Cryptocurrency must adapt in schools/colleges curriculum

[savetheFORUM]

For sure it’s possible for schools to teach their students about Bitcoin, but this is going to be in countries where Bitcoin is legal and not in places where it has been banned by the government. Because, if it is in a place where it has been banned, then anyone talking about it or teaching students about it is likely going to be having a problem with the government if they should find out about it.

As for countries where Bitcoin is legal, it wouldn't be bad for teachers to talk about it and explain what it is all about to their students and also encourage them to be part of it in future or now. And I strongly believe that there are lots of subjects or courses in schools where Bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole can easily fit in and be talked about.

Actually there are already schools or universities which does have included crypto into their curriculum but of course it wouldnt only be just talking mainly with Bitcoin but rather they would be emphasizing about blockchain technology.

Somehow if they wont really be that focusing that much with bitcoin well it doesnt matter because students would really be normally be heading
on where it do originated from and its inevitable for it not to be discussed or mentioned out.

So its up to them if they would go further and thats still a good news.

They are more on talking about blockchain technology and how it become useful these days but a little touch to cryptocurrency. I guess they are teaching step by step just to clearly understand how crypto works. Well, I like the idea for that and yet, we can't just rely on what we have learned from school as I know they are more ideas and information we've found on the internet coming from the most experienced individuals.

Having it part of the curriculum obviously gives a wide spread of information and so the adoption will follow as this has been guided and something to verify that this it really exist, not a scam that many people had think.

Acceptance and dissemination of knowledge of the field in educational settings remains a barrier. Because of the country-wide constraints on the righteous industry that make it unpopular, where I live I've heard of some universities accepting bitcoin as payment, but that's all relevant news that I heard with it. I have yet to see any related professions applied in schools, perhaps the less developed places will still take a long time to access bitcoin.

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.

Whole night I am thinking about this reading all your opinions in different perspective there's a negative and positive feedback about this. But I agree with you if school adopt Cryptocurrencies it must be a professional courses 4-5 years of study to become a cryptomaster. In Additional it's a beneficial to us to have a Bitcoin course cause we are now living in a modern world that are full of new things.

He's right cryptocurrency is not something you go learn in four or six months, cryptocurrency is broad with different area to learn . Cryptocurrency is not just about trading there are different aspect in cryptocurrency like the cryptocurrency technology and many more.

[peter0425]

This will bring light to all young generation specially nowadays that they are the most involved in computer generated system?
they can easily adopt in this process in which the technology is very commonly used by them.
also our children and grand children will benefit from this, they will progress cryptocurrency more than what we are doing now so yes i want this to be added in their curriculum .

[Blawpaw]

Well, not bad ideas, but there is a difference between your random thoughts and what is going to happen. I don't know if any crypto-friendly country like El Salvador is going to start teaching about cryptocurrencies in schools but in the vast majority of countries they are not. Forget about it. A lot of time will have to pass and a lot will have to change before primary school curricula will include those contents.

I can't say that I agree with you. I do believe that the time to introduce cryptocurrency in the study of economics is here. I think it would be an important aspect of modern economics that should be teached. It is almost like computer science and programming. In the 70\80s, there was no education program but considering that computing was the next logical step in human technical development it had to be disseminated and learning programs had to be developed and introduced in schools. This would help this new science to get into common knowledge. I guess with crypto, we will probably see the same as you cannot dissociate the IoT or even the metaverse from cryptos, and tokenization.

That's nice, but since these students are still learning, I don't think that these institutes are actually encouraging students to learn how to trade or do such activities at an early age but rather educating them early so that they have decent knowledge about crypto and how it works, then probably study a brief history on how even Bitcoin and cryptocurrency started from the bottom.

About being hacked, I think it's important for students to study about how to avoid getting hacked, learning the different attacks of hackers through the internet, it's mandatory for schools to teach that as technology and social media continues to rise, hackers will never stop, so this is an actual way on educating the students on how to take care of their accounts better.

Giving good education for young minds about cryptocurrency and how it works is a good thing to include in colleges curriculum knowing this will bring good future for them since digital technology continues to arise. But not literally that teachers should teach them how to trade successfully, maybe just an overview of a good trading can help students to sort it out in the future.

