What is being told to people in High Schools about Bitcoin

[ivan.daineko23]

In my country, kids in High Schools were not taught about cryptocurrency, they are more focused on academics, history, Mathematics, Science, Home Economics, Carpentry etc.  Not a single word about bitcoins.  Even teachers are unaware of bitcoin. If someone known it, they think it is a scam or some multi level marketing product.

In countries badly broken children's education at a high level. Learn everything you can not even be found in life. Children grow comprehensively broken. Therefore bitcoin can also be implemented for the study.

In high school, its mean we want to tell about the bitcoin for the student, Personally, i don't think that it is good idea, because if you ask about college or university than may be i am agree with you, but in school, it is suitable place for bitcoin, because in school life it is not a age of earning, so it is wasting our time, But in one point i am agree with you, and it is that we should do something for publicity of bitcoin.   

If we study the modern economy and the financial market in the world, make sure you will be dealt with questions about bitcoin. That's for sure.

In good institutions must teach it all. The fact is that most people have the correct information about bitcoin cryptocurrency and all of sources in their institution.

The school curriculum is already crowded and the children of that already do not want to teach. We must choose a category for the age when you can include the study of bitcoin for children. It is not so simple as it seems. It is necessary to study pedagogy.

Analyzing the statements of that teacher, it seems evident that his reasonings are based exclusively based on prejudices of the classic economy, without valid arguments of who knows this ecosystem in a minimal way.

So I think trying to convince these foolish people is just a waste of time, despite their university degree.

bitcoin birth just a few years ago does not allow the old teachers to talk about the modern technologies at a decent level. Perhaps they still do not understand what is bitcoin.

[deadpoolx]

I think most institutions would rather not comment on that. One reason is that few people have knowledge about cryptocurrencies, another factor is that this goes against the interests of centralized institutions.
The good news is that nowadays people have access to the internet with ease, so there are no excuses not to learn about it.

Ignorant professor, he just shared his opinion about something he doesn`t know nothing about. Professors should have some responsibility, if they don`t know something, they need to learn about it and only then to teach young people and discuss with them about it.

I think they are just basing on the book they are not actually know about bitcoin they are just relaying in the book that i think it is from government made. they know bitcoins before as use for illegal activities but they do not really know about bitcoin.. for now they are just learning it and someday someone who are study there if actually knows about bitcoin they can clear their minds what is the true benefits of bitcoin..

Five days ago, a friend of mine studying Economics at High School had a discussion with its teacher, regarding Bitcoin, since I told her about that. Here's what the teacher said :

1. That's illegal : He did not bring many proves here, just saying that since it has not been regulated as a currency, we were in a grey area, and something in a grey area is rarely something that will become totally white from one day to another. He added that the sole purpose of that was to buy all kind of drugs over the Internet.

2. It will crash : He said that he had studied Bitcoin's price evolution throught the time (what I doubt) and said her that being so constantly rising was a sign that it was not a viable project. Its proof : manipulated prices of things like silver or wheat are very stable !

3. Anyone clear in its head wouldn't use it : First, he doesn't recognise any kind of manipulation of the money and the danger that there is for people keeping all their savings in fiat. I know that because I had him as a teacher too some times ago. So trying to explaining him about the fact that there is a clear war against cash and evident facts, like that that shows our money need to be converted into something viable to be protected from massive surveillance, is useless. Him not understanding that, since its the best argument I have, I couldn't have replied. When she told him about the speed of transactions, he replied "we have PayPal", so I said me that it wasn't worth to ever try explaining anything. As a final point, he said again that the sole real use that is making standing apart is that you can buy drugs on the Internet...

4. Bitcoin at a bigger scale would fail : I couldn't explain you much what he said because what she told me wasn't very clear so I personnally did not understood, as her I presume how confuse her explaination was. To summarize, he said that it's still a little market and that it will fail to scale and will go back to close to nothing in value.


The teacher in the first place has a positive response into bitcoin and glad to hear that teacher is one new bitcoin enthusiast, but the things which is not good is I think teacher was mis-informed about in bitcoin matter.

I'd like to get your feelings on that. Just call the arguments 1, 2, 3 and 4 and tell me what you would have replied back and what it does inspire you !

