend on this will ever pay off. For the most part, learning is good because there are many peers like you, building social connections that you can then use to advance your career or create a project. If a child before college does not show any ability to something that brings money and has not yet started earning, I think it is worth helping him to choose a very stable profession, with which he will be able to get money even during the crisis and in different parts of the world (Europe, America, Asia, Africa). There is definitely no cryptic currency, they can fall down accidentally, and then, when you are 70-80 years old, your child will not be able to pay part of the bills, because he will work as a dishwasher and barely make ends meet. I'd rather give him a hands-on education in economics, so he can understand both micro and macro economics. Then he will be able to live quite well, in a spacious house and have enough for a vacation in Miami, in winter he will go to Switzerland, skiing, and after work he will not think to "smell" to forget it all, but to enjoy life together with his beautiful wife.

You don't need to spend a fortune to get a university degree. Instead of going to an ivy league school you can still get a degree from a decent university and save some money. Also you will have some spare time when going to university where you could learn more about crypto currencies and start trading from your dorm room. I would recommend anybos to get a higher degree. What are 3 years when you have to work for 35 years?

Buy bitcoin and hold them for3/5 years is good but college worth it. Yes, college tuition is rising. Yes, there's student loan debt. However, research from the Federal Reserve says that college is still a good investment. A college degree leads to premium earnings in the labor market compared to those without a college degree.

...but if he graduate at the bottom 25% of his class, he should drop out of college.

Well you have a point. Continue your studies if you like your course and you're determine to pursue it because thats your passion. However if you're studying without deeply interest to it, much better to take the path where you think you can excel.

Depends on where you are. In my city, college is free and I also have a scholarship. My advice is to recognize what you really want because not all jobs work with charisma alone, consider community colleges for technical vocational skills.

Graduate but has to drop out? you can't drop out if you have already graduated.

For college students and they are thinking of the same both. Why not buy and hold bitcoin while you are at college? you'll feel the fun having it and you don't have to be a day trader. You just have it on your wallet and leave while studying.

But the problem by most of them is where they should get the capital for buying. You all should be the one dealing with it.

I agree that with the current technology, you can basically learn a lot of things. However, getting a diploma is still different. You can work hard to earn that money for college but if you will be in deep debt, weigh your options first if it is really worth in your current situation. But for me, real education is still the best to combat the competition in the job market. No one can steal it from you.

I would advice him to go to College, be independent and then earn bitcoin or anything he wanted to do.

I thing education is everything you should do until 25y, you can do side things with bitcoin and altcoins too , but for me the education must be priority
