In my school, Bitcoin is now becoming a subject

[kamadazje]

It is kind of surprising as I can see a bright future of bitcoin if this kind of happenings will continue to spread in most of the country that fully  accepts bitcoin.

Once more and more people will learn about bitcoin and it's existense then the demand of bitcoin will surely to increase. I will just hope that this kind of good news will also happen in our country where our school will start to discuss about bitcoin or bitcoin will be added to our curriculum.

That's astounding news and good that education system understand the importance of bitcoin these days. Considering such leap you might from developed country and they will always keep it flexible when comes to the education. It's grim reality in our developing countries these things would be untouched forever since our system is solely based on the traditional learnings.

I'm impressed how yours is taking stuff like bitcoin so seriously. I barely doubt any individual would even think of such subject area in my country.

Now all we need to see how new generation take part in such subject areas and make things better for future information technology. :-)

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 this.

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 sure is a great step towards the new future, bitcoin is part of history now and it shouldn't be denied. Though I think it might've been introduced to you due to the specificity of your course. When I was getting my BSc degree and making presentations about cryptocurrencies I could sense a lot of distrust in my professors, even though it was during courses like the economy, investment business, one would think that these people should know better. Hopefully, it will change soon.

Out of curiosity, do they hire Bitcoin enthusiasts or they get people from the tech department and ask them to research and teach about bitcoin? It would be great if the tutors were actually individuals who have interest in Bitcoin as a Network.
Nevertheless, it is another small step in the right direction, innovations like emails and social media have been adopted into the educational sector. Bitcoin being the future of monetary network would also need such level of exposure to the future generations, so they can understand how it works and how best to handle it.

I would imagine it would take quite a while for such level of adoption to spread across the world, but with time countries not receptive to Bitcoin would realize that they are missing the train stuck with a failing system.

I am curious about your country and at what level is it taught? Because a while ago I read that there are indeed several universities that are opening courses on Blokchain / cryptocurency. If your country / university is a new major, that means more and more universities are opening blockchain / cryptocurency majors. This proves that the level of awareness of blockchain technology has great benefits for the future. Besides that, according to the sources I read, if I'm not mistaken the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cornell University,  University of California (Berkeley), Stanford University, Harvard University is a top five university according CoinDesk 2020 Blockchain University Rankings research.

This is something good for the growth of bitcoin and the widespread of bitcoin on all needs. Now getting added to the educational sector is much important and a needed one. Already several universities have started courses accepting bitcoin, and large number of universities have begun with blockchain courses.

This initiative will help a big leap forward as most users mentioned. In my country, even the people who are associated with the information technology doesn't know about bitcoin and blockchain. This scenario will change when similar steps were taken in my country.

Simply showing that mass adoptions will be taking place in the near future.

This actions of adding Bitcoin in an educational venue shows a strong possibilities that more people will engaged and adopt this system, students and professors who acknoewledge the usages of this system are also be added to the potential investors and supporters of this chain, expect to have a much wider market more people will learn deeper in regards to this industry.

Actually, my professor did invest in Bitcoin and tried to do mining, she did share her own experiences and from that I think she started to study more about Bitcoin and later on discovered Blockchain and its purpose, I think she'll be teaching this soon to her fellow professors for sure.

[DarkDays]

The idea of BTC and blockchain will become more and more known. This is why it is great to see the progress discussed in this thread that schools are making their students aware of the current circumstances, but I do think that this is the start of a new type of education, at least in the higher education system.

It is a real shame that up to secondary schools no subject is really there to teach children about finance and budgeting, so if blockchain and BTC altogether are to be introduced no doubt this will be a super slow introduction.

Nonetheless, the effect and impact BTC has and will continue to have on both local and global governments would create enough of a ripple effect which would be difficult to ignore. That is a fact!

That's great step towards more adoption of bitcoin. Students will become aware and have advance knowledge about bitcoin, how it can be use and what is the purpose of it, why it was created. That's a great idea of that school to teach their students about crypto currency because we are in a computer world and students should know everything happened in the internet including cryptocurrency.