That teacher deserves douch of the year awards.
What a loser. I hope this is going to change soon because as bitcoin gets bigger more and more kids are going to need to be taught about it and blockchian.

1. "That is an unregulated currency, therefore that's illegal!"
2. "Imagine a ball thrown in the air, at first it will go high but then eventually it will crash. That's the same logic that bitcoin has."
3. "Use bitcoins? No! That's for crazy people. I'm a normal one so I use Paypal.. But then again you've given me a valid argument so I'm going to use my previous 'Bitcoin is used for drugs' reason for this one."
4. "Bitcoin would fail, okay? No more questions asked, Jimmy! I don't really understand why so I would just keep talking. I don't care if you guys don't understand because I don't so just listen and believe me. M-kay?"

But seriously though, I think the teacher was kind of right with number two. No matter what product, currency or whatever that is, that's doomed to have an end. Maybe other things are meant to crash sooner than most, but everything will crash eventually. Although I also believe that the teacher only did look at the bitcoin chart somewhere and then analyzed it.

Just yesterday I was reading on the forum that some business school is created a new subject about bitcoin for their students. Just I forgot in what country that was exactly. I think it's wise to teach new generation of businessmen about bitcoin. Cause of bitcoin may be successful for some of them in future.

[claricia25]

Well,that's what's the mainstream media and society is about.It will always present the things not in the right order and we experience that every day all around us.That's why we are the people that should represent BTC in a positive light Prêt bancaire.We should be the ones spreading the positives about BTC and only then more people will start actually associating BTC with positives.

Ce serait cool aussi si nous avions un forum dédié en français n'est ce pas.

It is clear that the teacher doesn't have a depth understanding of the topic but what really intrigues me is  how can a teacher discuss a one sided topic  . A teacher must discuss it without bias and prejudice . It is most likely that bitcoin will have a bad impression to the students even though they dont know it well

How long ago did you finish school yourself?

Teachers are the most stubborn types that you may ever meet out there. They may start claiming whatever bullshit, and they will never admit being wrong on that even if they themselves eventually understand what drivel they are spouting. They seemingly fail to understand how ridiculous their attempts at saving face look. Just in case, I've met a few such types here, and some of them are obviously still teaching or had been teaching in the past

I agree to much ego i guess.  And since they think that student are far inferior to their knowledge, they can talk any bullshit and pretend that it is the fact which if researched and study brings no relevance to what they are describing.  I wonder when will this teacher just tell their student that they don't know rather than creating fact based in their opinion.

Teachers can get away with it because now what is taught at schools is how to be a good sheep, as soon as you open your mouth and question something teachers will try to shut you up with their authority and if you don't give up you are labeled as a trouble maker.

in my situation ive never heard about that bitcoin is scam , when i was first in BTC world ive started at earning satoshis and they were never told me that BTC was scam

[dukeneptun]

Do you plan on going into school with her next time and sitting the teacher down for a one on one. Maybe bring this thread with you too andd give the tqeacher some reading material for homework.
Douche teacher.
Still think he should get the douche award of the year.

That really happens on which those teachers will always treat themselves as superiors among others and their opinions are mostly correct and if someone would really want to argue then its better to prepare yourself since you will be doomed for sure. Im not generalizing all teachers but its part of reality on most of them. I dont really agree with those points regarding bitcoin and there all opposite.

Well, you gotta explore/socialize more. Try introducing bitcoins to your friends and you'll be shocked at their reaction. Almost everyone thinks that their superior amongst other people.

While you're talking about bitcoins, your friends will ask you if it's actually legit and if it's not a scam. Regardless of your answer, your friends would be thinking "Look at this guy. He thinks he's so cool and he's earning money but I'm sure that whatever he's doing it's a scam. It's done online and I'm sure just like all the other things that involve money online, it's also a scam. Haha."

These haters know nothing about bitcoin and probably did very little research just to sound smart when someone brings up the bitcoin topic.

Yeah incident like that maybe can happen, because so many people not believe. But not everyone (students high school) will give reaction like that. All depends on situation and culture on society every country have different cultures. I am know bitcoin from my friend and i haven't mind set that bitcoin is scam and my friend is lie to me because he give me a proof. So i think proof is very important about this way.
