EDUCATING PEOPLE ABOUT CRYPTOCURRENCY

[paparexon0414]

I believe that this statement is true. Some people will take advantage of the ignorance of others just to gain benefit from them. If right information will be given to those who are interested, many will avoid this unfateful circumstances. Better to read and study first the basic and sooner or later we can advance to a more deeper understanding in cryptos. In this way, we can be more productive and effective trader and investors of this cryptos.

Everyone finds what they want after some affords, which can be a lot sometimes. When I found bitcoin, even 99% of people in my country didn't know what it was. Even now, most of them says it's scam lol, I can't stop laugh, they don't know what an amazing thing this shit is. This coin changed life of a lot of people in a good way.
I only agree bitcoin education in universities where people study economics and business administration, management and it's related subjects.

    If you take an assessment, a lot of citizens are not yet informative what is cryptocurrency is....like bitcoin and other altcoins. One proof is that others can be deceived by swindlers because of lack of knowledge regarding crypto currencies. . They invest with the wrong people because of considering in unfounded information and hearsays.
   Educating people regarding crypto will not make them to mislead. Educators can teach about crypto inside school especially in economic subject/s because it has a big role nowadays.
    As Tom Emmer stated, “ People tend to fear what they don’t know. If people sailing the oceans at the time of Columbus had believed the world is flat, we wouldn’t have had the great discoveries of the New World.”

There are tons of articles on the Internet, forums, YouTube videos and Telegram groups describing what crypto is and assisting to get the basics of crypto investing and trading. If one experiences the lack of knowledge in this sphere, why couldn't he just google the necessary info and make at least a primitive analysis of what he learnt? Or course, I do support the introduction of specialized crypto-related subjects at schools and universities, but we should remember that all the necessary information already floats and awaits for us around the Internet.

A good idea that we should educate people about crypto currency and i think that many of the news announced that bitcoin starting in universities in the courses but if we direct educate them i think it is a little bit easy like we can convince our friends and relatives very easily and in a short time so that we can guide them that how they can come into the crypto world.

Distinguishing feature of cryptocurrencies is that this assets are open source, good described and have open communities. So everyone can get maximum information about.

[Gary Levanevskii]

I will wring out that more and more of my sigmers are beginning to be interested in cryptocurrencies and raiding I think that it is not so easy to explain to a person how to behave with cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin.

Yes, I think to educate cryptocurrency is not required to start at the university, because basic knowledge about cryptocurrency can be found easily on the internet, but if there is a university that provides a curriculum about cryptocurrency it will also have a very positive impact. If someone has knowledge about IT, hardware etc. it will really help to make it easier to get to know the blockchain system, so there are many bases that will actually make it easier for many people to know cryptocurrency if they have strong desires and want to learn more and more on the internet. by reading lots of articles, videos etc.

Sometimes we need to study everything before we action to anything. Like In crypto before you invest you need to study and learn about crypto so you can have knowledge about you doing and to not perish. Because in crypto there's so many greedy person and fraudsters always use your wise mind.

[BigBrother]

I think it would be very useful for people. Many people no one can give advice about investing and they can make rash actions, which then regret. Therefore, you need to teach them at least some basics, so they understand how it works.

[denzkilim]

There are already emerging some master degree in universities where you can learn about the crypto world, the Blockchain technology and so.
But, I'm afraid many people are based on a misunderstood principle while approaching the crypto world. I mean, since the last December hype, there is a common idea: you can get rich fast (and furiously) by buying some crypto. This also has led some students to ask for loans in order to get into the crypto world. This is completely wrong, for many of them are going to lose their money.
I think the first step we need to accomplish is related to erasing the idea of the crypto world as a fast way to earn money, for this is completely wrong and is making people to commit many mistakes.
Sadly, few are truly interested in the whole system behind this new technology, and that's the biggest problem. You just need to take a look at the Begginers&help section in here: most of the newbies are not asking about learning or understanding the crypto technology, but about how to earn some money here (beg for merits is the same, from my point of view). So, to be honest, I see few people really interested in the technology itself, but on the possibility of making some money.
Now, the technology is not only about earning but about creating a whole new tech system of money, in which people get to be free of banks and the current economic system. This is huge in the sense of human evolution, but, sadly, humans seem to have no interest in it.

