Teaching college students about Bitcoin

[Markinzo]

It's a wonderful job you have done and it's really encouraging cause the young really need to have a prior knowledge of bitcoin, for me this was the opportunity I never had growing up as a kid. And now I had to struggle so hard to devote myself to it's rudiments, a thing which if I had had the opportunity to know about while young it would have been easier for me now. But unfortunately at my young age bitcoin haven't been introduced.

Another thing I believe the young ones need to have a good knowledge about is ICT, for a good number of children in Africa have no computer literacy as a result of lack of access to it and that is why you see most of them don't even know that such word as BITCOIN does exist. Even an Android phone only a very few can afford.

So there's so much that needs to be done in bringing Bitcoin knowlege to those that are lacking in knowlege about it's existence and workings, especially to the young.

An idea exemplary by other universities, implementing Bitcoin as a scientific method among students is a relatively good thing to come.

It's only natural, especially in Africa, that Bitcoin is one of the assets that should be studied, Africa can be said to be a country that has a minimal economy than other countries, with the knowledge you have about Bitcoin, who knows it can generate ways to trade and invest to increase income for students.

You know, you give opportunities to those close to you, and it would be great if the people who understand the good sides of it also spread the knowledge that you have to others. The conditions may be difficult, but it is not a barrier to prevent people from having the opportunity to understand them better. I feel that those children are very lucky to have your help. By the way, I also want to share more about how the people I know who are wasting their time and knowledge on useless things, may soon change their mind about the knowledge they have to have a Life is easier with what you have.

You objective seems very nice and it has splendid future if you follow it until you get success at it. Bitcoin is definitely tech savy, something new and must be known by Gen Z considering the direction in which the world's moving. Yes, you will face unlimited challenges in the above objective considering our Governments are not fascinated by the concept of bitcoin. However, these are the faces of future, imagine if every youth is taught about the bitcoin then they are the one who will part of next Government system. Sounds like big plan for us, and it could really help shape the future world. Imagine slowly slowly all of them getting replaced with these Gen Z's whose all set for bitcoin acceptance, the worlds definitely gonna get Bitcoined!

About Bitcoin Bitcoin is very important to college students.You have done a very good job with this question. Many students are not able to study well due to financial problems. If those students are given ideas or taught about this bitcoin.Then all those students working on this bitcoin they can get back the success of their life. I think very few students know about Bitcoin.I think college students should take a class on Bitcoin so that they can work on Bitcoin very easily.

That's a very good idea to teach them about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as new technologies they should get familiar with it, The idea can be a great idea, especially for people when they are interested in learning new technologies. Regardless of that, I don't know if bitcoin is completely legal in Nigeria or not but you should consider any possible regulation issues from the government side. I also suggest you teach them in defferete levels if you have enough knowledge from basics to more complex and technical stuff which can be useful for them.

[TheGhostMan]

Undoubtedly a very good gesture, currently there are very few places that have implemented the study of cryptocurrencies in the learning of schools or universities. And this character on his own account has implemented this subject for his students... I can denote that they are high school students which is not bad at all since these young people are the future and if they learn as soon as possible it is much better since with time You will learn more and more and you will have a better handle on the subject and above all knowledge, since as they say out there "every day you learn something new". I wish that in our times I had met someone who explained to me everything I know today, it is not much but I am proud of it and above all I know that if these students take advantage of this opportunity that you offer them and put into practice the acquired knowledge, they will always thank you.

Teaching college students is one thing, but teaching older people would be even more beneficial, like classes on youtube and other course material websites are a lot more valuable. Because, someone who is 18 years old could care about it and listen and learn, but majority of college students do not really listen and learn these things. They end up just going to college for fun and they end up not doing anything regarding studying all that much.

This means that if they end up with something profitable for them, then they could end up with a big deal in the long run after a while. So just focus on people who are 30+ years old, who will actually listen and care.

