Do you think attention is shifting from education to crypto

[Bigthraex]

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?

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?

If someone without proper education comes to trading in crypto just hoping to get rich, then it will be like gambling. He will hope to become rich like the people shown on social media, but at the end of the day he will get nothing. He will neither be educated nor will he be truly rich. But if there is proper knowledge, especially educational knowledge in various fields, then it is possible to move forward. Then the ability to judge right and wrong is created on him. A correct idea about what is good and what is bad is obtained. As a result, the possibility of loss is also less. People can learn to keep themselves away from shitcoin and risky trading in particular. As knowledge increases, the more thoughts will be formed to invest in the right place. At least for economic knowledge, one should study. If you understand economics well, you can also get a correct idea about Bitcoin. Then it is possible to understand the right aspects of investment. So at the end of the day, there is no alternative to education.

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.

[Cryptomultiplier]

The practical utility use case of cryptocurrency is one of the reasons why many individuals are leaning towards it to earn and a means to secure future wealth.

I can conclude from my own reasoning that education has rather shifted from attending institutions to acquire worthless certificates without job opportunities, to a more self directed, high stakes learning that involves mostly personal research and development both for those who are tech savvy and exposed to better online facilities and live within a tech savvy environment of like minds.

The first two lines of your post were enough to understand the gist of the post, so I didn't bother to read the entire post.

No matter how advanced the world and technology become, there will never be an alternative to formal education. Maybe the formal education system will continue to improve, but there will never be an alternative to formal education. Even with the increasing popularity of crypto, I don't see anyone who ignores formal education for crypto. Although I am not involved in formal education now, I gain knowledge from wherever I get the opportunity to gain knowledge, knowledge is always useful and teaches something new.

There is a misconception or tradition among us - we consider education as the basic thing to earn money. But we should not forget that education has nothing to do with earning money. There are thousands of ways to earn money, even if you are not educated in formal education, you can earn a lot of money. Education teaches you to be a human being and teaches you skills as well as morality. Education should be considered a means of acquiring knowledge.

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.

Education covers every area for me oo, I don't pin it down to just formal learning because them get informal way of learning too so educational has been since man was created because it's about the idea of learning new things whether through formal way or informal way, all na still learning so I believe that there is no way that learning can end or can be shifted to a particular area like cryptocurrency.

Education is the backbone of every nation. There is no substitute for education. The fact that you have opened a topic on this topic in this forum is also possible because of the education you have acquired. You have been able to write and post because of education. Whether the knowledge we have acquired, education or a bachelor's degree is useful in getting a job or not, at least it teaches us how to calculate money, write our name and understand the basic things.

Starting from basic knowledge, we can learn various important things in life only through education. How to follow the right path in life, how to maintain relationships with people - these are also things that education teaches us.

The importance of education is immense. Try to study a little, maybe it can become very important for your life.

• A doctor spends about 20 years of his life acquiring this knowledge on how to cure a sick person. Even a small mistake on their part can cost a person his life. Giving the wrong medicine can be very risky for the patient. Again, they can cure a dying person through their knowledge and skills.
• Engineers, especially structural engineers, design buildings in such a way that they can survive earthquakes. If they had not received education, would they have ever gained knowledge about these subjects?

Also, countless people are engaged in various professions through the education they have acquired. Therefore, education should never be neglected. An uneducated person is like a blind person. You have to believe whatever people say, because they will not have enough knowledge to judge good and bad.
Many people are earning from crypto and will continue to do so in the future. However, they are also able to earn because they have previously gained knowledge about crypto. It is true that crypto has become a source of income for many unemployed people, which is certainly a good thing. But it is absolutely wrong to compare education with crypto, because learning crypto also requires education.

Attention shifting to Crypto so do people still believe in education?

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.

[Fiasem20]

The importance of education can’t be underemphasize no matter what,most people are able to share their own opinion on this forum because of the level of education they attained.For instance,those that studied computer science in the higher institution wouldn’t find it difficult to understand the technical aspects of bitcoin and also those that studied political science would also find interest in sharing their knowledge in the politics board.So education actually plays a crucial role in everywhere we find ourselves.Despite the increased rate of individuals participating in the bitcoin community,a lot of individuals are still interested in going to school and attain a degree.

I agree with your point, especially where you said education should not only be seen as a way to make money. A lot of people now judge education based on income alone, which is why crypto and other online opportunities look more attractive because they can bring faster financial results. But education also builds reasoning, discipline, communication and the ability to understand the world better.

At the same time, I think the definition of education is expanding. Many people are no longer depending only on formal school systems to learn valuable skills. Crypto itself also requires education, because without knowledge, risk management and understanding of the market, many people lose money quickly. So rather than education losing value, people are now looking for more practical and flexible ways of learning alongside traditional education.

