Learning crypto in universities

[Sicithdeve]

While everybody  is so unhappy about Ethereum, I think we can distract for a while as long as we can not change the situation, all we can do is wait. So let's wait with some usefulness. What do you think about the possibility of learning cryptocurrency world in the universities, in some financial departments, for instance? I think it is possible in the future as cryptocurrency is slowly becoming a huge part of our lives and it is silly to deny the fact that we will have to deal with crypto sooner or later. So why not to found some sort of cryptocurrency school at first and then we do can make a whole department in the university. What subjects would you like to teach or would you like to learn? Would such things be useful and popular amount young and middle aged students? Maybe even the aged will find the attention here, why not, usually they have a lot of time and pensions are not good enough I think.

mate , there are already some universities provide some courses about the blockchain technology as it will dominate in future

[Aiberg]

If we are being honest with ourselves, Ethereum co tributes to the widespread of Cryptocurrencies, it enabled more people know about it because if not for Ethereum, most ICOs would never exist and most people who joined crypto because of ICOs would not be here now.
But if I was opportunity to learn about Cryptocurrencies in a university, I would like to learn about Smart Contracts and how to build decentralised apps on Blockchains, this would be so cool.

[Yaunfitda]

Crypto? I don't this is a good idea. Perhaps crypto good be a good discussions in economic class, like how supply and demands works for different market including crypto. But to give a separate subject just for crypto, I don't like that to happened. Simply because it might interest students to go lazy and totally dependent on crypto to make money. Of course there will be success for some of time, but I'm sure that majority will fall for the trap that crypto will make them self-made millionaires in short amount of time.

As for Blockchain Technology, it should be taught in school specially IT related courses. In fact a lot of universities in the US has already included in it their curriculum, AFAIK.

Now, when studying at universities, it is important to separate cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. Blockchain technology is already interesting for many business structures and its popularity will increase. The crypto currency itself interests many people only for the sake of making a profit. But crypto-currency brokers also need training.
From other side. The next generation will perceive cryptocurrencies in the same way as we now perceive electronic payments in national currencies.  But it can happen faster, in the lifetime of our generation

[frchowe214]

If they want to learn about crypto they should learn to be a developer and a trader. The course should include solidity, and javascript so they can build DAPPS. Other modules should include economics and business so they can learn how to make money on the exchanges

[Troysen]

Speaking of that, I recently read an article that prestigious universities such as Berkeley in California were teaching cryptos and finance courses, according to professors the enrollment was 300% higher than last year, that means that despite the bear market and the generalized FUD, the interest in young people in the blockchain and cryptos is growing exponentially, I think that's the best news I've seen this year.

[pawel7777]

...

"Some" is a bit of understatement. There was already a discussion on 18% of students owning cryptocurrency, the same survey, commissioned by Coinbase, showed that 42% of the world's top 50 universities offered at least 1 blockchain related course.

I always feel shame when I see the vacancy of some university that requires a blockcain teacher. I'm like oh, I focus on cryptocurrencies too much but don't know blockchain good enough to teach

[KocaEfe]

I do not think you are right that thanks to Ethereum all Ico became known to everyone. And all the credit to him. I absolutely disagree. Thanks to the ICO, Ethereum became known to many. Due to the fact that the team led by Butorin created smart contacts on Ethereum, it became possible for anyone who wants to create their own coin. But it generated the dump in altcoins.
Education. I believe that universities and governments should work to create new personnel in the field of blockchain technology. This is our future, which should be formed today. I read on the Internet that American universities have already introduced such basic courses in the most famous colleges of the country. The turn of the other major countries.

Well what I think is that putting financial education first in secondary schools is a very promising idea as one of the leading cause of poverty is lack if knowledge about money and in it cryptocurrency subjects can be branched out which can help them widen their options for their future. I think what we should be focusing on the how can this technology along with existing options should help the younger generation while we find ways to have profits for our selves.

it would be great.. give crypto another 10 years then we will see special programs for the blockchian devolpment.. people are afraid of what they don't understand.. blockchain is far more powerfull than any softawre ever build it is not possible to alter the data in the blocks neither it can be hacked it can be widely used in financial market

[kindbtc]

Some universities have already introduced crypto based courses and degree programs in UK and some other countries, i hope soon all the major universities will introduce courses related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

[lebedi]

It will be very useful and preferable today because crypto is growing so fast and I suppose that it is possible that the next generation will work in the major part of them.

[tomahawk9]

I'm usually one of those who thinks it's better for a newcomer to learn about cryptocurrencies on their own, that way, whatever mistake they make during the adventures in the cryptosphere will be their own fault. But as long universities provite legit courses offering an in-depth view about the crytocurrency market and the blockchain technology with the pros and cons about getting involved in this world, then I'm all for it. If everythign works out then the cryptocurrencyt adoption phase could arrive sooner than we expected.

Actually there are a lot of universities that offering a course all about cryptocurrencies from different parts of the world and soon more and more universities will offer this kind of course about cryptocurrencies that is why those who really want here they don't have a choice but to adopts.

[bartolo]

I'm more concerned that people can learn about cryptocurrencies without going to university. It's clear that university syllabuses will sooner or later include cryptos, but what about people who cannot afford a higher education? It would be good if there were initiatives aimed at these people.

[xhibit1]

if cryptocurrency was to be introduced in universities, it would be one of the best stuffs the Government would do for the community/citizens and the crypto community as a whole. with this people won't be making some mistakes due to the fact that they are not educated about this.

