I have a plan of teaching college students in my neighborhood Bitcoin

[Lordhermes]

You might like to look at https://bitcoin.org/en/ as they provide the resources that they need to understand.

Ever since I started participating, acquiring, having knowledge about cryptocurrency, I have never come across this website. No mentor had ever shown me that site, I'm really surprise to see such site as the real and first bitcoin website that explains full details about bitcoin and blockchain. Thank you so much Boss, you helped someone here because I'm learning everyday.

I made a lesson plan yesterday and I would be teaching final year students approaching graduation in my neighborhood about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general and career opportunities involved in the discussion as soon as the lockdown is lifted.

You doing a nice job op, most students think bitcoin is all about digital money doubler,  a ponzi schemes pyramid as others scammers had turned it into. Teach them the real basics about bitcoin and blockchain, the purpose of bitcoin, where can be stored, how can be it stored, how does it depreciate, effect of demand and supply on bitcoin price, and many more to teach. Success Buddy.

This is a very good initiative. It's a friend of mine and thought to silo but in the end it didn't work out. I hope your honest plan will succeed. I wish you all the best. I would like you to open a coaching center where you will be taught the details about Bitcoin. Where many poor young generation people tell you about bitcoin. It can help your area and country to reduce unemployment. Thank you again for undertaking such a great project.

Well guess I am an educator too in secondary level and doing a part time job on tertiart level.

I know most of education system has similarities being copied from one system modified or improve and there were guidelines being imposed. I do not know how these could be possible to teach bitcoin in students literally in formal or classroom instruction. This surely will violate guidelines on the teaching process regarding on irrelevant topics to be discussed for example bitcoin.

Bitcoin is not yet formally introduced by the government and it is also impossible to for now because or rumors against bitcoin like scam investment.

However, I know that bitcoin will going to be part of the culture one day. Well just have to wait on when could it be just like the pandemic we are facing now. Some countries do consider it as the new normal way of living life adapting the current situations with the pandemic.

This is a really good move. Congratulations on making my plan a hit But i feel the simplest thanks to teaching students about crypto is to burn in batches. this may increase everyone's attention and help one to unravel the matter of another. the scholars won't be disappointed Everyone will find how to urge obviate their frustration and unemployment Before that, the essential idea must be applied to everyone.

Kind intentions to educate young generations with cryptocurrency, interest will jumped once this
people realized the potentials of this system.
There are many usages especially if they go deeper and start learning blockchain technology. This
initiative will be appreciated in the long run
next generations students will begin using blockchain/bitcoin.

 You can as well suggest topics I can cover time to time. I will be dedicating 3 weeks for the campaign. I hope to update the forum about the development too.

I think you should consider Blockchain technology to be part of your lessons. Show them how blocks work and how Bitcoin and crypto were connected with it. It was a really broad and vast topic to be discussed in three weeks yet if you could really explain it well, it would only take days to make them understand it. BTW, would you tell us what topics have you already written in your plan and what are the scopes of your lessons? There are things in crypto that are complex that you might find a difficulty to teach them soon.

Please don't teach them that Bitcoin can be their source of income, soon they might struggle with such ideology.

I think the idea is basically a good one. But I still don't quite understand what your goal is? Do you want to teach the students how to buy Bitcoins, for which applications the Blockchain is good or do you want to explain the monetary system to the students?
In general it is a difficult topic, because people of that age are more likely to see the potential gain than the loss.

[Salauddin1994]

This is a very good concern your plan will certainly be much better but how you will teach them about bitcoin is unknown to us. If you have taken a financial advantage then there are many poor talented people who will not be able to learn bitcoin However, education through blockchain technology will move the young society forward huge later they will become more interested in working in crypto and the demand for crypto will increase.

golden idea, cryptocurrencies will be their best investment, instead of spending money at graduation parties, buying a new car, looking for a job, or traveling, they can invest it and buy all of these things with a return on investment.
Educate them about the economy and how bitcoin works more than how you know it.
you can let them invest them and less than 3 years.

You want students at the age of 14 to invest in something that can also cause high losses? You know nothing about the economic background of the students.
How can you be sure that they will stay invested in Bitcoin and not switch to Shitcoins with more gain but at even higher risk?

Well, to be fair, it is generally accepted advice that the younger you are, the riskier your investments should be. I understand your point as to not encourage youth to piss away their money by investing into crypto, but I'd argue that might be more beneficial for them to become more financially literate, and learn more about investing. There is no guarantee that they will lose any of the money they invest. Personally, I'd rather a kid lose 1k in crypto at a very young age where money doesn't matter, than them living 50 years of their life before learning about what real investments are. But that's just me

If you are young you dont think to much about your future. Andi f you have the possibility to get rich very quick you ignore the warnings (FOMO). But it is not the students, it is their parents as well. What would you do if your child loses her money due to a teacher
Don't get me wrong, I like the idea from OP. But it can also become problematic.

Maybe we can teach younger people to invest in crypto, but we must tell them about the risk, so they can understand and don't make a rash decision. They need to learn about bitcoin investment or crypto investment to think and manage their money to be used for the investment. If they lose the investment, they can learn from the mistake, so they can have the experience and will not repeat the other mistake.

It's a nice idea you've got there and choosing an almost or already graduating students is a good pick as they are already used to the learning culture and can actively practice what they learn by means of participation.
Though, we don't know what your lesson plan looks like, do ensure to take them through the various terminologies involved in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a field and in the simplest of terms without ambiguity.
It aids for better understanding.

This is a good thing. A very good opportunity for all these students. To teach the cryptography field is a great and wonderful work. Frankly, I have the same thinking as you. I plan to establish a specialized institute for teaching cryptography and everything related to it. I wish you success.

Maybe in the near future when Cryptocurrencies are widely used universities and schools will create a special course for this, we need proper education on the subject of Cryptocurrency although there are many videos on Youtube and many articles only it's different when taught in school.
