In my school, Bitcoin is now becoming a subject

[Rasel5209]

I don't know if we're the same but in this school year (2020-2021) Bitcoin is now being introduced to our school, although it may not be introduced to other courses, since I am currently taking Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) hence, we are to take Bitcoin and the history of BTC. It's actually great that schools are putting Bitcoin to their curriculum, with that, I got to share my experience with Bitcoin, I got the chance to share my knowledge about the history of Bitcoin and how much I benefited from thi

It's great news cause you can create knowledge about crypto. But my county don't accept bitcoin.

Adoption is still on the move and it might not be available now or accepted into your country but lets hope that it would really be adopted soon.Dont expect too much though because
each government does have their own stance towards cryptocurrency neither they would be accepting it or simply banned it due to other negative insights or perceptions towards it.
Any news of adoption is always a good one, including it on education will really be a big help on spreading awareness of bitcoin existence and whats it usage.
This will spark out in the youth when it comes to interest and this will boom up even more.

Learning Bitcoin and blockchain early can really build someone’s career specially now that technology behind Bitcoin is creating more jobs by demand. It’s an advantage if the school teaches Bitcoin or Blockchain stuffs as part of the curriculum because there are a lot of good things to learn and develop in the space. Bitcoin is not just about getting rich but it opens new door for opportunities and created a new class to explore to.

Good think and have any chance for the future when basic know with bitcoin, I think all student will understand with bitcoin as investment and currency payment, right now small subject teach about how digital payment effect for the future, have any way how to make payment for the future more simple and faster, we can send or receive much money without have using bank, right now still need bank trough when send money with higher amount.

One way or another, everything depends on the government, since it is they who influence what can be included in the curriculum of schoolchildren or students. If the state itself understands that society will inevitably use cryptocurrencies on a massive scale in the future, then there should be no problems with studying the subject of bitcoin in educational institutions. But since today many states reject the legalization of cryptocurrency, there is no talk of training yet. Although at my son's university, the teacher himself takes the initiative and introduces children to bitcoin.

If some school are teaching about bitcoin on how it works or how to make their own crypto project then crypto currency will be more and more popular around the world that makes bitcoin more expensive.

I think cryptocurrency is a course of it's own for people who are studying accounting, banking and finance, because bitcoin has reached to the extent that every body in different societies is aware of bitcoin, and many people has began to develop interest seriously without studying it in universities, so for cryptocurrency to be elongated via domination across the countries, I think it should be choose as a single honour in universities across the worlds that values cryoto, because their is nothing bad if bitcoin is been study in higher institution's.

[Yurkov]

This is something deemed to happen. The technology aspect of bitcoin is interesting and schools have realized that now it’s the time to teach students about this cutting edge technology. The sooner you know tech aspect of crypto better will be your technique to handle this coin.

[cheezcarls]

And speaking of that, I have a virtual class with the 40+ financial management students in a famous university in the Philippines tomorrow afternoon. At least this is gonna be good to educate them about what is the real Bitcoin and making them understand that it’s not a scam. Before the pandemic, I’ve already educated in several universities physically. This is going to be my first ever virtual class about Bitcoin, crypto and blockchain technology, but will focus on the financial side of it as they are non-tech students.

That could be good idea in general but infromation in this industry is still updating too fast to keep your school education up to date

I also decided to post it here because I think this is a big leap towards the future, from people doubting about Bitcoin and now, people are heavily relying on it, being informed, buying bitcoins, learning the ways on how to exactly earn bitcoins.

It is really great to witness many schools are caring about cryptocurrencies and deciding to have lessons about them. I have also seen the examples in some universities in my country and I believe that we will see it more in time. And the current and next generations will have great knowledge about them even at school.

- The bitcoin building project in some schools doesn't really drive the value of bitcoin higher when in the past, bitcoin could have been more popular by topic and spread rapidly on an online platform, the younger generation is updating this very quickly and they've known bitcoin for so many years, even spreading information in schools, so I can say bitcoin's growth potential in schools has been exhausted. Aspects and thoughts about bitcoin should not continue to be taught in school, students need more interesting and practical topics.

It's okay. Now I see it more as a way of life that only a few really adopt and many talk about but don't really embrace (like all those supposed Buddhists who only do it part time hehe. Like all the woke things they teach in schools now people say it to pass exams but not necessarily to use in life.

But that's the beauty of BTC. You can use it however you want. No judgment.

[mezzaluna]

P.S - Okay, so for those who are asking on what country, type of school am I in, I currently live in the Philippines which is a third world country, a country that is not yet solidified when it comes to technology, and education that is not as advanced as it may seem, since we are focused on the main subjects, Bitcoin and the technology of Blockchain has unlikely entered, well, educationally speaking, but my school (a college institute) and probably many more has started off talking about Blockchain, there are no downsides to this since we are only talking about it and studying but they're not encouraging students just yet to become enthusiastic about Bitcoin, probably in the future.

That is so cool!!! Can I ask what university are you studying at because I too also live in the Philippines but the only opportunity to we had to learn about Cryptocurrencies was through a subject called Engineering Economy. Our professor was surprised that there were some students who learned about Cryptocurrencies and now wanted to teach us how to utilize the Blockchain Technology in which it is integrated.

Some of my friends created a Blockchain based Thesis which is for Procuring items within our University. Having to learn about something that we really can earn from is a great opportunity from that university.

I think most of the update are only coming from the devs and the Lightning Network. And most of the things that we have right now are updated and can be studied whether it's on a subject or by just learning it alone.

But if we're going to correlate it with technology, almost everything is fast-paced and keeps on updating from time to time.

This is great and a big movement, you know if schools start teaching student about bitcoin, crypto and blockchain it will actually add more values to student lives because once there acquire knowledge about crypto, blockchain and the origin of bitcoin there will also get to know the benefits and also will want to pertake therefore this will actually make most students to be independent because there are many opportunities connected to crypto which can fetch them good income in return. In some countries most graduates hardly find jobs due to lack of job opportunities and there are left with no choice but to switch and start doing mini or labor job but for a student who got knowledge about crypto and blockchain won't get affected by lack of job opportunities because there will surely make out good income from crypto and would be self employed.

From all indications now, the sky is the limit of Bitcoin and Blockchain technology. Outside the financial aspect of it, there are other use cases that almost every sector of the economy of the world need. Many schools will soon follow the footstep of your school. Bravo to the management for being the pacesetter of the study of this great technology (Blockchain and cryptocurrency).

I do not understand how bitcoin can become a subject in school. Do you consider that school will taught US dollar also 
However, blockchain is a technology and that can be taught in schools/colleges. Blockchain programing is vey much in demand these days.

A hope the school you attend teaches you well about bitcoin.

I mean it's truly worth getting involved with!

Yeah, it is also another thing that is very important for learning about Bitcoin well. I really appreciate the schools that really care about their students' future. Because digital currencies are our future and the earlier you learn about them the better. But they should be taught really well otherwise there would be no point in doing this.

Why do you not understand it? Do you think it is a problem if Bitcoin becomes a subject in the school? As long as Bitcoin isn't something illegal there, it can be always a subject in the school. Moreover, if it is already familiar enough and proven to give big advantage for the people in the country. So, it makes sense if it is starting to be a subject in the school. It is not only about how to take dollars from Bitcoin but we can learn students about a new modern way to have a business in a digital aspect. Also, Bitcoin is a new revolution in a digital asset, plus Bitcoin offers people around the world to have freedom in managing their funds. This something that all people must know because it is very fundamentally an important history and knowledge for a new generation.
