Blockchain Basic education for any Citizen

[imstillthebest]

I agree with you.  Blockchain education must be extra material in every school.  but.  the problem in my country is the government ban adoption of the blockchain system.  the government in my country prohibits BTC and crypto.  but, the ban still does not have strict regulations.  so I can still share knowledge about blockchain outside of education hours.

Isn't blockchain and cryptocurrency has a different technological concept.
maybe in your country does not allow cryptocurrencies use but not on the blockchain. blockchain is a system or technology and extensive development can can be adopted in various fields.
so this is misconception between blockchain and cryptocurrency, must be justified in educating to the public or students.  

Even so many universities in developed countries starting to educate about blockchain there are even so many online course there and yes that's true that blockchain is different to cryptocurrency. Blockchain is the system that's considered quite efficient so many company starting to find a way to implement it.

not only on a developed countries but also to those who are undeveloped ones there are also blockchain and crypto education  . blockchain and crypto are verry related to each other because blockchain is the backbone of crypto and crypto is the blood of blockchain , they need each other to live and exist  . however i will slightly disagree on the title of this thread  . blockchain education isnt really for any citezen because not all can learn it and mainly youger to middle age person are have the ability to learn because they are still verry active as when compare to older one's  . sorry but i dont mean to under estimate them , im not saying all  .

enthusiasts have the habit of saying that blockchain is the solution to all the problems in the world. On the contrary, blockchain is just another data structure, a way of saving data. Stop Ending, the system is great, but it does not solve everything in the world.

Actually, it is a good idea that we can support basic education for the citizen. but of course, it is only for certain societies that are ready for the development of technology and we cannot apply for all countries. For, every country has its own citizen condition, with very low technology awareness and facilities.

Crazy stuff to think about really

[bright4mech]

Blockchain technology has made it easier to be transparent for any given transaction destination, like wise the education system has been introduced in character and learning, how ever, bitcoin is a digital asset, which requires knowledge to operate on.

[Pumared]

BTC is a virtual currency that contributes greatly to the digital world, Libra is a new crypto, and has high popularity.  but I only talk about BTC, because BTC is a source of education in the blockchain world.  whoever we are.  spreading BTC in the world of education is better than spreading Libra.

You can not compare the BTC with the Pound. BTC was born to give power that was taken away by banks and institutions. Institutions that support the pound.

Well it is a good idea to teach people about blockchain technology. But I don't think elementary students would understand its concept nor some terms. I mean, it's still kinda heavy for them to understand it. Maybe it's good to introduce it to them at senior or college years because they already have bigger and deeper understanding so it's much easier for them to understand it.

Many people are engage in social media than in a business and job like this. In fact, they do not know much about cryptocurrency as well as blockchain technology. Millennial people did only for leisure purposes. Many of them are resisting to learn innovative ways to earn. Blockchain needs to be introduced all over the world. Because as I can see, many people still do not its real purpose though they have knowledge in technology.

Blockchain is a field that will become a necessity in future and awareness through education system is becoming important. However, teaching at elementary school is too heavy unless it is designed in the most fun way. Not imposing the blockchain education on kids but rather making it more engaging and adding to their vocabularies.

here is the link to a youtube, published by WIRED, video that i found very interesting that an experts explains the blockchain at different levels:

Blockchain and related technologies are the Future. Libra is just another confirmation for that theory (if needed), but for sure the biggest one we have ever seen in these days.

I think that Governments of developed Nations MUST add a blockchain course to the basic education of any Citizen... starting from elementary schools, and why not, with some basics concept also in nursery.

A young brain in it's primordial state is the base for any further development. Plus everyone should have this education, like an essential human right.

What do you think?

To make it as an additional subject in highschool will not be accepted for now i guess But I think
A mandatory attendance to a special blockchain seminar will give enough emphasis to the importance or usage of this technology.

[jademaxsuy]

block chain could only be done in short session of educating people who are crypto enthusiasts or the people that are open to the use of cryptocureency. But, of course the one that will educate should be paid. This is why no one has ever discuss about block chain because no one will do.it for free.

Introducing the Blockchain principles to students is actually really good. However, In my opinion it will not properly work if we are going to add this on the Elementary and Jr. High Curriculum as it can be mandatory for all students to take this certain subject but can't actually help them.

Therefore the best option will be introducing it to Sr. Highs and in College. In which students will be able to choose if they get interested with this curriculum by that we can assure that students who were in the curriculum are interested and are willing to learn the blockchain technology

That is good that they have some knowledge about blockchain, especially today that its gradually recognized and its already popular in any part of the countries. Maybe its appropriate to teach who has already at the higher grades or even in secondary level, because they can easy to understand.

We are far from it till now. As there are many countries where bitcoin is not acceptable, there is not possible to teach about on blockchain. But we can hope that, within some years every country will take benefit from blockchain.

[roosbit]

I like the idea of introducing blockchain education to students in high school level but it's not that easy for every country to have this as others might find themselves on the wrong side of the law as crypto is banned in some countries and already I hear countries like India want to introduce a 10 year jail sentence for crypto users....this makes a good cause impossible to work.

Blockchain can not be taught in middle schools, but in colleges and specific courses. Blockchain is not a revolution like mathematics, blockchain is just another tool of organization and distribution

[denasha92]

country great and advance is the country that follows the development of technology, to achieve such a society must be educated and literate technologies including the blockchain. I agree with the blockchain be used as one of the lessons in the world of education, because this technology is useful to support the various segments of the business in the present or in the future

[bozo333]

Already this world corporatism made the education as a business. If this has been introduced in the schools or colleges means we will be able to find this blockchain industry as the money making field like how they deal the education.

Everyone needs to understand the blockchain knowledge using via internet.
If you goes to any other platform it will create the problems and lose of money too.

Even so many universities in developed countries starting to educate about blockchain there are even so many online course there and yes that's true that blockchain is different to cryptocurrency. Blockchain is the system that's considered quite efficient so many company starting to find a way to implement it.

This is why is so important to push for relevant and useful changes that will help shape a much better future in developed precisely.

Doing it that way will cause that people with the resources and the will to improve actually implement some of those changes and the others will benefit out of it with time. How long? It would definitely depends on which country it is, how many resources you have and one important part, how much corruption inside the government.

What do you think?

Not necessary. Blockchain, if used by companies, private businesses, and even government agencies could already be an easy thing to learn for everyone. And whether we like it or not, we are on that direction. But a course related to technology, especially information technology, could very well integrate blockchain into their courses, the basics at least. The nitty-gritty part could be offered to major courses on that line. It is too much to offer it starting from elementary and even nursery. That is an additional burden to their young minds.

[denasha92]

Are you sure teaching kids in elementary school about blockchain because that just doesn't seems right. Most of the high school aren't teaching about stocks and that sort of things anyway. They are just teaching about the basics of financial knowledge whereas blockchain is a more complicated than that. Maybe the kids can grasp the knowledge to certain extent but such a thing will be better to be taught at the university instead.

study the blockchain is indeed complicated and need deep understanding. for the elementary school level is indeed too heavy learned by the students, but for just introduction can only learn the most basic things from the blockchain. to the college level in my opinion must be studied in all the major areas of study due to follow the development of the times.
