Cryptocurrency Should be subsubject in Economy

[SUMBI99]

In this time of Crypto Revolution there are some issues supposed to be studied and in my Opinion cryptocurrency supposed to be subsubject when teaching economy this will add many benefits in this revolution. As it will exploit the advantage and threat to the economy                            

[crwth]

I don't think curriculums of high schools, colleges, graduates, etc, are quickly going to implement that unless the Economics teacher has data of how it affects the current economy today, especially with what's happening.

I find it amusing to have it as a subject. Hence I agree that it's best to be included in a subject to understand the potential of having sustainable social and economic growth or is a threat to the economy.

I like this way of thinking. Maybe making cryptocurrency studies a obligatory subject isn't a perfect idea, but I'm sure a lot of students will be happy to study it. And of cause, some universities offer blockchain and cryptocurrency courses (just for examples Cornell University, Duke University,  Georgetown University and MIT)

[jseverson]

I'm sure it comes up here and there, considering full courses from reputable universities already exist, but I don't know if it actually has enough economic impact (for now at least) to be tackled head-on by econ students. It's still incredibly young (on top of that, it only really entered the world stage like what, 2 or 3 years ago?), and even top economists don't really agree about its place in society -- heck we can't even conclusively say if it's a good hedge against traditional finance or not, even in our current crisis.

I don't think there's a crypto revolution going on either, since it's looking like majority of its users are still speculators who don't care for the technological aspect too much. Real world usage would need a big boost before we see any major changes to public perception.

There are a lot of schools right now accepting the speech or talk or most commonly a seminar to the students and before I already experience having a workshop of blockchain and cryptocurrency many people in my country now are using this kind of transaction and also they are spreading the use and benefits of the cryptocurrency today, and it is a piece of good news because they introduce the use or crypto it the fastest way to make more earnings and use this on their future transactions. But still, need them to be more aware because there is money involved in the world of crypto and you just need to take care of it

That would be good if people will be taught exactly what it is. I will even suggest that the foundation/standards be based on Bitcoin/Satoshi's whitepaper and verified intenet posts. Teachers/educators can then build on the foundation & keep upcoming/future teachers from derailing from the real ideas behind Bitcoin/crypto.

[skiorf]

Bitcoin entered into education subjects is a positive and good thing for students to get to know more about the cryptocurrency digit currency and the blockchain technology used by bitcoin.

Studying Bitcoin on economic subjects must be done correctly in accordance with their portion, there is no need to study it too deeply and in detail, for an introduction the teacher only needs to provide a basic understanding of bitcoin, cryptocurrency and blockchain so students can know the initial picture.

[dothebeats]

There are some universities who are exploring bitcoin and cryptocurrencies under disruptive innovation, which has long been a topic in economics of contemporary times. For the mean time, universities would be exploring the blockchain and its applications rather than the core concept and value of cryptocurrencies since the former has more useful and widespread applications in different industries. Give it a few more years and for sure, universities would employ the idea into their curricula.

With the increasing adoption of blockchain in various sectors, such as finance, public service, automotive, and all other industries, of course, the demand for blockchain programmers will increase in the future. In addition, there is an industrial revolution 4.0 which is identical to the robotic and AI industries with the loss of geographical boundaries, cost-saving, no intermediaries, secure services, and programmable money and all of these characters are in blockchain technology. So the demand needed to fill the position of the developer blockchain will increase.

It's just that, just being introduced now in the course will be a little late and there is a possibility of graduates not being able to catch the momentum. It should also be remembered that to face the 4.0 revolution not only the ability and understanding of the blockchain and technology are needed but cognitive emotional intelligence education is needed to be able to compete with robots, the IQ of AI/robotics may be high but there is complex problem solving involving feelings and sensing that cannot be replaced by AI. And it needs to be respected by some countries whose education is based on technology, so to bring the blockchain as a course at universities depends on the government.

There are already some universities blockchain program but i dont think that we will see crypto in economic textbooks due to low temp of their devolopment

Well, crypto related literature is not just a sub-subject in my country, because some Universities are already offering a blockchain course and crypto related, we’ve already started the revolution and on time like this, its really good to start learning cryptocurrency. The Economics subject is too broad, and its good if crypto course are different from that subject but on the same department is fine.

[btc_love]

It seems to me that first of all we need to understand what conscience, morality, goodness, love and other aspects are, which are the basis of everything. Yes, economics is important to do something in this material world. But what's the point in economics when people are unhappy?

Therefore, the economy and cryptocurrency should be studied only as something secondary.

[Reid]

It is.

But, it is not that easy to just change the traditional curriculum.
You see, professors and teachers have studied those for years and they are used to it.
Changing that will mean they will need to study it too which might take most of the time.

Understanding how it works and being updated to the current news is a difficult task instead of just doing what is traditionally done.
It still depends on the mentor though. If he is willing then he could insert those but that means eating some of his time and he or she could get in trouble once the management knew what he or she is doing.

You mean blockchain courses right? We already have a lot of universities that offers the blockchain courses that will help us into the future to build the ideal society that we want. It is not just about cryptocurrency, it is way more valuable than that, and that is paving the road of systems. Educating people about blockchain will not only boost the hunger of people to know blockchain but it will help a lot of branches to it like cryptocurrency especially bitcoin, ethereum and other heavy asset in the market right now.

[fiulpro]

I do think Cryptocurrencies does require a entirely different subject , as a matter of fact it is not just economics that is going around with respect to cryptocurrencies it is ,

A little bit of engineering + economics

A subject which is one of its own kind , therefore I do think it would be best if we have a separate subject , because even though governments all around the world criticize this at the end they are also following the suit and are all set on bringing out the digital dollar and all in approximately 3 years .

We already do have courses designed for a higher learning level but it should be taught in schools so , so that people can have an open mind regarding cryptocurrencies.

This will not take a long time to happen. It will be a blockchain education in my opinion and there is already a project that is running an IEO on such. There is need for that as the cryptocurrency is steadily growing. With little time, this can happen if we embrace it.

This will take a lot longer than you might expect because teachers are not seeing this when they studied so it is a brand new thing that teachers would have to first learn themselves and than they need to reach to a level where they can teach others as well. That is not that easy and you can't really find those teachers that easily.

However, it could be a selective course where you can hire a "teacher" as in someone who is good at this in their field and has a job regarding crypto for example and they would come in and teach like 3 hours a week and leave, that way you can have a course without really having someone who is a teacher. Still, that will take some time to become more of a norm and it will be more like a thing in the future when crypto is more of a standard than right now.

There are already schools that teach about Bitcoin and blockchain that supports it.

It's just 6 years after the 2013 bubble that opened people's eyes and rised awareness. You might think that it's going to take long before it becomes a common subject taught at schools to children but it won't.

Computer games went through a boom in the 90s and about 10 years later we had computer game design as a common course on universities. Technology moves fast!

I think you will agree with me that this is going to be hard especially in some countries that have not legalized the use of the crypto and if at all they will be taught in economy, I believe they will focus on the negative impact rather than the positive parts. However, I have seen that many countries that are crypto friendly are not only studying it as a course but also offering scholarship to studying the underlying technology which is the block chain. Such are very common in school in Europe

if they dont legalized cryptos they shouldnt be teaching it too  . only courses related to crypto are for country that fully accepts crypto .

 there are now alot of them but only few so far are willing to take it as that is also a bit costy and seems to be complicated than other courses offered by schools  . but once crypto has been really established globally , i think the study for it will only become cheaper and that can lead to more people being interested to take it .
