Cryptocurrency must adapt in schools/colleges curriculum

[lucates]

It's too early to say school adding Bitcoin or cryptocurrency to the curriculum but maybe they will just insert bits it on economics class. It's only in college that I learn investing and that HODL term was not among that was taught but most probably in computer-related classes, there will be blockchain programming which may include the languages like Solidarity. 

If adoption really will spread which in every transaction locally is done through crypto, ED will make it mandatory for each to learn how blockchain works even for grade school.

Knowing about new technology is important. Crypto currencies and blockchain technology are the future so it's inevitable. Is good to see as school or college curriculum.In my instinct before 5'th grade we can teach them good financial habits then after we can enter into financial literacy or real economics classes

Apart from this we should provide a seperate course too like diploma or something that's also indispensable because is the areas have the wide scope and huge employment opportunities.

few of my niece are now engaging in crypto since their college time and now are investors already, so how more if they have learn this when much younger?

Apart from this we should provide a seperate course too like diploma or something that's also indispensable because is the areas have the wide scope and huge employment opportunities.

if we put it as course then Diploma will be delivered after they graduated so there is no need for different.

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.

Maybe the schools or the college teaching the technology behind cryptocurrency which is the blockchain instead of teaching them about the cryptocurrency.
So no matter if the government are not doing an adoption with cryptocurrency, the blockhcain system is already taught at the class so the future generation maybe could create a new system that can compete cryptocurrency with more efficient and safer security than cryptocurrency right now.

schools/colleges struggle to actually go into convincing detail about the fiat economy.

highschool level does not go into detail about credit cards. does not tell students that credit cards should only be used for emergency expense.
even now people have thought credit cards are to get "free money" where they can go on spending spree's and worry about repayment later.

many students dont even know that money is not backed by gold/silver anymore

many students dont know that the national debt is not actually the citizens getting themselves in debt but the government borrowing without consent and then leaving citizens to be taxed later on at higher rates to repay government mistakes

..
so if you are thinking schools/college will go into the fine details of crypto economics.. you are wrong. if anything it will just be an IT side project much like learning about blockchain database formats like students learn about using microsoft access macro's

I don't think that teaching cryptocurrency as its own subject is a good idea, not because in it self its is bad but because it kind limits the use of the blockchain technology to the financial and currency use of it, i feel like blockchain technology is the future and teaching its concepts and its advantages can create a new vision to how people view and do things in the future in many sectors, blockchain could be used for smart contracts and other things, and cryptocurrency is just an example and for us to take advantage of it we have to look to expand beyond that and create new ways to use it and by teaching young people about it will help do that.

[lumierre]

Unfortunately, not all schools have even Economics as the subject. The government is not interested in making their people financial free as they will not have tools to manipulate people then, so they don't want to have us aware of investment. On the other hand, if countries adapt crypto as a national currency, they will have to teach people how to use it.

[lovemycar]

The idea is good, but are there any systematic theoretical and practical courses now? If so, it depends on whether the country’s policy allows it. If it is a blockchain technology course, many universities should have related courses. If it is a digital currency, I don't think there will be many.

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

I usually say this when I read stuff using bitcoin to spend Why to spend bitcoin when you can play with bitcoin to earn more?. Still, Lets get to the point wthich I am going to answer this. Its simply growth in the economy on the share holder of the school.

Which there are 2 things they do to earn more and more which the simple answer is a trade that you should have done instead of spending for the school. Your simple feed them instead of your own they may feed you or your son/daughter knowledge but your losing you money

What are the best for beginners between  Hodl and invest?

let me start with investment and Hodl is said not the same but...

For me Investing is kinda holding you bitcoin too in some sort but dont bother to explain. For me specifically when your HODL you waiting for it, the value to increase which here's comes the ROI return of income, or I would define my invest investments. To simply put holding is just a strategy called investment strategy.

Does the government allows Bitcoin to be tackle in school?

