Cryptocurrency must adapt in schools/colleges curriculum

[DarkDays]

I don't know if this topic is already tackled but I want to know your random opinions.

What happens if Bitcoins will be adapt in schools especially in college level?
For me it will be advantage for every students who will encounter regards Bitcoins . Since we are now living in a modern  world we encounter a lot of currency specially Bitcoins. I think it's better to have a lesson about Bitcoins in the Home of school learning so that the teacher and students both learned in currency which is Bitcoin . If ever this thing tackled in the school it will be educated and expand the knowledge of Bitcoin so they will know more and also to avoid scam

What are the best for beginners between  Hodl and invest?
For me I will choose investment even if it takes time and very risky but the profit you recieve will make you satisfied.  We all know that we won't be successful if we've not encounter many struggles we neet to be patient and disciplineed then the victory is ours. Warren Buffett says “We don’t have to be smarter than the rest. We have to be more disciplined that the rest."

Does the government allows Bitcoin to be tackle in school?
  In my observation not all will agreed, if the government  support Bitcoin it is a big help to us to know more and expand our knowledge and we all know that bitcoin give us a good thing. We can earn through investment. If someone afraid of taking risk then they can hodl thier currency until the price goes up

Does Education in Cryptocurrencies is the best way to avoid being scam?
Yes absolutely teaching about Cryptocurrencies and security in our account is the best way to avoid and prevent scam so it is better to had an education in Bitcoin in the school specially to that student and teacher who did not know about Bitcoins cause , in our world right now are more
 Cryptocurrencies. It gives us benefits an awareness on how to secure our account our personal information cause we don't know people beside us so it's better to be wise men.

While these might be relevant questions to the world of crypto, I think outside of this space is still early days.

I don't expect schools to be starting their curriculums with a few crypto topics, and that's because there is still a wide division between cryptonians and the rest of the world.

Without full backing from governments this won't take off at the level proposed, and quite understandably so. While there are opportunities, there are also a large number of scams and some can even argue that crypto is more like gambling. A topic which opens up quite a few different genres on the subject, and you can start to see why there will be anti-arguments to teach children about something so high-ended in the field of economics.

To date, crypto is much an option for those who want to learn and educate themselves on and it seems to me that it will stay like this for sometime.

Crypto is bigger than that. You can't learn everything about crypto currencies in one semester. There should be colleges that devoted themselves to teach about crypto.

Crypto is a profession now. Like being a doctor. o taking a few crypto classes won't suffice. You need at least 4, maybe 5 years of education to learn everything about crypto. (that won't be enough neither probably)

When you graduate from the crypto school, you'll be a cryptomaster that's able to code his/her own crypto currency under a few hours.

I can already see this happening.

You're talking about educating developers here, not introducing kids to the basics of what Bitcoin is. And do you really think we need another generation of shitcoin creators to try to get rich that way? Such things already exist, and it is not necessary to study for 5 years for someone to make their own coin, you can learn it in a few months - and the proof of that is more than 10 000 listed coins/tokens. Should I even say that 90% of these projects are completely meaningless and have no purpose?

[zaesvlas]

Honestly, I think it's too early to do this. At least, often children are simply not yet ready to perceive such information and can simply spend money.

[Ararbermas]

For me if schools and students adapt bitcoin there's a advantage and disadvantages and what i would like to share here is the disadvantage in my personal opinion since we all knows how good bitcoin is to all users..  So it goes like this, in my view if students learn how they can make money with bitcoin such when it comes investments or trading, for sure there's a high possibility that some of them will not go to school after that.. I mean schools will be useless, because we go to school to have a good future right? So what if those students sees that their future were in the crypto space?.. We all knows how many workers out there that decided to resign because they choose bitcoin because of how much money they can get from it as well compared to their previous work.. So there's a possibility some of the students will do the same especially those lazy people.. Lol just saying.

Before crypto teaches in schools/colleges as a curriculum, they need to ask their government because some countries do not accept crypto, which can make a contradiction between schools/colleges and the government. If their government allows that, schools/colleges can start teaching their students about crypto in their curriculum, but the lesson will be a basic thing about crypto.

But as the internet connection is available in many places and people can access the internet easily, they can learn more details about crypto to get more lessons. Maybe the students should know about the investment that crypto offers to them to use some money to invest in crypto and prepare for their future.

[passwordnow]

I like the idea since most of the lessons, subjects, and modules are very limited to what we've been using. It's like a continuous cycle for the same topics with very little new knowledge in addition. Most of the professionals in the blockchain/cryptocurrency were self-taught, of course with the help of the community. I believe in the power of community and it should be great if these schools will recognize that.

Honestly, I think it's too early to do this. At least, often children are simply not yet ready to perceive such information and can simply spend money.

It's not about children but those teens to young adults but there's no exception if it's about knowledge about crypto and blockchain.

[Gosgosking]

There are cryptocurrency academy that I have come across. Since government are in charge in studying aprroving curriculum (course) and is not legalized it will be some how hard to adopt cryptocurrency schools(college). Adopting cryptocurrency into school system will work smoothly in countries that cryptocurrency is well legalized.

Well, if these things happen, then it will be great. Though recently I saw on a Bangladeshi university called Rajshahi University's honours first year admission test exam a MCQ about bitcoin. So we can say now people are interested. Then we should make a subject so that all the students know about it. If we didn't educate our students about any technology, then our citizens wouldn't be able to compete with other countries' students and people either. I think bitcoin or blockchain technology is already a topic for cybersecurity students. So if this blockchain technology topic was added at school level, then students could get more knowledge before finishing school too. For me it will be great.
 
