Crypto Currency should be Integrated into School Curriculum

[Lordsilvabtc]

After reading so many theories, Analysis and the powers of crypto currency in a nation's economy, the greater impact it will bring to developed and fast developing countries. I began to wonder why is crypto currency not accepted in some area's and organization of the world, can we characterized this as lack of information, and awareness to the people. If this be the case, Can we find a way to adopted Crypto Currency as a Subject and integrate it into our school curriculum, or better still as topic and integrate it into Economy's. This has been on my mind, And I honestly need your contribution and your thoughts towards this. I honestly think crypto currency, BTC and ETH for example. Should be adopted globally and accepted by everyone. Thanks

Why should it? Finance (and probably investing in general?) is a far better and far more important subject. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are just a subsection of the broader topic that is investing.

[Eternad]

Including it on curriculum will just make young minds exposed on high risk investment. This should be teach only on advance course but not cryptocurrency but rather the use of blockchain because that is what important technology that needs to learn and not cryptocurrency in general since it will more focus on price discussion rather than technicalities.

You are not alone in your desire to spread the word about bitcoin, starting with your school education, but unfortunately, not everyone agrees with you. I think you understand that to make such decisions, bitcoin must be legalized as a subject of education and recognized by countries. Do you see something similar? We can only hope for the future, but I'm not sure that this can happen shortly.
But no one forbids you from teaching and disseminating information about bitcoin among your friends.

[Iroh]

I for one would love to see bitcoin get adopted worldwide. But I think there are far more important things to add to a school curriculum than cryptocurrencies. Entrepreneurship and perhaps some sort of skill acquisition and or training programs would be nice.

I do not think any government would ever include cryptocurrencies into its school curriculum. That’s something you would have to learn away from the classroom.

Can we find a way to adopted Crypto Currency as a Subject and integrate it into our school curriculum, or better still as topic and integrate it into Economy's. This has been on my mind

Let's take it a step at a time. Mass adoption and acceptability should be much more of a major concern now than asking for cryptocurrency to be made a subject in the school curriculum. It will be a tall order anyway, considering what challenges cryptocurrencies are facing at this time. We're faced with rejection here and there, coupled with bans from various governments of the world ATM. It will make more sense if we're looking at cryptocurrency being included as a topic in Economics or Finance rather than as a subject on its own. To kick start this, I think countries with well structured educational system should lead the way on this.

[EarnOnVictor]

You have a perfect point and prospect, but cryptocurrency is still young, it is still looking for survival through more adoptions by people and the government. When it has been well adopted by over 50% of the world's population and government, this kind of view could be raised more often with more appreciation following it.

For now, we should be trying our parts by introducing it to our family members, friends, business associates, the companies we work, the school we teach and all that. These are the ways that we could set the fire burning, and with time, who knows? Crypto might surpass your dreams/wishes.

[Marykeller]

The only time, I think crypto will be adopted into the school curriculum is when the awareness of crypto has been widely spread globally. Countries are beginning to feel the impact of crypto in society. Starting to use crypto in their daily activities. Globally, we are yet to utilize the potential of crypto projects in our lives other than to invest in them and make profits.

Actually it has really happened^[1][2] in the last few years, don't know how it has progressed.

I don't know where you read all these, but cryptocurrencies barely has any power in a state's economy, right now every state in the world is faced with inflation as a serious problem, in addition to other economic problems, and crypto is not their solution

I began to wonder why is crypto currency not accepted in some area's and organization of the world, can we characterized this as lack of information, and awareness to the people.

Cryptocurrencies are accepted, traded and used as an investment in many states and organizations of the world, even many businesses accept it too, or are you talking about it being made a legal tender? That is a different thing to it being "accepted".

If this be the case, Can we find a way to adopted Crypto Currency as a Subject and integrate it into our school curriculum, or better still as topic and integrate it into Economy's.

I don't think schools will ever support or see the need for this proposition, and if this has never been tried before we can't be sure of the success, so for people that want this, they can teach their kids about it at home.

