Bitcoin in High School Syllabus

[Google+]

if bitcoin is used as a learning material in schools and has a syllabus it looks like it's good because it can provide knowledge about technology but you also have to be patient when explaining material about blockchain and bitcoin because they don't know the technology, whereas bitcoin won't be able to replace fiat money, bitcoin only as an alternative payment that can help to create safe and efficient transactions.

Its good to include Bitcoin on the curriculum but hopefully they will discuss more about cryptocurrency or blockchain technology and not just bitcoin because we all know bitcoin is the foundation of this market but there are something more to discover and its good for a student to be knowledgeable about this current trend. In my country, we already have a crypto course on some Universities.

According to the cryptocrunch: https://cryptocrunchapp.com/news/bitcoin-officially-included-in-french-high-school-syllabus/

Bitcoin cryptocurrency education will be implemented to French High School Syllabus. It is a new way to introduce money to students.

They are focusing on four Video questions:
1. Can bitcoin be a replacement to Euro?
2. Is bitcoin the currency of the future?
3. Is bitcoin is a currency like others?
4. Do you have to trust your currency?

Regarding this, it would be a good start to educate students about money and trust.

What's your opinion about this? Should cryptocurrency as a whole and blockchain be in schools curriculum?

I think it's a good idea to introduce cryptocurrency to new generations through school, but more importantly — I'm glad to see that students are actually being taught about money. Most educational systems tend to avoid the topic and teach useless stuff that you can google in 2 minutes at any time, but not about the most important aspects of life, like business, money, taxes, etc. Teaching about crypto is a good step on many levels, I think.

Don't you mean blockchain technology? Yes eventually it will be taught at school and they will be learning about us. We are the pioneer I wonder how long in the future schools will start teaching this stuff.
Remember it still needs to be adopted so those kids learning these lessons the future wish they could be us right now since we all got in early. It is still not too late.

developed countries are competing to claim everything as the first .

i mean for example there in france where they maybe become the first country who applying that policy to educate the young generation about what the future could be with blockchain technology , for the sake knowledge they take that risk.
where any other non-developed countries rejecting bitcoin entirely ... this is very obvious that developed country become more advanced and the non-developed countries become more left behind.

this is the matter of mindset , france is the one who one step ahead of us, this risk will be worth in the future!

[ohyeahhaha122]

I think the world is getting more and more attention to blockchain technology, especially bitcoin, teaching so early does not matter, will help more people know bitcoin, and the world of cryptocurrency will go up.

France not adopt bitcoin as legal currency but they have try for giving access for their student to learn with bitcoin by make crypto as syllabus subject in the school, they have good innovation for the future before accepting bitcoin as legal currency with know first for their people. Many school not focus with real subject needed by student and give bullshit subject have to learn by student but bitcoin is the best way for adopting in the school.

The school institution must be into bitcoin though. Bitcoin implementation in such High Schools or Colleges or whatsoever is good in a sense that the country they are residing are open and doesn't hold any sort of opposing thoughts with Bitcoin or crypto currency. Because it would turn out to be waste to implement if there were against with it.

[Genemind]

Since we're in the latest technology generation, it's necessary that we'll inform students and youth about the function of cryptocurrency. It's a good thing that it has been started in some countries. It will be an advantage since we're adopting the blockchain technology and it could surely go more in the future. Educating people especially the new generation about crypto is the best thing that we could do so adoption wouldn't be too hard for each country in the future.

[Palider]

This is a good idea for students because they know about bitcoin and it is possible that they will accept it until they have enough knowledge that they can use to also inform other people who are not yet familiar with this technology. I am sure that in these youth the crypto currency revolution will begin!

[doomistake]

At last, school became school.

I hope this would be implemented all over the world, because it is too boring to study stuffs that we are not even going to need when we graduated and starts to work, the biggest example for that is Calculus. School are focusing too much on one thing, and teaching things how to earn money with cryptocurrency is a huge start for students to study while they are earning, parents would be happy about this.

Implementing the bitcoin into the high school syllabus would be great for the high school students because at the very young age they are getting see and start to educate about the digital currency as well as the cryptocurrency on how it is going on. This would be really good because at the very young age they will be educated about knowing what is the use of cryptocurrency like bitcoin and other coins they will also educate about proper holding of their money or investing money in the crypto. I hope in the near future many countries will consider this as a alternative subject or syllabus in the school.

it has an impact for the future so it means that the idea can be develop by students who has a curious for bitcoin.  It also good if a teacher do tell some history for the students from focusing or thinking some new features to help bitcoin or other cryptocurrency.
 

[anoufal]

I am not sure that it is necessary to introduce bitcoin or cryptocurrencies into the school curriculum.

[CLS63]

It is a very good education method for students to learn about Bitcoin and the system of cryptocurrencies. I believe lessons like these will continue to increase and will be helpful for students to improve themselves in this field.

That is a great initiative taken by the school. Everyone is accepting the fact that the blockchain technology is the future so not only that four-question but it will great for the student if they start learning about the blockchain technology as well.

I think this is a very good idea to educate students about digital currency. it is good to teach kids about the future of money and how to use it as well. The age of paper currency as we know is over, therefore the future is a digital currency. bitcoin is just a start for the digital currency and who knows what will happen in the future perhaps the governments all over the world would issue their own digital currencies.

We have started to see Bitcoin and Blockchain as classes in high schools, universities etc. and this is very good. People can be well educated about this sector by doing these kind of things.

[funsponge]

Teaching Bitcoin at a high school level will only introduce complexity and not help students in the long term. Bitcoin principles are much harder to explain than that of fiat currencies. Fiat currencies can be explained fairly easily but as soon as you introduce excess numbers such as 0.000036 btc then it becomes increasingly difficult when considering this is at a high school level. Bitcoin fundamentals would be better introduced at a university level in my opinion.

[dimastegar]

Bitcoin in high school is an amazing thing. Basically, only a few of the general public are familiar with Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Therefore, by introducing Bitcoin through the academy can greatly help the spread of crypto science indirectly to the general public.

[Fatunad]

A good idea to implement such curriculum to the schools. To avoid the next generation from becoming an ignorant to the blockchain technology. I just hope the school will teach blockchain and bitcoin and it's history purely without advertising some of the future projects like ICO and IEO's.
