Do you think attention is shifting from education to crypto

Attention shifting to Crypto so do people still believe in education?
Attention is drifting fast towards crypto as the world evolves. Nowadays, young people make money online, social media, they trade and invest. Anybody with a phone and internet can earn in ways that education never promised. This brings about the question: do people still believe in formal education, or is it slowly losing its value?

You might as well paraphrase this title of your thread so it encompass all the other areas people are shifting interest to other than the formal educational system because crypto is just one of the several alternative that youths are going into.

The reason for this shift is basically because there's no improvement in the formal educational system even though the world is moving at a rather fast rate. Without serious improvement in the educational sector and technology continues to advance, people are going to seek for an alternative way of gaining knowledge and still earning though it and when you consider such alternative, technology related niche takes the lead. The only our conventional educational system won't go obsolete is that they key into the trend in tech and try to incorporate it into whatever they are doing. Without that, the desire to obtain formal educational will continue to drop down and down.

If attention is shifting from one point to another, then there's a reason for that, people lose interest in something for different reason and in the aspect of formal education, most people are complaining about the high rate of unemployment which is discouraging them from wanting to further their education, so instead, they are looking for a means to make money first and become stable before thinking of furthering their education. If things were right, quite a lot of people will consider education and any other thing they want to do.

Taking a critical look at this very topic, it is important to evaluate the roles education (formal education) plays in our daily life,  businesses. Investment and the economic growth of the society in general. Education is the building block and the solid foundation of everything that is existing in life today. Education provides us with the required knowledge, skills and experience we need to venture into any area of life, most especially Investment.

In the year 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto created bitcoin through the knowledge and information he acquired as a computer scientist, and his  expertise in cryptography and economics. This explains that cryptocurrency came to life through formal education and the involvement processes also requires a good knowledge of economics and risk management.

In summary I think attention is not shifting away from education to cryptocurrency , rather what happens in crypto involvement is the application of the ideas, knowledge and information gotten from education.

[Agbe]

We no go fit shift attention from education to crypto like dat. How e go be sef? If u no dey educated, how u want dey do cryptocurrency matter. U go lost am finish oh. Di matter how di education be we country, e dey important because na there we dey know many things to do even in di crypto world. Na cos education no dey provide good jobs to do needy nai make people dey say, education na scam.

[Majestic-milf]

It is only in Nigeria that people believe education is a waste of time and resources, because after graduating from a higher institution, even with a first class degree, you may still not be able to secure a job in Nigeria due to bad government. Thoss in power are more interested in embezzling money to enrich themselves and their household. They do not care about the well being of the people they are meant to represent in the government. It is only in Nigeria you will see master's degree holders riding okada. I am not saying that things are perfect in other countries, because every country has it's own ups and downs.

You no go blame anybody wey get that mentality say school nah scam for naija. Africa, and Nigeria as a matter of discourse, get the ability and skill to turn things around in terms of innovation, influx of job opportunities and even making the country a hub for outside investors to come in but in a country where the educational system nah whack, how these things wan dey achieved. This days nah those people wey just one get the degree to fulfill righteousness nah dey go or those wey get sponsors because the country don bad to the point say no matter the degree you get, e no go fit find you better work wey fit match with the rising cost of living so why people no go switch go crypto?
 Them say all die na die but if the people we y dey govern us na good people, crypto investment na wetin the citizens suppose dey use operate in addition to other businesses them dey do, all with the aim of facilitating growth for not only the individual but the nation as well.

Attention is drifting fast towards crypto as the world evolves. Nowadays, young people make money online, social media, they trade and invest. Anybody with a phone and internet can earn in ways that education never promised. This brings about the question: do people still believe in formal education, or is it slowly losing its value?

First, I think it's completely out of place to compare crypto to education because there is no way both are on the same category, education is a way to gain knowledge, while crypto is basically a way to make money..

One can be effective in crypto without gaining proper knowledge of how things work around here, and the ability to gain such understanding comes from being educated.
I have a friend (sorry to call him an illiterate) who is not educated, I mean he has never seen the four walls of a classroom, he is basically not menial jobs like moulding of building block, digging of suckaways, clearing of bushes and on, he saw that I am making money from crypto and showed interest, but unfortunately, he's lack of basic education has been a hindrance to him coming into this ecosystem.

Crypto can not replace education because in the end, you need to be educated to effectively understand what crypto is all about and how to make money from it, so those who are shifting their attention from education to focus on crypto are only deceiving themselves.

No matter how our education system has reduced to, in Nigeria ''no available jobs for graduates". That shouldn't be a yardstick for someone to think formal education is no longer necessary for someone to excel in whatever skills or business they pursue.

Take for instance, if we didn't have a formal education, what do you think would have been our fate in this forum? Do you think we can cope and fit, in the forum? Many people don't know the importance of formal education in their lives. They think it's about getting a job. They don't know it builds them intellectually, and they learn to communicate and develop new ideas/things

[Sammye3]

The knowledge of cryptocurrency is educative too, so you can't compare education to "education". If you mean education as "going to school" compared with the knowledge of crypto, I think they are two different things and the knowledge of crypto has no change with one's education.

