700 students are learning about Bitcoin in Indonesia

[X-ray]

All this education should be given to high school students because the topics being taught to students are not applicable to primary level students and they will not be able to gather any knowledge about Bitcoin. However, college and university level students can definitely gain knowledge about Bitcoin, overall use of Bitcoin, control strategy of Bitcoin in inflation, etc.

Here hoping they didn't teach about financial as of yet because primary level student aren't just suited for it but instead they talked about the technology behind bitcoin which is blockchain that can be revolutionary and that they can take a path towards being professional blockchain expert.

I think blockchain in itself is already such an interesting enough topic that it can be taught to primary level student alongside programming as a basic so that we'll see a more digitalized world in the future.

Nowadays, when it comes to bitcoin, most people only talk about finance, investment, even mainstream media or social networks talk about bitcoin as an investment. I hardly see any media talking about the technology behind bitcoin. I really doubt they teach bitcoin to elementary school kids but don't mention that bitcoin is an investment.

Blockchain is an interesting topic because it is considered the technology of the future but not everyone needs to learn it. I mean it would be great if it became part of the curriculum in high school or college instead of elementary school. At primary school age, children only need to know the basics, not complex technology or finance.

I’m really looking forward to the day bitcoin becomes part of the school curriculum. I believe many young people are eager to learn about it but need proper guidance. Teaching it in schools would be far better than relying on online lessons, where scams are all too common. The data shows that there’s a growing interest in bitcoin.

Some might say it’s risky, and they’re not wrong. But with the right knowledge, we can certainly manage that risk. That is why learning about bitcoin the right way is important, as it keeps us informed and in control of our decisions. Some have lost money, but that’s often due to a lack of understanding, but in the current situation, only an impatient person loses.

Better late than never, this is a good initiative and should be commended!!!

Next they need to have some kind of student exchange program so that they see much they have missed out about this technology and hopefully other schools, communities or even other countries can too use similar programs to get Bitcoin (cryptocurrencies) to be the talk of town.

This is indeed a win for Bitcoin.

With such a small number of students, it is difficult to call this a victory for Bitcoin. In El Salvador, it was accepted as a law, so what? Did it somehow affect the price or something else? No, everything is as if nothing happened. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the number of people who are ready and willing to study Bitcoin as a "phenomenon" in the modern world. I can only be happy for the students who were lucky enough to become part of this crypto world. I hope that in the near future they will contribute to the development of this direction.

It's the small things that make the difference,  number might be small but tomorrow these are the guys that will be on a salary and Bitcoin will be on their mind!!

El Salvador is a special case because alot to put into consideration,  their minimum wage for example, do they have funds to spare after all their expenses etcetera...let's not despise the little things

[Huppercase]

A foundation called Taruna Bakti in Bandung, Indonesia has taken the initiative to educate 700 secondary school students in Indonesian secondary schools about Bitcoin.  Maybe that's how Bitcoin is spreading to remote areas around the world.  If these students learn about Bitcoin from an early age, they will grow up to be much more experienced about Bitcoin. After gaining experience with Bitcoin, they can teach other people about Bitcoin.  

We have seen news in El Salvador that the President of that country, Nayib Bukele has taken various programs to educate school students in Bitcoin education to spread Bitcoin widely in their country even teaches Bitcoin to students there. This time Indonesia took the initiative.

This is commendable, it's part of the things we love to see about Bitcoin and not the buy low sell high all the time, given proper knowledge around Bitcoin builds up people about the true intentions of what Bitcoin is about and not the usual pump dump that the public knows about. However, don't think that all these children will buy Bitcoin, some of them will live everything you teach them right there the moment you leave that environment, kids will always be kids.

If Bitcoin education is allow in school, it will not help the people understand what Bitcoin is all about but will help protect people from what is been spread on the internet. The government oy fears around Bitcoin is because of the scams that are been done here, if the education is been passes, trust me the scam side will drastically drop because people will not fall for all this cheap scams again and social media will be free from any form of harms that will come to people.

It's quite surprising how they allow to teach about Bitcoin considering most people think it's high risk investment, not to mention the risk of fall to gambling.

WTF!

Gambling addiction does not depend on the type of currency, it does not matter if it is Fiat or crypto, then it is surprising that someone linked to the niche interprets it this way, just as some media outlets do when a criminal act occurs.

In add on point, any initiative to inform and provide knowledge is always welcome. Long live learning about bitcoin and long live those who have these ventures.

That's a welcome development. Although bitcoin has come to stay and bitcoin and or blockchain technology is too vast and need to be studied by the younger generation. Unlike most of us that learnt about bitcoin as an adult, so I prefer the younger ones to learn it from tender age because a time will come when bitcoin may become a legal tender in almost all the countries so it is good children start learning it now to be familiar with it. Mostly some asset that has been kept in bitcoin by parent need children to learn about bitcoin so that when those children are up to age, they can easily access their wealth stacked by their parents in bitcoin so that they will not miss their inheritance. Or expos their asset to unknown people for the sake of finding a way to access it.

I am happy for these guys and hope that they will find extra money that will allow them to invest in Bitcoin without changing their usual standard of living. After all, I know that students rarely have money. Knowledge of Bitcoin can change the lives of some of these guys. And maybe from acquaintances and I am glad that there are initiatives for public study of cryptocurrency issues. It is a pity that when I studied at the university no one taught us cryptocurrencies, but I think that there were no good experienced lecturers and plus it is unlikely that any of them would agree to this. After all, it is a big responsibility.

Yeah, what you described isn't tied up to crypto - it's an overall state of mind, so to speak.
And I agree with the second part of your post - as long as this initiative is sincere in its cause.

