Question - Do you think Bitcoin should be made a core subject in our schools?

It won't be bad if bitcoin becomes a subject in our school, but if bitcoin becomes a subject in school it should not be a compulsory subject rather a subject that students would choose by choice because when bitcoin is forced on people their is nothing positive that can be achieved. Left for me alone I don't think it is very important for school to make bitcoin a subject because I feel people needs to learn basic arithmetic and economics to understand what is money and how to manage money. Bitcoin is very common for someone to learn, it is easy to get understanding of bitcoin even without going to school.

Whether bitcoin becomes a subject in school or not people will still get to know it more and people will still try their best to understand it well, making a subject in school won't change anything.

All good if the teacher discussing that have proper knowledge about bitcoin and can explain well every topic that needed to discuss. But if the teacher doesn't have a experience and they are only basing their teachings on the books they read then maybe we can't see any good effects for young individual to gain in that cases.

So to make everything works well then I guess it also need proper training for educators so that they would not miss those critical information need to discuss and they don't do any short cut on teaching so the children listening it could fully understand on what they are discussing. This is really a good initiative to be added and for adding bitcoin learnings on school can increase something awareness of people that bitcoin exist and they can gain a good opportunity if they eager to enter in the industry and try to find something that they can take advantage on.

Good idea, at least it's better than LGBT subject.

There's no limit for teachers to teach their children, Bitcoin is one among many legit investments that people can choose, so if they interested with Bitcoin, they will buy it and able to grow their money.

There are many unimportant subjects that been taught in school, if those unimportant subjects always been taught, Bitcoin should get it's own place too.

Do not discriminate or underrate the potentials of what's being thought in the schools. It doesn't matter if the knowledge of the days at schools is being recycled.
Op, you must understand that there's a great height of importance about recalling histories that people of the next generations are deemed to be aware about. Yes no all past events are worth trashing just because there's a trending even.
The above of financial policies of management, economy and investments aren't limited of being thought in the schools and it's not affordable to about them for other trending reasons.

Bitcoin as a core field of studies in the school is a good idea but right in the currently World of today where the government who oversees the academies in both private and government institutions wouldn't let that come through when they already find bitcoin as a core Crypto currency of being a threat to their self interest in the global economy attributes due the fact that it's a non custodian financial system.
I don't see that accreditation happening soon with the current generational governments. Maybe that'd happen if the next generations would have that positive impacts to respect personal opinions and embracing Privacies unlike the current generation does.

Try to fit all crypto and blockchain into a Bitcoin-only class. That limits us, guy. This technology is transforming how we view money, the internet, and the system! Zoom out and teach kids the larger picture. Decentralization, currencies, and digital privacy are covered. This is about giving our students the mental tools to thrive in a world that's changing quicker than we think, not only investing.

Teaching the full system generates thinkers, not simply Bitcoin traders. The world requires adaptable, connected people. This comprehensive understanding will help pupils grasp how crypto affects global economies and possibly future governments. This generation may shape tech, not simply use it! We do more than teach children about money; we empower them to improve their future.

Question - Do you think Bitcoin should be made a core subject in our schools?

Where you taught Bitcoin in school before you were able to have the knowledge about Bitcoin investment?

There are millions of people who are Bitcoin investors and yet they did not learn about Bitcoin in any school institutions. Why should Bitcoin be included as a core subject in the schools where there are important course they must learn about. There is financial accounting, economic management, Business studies and so many other course to be learned about and not learning Bitcoin in school.

I don't think that is necessary at all, after all, school is a place for children to build their bases for what they will do in the future, and Bitcoin as a core subject will be totally irrelevant. Investment assets or technological advancements aren't things to be taught to children in school, as said by some other members, it's better if they are taught basic economics and the basics of financial management, etc. With that, they can grasp the idea of how they can manage their finances when they grow up, and it should only be very basic to not cloud their minds and make them confused.

Making Bitcoin a core subject would take it too far and I find that to be completely unnecessary. Let children grow up before introducing them to things that they wouldn't be using at that age, teaching them about Bitcoin wouldn't make much sense because when they grow up, if they have any interest in such things, they can always learn about them, but at school level, they are supposed to be learning things that they are going to need in the near future.

Question - Do you think Bitcoin should be made a core subject in our schools?

This might be a little controversial especially in a place such as bitcoinforum but my answer is actually no. When you say core subject it means it is a course that is taught to all students no matter the age or whatever they are pursuing.