I honestly think crypto currency, BTC and ETH for example. Should be adopted globally and accepted by everyone. Thanks

BTC is a global currency already, it can't be adopted by everyone but mass adoption is possible in the long term.

If it's not part of economy, it's never gonna be part of school curriculum.

Agree with this since early teaching then with high risk investment maybe can result something bad or they might get wrong impression towards what people teaching them. Much better if they teach this lesson on seniors or maybe in collage since people at this age are maybe focus to learn something new. This should be added since technology and finance is evolving so that new generations will not be illiterate on new evolving industry.

School? It's like opening schools where you teach people only how to make money, its never going to work and the government will be on your ass ASAP, crypto can't be teach in schools you want to ruin all the government plans    , if you feel like someone have to do this then nothing should be stopping you, do some gathering in your home town first and teach people about crypto, this is a better approach.

[Pmalek]

Cryptocurrency is too wide of a subject field, and adding all of it to a school curriculum would mean teaching children about scams and schemes how to get rick quickly. Bitcoin and blockchain on the other hand is something that could be taught at University level, for example. 

But we are far from having any of that on a global scale. Not when we have presidential decrees aiming to change a decentralized and censorship-resistant blockchain into something controlled by selected government agencies. Since that won't work, the next best thing from their perspective is a CBDC and hopefully no attempts to ban that what they cannot control.

[Luzin]

Technologically they like but control they hate. Yes it is the government, which does not want to lose control. But blockchain technology has inspired and proven many Banks that started making CBDC, including my country. They have made blue print plans but there has been no realization.
If you look at this effect, of course, including crypto in education is a step forward. It seems like my country has had some that provide defense at the college level. But for now Crypto is synonymous with currencies and is widely banned by the world bank hence it seems that we have to be patient for more developments.

[Issa56]

That's a brilliant idea to adopt cryptocurrency in school curriculum, but I don't think most government will want to do that since most of them are against cryptocurrency for now, since they don't have control over it. The only school that can adopt cryptocurrency in their school curriculum are schools that cryptocurrency is legal in the country, but the countries that already ban bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general, then it won't be possible. Before any course can be added to a school curriculum, the Couse have to be approved by the government, since most countries are tagging bitcoin with bad things so they won't add it, but I know it might just take time but they won't have choice than to accept bitcoin.

The government will add a curriculum to schools if the crypto adoption factor is legal based on regulations, but for countries that prohibit crypto activities it will be difficult to add crypto education to the school curriculum, but every country certainly has a crypto community so crypto education will still be spread even though it has limitations due to conflict with government regulations

I don't think governments in the global system will allow it because they even hate cryptocurrency talking of accept it. Yes it is a good thing to adopt bitcoin in a nation curriculum but the problem is the authorities. what kind of organization are you referring to? there are a lot of organizations that have adopted bitcoin but the problem is the government institutions (schools). I believed if cryptocurrency will be accepted in schools it can be found in computer studies and economics.


cryptocurrency should be a subject on it own not a topic under another subject because cryptocurrency is broad. You can not force everyone to do cryptocurrency so I prefer it to be as an elective subject or course.

[qwertyup23]

I do think that as a stand-alone subject, it would be relatively difficult to teach about BTC in the school curriculum. It must be integrated and explained by applying it in our current financial and economics for easier visualization and application. I also do think that an elective as a college class would be a great idea, given the fact that lots of students are now curious about knowing and understanding the fundamentals of BTC and its effects.

I just hope that the government would allow it to be integrated into our school curriculum without any repercussions. Lots of countries nowadays have started this movement and I hope that they do it soon.

[Oceat]

I always find why they don't want to include such as how investment or making money/entrepreneurship in school curriculum so that everyone could have a basic knows about the market. And crypto currency is just new to them since it was just started at 2009 and it was not that famous yet until the price show a great potential.

Perhaps they don't find any relevance to this applying to the school curriculum but if they could include some subjects that aren't useful after you graduated at school then they should somehow include basic economics and crypto currency subjects since it's a thing now especially the crypto currency.
