I think studying bitcoin will cause more trust and interest in him. In our country, many do not know about bitcoin or doubt to contact him. This will teach how to use bitcoin and dispel all doubts.
You are right studying about bitcoin will cause many people can take more interest in bitcoin and also teach that how to use bitcoin and how to earn money from bitcoin through investment, trading or etc and if they know about this facilities that bitcoin provide earning opportunity for us. So they take more and more interest in bitcoin and using them.

Funny, I took a course in econometrics in 2009 just as bitcoin was coming onto the scene.   It was actually the last college course I took.  Definitely no mention of bitcoin then, but I'm sure somewhere in the thousands of courses being taught that btc is being mentioned.   It's too big not to be at this point.  I hear kids are even using laptops in class nowadays.   Lol
That would be great if they teach it in the economy class. It is our future and if that happen all of our dreams about the rising of bitcoins will come true. They can promote it in the future generations for them to know how wonderful bitcoins are.

There are some schools out there that accepts Bitcoin as payment for the tuition fees of the students but there is no guarantee than economics classes are teaching or having a discussion about Bitcoin. It is possible that they touched Bitcoin when they are discussing about monetary system and the revolution of money. From barter system to golds and silvers to fiat and currency and to digital currency. It is possible that Bitcoin is mentioned but it has a very low probability.

If ever Bitcoin is discussed in class then it would be very nice for Bitcoin's publicity.

If bitcoin is discussed in class it is a good publicity as students are the future,it can be a topic in technical based courses too as the technology behind bitcoin is far superior than we have seen ,either way it is good for the publicity of bitcoin.

In Economic 101 we didn’t talk about economics, enough said, so it is really doubtful that students think of economics when they talk about bitcoins especially since governments don’ t want to promote bitcoins.

As I remember way back 2015, One of my prof in economics do share something about cryptocurrencies but just an overview what it is and how do this Bitcoin entered the market w/o noticing by a vast majority people. Where He also planned to include this topic on next year's curriculum. Well I think it would be beneficial especially to those who are majoring in Economics and Trading/Investment and somehow for those who are taking business courses.

Yes there  is talking about bitcoin it is a economic class because in bitcoin can we have a success in life.
If we have a knowledge about bitcoin you can earn money if you want so we can buy our need by the use of bitcoin so if we are talking bitcoin it is a economics discussion.

It is doubtful bitcoin is ever going to be taught at school governments have control over what is taught there, and I’m sure governments are going to resist any attempt to try to bring bitcoin to the general public attention or people may wake up to the fiat scam they run.

It would be nice like an intro or big characteristics of it, there's no need to introduce the whole deal into a class. But it's a good idea.

I am not sure if they are talking about Bitcoin in the basic economics class, but B schools are showing interest. There are separate electives relating to Bitcoin / blockchain in some of the leading business schools.

I've taken four different economics courses in the university and they have never talked about bitcoin. This was between 2009 and 2013 as the time line. We're missing the chance of spreading bitcoin to crowds by the way.

I have taken basic courses on Economics on the University as Economics was not my branch of study. However bitcoin was never mentioned there and all I remember from it was comparing different basket of products , opportunistic cost and stuff like this. It would very good for bitcoin if it were to be mentioned in such classes and to explain where it differs compared to standard fiat money.

Since i was not an economics student, i dont know if there was a class for investing in schools, I think the colleges should be teaching students on how to be investors and entrepreneurs in the modern world and on how to realize opportunities to become rich.

It's great to study bitcoins economics but to correlate it with classical economics is just so far fetched. Yes, it follows the basic rule of supply and demand, but that's just about it. Also, i've discussed bitcoins with a few of my economics professor in college and just think that bitcoin is just another ponzi scam that floats around and will eventually disappear like most MLMs today.

Not really, because bitcoin is not fully recognized by every nation, that's why everyone is not familiar with it. It also may cause confusion to the faculties and students due to sudden adjustments to the syllabus. But it may be interesting if they added bitcoin to economic class.

Well am yet to see an academic institutions that will introduce bitcoin as part of their course work or their educational curriculum, even as at the time I was in the college studying economics it was not part of our courses but if introduced it will go a long way in helping more people to gain knowledge about crypto currency.

It will surely help out for adoption to increase even more since its been already teached and been included on the curriculum the main concern here is that those department of education would really consider this stuff? Knowing that they are on pro-government rules which they would really need an approval on it and thinking off that not all governments do really like bitcoin therefore chances would be somehow 50-50 if it would be implemented or not.

No, maybe in few years. Still not that crucial, it's all about time.

Yes maybe in few years. Teachers cant teach something if the lesson is not in the curriculum.
Maybe when the government implement that curriculum then that would be the start of something new in the crypto world.

Basically the bitcoin value is exactly the same as the economic lesson, but I've never heard of a university in my country being able to incorporate curriculum lessons about bitcoin. This is because its existence has not been widely known by the general public. Maybe someday if bitcoin is widely known, colleges can provide curriculum about bitcoin.

Bitcoins enter the economy class that will support the economy. Where students will make theses on cryptocurrency. So have to do a survey for his master thesis
