Cryptocurrency should be infused to academic systems

[MainIbem]

It all relies on the country they are, from my point of view coupled with the max spread of cryptocurrency pupils already aware of it but should be a matter of paying more attention to develop the feeling to study more about the steps involved. Lets say, you and I weren't taught about it only from information we hear around and making use of our google to search and study, so is applicable to children nowadays as parents you owes the obligation to tutor and enlighten your kids about formation of cryptocurrencies we must not wait for government or educational system to start educating our kids about cryptos. What if your country or their countries ban anything related crypto how do you think kids and pupils would get to know of it?

[Franctoshi]

It's a good idea though, but I don't think it gonna be possible right now for University to start adopting and implement it in their educational system as it's still new. First of all, before this could be implemented, cryptocurrency must have been first adopted by various Government of the world and have been properly regulated by SEC or CFCT before we start talking about including cryptocurrency courses in academic curriculum or our educational system in various academic institution around the world.

[Smartvirus]

It would be very difficult or impossible to have the government of a nation have it in its school curriculum through through academic calendar, a system for which they don't fully believe in or support. How is that going to happen and what will that make the government. That theuvae fighting against cryptocurrency and still, they approve it to be taught in school for a course or need to know in education. I don't see that happening with cryptocurrency yet to have a foothold in the government itself.
It would have been a nice idea anyway and some crypto enthusiast on the forum are already carrying it out remotely.

Academic systems are developed in such a way to provide quality education through which students can have stability in life and better career opportunities. More the skills developed thyself will help them open more doors of opportunities. For now it is too early to make cryptocurrency education mandatory. For now crypto have got majority usage as an investment and trading asset than a real currency.

With time the increasing usage of cryptocurrency and acceptance will let the kids learn of their own. Just think of the traditional currency used. No one teach them how it need to be spend and used. Everything they learn out of their parents using it, same way usage of cryptocurrencies will be learnt by them.

It’s certainly a good start for cryptocurrency to be adopted and included in schools curriculum and will be taught in the innocent and young minds of the students. However, we cannot expect this to happen today without the support of the government. But hopefully in the future it will as cryptocurrency courses will be a great help for students to develop their early skills about money management and financial planning and giving them more knowledge and insights about blockhain that is very relevant today and in the years to come.

[Rengga Jati]

Ideally, yes, conditions like this should ideally occur in all countries.
But in reality? It won't be that easy.
There are many things that make cryptocurrencies accepted or not accepted, included or not included in the educational curriculum.
This will depend on the education system in a country and basically how cryptocurrency is viewed and legalized in that country.

In fact, crypto is one of the products of the times and technological developments, and we really need to build awareness of this development. However, the problem is that crypto itself has pros and cons in each country. So if it were to be incorporated into the educational curriculum, it would create some debate and possibly block agreement as well. Unless this becomes one of the materials and is taught in general only for initial knowledge, and is not the main focus of entry into the academic system, this is still possible. However, if it has to be included in the education system or curriculum as a whole, then in my opinion it will be very difficult to happen, especially in developing or underdeveloped countries.

There is another new similar topic about this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5416732.0

Members' on bitcointalk have discussed about this in that topic and i also think in many other topics that i don't know about, some have agreed and others have disagreed with reasons they think is correct, opening another similar topic of discussion is not going to get crypto 'infused' into the academic system, if you think it should be brought into the academic system then you should start making a move in your country, write to the appropriate organizations that are in control of making that kind of change, then you can post about the effort you have made to make crypto a part of academic discipline in your country.

Definitely I will write to the appropriate authorities and make moves to try to infuse cryptocurrency as a subject to be taught in schools.

Our schools here in Nigeria have curriculums and subjects that are irrelevant to us as students and even when we graduate from schools.

Cryptocurrency would be a good replacement to one of those subjects

[dansus021]

i dont know but the academic doesnt tell us about investing too. it would be great if crypto and trade become a subject in school or extracurricular in school

[Fundamentals Of]

When you speak of kids or children, how old are you referring to? Because if you are referring to small kids as in around 7 years old, how could they even appreciate cryptocurrency? Do they really care about cryptocurrency or even money? They probably don't. Some are proposing that but I don't agree. Teach them science, math, literature, etc instead. I think crypto should be taught to high school and college students. Spare the elementary pupils.

[Wexnident]

Idk, crypto sounds like it could fit in a few subjects, if it was as a method of payment then I don't think it's needed, pretty sure my school did not teach me how to use money. If it's integrated in the system people would naturally learn of it imo. I also doubt it could be taught as an investment since there are a LOT of investments out there, never seen a school teach about those. The development side might be interesting though it's rather specific ig? It's more like a project kind instead.