Crypto trading is a skill acquired through constant study, lessons and practices and does not in any way affect anyone's education. You can take "tailoring" as an example; would it be reasonable to say that tailoring has shifted the attention of people from education? The answer is "NO" right? That same principle is applied for crypto as well.

I don't think it is so. Anyways, it may seem so because education does not guarantee you any special job immediately after graduation form school. And so, some people think or feel that education is scam. But that isn't the case. Education is still very important because without education, you can't be tagt active in the crypto space which we see as a making money tool.

You need knowledge to understand and grow. There are certain levels you cnt attain in the online space if you are not educated. You need to write, reply, analyse, think, respond, read, navigate, create, answer questions, ask questions, do research, document things and other whole lot of things, and without education, you can't achieve any of this. Even if you do, it will be very slow and not like someone with high quality education. People are going for crypto, yea, but they go there with education. So, education still holds it

[Mate2237]

There is this popular saying that education is scam in our country especially with the Gen z generation, because they have seen people make it big without education and without any formal levels of education in Nigeria. From what I have been able to understand in the Nigerian society is as far as you have the money to spend You are okay, and education is not needed this is the reason why a lot of people alot of young people have taken into crime and all manner of things just to make money.



But the facts still remains that education still remains the bedrock that anyone can build on in life. Yes it's true that the Nigerian society may not be supporting those who are educated in terms of giving them jobs but the place of education can't be overemphasized and thrown away. Imagine you going into crypto without having the basis rudiments to succeed in the crypto currency, so I don't think that attention is shifting from education to crypto but crypto is just a survival means people are running to.

I agree with your words. In fact, if the economic situation is not good, people's thoughts and consciousness revolve around money and income. Then education often seems like a waste of time to them. Then education seems like an obstacle to eliminating unemployment. Because at the age when it is necessary to receive proper education, one has to earn income and take responsibility. We see this in many families. one thing needs to be known, that is, without education, someone may be able to earn money through their physical labor, but if someone has proper knowledge and skills in their work, then they can earn money through their intelligence and important decisions without having to work too hard physically.

[Itz-prisigold]

I don't believe that crypto is making education less important,  but I do believe that more people are starting to become more interested and focused on financial freedom and practical skills. There are several aspects that make youth interested in crypto,  but one of the biggest is that they see opportunities that can transform their lives quicker than the traditional system. After being in school for years and struggling to find employment,  it's only natural that people's ideas of success change.

Meanwhile, many people don't realize the amount of learning that goes into crypto. The market is volatile and very risky, it's emotional and changes every given opportunity. Losses are basically unavoidable if there is no knowledge,  discipline and patience.  The same skills that people acquire at school are the skills that they need in crypto as well.

I believe the greatest benefit is to use a blended approach of formal education and the current  opportunities rather than choosing one over the other.

Not only in Nigeria do people believe that education is a waste of time and resources. It is not only in Nigeria that the rate of unemployment is high; there are many countries where unemployment rates are also high. I believe that in those countries, there will also be some people who think that education is a waste of time and resources.However, I believe that those who think education is a waste of time are mostly people who did not gain anything from their education. Education is not just about getting a certificate and securing a job; it also enlightens us in different ways that can help us in life. There are many things some people are doing today because they are educated. In fact, the way educated people think is often very different from the way illiterate people think. There is a clear difference between them.Despite the issue of unemployment in the country, there are some courses that, if studied at the university, will not take a long time before the graduates get jobs.

On what statistics did you get your conclusion? I need to know. Because last time I checked, education is still top-prioritized in the country.
 In addition, it doesnt make sense at all if there should be any comparison between crypto and education. To go far, especially in the technical aspect of crypto, you need to be good at basic education. I see crypto knowledge as a division of education, categorized under advanced technology. Meaning the crypto we are praising today is still under education.

For sure education has a better and longer role to play in every individuals and and also a working tools for a better use of cryptocurrency. Trading alone needs a lot of calculation that one without proper education might not be able to analyze it properly without  education. Education can't be over estimated by any one compared to crypto
Crypto is good and education is good as well, so we need to balance the both of them together to achieve the proper results from each other.

I think I would like go on your last two lines words Crypto is good and education is good as well, so we need to balance the both of them together to achieve the proper results from each other.but the bitter truth is that no matter how we school crypto…education has been there and it can not be replace it the end of the world if there is any thing like that

Well you are very correct when you made of the both can be half magical manged and it not going to be easy but I think education is going to need of their time  :)honestly I have seen people choose crypto over education in every thing we do you need wisdom from educational institutions and teachers for them..

In as much as I will like to agree with you on that I also want you to know that the same way most of our nigerians sees education as waste that's the same way that other countries sees it I mean most of their citizens. so this is not only happening in nigeria here, and the more reason why most people's sees education as waste is because they don't have enough money to train their children in higher institution it's just like when you don't have money for cloth and you see a cloth woman or cloth man passing by you might condemn it reason been that you can't afford it so that's how it is those that are rich don't see education as waste I see a lot of rich people enrolling their kids in higher institution.