As an example, I'm teaching my 7th grade younger brother about social media marketing and its role in bitcoin and new cryptocurrency projects.

[sherenikaw]

That's a good idea, it's possible that it could happen at a school or university that is already accepting crypto. we know that crypto is currently growing rapidly and many developed countries have accepted it. if that happens of course it will be good where children will start learning to manage crypto assets well because it is not easy to learn to manage crypto to be safer and profitable. but I think it will only happen to countries that have accepted crypto and crypto is growing rapidly there.

It's great that you're making your younger brother aware of that and its definitely an edge towards others who are until now, still naive to crypto.

However, the only way that crypto will be taught in schools will only depend on the government itself if they give permission on it. Because probably schools won't be making their own decisions, whatever their teachings should still abide with the laws made by the government. Although its a great start for students at an early age will already be aware about the existence of crypto and how it works, but it won't be possible without the support from the government. And i think the best way to lessen scamming cases is to make everyone educated about crypto because when it happens, people will be responsible to manage their own finances as well as on their crypto accounts.

Actually, the courses related to crypto are already available in some universities around the globe.
There's even a thread here discussing about all those schools and universities having crypto-related courses.
But will just give an idea as I can't find that thread here, will just post link from coindesk, those universities who have blockchain-related courses

https://www.coindesk.com/learn/2021/10/04/the-top-universities-for-blockchain-by-coindesk-2021/

If you can see, the list is already long and I believe, it will have more schools in the coming days.
So we are already adapting crypto-related courses in some universities, and we are expecting it to grow stronger in the coming years.

Its already been a while where certain schools had included out crypto/blockchain into their curriculum.

Its great to see such add up and recognition which would really even haste up the level of awareness or adoption.

I ever read a similar topic previously but I think it is no problem to have this thread because the previous one seems no longer an active thread.

What happens if Bitcoins will be adapt in schools especially in college level?

For college-level, learning Bitcoin is an appropriate topic. There are already some colleges having Bitcoin as the material in lectures. So far, there is no bad issue about Bitcoin as the material in lectures. Instead, more college students want to learn about Bitcoin because they know many people can be rich by investing in Bitcoin.

This really has a huge impact. The more people get educated about crypto, the faster adoption we are able to see.
Young minds are more aggressive when it comes to new learning and since they are more exposed to the internet and know more about gadgets, that was easier for them to understand.

One year learning about crypto, I think it was good enough and that was enough for them to educate and teach their family members as well. Maybe we have to wait and see how much it is contributed to the adoption a few years from now as this couldn't have instant results.

Right. If all people will receive right education for crypto, then there will be no instances that the government might doubt its potential as everything is transparent in crypto. The adoption will be more achieve in an earlier time because there will no big barriers that will block from crypto adoption. And indeed, this adoption will bring a lot of positive effects not just for its users but also for the whole country as well. And once crypto is legal, scammers will be sanctioned once they are caught scamming in crypto so probably it will be lessen the cases though.

[TelolettOm]

A must?
Well, it may be interesting, but not all countries are ready for this.
I can agree if some certain subjects in the schools introduce cryptocurrency, but not for a specific certain curriculu.
It is only part of the materials so that students will at least know about cryptocurrency.
If we are willing to have a certain curriculum for cryptocurrency, it may be not suitable for any gardes. It may be suitable enough for certain colleges or lectures so that they will specifically learn about crypto and blockchain technology.

[kawetsriyanto]

I agree with you. If there will be more people learning crypto and they finally know well about crypto, the society will be easier to accept crypto because they are not influenced by bad issues anymore. Having good knowledge about crypto will be very helpful to fight with many bad people spreading FUDs about it. Yep, young people, especially college students, have a high curiosity. They must be interested to learn crypto as a whole.

[chaser15]

Economics is part of the curriculum. Are there many people who want to enter as an economist or are interested to be involved in that subject?

Crypto is a currency, the same as fiat. Why it should have a main curriculum? What's the benefit? Are all people can afford to use it freely? No need to have a subject about cryptocurrency. If people are interested, they will seek the information by themselves.

There are lots of people already in the world that know how potential crypto is but why are some of them still not attracted to get involved? It's because people have their own view about that. No need to force other people to join crypto to the point that it will be placed as a subject at schools or universities.

[famososMuertos]

...//....

Let's start with something as simple as the fact that the curricula must be reformed at all academic levels, at least in the basic stages of learning and even the physical structure itself must be rearranged.

Programming languages, e.g. must be part of the training of individuals from the early stages of learning or, let's say, there must be a structured starting point. That is it ​​are just an example to raise the level of learning in terms of new technologies.

The above leads us on the way to know not only Bitcoin but other important emerging technologies, that is, it is not something as punctual as only Bitcoin, but in any case, it is quite complex to deal with such a structured topic in a few words.

And in the priority objective of teaching bitcoin today or guiding young people, it is enough to mention it in a classroom, that in the simplicity of the execution is revolutionary.

[yhiaali3]

Of course, teaching Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in schools and universities will be of great benefit to society in general, it will help young students to understand cryptocurrencies in a correct way and will also teach them the correct investment methods and avoid the methods followed by scammers and other wonderful things, but this will never happen unless Global adoption of bitcoin by governments, if governments do not officially adopt bitcoin and cryptocurrencies there cannot be any kind of education in universities and institutes for students about these things, on the contrary, they will instill in their mind fear of cryptocurrencies and hear them a lot of bad things about it like it is They carry a high risk, are highly volatile and are used for money laundering.
