Bitcoin in Economics class?

[gueorguiev]

Schools are always teaching programme which is approved by the government. If you know that the government does not recognize the crypto currency. Why then include it in the curriculum. But this is not a problem. If a person is interested in this you will always find information on the Internet.

School dont have to wait for government approval to teach courses. There are certain standards that many school have to meet, but most colleges and universities are privately owned and courses are chosen by the school boards. Cryptocurrency courses can be easily implemented if enough interest and initiative is shown by the students. The only issue I see is determining what criteria to judge someone under to determine if they knowledgeable enough to teach a class about the subject.

Maybe the old world fears bitcoin.


Old article, but a good short read:

I'm sure that bitcoin and crypto-assets are hot now in every university and some schools

You correctly noticed that this is only in some universities and schools. The fact is that it turns out a very narrow circle of people. And for general education, even our teachers do not have enough professors in this field.

Do you think they are talking about bitcoin in your basic ECON class?

Definitely, Bitcoin is being mentioned in some business courses. I am sure some schools have adjusted their curriculum to accommodate the cryptocurrency as a whole.snd not just Bitcoin alone. Honestly, it will be a good thing if more countries adopt Bitcoin into their financial system...

There's a lot of anti-capitalist, pro-socialist, propaganda taught in economics classrooms these days.

If bitcoin was covered in classrooms, it would likely parallel the anti crypto propaganda stance portrayed by the media.

Education might have been about learning, knowledge and facts once. Those days are gone. Education doesn't function as anything more than mind control in most cases.

There are certainly a few number of universities who does that however we still don't know if the matter is one sided or not. what i have observed is people who lacks knowledge

about bitcoin or cryptos tend to think negatively about it resulting to a one sided discussion. the teachers here in my country mainly follows what the books or curriculum that the

department of education gives so i doubt they'll mention bitcoin as it is not there.

Here in my school they didn't know about the bitcoin even the teachers have no idea I think bitcoin is not that popular yet here in our country because base in the statistics the bitcoin user here are only ranging from 500 thousands but our total population is 100 million so I think maybe few years more for the bitcoin became well known here.

Where from this statistics of 500 thousand? If it's indeed true then the number is even commendable and these people can easily get the others in the known rather quick if they decide to. I think there might be universities in your country where they must have mentioned Bitcoin one way or the other without you knowing about because it can never be excluded from our present day economics classes. Just as commodities on the stock exchange are taught in those classes there's no way they'd mention other commodities like gold, silver etc. without Bitcoin.

I think in the future bitcoin will soon be of importance in the market economy. And it can be put into a class that teaches students to get a better view of bitcoin so they can see that bitcoin will be a part of our future.

I don't think bitcoin is part of Economics class here in our country because bitcoin is still not that popular in my country though there are already plenty of people who know about it but not really familiar what is bitcoin and what kind of technology is it.

Yeah right, I do not know especially in my country in economy class that discuss bitcoin. I agree with your reason that bitcoin is still unpopular so bitcoin taught in economy class is impossible. But I'm sure there are some countries that teach bitcoin or at least discuss it in the discussion. Maybe someday if bitcoin is popular and known to many people in the world making it possible to use learning in economy class.

It is hard to expect bitcoin to be a part of the economic curriculum this soon,yes it is a billion dollar technology but normally it would take a long time to get the changes to a curriculum ,but students can conduct symposium ,take it as a summer project and so on and you might even do a thesis regarding it if you are planning for further studies or a doctorate .

I think that this is a wonderful idea with the help of which will teach how to use not only bitcoin, but also other crypto-currencies. This will make people more financially literate.

Schools can not do everything, I suppose if that were so, i.e. that subject would rather enter university level upwards, I think it is still still in the experimental phase whose scope cann´t yet be defined, I also suppose that education in each country is something different, what I want to say is that I think that in some countries it is more subject to speak than in others for different reasons that I would not have to discuss, and under that premise it could be that in certain countries that subject was already addressed in certain subjects of economics classes.

If you are in a socialist country, then the economics classroom is likely to teach anti-capitalist, pro-socialist, propaganda.

If you've ever seen the term globalist used in economics or political discussion.

Globalist implies anti-capitalist, pro-socialist, propaganda being pushed on a global scale.

Many globalists are secretly members of the communist party. They're the ones who hate america and want to see it destroyed, they resent the sight of the american flag as its a symbol of capitalism and freedom.

Not too long waiting for everyone to know Bitcoin. With a high price everyone will realize the power of Bitcoin. Maybe 2 years into the future everyone will know Bitcoin. One of them with the case of ransomware, the public became curious what is Bitcoin.

[Ammigo13]

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.

What is this, the 1960s? Is communism-scare still a thing in the US?