[B-BossMan]

As much as I give much respect to cryptocurrency I place higher respect for education because without education even programmers won't be able to develop a coin before we have cryptocurrency.

Satoshi is a computer scientist which means he have education before creation of bitcoin, so is all others in the market,  there is always need for education at all level and time in cryptocurrency.

Even this forum is another educational resource, where we spend years learning and discussing cryptocurrency, but just an informal academic structure, this is why one needs to have gained formal education like a degree to properly fit in to the discussions that go on around here.

You are right about the important of education in cryptocurrency or Bitcoin rather, education and technology today always works along hands to hand and without having much knowledge there wouldn't be a programmer, the developers and also the cryptographers,, or the experienced computer scientist that would be capable of building something new. In fact without education and deep knowledge and research, Satoshi wouldn't have been able to creating bitcoin. So education is valued as well because it improves our reasoning, also a research ability and understanding of some settings and acquiring knowledge.

However, I kust say either education being acquired through classroom or seld education like many people here who learned many things about bitcoin with just reading and writing without going through classroom, example of it is this particular Forum. We discussed and learn at the same time here. So education also has is biggest role in cryptocurrency or Bitcoin.

[icebar]

Every person needs formal education. If a person is not educated, then he will not be able to adapt himself to technology. Moreover, he has to take this education for all his career development. This education is definitely needed to establish himself. If this education is thought to be only for earning money, it is wrong. Education can open all kinds of doors for a person. If a person does not have a little formal education, he will not be able to take crypto education. That is why he has to take education first, and then he can take different types of education, which will depend on his own needs and desires.

The importance of education has always been and will be. The more education a person has and if he can use that education well, then he will definitely be able to improve himself a lot through education. There is no comparison between this education and crypto education. A person cannot take crypto education, but if he does not have formal education, then he will be far behind. However, at present, crypto education is a technical education, if someone has it, then it will create a big advantage for him in the financial field.

Anybody with a phone and internet can earn in ways that education never promised. This brings about the question: do people still believe in formal education, or is it slowly losing its value?

One thing is that education provides structure, impacts discipline, and foundational knowledge that shapes long-term thinking and problem-solving. To become a Medical doctor, engineer, and lawyer you sell need serious and solid academic training that crypto cannot provide. Another thing is that, most graduates are job hunting and struggle to find jobs, while some people who trade and invest in crypto are earning much more without degrees. on the other hand, many graduates struggle to find jobs, .This gap is causing people to rethink the true value of spending years in school. Another perspective is that for one to be able to deal, trade and invest in crypto you need to acquire skills and knowledge of the market, risks and understand blockchain systems,  security and other fundamentals. Anyone who rushes into crypto without basic knowledge will suffer losses. This leads to an important question: are people truly disregarding education, or are they shifting toward a more practical, faster, and independent way of learning?. Another important factor is mindset. School will teach you patience and you will have to study for a few years to graduate and find a job to get rewards. But with crypto you can get quick results compared to the years of studying and getting a job. This changes how people see success. People take opportunities that reward quick thinking and good decisions. The reality is that we don't have to pick one over the other.we can do both by studying in school to be educated and get the basics and necessary knowledge while also, learning, trading and investing in crypto and seizing opportunities in the crypto. So the real question is: is education losing its importance, or is it simply changing with the growth of crypto?

‎Many people think that Bitcoin is an easy way to get Rich quickly but children should be made to know that it is not only becoming rich quality they should transfer money and know about technology children she also be made to under that it is important for them never to share their personal information they are not to Told any one about their password and personal details they should know that they are many people who are scams and theirs online and they make use if such details to sted money they must be very careful before trusting anybody with such informat

[Soldroplet]

Crypto cannot be compared with education. Because, education is the foundation of humanity. If a student runs after cryptocurrencies without studying, then his success will never come. Because crypto does not work on assumptions, but one must have intelligence, patience, and knowledge. Otherwise, it can be risky for his future. Crypto education is very good, but to learn it, education and knowledge are definitely required.
For example: If you give importance to education and then come to crypto, then you can gain good skills about blockchain, bitcoin, economics, and cyber security.

[Zigabel]

A lot of persons are beginning to adopt and explore Bitcoin as a means of making money, either by trading, investing or other means and some have even gone a step ahead to use  other Altcoins not just Bitcoin and in all that they have been able  to come up with, the attention has not gone away from education and cannot go away from education, to even be clear, without education there will be no cryptocurrency, the foundation of the knowledge for the innovation of cryptocurrency is built on education.

Defining education at this point is important, maybe OP should  have been specific and that would have helped a lot because education cuts across a wide range of spheres.  No be only  skl be education oh, some kain way of learning na still education, to even come out go learn only crypto na way of education too, so e co depends if na skl u dey talk about, we fit say enh some pipo no wan send skl again but dem still dey follow up d education for different pattern.

Make nobody whine you, you need education to fit do anything, either na formal or informal education, you need am to fit develop sability for any kain hustle, because na wetin u don sabi naim u go use hustle, u no fit do any kain hustle wey be say dem never teach u anything about am, dat teaching wey be say dem go dey teach u, na education be dat.