[Sarah Azhari]

Cryptocurrency should be adopted as a course of study in academic systems worldwide, from basic classes, through the higher institutions.
Cryptocurrency should be taught to little children at tender age and implemented/approved for basic transactions within academic environments to improve knowledge and usage, spread and utility of cryptocurrency to ensure safer and smarter transactions as well as to enlighten the students as kids and adults on the utility, conservation, spread and improvement of cryptocurrency.
It should also be made known that knowledge of Cryptocurrency is a form of empowerment to the young ones and adults.

I think it's not necessary, our child doesn't need to know much about cryptocurrency, it's not important. what they should know is basic, they don't need to learn calculus, physics, chemistry and etc, our child does need to learn basic mathematics; addition, multiplication and etc. So in this case, what should our child learn is Blockchain, not cryptocurrency.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

Childhood should be fund though, most parents wouldn't want to accept this but for the sake of the future, then they need be taught.

I seems not to understand this very statement of yours. Do you mean "fund" i.e money or "fun" i.e to play, because if it is to play then i think it is a basic necessity of every  child to play, but when it comes to money, it is the responsibility of parents to carter for that, but that doesn't mean they can learn even while they play. And in regards to the topic in question, i think it will be more better if children are educated about the basic knowledge of blockchain technology in general and not been only specific about Bitcoin, as that will serve as an edge into exploring more into the world of cryptocurrency.

While Cryptocurrencies/ Bitcoin are being taught in schools, Privacy also shouldn't be over looked at, Children should be taught in every possible way to keep and guard those seed phase.

That should not be directly specified within cryptocurrency specialization, instead, those kinds of things are basic digital literacy skills.

They must be taught to use digital tools yet understand the consequences if they use them without understanding full awareness within that kind of aspects. And to note, guarding seed phrase isn't merely on privacy sector but security. Generally, not everything must be related to cryptocurrencies, there is a basic skill that is essential, which has more urgency to be taught.

Yeah! the cryptocurrencies are too complex if you put them in today in school rather it should be just enough to have a course for whoever wants to learn it. More likely the children will just gonna get bored with it because they still don't understand it well. right now, it is not befitting for schools but good for colleges and some groups that wanted to further expand the popularity of cryptocurrencies, they can conduct free seminars and make them open to all.

First of all I would like to see what is money in the books instead of how great the cryptocurrency and decentralization.

In most places even the countries with high education standard don't have finance as a basic subject in the curriculum, all they tell us we should save money, get a good degree, get a better job then enjoy your retirement with the all savings but in reality no one can have millions in their account if they work and save.

The importance of investment and how to multiply the money,etc is more mandatory than teaching about Bitcoin.

I think today's children will be smarter to keep up with the times to learn about cryptocurrencies, just like digital money which is currently widely used in my country, without formal education many people can use it. I think because it can be used legally in a country, but I think what is taught in formal education is from a business perspective, because crypto can make money if we have knowledge about it

If every society can make use of it, this will be a very welcome development. However, people have diverse perspectives and are constantly looking for a way out of situations that will not be advantageous while also being outside of their control. Do you think that the use of cryptocurrencies has already been outlawed in many nations? If so, why do you suppose that is? And now since this should be emphasized in the curriculum of schools starting at a young age, they will also perceive it as a detrimental move toward what they were initially trying to avoid.

Why should we teach young people about a payment method at best, ponzi scheme at worst? Do we teach kids in school how to use PayPal? How to open a bank account? Why should crypto be treated differently?

I agree with you, but maybe in the event that it is branded as a Ponzi scheme, not real but fictitious, a tool for criminality, etc., educating students about it in school will significantly lessen the negative connotations attached to it by many people, and we'll witness a generation free from the belief that bitcoin is not a tool for bringing harm to society.

Absolutellly agree. In reality, there's already some academic courses on the blockchain technology. They are not specific to cryptocurrencies but the technology is already something that is bein thaught academically.  Check it here:

School just cannot explain what economy is to children, for 2 main reasons. First of all, if we knew how money works, then we wouldn't go to jobs and work for money, we would let the money work for us, the moment we have even just a little bit, we would all gang up and make it work for us, we have seen a similar situation with GME and wallstreebets.

However, there is also even a bigger thing which is the fact that if we knew how money works, then the rich people at the top cannot rule us, so they need us to not understand it and think it’s too risky to get in, but not doing it is even riskier because we live a poor life. So, education on economy can't be in schools to protect their investments.

The earlier the better,  the sooner btc becomes part of school curriculum the better it will help the younger generation to get to know btc from the very basics, develop interest towards it and build a career from it as well.
The popularity of btc keeps spreading so I don't see any reason why this should not be considered, it will benefits students alot, after all, the world is moving fast with technological advancement and btc adoption is inevitable.

[inthelongrun]

I heard that some countries already started infusing bitcoin and cryptocurrency into their education system. I read it also that Argentina and El Salvador are some of these countries. But I think there are already many new financial books that are used at school that included bitcoin and cryptocurrency in it. It may not be a course or a subject but it's becoming part of any financial books. In my country, our central bank ex-governor and our current secretary of Finance admitted how powerful cryptocurrencies are and that they will be the future.