However, as technology arises, there are more scammers and hackers too have become visible and in order to stop this, then there should be no more fools to easily believe in what is too good to be true offers. If all people have become educated about this, then scamming may not be totally stop but it can be somehow lessen or minimized.

The anticipation of such a possible scenario, I guess that should be talked about and explained during their discussion. Being bold and close discussion towards crypto makes these young minds fully understand cryptocurrency and it helps to stop them from thinking negatively. And in fact, this is one reason why it should have to be taught and become a part of the curriculum for it will eliminate doubts and uncertainty. For they were clearly absurd the goodness and benefits of crypto, that could enlighten their mind and that also easier for them to teach others even their parents. Such a stepping stone to help spread information about crypto.

^ I like this idea, learn on cryptocurrency and avoid the possible hacks is that just a problem, this will not give a negative PR to the BTC and the cryptocurrencies itself so that people who want to have this asset will totally be protected. If ever this will be adopted on school soon, there should be a restriction that users should not be going to gamble, invest and staking or trading because that is risky, the best one is they know how to protect their against from the theft. Though this is not I think mandatory but at least it is always helpful to know while at easily estage.

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

More people will know about it, more people will know how it works, more people will start using it. This in return will help crypto currencies to become mainstream.

What are the best for beginners between  Hodl and invest?
-snip-.

Not sure what you mean over here. But Holding and investing are two different thing. You need to invest first, and then you can hold. How can you hold without even investing anything?

Does the government allows Bitcoin to be tackle in school?
-snip-

I don't see any reason why the government won't let schools or colleges teach their students about crypto currencies.

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

I have seen people that went to college and are stupid enough to fall for obvious stupid scams.

If there is one thing that is guaranteed, that is change. Change in a way that people are forced to adopt into a situation that will cater better to a certain aspect. Just to give you an example, when the pandemic hit, most businesses were caught off-guard and lots of them were not able to adjust on time which resulted to thousands to millions of dollars of loss. Cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, is believed to be the future of transactions in the near future.

Adopting cryptocurrency lessons and teachings onto schools can definitely be beneficial in the long run. But the problem that I see is the implementation since there are still countries who avoid transacting with such.

[bhooscream]

I think that parents should also be educated, if we talk about schools at university level it is different.

In what ways do you think can be an effective way to educate parents? In my opinion, educating parents will be more difficult than educating students. Students are mostly curious about something new and they can adapt well to technology. While parents are usually a bit hard to accept something new, they tend to avoid something speculative like crypto. Moreover, crypto isn't legal in all countries. They may think crypto is not a good thing.

[dimox]

it mean there is another person who learn deep inside, then developing, creating new branch for crypto, and more specific.

Cryptocurrencies, IMO, should remain entangled on some economics and finance majors, and not be taught on all degrees/programs.

agree. as far as i know, people will learn something new, faster, if they attract about what is it. and some school can give this knowledge but just for what crypto is. and people will find where to go if they want to learn it

[Olafimihan1986]

I believe learning is a continous process so incorporating cryptocurrency one of the newest and advanced technology into the educational system at an early stage/ age in schools or colleges will definitely help students to develop knowledge and interest about cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.

Well, i guess no schools would ever want to include crypto in their curriculum as long as the government does not allow it since it is not yet legalized and adopted. But for some countries who have been adopting crypto already, then you can expect that in the near future crypto will be included already in their school's curriculum as to aware students at their young age about crypto and how it is being beneficial in one's economy or let's say country's economy. And to think that is the future global currency, then its much more essential to be taught in schools so that students will be educated about crypto and not just on fiat alone.

[SmokerFace]

Yes, I agree with your idea. It should (Or I can say must) be adopted by the schools. But due to lack of knowledge, lots of people consider it a scam. Proper planning and litigation are mandatory for making it live for this level. Also, it may take a long time period for everyone to adopt it. Though we are living in modern ERA thoughts of people are still stereotyped.

[syedakhlaque]

It is a good proposal that cryptocurrency should be adapted in the school syllabus especially on the college level. It will enable the students to participate in home economics and train hemselves for earning. This will be a kind of professional education. which will not only provide them an opportunity to earn but also as a positive activity. particularly,young generation and women are eager to find such kind of job and learning opportunity that can add their family income.
