I thought it was already introduced into the school curriculum and universities...

In some schools yes but not the majority because Only those develop countries that understand crypto are those offering the course so it means limited until now,But of course there are some online sites that offers also same education for interested people,some are free and some are with payments.

But i believe that sooner it will be open in most universities or even in secondary highschool as we are now getting closer to Computer world when everything relies in computer and man power only requires in limited occasions.

For bitcoin to be included in the school course curriculum, it needs to be first made legal by the countries. How can you include anything in the course which is not legal in most of the countries. In my country, some people are offering courses on blockchain or crypto trading but that is being done at a personal or private level. There is no official course launched by our government.

Addressing the future, cryptocurrency such as bitcoin should be taught in schools. This is why I did innovate a basic strategy as my research to used base numbers in cryptographic algorithm.

However, the computer is there to compute the numbers. But still, learners should be able to know the manual computation and how it increase and decrease according to its equivalent value.

In addition, this will make the new evolution of numbers of Mathematics.

I opened a similar topic some months ago, about this argument since I believe that anyone should receive education in blockchain and related technologies!
Let's see what happens in the next months/years, meanwhile some free courses are already offered in certain countries Cool

Blockchain and related technologies are the Future. Libra is just another confirmation for that theory (if needed), but for sure the biggest one we have ever seen in these days.

I think that Governments of developed Nations MUST add a blockchain course to the basic education of any Citizen... starting from elementary schools, and why not, with some basics concept also in nursery.

A young brain in it's primordial state is the base for any further development. Plus everyone should have this education, like an essential human right.

What do you think?

I disagree with making bitcoin and investing a subject. because in my experience, I don't see bitcoin with anything to learn. If we want to trade well in the crypto market, we should learn about the psychology of manipulators. then our predictions can be more true and make more money. And if you want to learn about blockchain, yes that's good if it can help the economy run faster.

I still have a doubt if school would allow cryptocurrency topic/subject in their curriculum since it is very volatile in terms of price movements. Perhaps they would allow some but not necessarily gonna apply it for the subject since it's a risky investment if someone falls for it without giving the full knowledge about of the market movements. But in terms of blockchain i guess school might allow that since it is part of the new technology.

hehe sorry, I mean that too, the blockchain technology is included in the school curriculum because now the blockchain technology is very attention-grabbing and so it is very appropriate to be a school learning

It's actually crypto that's very attention grabbing and not really blockchain technology. People are interested when you say $1 to $1000 in a few years. Or $1000 to $20k in one year for Bitcoin.

But tell them about sha-256 and cryptography and they just say, boring!

I would agree but certainly blockchain technology can be very useful if students learn it early or at least some background as to how this technology works. I can still recall during my HS days, we have elective courses and computer are one of them, it was early, back then computers are not what it is used to be.

So in essence, maybe students would have a have a good start with crypto/blockchain technology. And maybe in the future, this kind of education will become handy to them, not just the investment side of it, but the technology as well.

Never mind talking about the specifics of cryptography, most regular users like me wouldn't know how to get into it either (much as we don't know beyond http being the protocol for most of what we browse).

But you're absolutely right. Cryptocurrency's speculative potential is what grabs attention. People aren't as interested in sovereign money, deflationary models, all the stuff they should be teaching about Bitcoin in an economics class.

But maybe that's precisely why these subjects need to be taught in class so kids grow up wanting to use Bitcoin correctly.

56 percent of the world’s top 50 universities now offer at least one course on crypto or blockchain — up from 42 percent in 2018

Twice as many students report having taken a crypto or blockchain course than they did in 2018

Nearly 70 percent of crypto and blockchain classes are in departments outside of computer science, including law, the humanities, and economics

Early last year I presume, a small boy of 11 years old made a book about bitcoin: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/02/25/11-year-old-andrew-courey-wrote-a-book-on-bitcoin.html Which in other hand I believe people around the globe are getting familiar in crypto-currency. What we should face now its the younger generation coming, just like the little boy who wrote about bitcoin by giving them this opportunity I believe learning or knowing about cryptocurrency will go a long way.

Yeah right, learning about this industry will proceed and more and more people will engaged themselves to learn about crypto, with the example you provide as even a your boy creates his book to attract more your people around and start to learn more about this market. Exposures will be there
as we've seen the after effects of all those available information around the internet.

There are a lot of courses about blockchain and cryptocurrency in universities. I don't know if studying about crypto at school is a good idea, but every student can find free courses at educational portals like Coursera.

There's a lot of things that need to change when it comes to the education system, especially here in the United States. I didn't learn anything about money until I reached college, and even then, I wasn't taught a whole lot about how it worked or how to manage it. I think we've got a major issue when it comes to teaching actual real world skills inside our school systems, so something like this being part of an overall money discussion in school makes a ton of sense...but I won't hold my breath.