You highlighted on an important point. In countries where education is properly rewarded with opportunities, better living conditions, good salary, I don't think people there will question the value of education. But for 9ja, our case is different and the sad reality is that many graduates are struggling to find jobs and that is why many young people are drifting towards crypto and online businesses that seem to offer faster financial freedom.

However, I still believe the problem is not education itself but the system surrounding it. Education still gives knowledge, exposure and critical thinking, but when the economy cannot absorb graduates, people naturally begin to seek alternatives. That is why many now combine education with practical skills, tech or crypto, instead if depending on certificates alone.

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.

Your points are solid, I agree that education is in the center of everything people do and life in general.

My take is that the growing rapid interest in crypto is not necessarily replacing education, but rather changing how people see success and learning in today's digital world.

I don't think you understood my post. I did not make any final conclusion or claim based on statistics. It was an open discussion meant to get different opinions on whether people's attention is gradually shifting more towards crypto and digital opportunities compared to traditional education. You can also see I ended my post with a question and not a conclusion.

My take is rather than saying crypto is replacing education, it may be more accurate to say that education is evolving beyond the traditional classroom alone.

[Localhostspeed]

Honestly, Nigeria still value education. I know this is a Bitcoin forum, the sweet talk and all that but education is still one of the advantage every one has as a stepping stone with merit anywhere in thiw country. Unfortunately, there is no jobs to back it up but been educated doesn't limit you to one thing, there are many people that finish their first degree in Nigeria and has travel out to continue their school in other places, some people even went for better jobs.

Cryptocurrency is growing in Nigeria due to plenty of opportunities you can have in it and I can assure you that you can't be non educated person and think you will enjoy crypto. So education is still a priority to understand crypto. Nigeria is one of the countries that were reported to dominate crypto and as you know we Nigerians, we no dy carry last for anywhere opportunities dy, we dy represent so it's normal but education remain the best thing people don't joke around.

‎Education isn't just going to institutions to study a course, it's having knowledge of things and understanding how they work, either through school or self education. Because one can self educate into becoming a good reader and a good writer, mastering more educational methods so as to make progress in whatever they do, teaching themselves patience without going through an institution.

But then, it's not about institutions; it's about education. Crypto is not replacing education because even the founder is educated enough to go deeper in the science world to discover the code and the keys. Differentiating the private keys and the public keys and so on and creating a platform like this forum, this is what education is all about.

‎The world will continue to be advanced in cryptocurrency but can never suppress education. In Nigeria, many people see education, or rather higher institutions, as a waste of resources, which I think they're not, it's exposure and much more to it. Another thing you should understand is institutions will continue because it's not everyone that wants to be involved in coding or in this kind of crypto world, and we all can't just neglect institutions because we need them to survive.

Globally, education is still valid and there's no innovation that can sideline education completely because every innovation is a product of education. Sometimes we get carried away by the things we see online or get discouraged due bad governance, but still, education stands.

Cryptocurrency is a broad area and these cryptocurrencies were all created by the knowledge mostly gotten from education. So no matter the amount of money or progress you make from the influence of cryptocurrency, wisdom will always guide you against where others make mistakes. Education brings exposure and exposure allows you to understand cryptocurrency and bitcoin very well, so the two areas are distinct and irreplaceable.

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?

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.

True, alot of youths has seen that internet and phone can give or bring the quick money so school don't seems like the only way again for them. But let's not forget in a hurry that formal education do build discipline, foundation that can last for long term and thinking too, you see online money fit come fast fast but with lack of knowledge and skills that same money the way e go waka comot fir your hand self you no go know because the way e carry enter na the same way e go carry go too.

The best thing to do that will be in balance is to make education your base then you make use of crypto and internet as opportunity to use as support this way you can't depend on one path only

I just want to emphasis on this paragraphs I picked from all the long note you've written. Well in as much as education is concerned, it is the first priority of every human being which without it there is no cryptocurrency. One thing you will understand is that cryptocurrency works with educational expirence, which means without being educated you can't invest in Bitcoin. And if you do, it will be another person that will be in total control since you can't read to comprehend the risk involved, your privacy will be compromised. Although people are looking for fast way to make money and because of this, they can abandoned education, but I want you to know that Bitcoin investment is not that type of business or investment that doesn't require education. You must be educated to know Bitcoin. Let me ask you again, do you see a registered member of Bitcointalk without a basic knowledge of education? Because if it where do, this forum would have been crowded because I know many are willing to join but they don't have all it takes , that's educational expirence.