In some governments do and some dont which they saw as a treat, in my opinion. Proudly to say which amaze me there are some who probably adopt the trend of bitcoin or specifically the cryptocurrency.
like the previous replies, the source is given already so to shortly answer this is a yes

Fun fact if you did not know there is a country their Government adapt the idea of cryptocurrency making their own altcoin or rather there own coin.

Does Education in Cryptocurrencies is the best way to avoid being scam?

People have different views strategies so I cannot say yes or no because I learn to avoid scams not just because of Crypto.

I don't think that teaching cryptocurrency as its own subject is a good idea, not because in it self its is bad but because it kind limits the use of the blockchain technology to the financial and currency use of it

I agree that cryptocurrency must be just another application of blockchain technology and this way schools and universities must adopt first blockchain technology into their curriculum and may have cryptocurrencies as one of the usecase of blockchain technology in real life.

teaching its concepts and its advantages can create a new vision to how people view and do things in the future in many sectors

Yeah, if we need more revolution out of blockchain technology then we must take it to more people which is easily possible if schools and universities include blockchain technology in to their curriculum.

I am seeing in my country there are already lots of courses (both online and offline) are being advertised and I remember some universities already started providing certification based courses as well. So, I guess we are on right path toward the next level of revolution of blockchain technology.

Blockchain is a very complex subject matter compared to cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency can be introduced on economics while blockchain requires a special subject dedicated for it since its a new technology which requires advance knowledge on coding. I understand what you guys is trying to describe on your statement but take note that the person who will gonna introduce this was a student without a prior knowledge to Cryptospace. It will be a mind blown subject for them if a teacher suddenly introduced blockchain and its function while they don't have foundation on what it was use for.

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?

• If it does get adopted in schools for such it will be great for the people wanting to get into this industry and would also be a great thing for this industry as a whole since it will spread balanced awareness about crypto currencies instead of biased opinions or lies. The thing is though, is that just as how much investment topics are mostly found on seminars, topics about cryptocurrencies are in the same table. Both can be talked about in and outside of schools from time to time but not something that schools would consider vital for courses (YET). So I wouldn't bank on that happening any time soon.

What are the best for beginners between  Hodl and invest?

• Both go hand in hand. Only having one won't give anyone gains. Because when you invest, you will have to hodl and hodl is hodl regardless of how long or how short the duration of doing it is. Same goes with hodling, you cannot hodl if you do not invest time, effort or money. Bottom line is that if you are a beginner, better focus in gaining as much knowledge as possible about your desired endeavour(s) then acquire needed wisdom in how to apply the knowledge you have gained. I don't care how rich or how poor you are, if you lack knowledge and wisdom in anything you want to get yourself into, you are bound to lose. So beginners, invest on knowledge and wisdom and hodl the necessary.

Does the government allows Bitcoin to be tackle in school?

• The government, at least here in my country is quite neutral about talks regarding crypto currencies at the moment. But to put it into curriculums in schools is a different story, while some may agree, most will disagree since this industry is still early and consists lots of conspiracies and variables that heightens risks. And yes, just as what I have mentioned on the first question, it is the same as investing topics on seminars. Not to mention the required resources to make this possible; both human and technological which is certainly not something my country right now can provide nor afford.

Does Education in Cryptocurrencies is the best way to avoid being scam?

• Of course it is. It is pretty obvious that you need knowledge and wisdom in anything you want to get yourself into to avoid always getting fcked all the time and win more instead. To succeed and excel in any chosen field of interest and endeavour of yours, you need to be resourceful. If you cannot find what you are looking for from one source, get it from another. Do not rely on just one source and be done with it, this is what makes people lose the chance to gain vital knowledge most of the time since they tend to close their minds to other possibilities just because of the norm. (Relying to much on knowledge provided by schools)

 - Only positive thing I see in cryptocurrencies being added in school curriculums are ease of access to fundamentals and publicity for this industry. Which are evidently something we all can live without since with a little effort, you can find good knowledge either paid or for free and in regards to publicity, we are already getting a good enough amount at the moment with all the ETFs and more.