There is nothing wrong if you teach older people about bitcoin but it will be very hard to convince them to start because they are brought up to understand the financial burden of government, even if you manage to Persuade them to invest, they wouldn't vibe it like the younger generation, the young ones are way more inquisitive to learning and smart.
They say the young ones are the leaders tomorrow, let them be the leaders of Bitcoin, let them embrace bitcoin now and grow to it, by the time they becomes use to it, they wouldn't rush to the banks like our parents did back over years till now.

The concept is good, and educating students at a young age is a smart idea that will provide background Bitcoin knowledge to college students. It's an excellent job, and I wish you the best of luck.

[sklopan]

I believe this is the right decision. It should be understood that in the case of literacy of students in this industry, there is immediately a possibility of obtaining a more positive result of work, and this is a definite plus.

Bitcoin can not support student that does not have money to continue school for moment only what Bitcoin can do to student who is ready to learn bitcoin is that they will learn and notice that their is way place you can invest that will give you encouragement for live, because students don't have money to start with, out of hundred student's it is like 10 student we be capable of having small funds for investment

This is so satisfying to read, keep up the good work OP.

I think giving information or lessons about cryptocurrency using these two media is very good because for sure when people who attend lessons on cryptocurrency on campus will try to find information on YouTube as well so that both offline and online media will make it easier for students or parents to catch information about cryptocurrencies. the results will be different when you only apply the lesson only for people to know or vice versa. So it would be great when both of them could understand the presentation given.

I think it would be a great step to educate college students about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It’s true that the crypto market is going a little down these days but it is here to stay. The financial lessons taught will help them obtain the basic bitcoin knowledge and make use of it when they are trading or investing in it. Early learning will surely help them overcome the barrier easily.

It's not about only Bitcoin and altcoins, but they can teach about overall asset/investment in economic subject. Not all college students do invest on Bitcoin or altcoins, maybe they're invest on other asset, or they might don't have idea with it so they didn't invest anything yet. However I don't think you can teach so many thing in economic, since it's about price related, while Bitcoin is mainly a new technology currency that can be discussed in technical/IT subject.

[evichi]

That was a unique effort towards the growth of Bitcoin. Your effort is commendable, it is an effort in the right direction. The basic knowledge is very important so that they can appreciate the technology behind Bitcoin. There is also need for them to know the real reason for Bitcoin invention, as well as government views (government of different countries) about Bitcoin. Another important aspect is on security in the cryptocurrency space. Too many scams online, etc. So when they come of age to invest or use Bitcoin, they should be aware of the associated risks in handling/ investing in Bitcoin and other digital currencies. I commend your efforts. Kudos.

[AakZaki]

a very good effort to introduce bitcoin to students, so they can know and be aware of advances in payment technology other than using Fiat.
Nowadays education is very easy to get, although in teaching what you do is very simple, this will certainly arouse their interest.
You will open the door to the future for them, by introducing bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and understanding Blockchain.

[DVlog]

Actually, it is hard to do this type of educational activity where BTC is illegal. Where I am living is not a very crypto-friendly place But I also hope I will arrange a seminar or meetup about BTC in my country one day.

What amazed me is those exam papers. They have used BTC-related questions there which means they also have discussed it in their classes with the students. That is something needed to spread awareness about BTC to our youth because they are going to lead this community in the future.

[Smartvirus]

You blur your image, can you do the same for those kids? They are still under their parents and I don't think you have the permission to publish their faces on the internet, Please blur it for their own privacy too.

Having this quote still in this way actually defeats your aim of safeguarding the children's identity/privacy. You might want to edit your quote as OP have effected your correction.

Mean while, I don't know if this was the best initiative as its got some biasness to it but, I hope the children don't get it wrong and see crypto for some easy way to be rich. There is a phrase that goes "catch them young". It's the way warlords in times past used in raising soldiers out of children and craft them to become so routeless and feared almost nothing. This is the sort of effect teaching cryptos to minors might result as, it would tend to be all they care about since its got monetary value attached. I hope that doesn't become the case as there are other aspects to life for them to look out for and gain knowledge on too.

In the end , you've done noble in ensuring they understand or at least get some knowledge of the opportunity in there environment and the true knowledge of what is reduced to a vice by ignorant and anticrypto people/organisations in the society. Keep it up.