Anyway, what is your school name and country? Hoping that it will become available in different schools and universities in all countries for crypto awareness.

[chip1994]

The era of technology is advanced and it seems that students now know Bitcoin and they are focusing on analyzing it quite a lot.
In fact, this is also normal when the press in countries around the world are posting news about Bitcoin during this bull run. Paypal even had to open more services on Bitcoin transactions. I realize that this bodes well for the future of Bitcoin and the Crypto market. If more and more young people participate in this crypto market, surely the government has to propose a plan to support Bitcoin transactions with reasonable tax rates.

I can considered the educational system in my country as poor because some of the subjects and the information are not valid anymore wherein you cannot use it in the future. I actually like to see a schools in my country that are offering subjects about cryptocurrencies especially in the bitcoin. For me the students should be grateful especially if their schools adapt new system wherein they add teaching cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology in their new educational system.

The traditional system is not good anymore and there should update because knowledge is keep increasing every year and we should be stagnant because we will not have any progress if the educational institutions keep teaching the subjects and the courses that doesn't important wherein it is considered as waste of effort and time.

Probably in line with economics, right? I am actually open with the idea of a revolutionary currency wherein it is a form of investment and a digital currency at the same time which I think is something not in line with the norm. Spreading knowledge regarding this technology would be a huge help since there is a rapid increase with companies making it a requirement for an individual to be knowledgeable with trading.
Quite outdated but recent articles support the claim on the link below:

But I guess this won't be necessary to all professions so pushing further won't be a mandatory.

[buwaytress]

It's not bad news, though I'm not sure I'd call it a "good thing". If academics are objective, then you can't be ignoring what's been happening now for the past ten years in IT and in economics -- like it or not, Bitcoin and the blockchain technology it's popularised are a part of history now. It's no longer about whether you accept it, it's how long you're going to deny it.

It'd be irresponsible for institutions of higher learning to ignore these developments.

[Ryker1]

Well, this is really great news, -- imagine the number of students who will become aware of bitcoin and the reality that even schools now are starting to make the younger generations adopt the cryptocurrency. The mere fact that it has already been acquired to the BSIT curriculum rest assure it will expand and be added to other courses in the succeeding school year. Looking forward, there is a big chance that it will be included in the grade school level curriculum for currency same as what we had when we were first introduced by our teachers to the different value and amount of money. The absolute global adoption of bitcoin perhaps is not far from now.

[Yatsan]

It is a pretty improvement on the education system to include a course about Bitcoin into your program which is BSIT that is really a continuously improving program since it relies on the technology that is also continuously growing. It is a good news then for it is a big step towards better understanding and to acquire more knowledge about a specific topic which is Bitcoin. For sure the programs that will include Bitcoin into their courses would come into more numbers as time goes by for BSIT is not the only subject concerned on technology. Looking forward that even on lower levels of education system may adapt having a discussion about Bitcoin for it is the present and future that will enable people to understand and make use of it better and have a greater perception about it.

[MCobian]

Very good news if your school is really starting to introduce Bitcoin, it looks like you come from a country that has legalized Bitcoin.
Because not all schools consider Bitcoin worth studying, I am sure if many schools are introducing Bitcoin, will increase people's awareness
that Bitcoin is a technology that must be developed to be able to help the country's economy. Due to the fact that many people have
improved their economy because of Bitcoin.

[malikg18]

It is really good news that Bitcoin is becoming a subject in your country , it will popularize Bitcoin to the world.It helps to regulate Bitcoin in those countries where it is legal.Bitcoin is a reality, whole world will know and adopt it gradually.

[Malam90]

Wow!! Its good news that bitcoin is now a subject for study. It is not first time, already few institution applied this before. Which school and which country? If you please include, it will better for us to give reference in the next issues. It will increase awareness among the students and people in your local area. I hope more institutions will also be inspired from it.

[Irdina]

salute your country, have broad thoughts and want to see a better future, different from my country, my country still doubts bitcoin and even exchanges like Binance in my country cannot be accessed, because it is blocked by the government. even though there are so many enthusiasts in  my country but the government doesn't support it. fortunately you are in a country like that.
