Marketing is wide as a course and has different sub subject under it, from digital marketing, telemarketing, advertisements, branding and packing etc's .

Cryptocurrencies should be regareded as a course in marketing and taught in schools as a subject for marketing disciplines ,it will help build foundation and give a basic knowledge & understanding to the students and make everyone see how vulnerable cryptocurrencies have become.

Who do you mean by "should be regareded as a course"? governments? individuals? The international community? UNESCO? european training organization parents? the teachers? professors? the doctors? Elon Musk?
We are in a cryptocurrency forum and we all agree on that, but all we can do is invite local members of our community to vote to adopt laws that add articles related to inflation to classrooms and marketing workshops, with community awareness and try to open opportunities for dialogue about this and invite specialists to conduct seminars.

Yes it can be, or it will be in the future when there is enough people got into the relative field especially the cryptocurrency marketing but what it is going to be about? How to brand the new projects and selling it for millions?

I feel we should teach about the real finance to everyone in this world, I mean from the beginning stages of a kid like school itself which is more important for now people to understand about the reality behind Money.

My question is...  Why marketing?  I would think that cryptocurrencies would be far more at home in an economics or computer science course.  Even politics I could understand.  I'm not sure how much marketing has to do with Bitcoin's success though...  I think it has more to do with the brilliance of the blockchain being secured by a hashing function.

Maybe he comes from a company where the person works as a marketing manager, business analyst, financial advisor, cleaner and baker at the same time.

Cryptocurrencies have nothing to do with marketing. Maybe one would use bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, blockchain and some other words to gain attention from the audience but this can be taught from general widespread information.

Basics of cryptocurrencies, finances and economics should be taught at schools but the problem is:
1. No one is gonna do that
2. Teachers should be unbiased and open-minded.

I plan to get a master's degree in Finance but then I sit and think:
1. Do I like math that much?
2. Does it worth it to get into a university that only teaches you old-school finance and doesn't go deep into cryptocurrencies?

Cryptocurrency topic is very broad it encompasses everything related to money and investing it can be related to marketing in some way,  Cryptocurrency is online digital money so it should be taught under finances and investing I don't know how you relate this to marketing because marketing is all about promoting products or services.

But like what I posted it is very broad many industries already adopted Cryptocurrency, and maybe it should be taught in all subjects whether science, technology communication, or medicine because of the blockchain associated with Cryptocurrency.
No wonder it is easily adopted because it can be applied to everything.

Marketing means that one wants to sell things. Marketing is more like advertising. I think that it's an inappropriate section. I think that most need to understand money, not how to sell crypto.

So most of the people may need actual financial courses, not marketing. People would need to know how to handle better their money, no matter it's fiat or crypto. And this kind of courses are missing in most schools.
However, I think that even if this kind of courses would exist, they may be highly biased towards fiat and against crypto, since those teaching them would have a certain age (i.e. most not open to new) and a certain background/education (and I keep telling that people into finances/accountancy don't understand bitcoin).

Hence unless there's a teacher with a lot of willingness and open minded, this cannot bring anything good.
And such teachers do exist, but too few; @titular is one such example. He taught his students how to use Electrum and more: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5378518

Should it be in Economics or Bank and Finance?
When we talk of currency, its always going to be Finance but there is also Accounting. Blockchain is a new technology but since its related to database system, it could just be under this curriculum.

The schools in Argentina which were committed to educate students about Bitcoin was concentrated to Bitcoin alone. But they should also include blockchain as its the backbone of crypto. This isn't marketing but perhaps the project in Web3 could be related to marketing.

Crypto marketing is a thing that has been changing from time to time. Two years back Crypto marketing and the current Crypto marketing have been changed totally. It wouldn't be stuck in a single position. But I have to admit that a digital marketing course would help to understand Crypto marketing. But we couldn't expect an academic course for cryptocurrency marketing. Some freelancer organizations teach digital marketing and Crypto marketing from which we can learn and apply in real life.

Maybe it the area where it should be added is on finance since Bitcoin is form of money so I guess marketing is wrong place to be included because people will just have misconception towards their outlook towards bitcoin and instead they will think about that this is currency they will mislead to think that this is investment where there money possible can grow.

Bitcoin needs marketing but people needs to know its usage and purpose.

Marketing is a need in every sector. Software to hardware, business & job everywhere marketing is a need. Marketing is a complete platform and related to all other platforms. It has several tranches likely to you said here. Every single tranche has its own marketplace, where the marketer & consumer gather for own needs. For what, there are different course for different tranche.

I think you mean crypto marketing here, right?
There are huge courses about crypto marketing, you can see online. Also on YouTube you can see huge channels about crypto marketing.
It would be outstanding if crypto marketing would grant as a different subject in school. But it is only possible if the government grants crypto education. But at the same time, crypto is illegal in most of the country. So now we can only expect to legalize cryptocurrency around the world, then it would not be too surprising to see crypto school & universities.

I personally don't see why you would group cryptocurrencies under marketing, it would be better categorized under economics actually. Because categorizing it as marketing benefits only a limited use case of cryptocurrencies where you are figuring out how to get paid with them.