On the other hand, if countries adapt crypto as a national currency, they will have to teach people how to use it.

I guess almost all school teach economics, but a different kind of economics. There are various forms for economies to be operated and depending on what the government wants their education system to teach people, they will put in on the agenda. Certainly in countries where power over the people is crucial to the government, Bitcoin will probably not be part of that agenda.

[carrigan]

I think that's not a bad idea. Students can have additional knowledge which is also able to increase their pocket money, so that it can be used as a side job while they are in school. Especially in the long term, this is also a good thing, some students may already be talented in investing so that having cryptocurrency in school can help them develop their talents to become investors. Successful and accomplished Bitcoin investors can certainly emerge with the existence of a crypto curriculum in schools.

[GeorgeJohn]

Regardless that government controls both primary level, secondary level and tertiary Level in educational systems of education, it's not quite clear that government will give cryptocurrency especially bitcoin to be part of school curriculum, because from my views it's obvious that it's a few government of a country that can accept cryptocurrency especially bitcoin to be one of their educational calendar or course in all ramifications of educational standard. I think it will be very difficult to implement such Generally.

[glendall]

What happens if Bitcoin will adapt in schools especially at the college level?

many things will happen if bitcoin enters college in my opinion , especially in the IT and computer fields .

Does the government allow Bitcoin to be handled in schools?
maybe yes, maybe not depending on which country adopts bitcoin as a means of payment, but  it doesn't exist in my country and maybe there will never be payments using bitcoin


Is Education in Cryptocurrency the best way to avoid scams?
Of course not because
I think fraud will always happen where fraudsters will always think how to find loopholes to cheat

[taufik123]

appropriate or not depends on the regulations in the government. Indeed, many apply cryptocurrency in the school curriculum, but it is only limited to basic knowledge and is in the economics curriculum.
Cryptocurrency and Blockchain are future technologies that must be learned from an early age so that students know and can adapt well.

In some developing countries the cryptocurrency curriculum is still a foreign curriculum and some of them are still unfamiliar with cryptocurrency.

Even if crypto is a good example to complement the main topic such as blockchain technology, the idea will not be exploited as a learning program in schools because the core and original environment is still the place where the school is most focused, there can be a lot of refinement and correction of the annual presentations but the original parts are kept and new topics are rarely added, they are afraid that students will have weird ideas and then abandon the class. Blockchain and crypto are still technologies outside of schools, automatic and adaptive are new skills that students will learn after completing all the courses in school

[kryptqnick]

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

Some countries are already working on school programs to add info about cryptos and blockchain, and I think lots of universities is many countries have at least some courses about it. As for scams, I think it's a big part that school education (at least, in my country) misses because we weren't told anything about scam, and people fall for scam very often in my country. But this should cover various schemes and not be limited to crypto cases.

What are the best for beginners between  Hodl and invest?

As for hodl and invest, I'm not sure which difference you're talking about because people invest in Bitcoin and then hodl, awaiting profits. And simply buying something and waiting is easier for beginners than trading, which requires more effort.

[anyelylanz]

I think that parents should also be educated, if we talk about schools at university level it is different.
For parents to know about cryptocurrencies would help to save for their children's future. Education about cryptocurrencies is a tool to prevent scams, because with the knowledge you can investigate the origin of some cryptocurrency. Recently many people were scammed with squid and many bought it but others investigated and found out it was a scam.
Definitely the blockchain is a technology that came to stay and at some point everything will be done through it, it is good that the new generations have knowledge.

[dothebeats]

Cryptocurrencies, IMO, should remain entangled on some economics and finance majors, and not be taught on all degrees/programs. While the intention is good, I don't think cryptocurrencies are that important to everyone right now, considering that some other key skills in adulting like filing taxes, 401ks, mortgages, basic investments, and all that stuff are still yet to be taught on higher education. The youth will learn more of these outside school as this generation is more inquisitive and tech savvy more than ever (although I have to admit that a lot are still, well, naive.)