[Jamboo30]

I know some of the universities in my area have also put blockchain and Crypto in conferences to discuss this new technology. I think that's a good thing for people to understand more about it. And then it will be more widely accepted in life.

[reflector]

It will be very useful and preferable today because crypto is growing so fast and I suppose that it is possible that the next generation will work in the major part of them.

Already two years ago some universities are start the Blockchain courses. So this topic is totally useless in this scenario  and some beginners are don't know the solidity programming language so they are trying to push the new courses in this world. But few countries only providing some crypto related courses so many peoples are not aware in crypto community. I hope all the countries are start the school education in entire world and it will execute colleges.

[Msile]

I think there is a point where it would have to be taught in universities especially to the students that are majoring in finance so that they can understand the industry,. I don't know how useful it would be for other students though for it to be taught in schools, I mean if they are interested they are just one click away from finding tons of information on it

[csbsstudent]

If I was a student I would have be in such university because this subject is very useful and promising for the future and I think that nothing could be better than to learn really necessary subjects.

[great.crypto.finansist]

To increase the level of literacy and education, the concept of cryptography should be taught not in universities, but in ordinary schools for children.

[valek.bruno]

This is a good idea, but it seems to me that earlier some projects wanted to conduct something similar, which would be an educational resource for many people, but in the end, many people will begin to understand what cryptocurrency is and it seems to me that the integration process will go faster.

[Omtamvan]

Crypto learning in universities I think is quite useful. invasion of dai crypto will not be able to prevent anymore because if the saw support from many aspects including the existing technology will inevitably bring crypto into an era of increasingly large. by having a study about crypto I think will help this to be better to prepare for the era of crypto comes. would be quite useful and also necessarily can give you a lot of profit when it has prepared from the moment for crypto.

[active706]

This sounds really good, and I think it will be provided in near future. It will be a new branch in economic. What about blockchain technology - I think it must be in university right now.

a nice idea but what we have to bear in mind is the fact that the government should give its permisiion. and i am not sure they made up their minds yet about whether crypto is dangerous for them or not

i think a couple of universities has already.
adopted and teach and inform a lot of students regarding blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.
however some are regulated by governments so its kinda be hard specially if the government had banned the crypto in the country.

There are few universities who are already teaching crypto in their classes. Separate class for crypto may or may not be helpful for now but I believe there should be some basic knowledge regarding crypto technology for everyone. Everyone who comes out of university should know basic about crypto and how it works so they teach it to others. good for long term adoption.

[otunayode]

Learning cryptocurrency in higher institution is what I will like to see more of. I understand that there are few university in the US and cannada that offer courses in cryptocurrency, the higher learning of cryptocurrency will encourage research and development and ultimate adoption for all kinds of uses!

They are focusing on the blokchain and then they are telling crypto after that. Some universities have already created it. But it will be a good thing if there will be more and more university will try to create such a blockchain education.
This will give a huge advertisement to the crypto without any money.

[sinkfish]

some university does start offer course involving crpyto and block chain.

[Goodnuel]

Education is a key part of a lot things. If crypto like every other walk of life can be studied in the universities around the world, building and creating a sound knowledge of the pros and cons of the technology, then we will witness a greater adoption and a possible mainstream roll..

[mistersehmuz]

Biggest universities of the USA and Europe provide some courses on blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. For instance, Princeton, Duke, Cambridge, Oxford, LSE ...
In 2012, one of my friends published his master thesis which was related to cryptocurrencies. Academic publications are so much to follow. The problem depends on the thoughts of ordinary people.

[fudster]

why do you need to go to university for learning crypto, you can just purpose a video tutorial in Udemy for it. There are different video course related to blockchain and there were even classes about being ethereum developer in udemy. The only time you want to go to a real world class is perhaps when there is a boot camp and you are interested to see a reallive mining devices in the production. Udemy is your best option for it.

[Bitknick]

Indeed, cryptocurrency is being introduced deeper and deeper into all aspects of our life, but nevertheless there are still a lot of places on the planet where there are no computers, no Internet, no electricity!

[atliens99]

Universities have courses on less important subjects so why not a few crypto classes.  The higher ups that have connections to the financial industry may be against teaching crypto in schools though.

Great idea but I think that it is necessary to study not the crypto market in financial educational institutions, but the technology of the blockchain in technical universities. The crypto market today is speculation, it makes no sense to study.

[Xxmodded]

maybe an IT curriculum that can involve crypto as an educational material for students. but this will not be effective because crypto is not very good in learning options, and as for other things about the blockchain system, it might be better to be a knowledge option. yes in my opinion like that

You can already study about blockchain in universities, there is another discussion about this on the forum but i can't find it now. Here you have 10+ universities with blockchain courses.

as far as I heard that in Russia and in Belarus they are opening up specialties at universities related to the blockchain technology. And this is a very good decision. Such specialists will be in great demand in the future.

[sergey1301]

I think that would be very good. And this would be another step in the recognition of the cryptocurrency (for example, in Russia).

[RohitMalhotra123]

Yes, it is a very good step to promote crypto in universities. We need to study crypto as a subject in all schools also. Level of education is rise with the help of this strong step.

[shendy]

as far as I heard that in Russia and in Belarus they are opening up specialties at universities related to the blockchain technology. And this is a very good decision. Such specialists will be in great demand in the future.

A policy that deserves thumbs up, where Russia provides special lessons on crypto, this is a challenge for all token holders to learn more about crypto so that they don't feel competed with the new generation.
