Prince Filip of Serbia encourages the inclusion of Bitcoin education in schools.

It's no news of the widespread reach of Bitcoin and how the knowledge of it is slowly creeping into the nooks and crannies of the world. Leaders around the world are calling for the inclusion of Bitcoin study into the curricula of students and the ruler of Serbia is no different.

This is going to make a good difference in the lives of the young ones as they are going, the present generation look into building the future leaders of tomorrow from our children's active engagement in cryptocurrency and bitcoin to be precise, there are subjects that requires the expanding knowledge in financial economy and when taught well in school, it will help picture the real benefit and areas of application for it use as bitcoin remains a solution to the financial economy and a solution to global fiat currency challenges everywhere.

As you said bitcoin is computer technology, while knowledge about information technology is introduced quite early from elementary school, so why wait until the children go to university to start teaching them? I think bitcoin should be included in the high school curriculum, then they already have enough basic knowledge of the technology and they can continue to explore a more advanced technology.

I don't think the kids will see the advantages of Bitcoin unless they are first taught how fiat currencies work, how fiat money comes into existence, what the Federal Reserve does and what it is (for those who live in the States), how printed paper money is debt, why money losses value long term, etc. You first present the problem, explain why it is a problem, and then you offer an alternative solution. In this case, Bitcoin. If the young minds don't see a problem, and they won't because financial education is not in the curriculum, they won't understand the issues that bitcoin is trying to fix.

is there a way that more Bitcoin related hubs and villages can be built borrowing a leaf from El Salvador to help a better spread of

El Salvador as a country has already legalized bitcoin, bitcoin is a Legal tender in El Salvador, so bitcoin projects, hubs or villages may work there without any problems, bitcoin hubs or villages may not be a total success in El Svador for example, but it can be tried out because the government would not oppose it or be against it as they have already legalized bitcoin from the top. The question now is how many countries have taken that step about bitcoin, just two, and there are also a few countries that are bitcoin friendly even without making it a legal tender. So building what you mentioned will be difficult in most countries because it needs the approval of the government, and since many of them don't like bitcoin, getting an approval from them for such projects may be difficult and frustrating.

If people would truely understand fiat money, they'd use Bitcoin!

Right. Financial education as a whole is not taught enough in schools and many people are unaware how money works, besides earning and spending. Mandatory financial education will make people understand why they need alternative assets which hold value, such as Bitcoin. (Although Bitcoin does one better by functioning as a payment alternative).

The reality is not everyone would be interested in Bitcoin or keen to use it, it doesn't have to be imposed on kids, if they do not care for it. Financial education on the other hand is pivotal to everyone.

And if they don't like it, that's to them own detriments. Financial Education and History of Money should be a must in schools. Money that's all rotated back to the government ? Purely wickedness.
Gradually when people see that in the history of money Bitcoin is arguably the best and sound money. The change will come gradually ( Certain )

When one is part of a problem, he cannot bring change or solve the problem. Government's should have placed laws to back Bitcoin,financial literacy and Education but they're part of the problem and cannot bring a solution to this. They champion the drawback to Bitcoins growth since they are huge beneficiaries.

In very few countries kids were taught well about basics of accounting and economics. As said without knowing the process involved with the paper currency printing to the end user it is unable to understand the value of bitcoin and its working through school education. A curriculum or a chapter starting from batter system to the present cryptocurrency, and further briefing bitcoin will make this effective.

The man is pretty influential so I guess his voice means something to a lot of people in his country. Academic institutions who have heard of his opinion might consider looking into the possibility of integrating Bitcoin-related courses.

Doesn't mean that he knows what he is talking about, I think that the opinions of teachers or educators should be the opinions that would matter, unless Prince Filip is an educator himself then I have no qualms with what he's saying. To me, bitcoin is an advance topic and there should be some sort of foundation before getting into it to understand the lingo.

Yeah, but I guess the prince won't recommend Bitcoin to be included in their schools' education if he's clueless about it. Although he is more into finance, there must be a reason why the man is convinced of the potential of Bitcoin and wanted the youngsters of the country to formally learn about it.

But my point is that plain influence plays a big role. It could at least start the ball rolling. He's the prince. As a matter of fact, a popular actor could convince more about something than somebody who really knows about it. We are in an age when even serious advocacies on climate change and poverty and justice and human rights and otherwise are to be pitched by the likes of Caprio and Clooney and Jolie and Bono and Watson.