I don't think it is completely necessary to make a whole subject about Bitcoin itself. I don't think all kids would be able to understand all the complexities of bitcoin let alone be interested. I have no problem about teaching Bitcoin to students but having a whole separate subject just for itself might be too much. Instead I think Bitcoin or crypto can be part of stem sector as it has something to do with mathematics and technology.

Honestly, Bitcoin is great but schools are better off teaching basic finance in general, rather than skipping all that and jumping into Bitcoin/crypto. Most people don't even know how to actually save money in the first place, and we're immediately introducing Bitcoin to them? Teaching students finance is far more important.

I thought as much as you, but I still proceeded to see a school owner about teaching Bitcoin to their students, I don't think it is a bad idea because secondary school students are already into frauds and online scamming, some are just waiting to get school over with and fully embark on their scam journey.

I am going in to give them hope, that scamming isn't the only way, the country is in a mess, to be honest, fathers and mothers did all they could to send their children to school and they lost a leg doing so, but when the kids are through with school they can't even buy the parents a walking stick, it is ridiculous.

Still, I don't encourage hurting another human being for a living, it is wrong, so it is better to give them hope, crypto has changed the lives of many in my country, but some people still believe that there is nothing out there that can save them than to scam people.

This topic has been discussed many times on the forum and there are many mixed opinions. For me, I think this is a bad idea because after all, bitcoin is used for investment just like other assets like gold, stocks...and why aren't there any offers for gold or stocks like Apocollapse said?

Why should no topics about financial management or blockchain technology be included in education, only bitcoin? While bitcoin is not something everyone needs. OP, don't forget that many people in the world don't need to know what bitcoin is and they are still having a better life than you and me.

You even give the idea of a basic introduction to bitcoin investing for students, which is honestly the worst idea I've ever seen. And this shows that you only view bitcoin as an asset for speculation, you have never considered it a financial revolution and promoted this revolution.

For now the world is still controversial and skeptical about bitcoin so many will not like to include bitcoin in their curriculum but as time goes and years to come, bitcoin will on it own will included to the curriculum without stress. And for now I don't think it is a good idea but you can only discuss with the education management to teach bitcoin in the scheme of work. Because since it is not in the curriculum for now it can't be teach generally. But a volunteer lesson note.

And also depends on the country if the country loves cryptocurrency then you can and it is a good idea but if the country is not a cryptocurrency friendly then I advise you not to include it.

Is there any hindrance to this idea?
Ideas like this might sound good to some while not the same to others. Certainly, I think the government might be the number one hindrance to such ideas, as they would keep feeding the minds of every generation with corrupted banks and financial institutions, making every generation believe that only banks and financial institutions are the places worth leaving our money.

In addition, when every generation keeps using fiat currency, it would be very easy for financial institutions to print excessive money for their own selfish interests. So I think those in power might be a significant setback we might face in many countries.

This sounds like a conspiracy theory. Everything is much simpler and this is what it looks like depending on the country.

Any school has a training program drawn up and certified by a higher authority (in fact, government bodies). Therefore, changing the school curriculum is possible only with their consent. Given the non-acceptance and denial of bitcoin by government, adding (formal) training on the basics of using bitcoin is unlikely. I believe this will require going through 9 circles of bureaucratic hell.

On the other hand, why do you need school to learn the basics about bitcoin? No one and nothing can interfere with your self-education.

Bitcoin as a subject is not gonna happen. The reason is pretty simple for this. Due to the decentralised nature of the coins, Bitcoins are cannot be controlled by the government. We know that the government runs the schools. Hence it likely not possible for them to promote such an asset which they cannot control or impose tax. Hence this is practically not possible currently. Yes in many colleges still they teach about blockchain and cryptography.

Economy class in primary school would be enough but government don't want smart people but hard working people and that's why instead of economy class you'll get some religion hour or other nonsense.

Gold exist since long time ago, why there are no school taught their children how to buy and sell gold, how to check authenticity of the gold, how to store it, how to calculate the tax etc?

Stock also exist since long time ago, why there are no school taught their children how to buy and sell stock, which broker to use, how to choose the good stock, how to trade etc?

I don't understand with someone who're really trying to brainwash people to buy Bitcoin, when there have been many assets that also profitable and they didn't even force people to buy it.