.The initiative to teach BTC in Indonesian secondary schools is a powerful step toward bridging the digital and financial knowledge gap. Educating these 700 students about BTC at an early age can create a ripple effect where they not only gain technical understanding but a financial innovation in their communities,.

It's a very good step Mate cause Bitcoin is concerning the future and it would be nice for those kids to have good knowledge about it at early stages against the future, it would help them avoid several errors when they're old enough to start investing on it, I wish I had gathered good knowledge about Bitcoin in the early stages, I knew about it but I didn't quit believe it would have such potential else I would've gathered more than enough coins as possible and would profited a lot right now, if I had held Bitcoin since 2017 till this moment maybe, just maybe I would been one of the big whales out there. The Indonesian government have pictured the power of Bitcoin and how it could be very beneficial to their economy so they've decided to pass knowledge about it to younger generations, it's the best step they've taken against the future and they'll never regret it, those kids would be very grateful to the present government when they're of age.

If such a school in Indonesia teaches children about Bitcoin, it is a great initiative, it must be welcomed by us, but one thing is that if children can seriously understand Bitcoin from an early age, it will improve a lot. Bitcoin is a very important topic so when children learn about Bitcoin they must be taught with awareness because on the one hand they need to be aware of the fact that there is a lot of risk with Bitcoin just as we can achieve a lot of success with Bitcoin. If we can teach Bitcoin with awareness to kids and also let them know that there is gem volatility about Bitcoin, the future will be much better for them to show enough interest about us. Many times it is seen that these young kids will not take Bitcoin so seriously because of their age. Now it is very important in sports bitcoin to see how much the kids can master, but of course it is a good thing if kids can learn bitcoin well from a young age. Will show interest in Bitcoin investment in the future, it will be seen that there will be a lot of financial gain through Bitcoin investment. If all the countries where bitcoin is legal can teach kids about bitcoin from school life like this, surely kids will be familiar with bitcoin. In countries where bitcoin is not legal, there will be no such opportunity.

[DiMarxist]

If Indonesia is a crypto friendly country then the 700 is not enough. But they most start from somewhere. And when Thai 700 are deducted then they will also educate others in the country and that is how cryptocurrency knowledge will be increasing across the country. But the first hand knowledge is the best and those who are teaching the 700 must be knowledgeable enough to teach the students. In my country I don't think government will do that. We have been hearing such educational programs from the government last year or before last year but at the end nothing happened and instead the government is busy fighting against cryptocurrency in the country.
But they should include cryptocurrency in their school calendar (curriculum) so that it will not be restricted only to the 700 but to every students in the country.

That's correct; those young children's minds are open to learning easily and sharply. However, the teacher went to sharpen it with the right education and teaching technique.

The children will be able to learn about crypto at large, having the opportunity that most of us didn't to learn about bitcoin during our junior school era, and if they are to be taught, the idea should be focused on how those things work and not how to invest in them at that early stage, as that might not be important to them.

What students learn is not only about investment, but how the bitcoin mechanism works and is used for a more advanced life, understood technologically so that technically understand how bitcoin works, in my opinion from the education that is done this is the most important, and investment is only a small part for students to understand because it is a different landscape, they are emphasized to learn the technology so that it can be studied and can be spread more easily and contain better innovations that can integrate life with bitcoin so that it is much simpler and easier for the general public to understand.

It is good to be educated in Bitcoin education, but I think it is at a certain age. Here we see that secondary school students are being educated in Bitcoin education. Secondary education is the level after completing primary. If students are educated in Bitcoin education at this time, I think their education will be greatly damaged. It is better to start from the college level to be educated in Bitcoin education. At that time, the education of students will not be much damaged because at that time every student understands what will be good and what will be bad. So I will not praise too much for being educated in Bitcoin education at a young age.

[Issa56]

With such a small number of students, it is difficult to call this a victory for Bitcoin.

Just that small students means a lot, you should know that it’s going to be a gradual process, even bitcoin started growing gradually. When bitcoin was created, just little people knew about it then, and most people won’t think bitcoin will be so great and popular today, so you might be seeing that they are just little students, but I am sure with time they are going to grow. You are suppose to encourage them, I wasn’t expecting you to even condemn the population.
 
We all know it’s not going to pump the bitcoin price, but we are already creating awareness, which is also important. The more people get to know about bitcoin, the more it keeps on growing, so even the small student means a lot when it comes to bitcoin development.

I agree with your thinking, I don't see any benefit in teaching bitcoin to secondary school students and it even does more harm than good as you say. We need to know that everything needs to be in order and sequence, we cannot force children to learn to run when they cannot even walk yet. That is why education is divided into primary, secondary and tertiary education, we cannot teach university programs to primary school students and vice versa. Likewise, bitcoin is not suitable for elementary/middle school students.

I'm guessing this is definitely a sponsored campaign and someone is using this campaign to promote their brand instead of focusing on educating students about bitcoin because they are targeting the wrong audience. Why not do this with college students?

No, what are you saying... No one is going to neglect the little things. I understand perfectly well the standard of living in El Salvador and this is the main problem. I don't think that the idea of ​​legalizing Bitcoin is good in this country. People can't afford to pay transfer fees. This really hits their pockets. Every cent counts. So all we can do is watch the situation. Although, lately I haven't seen any particular changes.

And of course, I'm very happy for the students. These are the people who will receive relevant knowledge in this area in addition to their basic education. This practice should become widespread.

Maybe you are right.
And even if it's done with such people (the education), it should be reshuffled accordingly to not cause harm, but just give some ideas to dig deeper by yourself afterward.
Overall, it was said many times in this thread that it all may be done to promote or not sincirely.