Many people are doing business with Bitcoin in many ways, many people are seen saying in their project, it will not happen through Bitcoin, it will happen through us, Bitcoin cannot give it, our project can give it, we are stronger than Bitcoin in many ways. ! How many say something, but is it true at all !? These are just some of the ways in which they can make money. Many people are trying to figure out what technology is like Bitcoin, but it hasn't happened yet. I think in today's world it would be better to have some educational subject about Bitcoin / crypto currency.

Bitcoin right now is really good if it is included in the school system but what makes me interested in this is the system of bitcoin, which is blockchain, because in my opinion blockchain must indeed be in subjects for future deepening

Schools are not going to rush into it yet. It’s going to take quite sometime before schools will start adding Blockchain and cryptocurrency to their syllabus of what students will have to learn.

Right now, anyone that’s looking to learn about Blockchain and cryptocurrency will have to make use of online courses like Coursera, Udemy and other similar platforms that teaches people about this. And the good thing about Coursera, EdX, and the rest of them is that once you have completed these courses you’re given a certificate and these certificates can be used to look for a job. So it’s really cool. LinkedIn has listed Blockchain as one of the most sought after skills in the industry, which means the demand for it will even grow further as time goes on.

Also it is worth to wonder if it is even worth to consider learning something like that at a school, bitcoin was born out of the effort of an individual just trying to create something for himself, why wait until something is taught in schools in order to learn it? Schools are fine if you want to learn things that do not change, like history, but when you are trying to learn something related to technology most of the time the knowledge you can get there is outdated, it is better to learn this on your own for free on the Internet.

Yeah, it's better like that. But also the country needs to support people who have studied cryptocurrency and blockchain knowledge such as providing a lot of blockchain-related or cryptocurrency-related jobs.

So there will be more motivation for people who want to learn it and also they won't waste their time.

But for high school where almost all the lessons are general knowledge, it would be better if the cryptocurrency and blockchain lessons only become extracurricular or additional lessons where students can have the choice to join or not.

Addressing the future, cryptocurrency such as bitcoin should be taught in schools. This is why I did innovate a basic strategy as my research to used base numbers in cryptographic algorithm.

However, the computer is there to compute the numbers. But still, learners should be able to know the manual computation and how it increase and decrease according to its equivalent value.

In addition, this will make the new evolution of numbers of Mathematics.

i think here- https://www.accounting-degree.org/college-cryptocurrency-blockchain-courses/ you will get the schools and universities that did blockchain and cryptocurrency courses. No need to say that cryptocurrency now worldwide spreading so that countries who still not connected trying to connect it because their people are connected in the mean time.

There was a thorough discussion about this before, and It was even discussed whether it would be taught in highschool, college course, or just a subject related to economics and computer science and studies.

Here's some of the few topics before.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cryptocurrency-to-be-taught-in-schools-5026312
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-in-high-school-syllabus-5198165

The idea of the introduction of cryptocurrency to schools is to primarily increase the adoption and awareness of other forms of the future of currency and payment methods. Also, to educate the younger generation on how they can take advantage of the blockchain tech feature.

This is a very good idea, and I support it 100%.

In the Philippines, there are a few universities who are implementing blockchain elective courses (De La Salle University, Far Eastern University, etc.). When my business colleagues and I conducted a cryptocurrency education seminar at a Philippine university, their dean is pushing to implement cryptocurrency and blockchain courses within their curriculum.

I honestly believe that by educating people about Bitcoin, they would no longer fed up with the media that BTC is a scam due to being misinformed. A lot of my friends told me to stay away from Bitcoin because it's a scam when I was still starting.

Because of believing in Bitcoin, they unfriended me and spread it to others that I am a scammer. I prove them wrong because of not stopping my advocacy and educating about the real use cases of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

Wow, this is great. I hope a lot of students did get the elective courses. Too bad I didn't get to choose a course about crypto when I was still in college. Your story is the perfect example of what I hate about the image of bitcoin. It is always being connected to scamming. They can't understand that it is just a small part of the industry. Scamming using fiat money is everywhere too. I don't know why those friends of yours will go to such extent just to prove to others that bitcoin is a scam. Did they lose a huge amount of bitcoin for it to hate it that way?

This kind of complex subject should be taught in college on specific technology-related courses. I'm opposed to teaching on lower education because some students aren't good and might not be interested in any stuff of technology. We have different learning styles, some aren't good at technology.

But I don't think it's appropriate to do bitcoin as a subject for those courses related to technology. In terms of bitcoin, they can be addressed in economics, since it's also somehow linked to the others, it's not too hard to grasp the sector. When we're talking about blockchain, it's a complex knowledge and a lot of programming skills are needed, but also not necessary. It can be discussed in the category of networks on the course topic of data communication since blockchain is just a kind of network.
