Cryptocurrency to be Taught in Schools?

[WhiteShum]

How do you imagine? There are no such subjects as programming in schools, and you are talking about cryptocurrency.

[Thyristor]

Cryptocurrency is not major important part of in school life because it is totally different motive of our children. It is not expected to added in any academic level courses. How to you learned it's your individual matter, of course you have to apply another way or you can learned from google.

I think its a good idea to have people learn about Crypto Currency in School or College. If I am not wrong there is a Brazilian university which is offering Diploma in Cryptocurrency. With the mass adoption and popularity that this platform is gaining, I think a basic education about how Blockchain functions and why it can do will change society for betterment.

Hi guys!
I'm pretty sure that many of you have been experiencing difficulty on making other people aware of cryptocurrency and how it works, right? I myself find it hard to explain it even to my own family. Once you mention it to them, the first thing that comes to their mind is that it's a scam. Can't blame them though because the news about crypto scams are always hyped in social media and believe me, even my 70 year old mom has Facebook!

Anyway, I realized that this is the case because there has never really been any formal education about it at all. We knew about it only thru word of the mouth right and we only got to learn it slowly thru experience. This said, I'm thinking, what if it's taught in schools? Perhaps just start with those taking Accountancy or Banking and Finance courses to begin with, then eventually incorporate it to Mathematics subject or whatever in High School? After all, they were able to do that with banking, right? Why not with cryptocurrency? What do you think?

Well yes definitely. Crypto should be taught in school to increase earnings of students. It is good that they know about the medium which has great coins like PRG, ADA and NEO.

Virtual currency is now going around the world. And it functions successfully. Therefore, I think it would not be superfluous to find out for the younger generation about its capabilities. So, that light theory in school will only be a subject of interest.

[Violettochka]

I don't think that kids will have any interest for this subject, as for me it is not easy to teach that in school,even for high school that may be too tough.

I certainly can't imagine it now. A cryptocurrency is its owners do not understand everything, but here you want the students to teach her the basics. Something unreal. 

[Nellayar]

I think it is common that cryptocurrency will become part of the lesson to be discussed inside the classroom. In fact, I will use some of my knowledge and skills that I learned in cryptocurrency if ever, I will teach this second semester. I think it will boost the understanding of the students on how cryptocurrency plays in our daily life.

It's pretty funny to read it. Have you people even closed your eyes? What training cryptocurrency in school? Only if it's in history class.

[nagobinga]

I have never seen anyone teach about bitcoin at school but must be careful to teach it can cause us to be arrested because this is illegal in some countries.

[Amalker]

I don't know about schools, but many institutes already teach about blockchain technology and programming.

[RohitMalhotra123]

In some countries cryptocurrency is legal and some institutions are opened to teach the students about block chain and cryptocurrency, But in coming years we hope cryptocurrency is legal in all countries and after this it is compulsory in schools as a subject because coming time is a digital time.

[laredo7mm]

It's not cryptocurrency but blockchain is likely to be taught while bitcoin etc cryptocurrency will be a history because actually the development of cryptocurrency is on the blockchain not in bitcoin

[Aneuk cabang]

of course that is a very good breakthrough if it is applied in the school world.
but of course this requires a very long process to be applied widely, examples of several cases of open application are still very difficult to understand, while with some education seminars on crypto in several countries, and even then it is still passively disseminated.

[SilverCup08]

The more I read that already in some schools are taught by cryptocurrency.

Really? I had no idea that cryptocurrency is already being taught in schools. I was thinking it was my original idea and is not being done yet. Can you please tell which schools are those and in which countries? Are they already part of the curriculum or they just kinda discuss about it in short details?

[SilverCup08]

of course that is a very good breakthrough if it is applied in the school world.
but of course this requires a very long process to be applied widely, examples of several cases of open application are still very difficult to understand, while with some education seminars on crypto in several countries, and even then it is still passively disseminated.

That's right, it will be a major breakthrough both for the schools but most especially to the cryptocurrency industry but I do agree with you that it's very difficult to understand so all the more reasons that it should be taught in schools or even just in seminars. I think those who are already experts here should contribute in creating a module that will make it understandable for everyone.

[SilverCup08]

In some countries cryptocurrency is legal and some institutions are opened to teach the students about block chain and cryptocurrency, But in coming years we hope cryptocurrency is legal in all countries and after this it is compulsory in schools as a subject because coming time is a digital time.

Oh really? Which countries are those? Have they started teaching cryptocurrencies in school or is it just a proposal so far? Yes, I agree. It's best to accept it all over the world and start teaching it in schools because I think in 20 to 30 years from now, the world will become completely digital already.

[SilverCup08]

I don't know about schools, but many institutes already teach about blockchain technology and programming.

Oh good to know that! I had no idea. Which institutes are those and which countries please? It's such a great job for teaching cryptocurrencies in those institutes. Their students are lucky to learn it as early as now so that when the digital age comes, they are already fully prepared.

[raden1922]

After I observed, according to my observation, private cryptocurrency will develop with the development of time and technology. Even though it doesn't have to be taught at school starting at the base it, will continue to develop.

[SilverCup08]

I think it is common that cryptocurrency will become part of the lesson to be discussed inside the classroom. In fact, I will use some of my knowledge and skills that I learned in cryptocurrency if ever, I will teach this second semester. I think it will boost the understanding of the students on how cryptocurrency plays in our daily life.

Oh you're a teacher? That is actually such a great idea if you plan to teach cryptocurrencies to your students. I think there should be more people like you wants to share your knowledge about it in a more formal setting. I hope someday, the others will do the same. May your tribe increase my friend.