For those who are truly interested in learning, in making a research, there are already many useful contents, not only on the internet but also in Universities. But trying to educate those who are not willing to learn seems almost impossible to me.

I admit that is true, most of the people that are now part of this crypto space are having a heart fueled by greed with the hope of getting rich on a short period of time using or investing in Crypto Currencies and most of this people thinks that Crypto Currencies are magic tools that can make a lot of money in an instant and this is wrong. Probably most of this people are fed by the wrong information by other people at the time that Bitcoin is skyrocketing in late 2017 and early 2018, this is that the hype about Crypto Currencies are very intense and a lot of investors without any knowledge or a few amounts of knowledge in this industry dived in with the intention to make a lot of folds from their money. "FUD" and "FOMO" are part of this industry and this is a strategy that most of the whales do to gain a lot of profit in a very evil way.
I hope a day will come when most of the people that circulate in the crypto space are here for the technology of this innovation and not only here to make folds of money, I know this is some kind of impossible happen but who knows what it might end up. 

[slasher0489]

Not only the cryptocurrency itself but also the blockchain technology, it's the new trend in our technology now, if we educate and spread these kind of good news to grow our technology and future, more people will become interested

[saumang2m]

Crypto currency is the popular currency for many people. And if we explain or educate people about crypto currency. So we all will benefit from this. And more and more people will join the crypto market.

The main question is, is it really necessary to teach all people what bitcoin and blockchain are? Not in my opinion. The topic of cryptocurrency is quite narrow and people come to it when they are ready and they have enough intelligence to study the issue and start participating. The rest should remain service personnel. So it was and will always be. No need to force and train anyone. This is totally wrong.

True, cryptocurrencies are not for everyone, there are many people that can barely use a computer so they are not really qualified to use something like bitcoin, even if bitcoin seems easy to us that does not mean that most people are going to have the same impression and it is likely that if they try to use bitcoin they are going to lose their money to hackers or scammers.

[thankyoulord]

it is true bitcoin has gotten to so many places in the world but it is also true there are so many people who till date havent heard about bitcoin. some have even heard but dont fully understand the use of cryptocurrency and blockchain. we should do our part to educate all we know aout cryptocurrency and the use of blockchain technology

[Rooster101]

Even in my country, only few people knew about cryptocurrencies if you compare it to the majority of the people who are not yet informed on the new kind of currency that is circulating only in the internet. On educating people about the virtual currency, I think, we should only educate people who are open-minded and willing to listen. Cryptocurrency is not like fiat and it is one of the riskiest currency ever created by man so it is important to teach only those people who are open to new kind of money.

[bchain22]

I think it is extremely important to educate people about cryptocurrencies. And not only about crypto, but also blockchain. It is a technology of the future and it is best for people to know about these type of things. So, they can start using it, be early adopters and benefit from that.

Great book to start learning, for example, is this one. Have read it twice and it is well written in easy language. https://www.amazon.com/Crypto-Blockchain-Beginners-Savii-Digital/dp/9949727901/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1533223282&sr=8-1&keywords=savii+digital

Yes, that's true, only for people who are open-minded about the development of the digital world today, because for people who don't open their minds, we will find it difficult to provide education about Bitcoin. I realized that in my place there were still many people who didn't want to know what digital money was. They are only busy with their real work without wanting to open their minds to find out the progress of the times.

[aryaadikariyansyahsuwarto]

That is what makes bitcoin until now still not stable in popularity, because there are still many people who do not really understand the world of cryptocurrency. At least we who have already known that we should give a little education to our friends around us, that is the beginning of the next step ... !!

[Cryptuenza]

By the way lots of universities are implementing crypto in their educational program.

Yes you are right, in some countries like Germany and Swiss the blockchain technology and economy are already the subject of study. These countries understood in time, how important is the blockchain for the country development and they are already trying to use that in the real life.

there is no such thing as "neutral" education about cryptocurrency, each cryptoissuer is supposed to take responsibility for his own cryptocurrency
