Educating yourself through research and books is necessary before you enter the market. It gives you a better chance at making the right move. Also, when it comes to investing in a coin, you need to do background checks and see if it’s worth holding the coin short term or long term.
Of course that's the initial stage for someone before going further in investing in crypto. I think we have passed that stage and now we are trying to design something important for other people who don't know crypto, especially Bitcoin, so the OP asked if it was time for crypto to be included in the education curriculum to be taught to the younger generation?
We consider that we need special awareness because incorporating it into the education curriculum is not as easy as one might imagine because people's awareness of crypto has not been fully accepted.
