Cryptocurrency should be infused to academic systems

[suzanne5223]

Cryptocurrency and blockchain have been infused into the academic systems in the US and EU. Besides, some of the Universities that infused crypto and blockchain into their educational system offer online free courses. However, I never agree with the idea of cryptocurrency being adopted into the tender-age educational system.
I suggest adding C++ learning to the tender age school level which will help their brain and also serve as pre-preparation of them into the crypto and blockchain world.

According to a 2019 Coinbase report, 56% of top universities in the world have crypto classes. They surveyed 735 students ages 16 and older, finding a 6 percent uptick in student interest in crypto or blockchain coursework. One interesting thing they found about the study is the percent of crypto or blockchain classes not falling under the traditional computer-science label. Coinbase said 70 percent of these classes pertained to other departments – particularly finance, economics, law or engineering. So OP, you see the Universities are already at the forefront. Some time ago, some users on this forum shared their stories of teaching school kids about cryptocurrency and bitcoin in particular. I agree that this lessons should be done in structured manner.

It is not a bad idea including blockchain technology in school curricular activities but consideration should be taken and proper evaluation be done in the age of the learner in assimilating the knowledge of blockchain.
The kids or children if you may like can not be able to comprehend the dynamics of blockchain at their tender age though kids of this generation are much smarter but age factor should be considered as well. They can be enlightened about Blockchain and be given just the basic fundamentals of it but not digressing too much if it for their easy understanding.

The adults are matured enough to understand so they can be taught about blockchain. So therefore  here comes the building and working on knowledge. It is assumed adulthood starts from 18 so at that age one can be able to assimilate what ever they are being taught in school. This would be the right age to teach blockchain to them. Looking at the school aspect of it, let's say from the secondary level would be nice to start with as that would be the best point to start with.

Technology have got big role in keeping everything advancement. The education is the core that have changed the lifestyle and living situation of the people. This way education can be effectively used on the betterment of the society. However bitcoin into educational curriculum isn't needed for the small kids. Let them play the outdoor games and find new friends. At some point there'll be need of crypto education. By that time it can be done.

I think you are off a bit about giving the details since teaching the technology or about science might not be appropriate to the kids yet and that goes the same with the cryptocurrency. Kids and adults are different although if we talk about putting the cryptocurrency subject to the school it might not be helpful with them since cryptography isn't something they wanna learn but instead if school would teach them how to invest properly or trade it might be useful. I found the idea a bit not fitting if their point was to just teach how cryptocurrency works.

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. ~

No, you can't get kids from elementary school (even middle school) to learn the complexities of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. They better learn about the basics of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, language, and communication. Not everyone has to enter or understand how Blockchain technology is; some of them have to be doctors, pilots, chefs, farmers or even athletes.

But instead of put Blockchain and cryptocurrency into the academic systems; why not recommend online courses to them? There are many websites to learn Blockchain and cryptocurrencies such as Udemy, Decrypt, Blockchaininstitute, and others.

Look to the United States scores for math and reading comprehension- if you have not looked, they are dismal.  If they can not teach math or reading, forget about crypto.  But hey, at least the genderbread person is being crammed up everyones ass as they get dummed down.

It should also be made known that knowledge of Cryptocurrency is a form of empowerment to the young ones and adults.

Indeed, the knowledge of cryptocurrencies is an empowerment to who ever bears or acquires the knowledge, this is why I personally agree that it would bring great benefit to the society if bitcoin and blockchain can be taught in schools.

But on the other hand, there is no way Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can be officially taught in schools without approval from the government, and for this approval to happen, regulation must happen first.
This is my thought on this, I am open to to disagreements and arguments.