It is due to the delusion of some bitcoin investors, just because bitcoin brings them a little profit and their lives gradually get better. They gradually become delusional and consider bitcoin more than a god, they make proposals about bitcoin that cannot be more crazy. Bitcoin should be introduced into education, bitcoin should be applied to the economy to eradicate poverty, reduce unemployment, bring peace to the world through transparency...So many crazy ideas that I really don't know how they can come up with them when they don't even know anything about the education industry, how the economy works. We are just bitcoin investors, not economic advisors, financial experts or education ministers.

Bitcoin is truly an investment, an asset, and money. Nothing more, nothing less, but many people are too delusional and spread too much false information about it.

The educational system now resembles more of a cycle, where knowledge is being recycled in the minds of the younger generation. When we examine certain aspects of this sector, we realize that we are essentially being taught the same things repeatedly. Some of these concepts are quite important, especially when we choose a career path at an early stage, while others are not necessarily meaningful.

The educational curriculum is dynamic. In countries with a functional education system, the content of the curriculum is reviewed based on current realities. New topics are added while irrelevant ones are removed from the document. In my country the curriculum is reviewed every five years, therefore I don't think students are taught obsolete topics.

At times, I ponder, why do we even go to school?. Is it just to gain knowledge or to achieve financial success in the end?. Well, it appears to be both. If our ultimate goal is to secure a good job or a stable source of income, then why aren't we taught certain financial matters at various stages, such as investment, money management, and effective saving methods?. Sadly, many individuals today earn significant incomes but lack a solid financial foundation.

Savings, investment and how to effectively use your income are taught in schools under different subjects. But the problem is that emphasis are not placed on them. However, you don't expect the school to teach you everything, it is the responsibility of school graduates to seek for more knowledge.

It's interesting to note that the current evolution of Bitcoin and its technology is gradually rendering banks and financial institutions outdated. The failures of banks and financial institutions have been revealed, as many now see Bitcoin and its technology as a new form of money, a good saving and investment plan, and also a way to manage money.

I don't think Bitcoin was designed to replace banks. Banks have some important role to play in the financial system. Regardless of the advantages of using Bitcoin, many people will still prefer using fiat. Bitcoin will always be an alternative to fiat.

Quote

Unfortunately, our schools still teach the young about banks and financial institutions, denying them the truth about real world happenings. Additionally, history has become a core subject even for those who want to study courses far outside it. They continue to teach these young ones about those who have ruled and stolen money from their nation, rather than implementing a financial subject (like Bitcoin) that would enable them to build their future at an early stage.

Children need to keep learning about banks and the current world financial system because these institutions are still operational. Maybe they will stop learning about banks when we no longer have any banks around. Students need to learn about the history of their nation to enable them to learn lessons from the past. History lesson is not just only about past leaders and some politicians should be emulated because they did very well. However, most politicians who stole money didn't end well.

Question - Do you think Bitcoin should be made a core subject in our schools?

Children in primary schools are already been exposed to Bitcoin when money is been taught. As they move to high school Blockchain technology is exposed to them and Bitcoin is discussed. Some universities offer courses on cryptocurrencies. I think financial education should become a core course while Bitcoin education should be included as an avenue to invest.

Please don't think that I condemn any subject in any way, but you would certainly understand my point of view if you were once taught certain unnecessary subjects and ended up becoming something else. Knowledge, they say, is never wasted, but there are certain knowledge that are not important.

Bitcoin as a core subject
Bitcoin itself is very broad, comprising its network, technology, and even financial aspects, which gives it more credibility as a subject. Teaching Bitcoin as a core subject at a certain stage opens the eyes of the young and enables them to make good financial decisions at an early age.

Due to it's complexity, basics of Bitcoin should be make good focused on, such as:

Buying and selling
Sending and receiving
How to store them in a wallet
Basic introduction to bitcoin investment, etc

As students begin to show interest in pursuing further studies, the need to delve deeper becomes vital. It's important to note that making Bitcoin a core subject aims to enable young people to make early financial decisions, allowing them to determine whether they want to invest in the future of currency (Bitcoin) or continue to rely on traditional fiat currencies. Teaching Bitcoin as a core subject would solidify the evolution of new money (Bitcoin) without leaving room for questions or debates about its adoption.

Is there any hindrance to this idea?
Ideas like this might sound good to some while not the same to others. Certainly, I think the government might be the number one hindrance to such ideas, as they would keep feeding the minds of every generation with corrupted banks and financial institutions, making every generation believe that only banks and financial institutions are the places worth leaving our money.

In addition, when every generation keeps using fiat currency, it would be very easy for financial institutions to print excessive money for their own selfish interests. So I think those in power might be a significant setback we might face in many countries.

Note: core subjects are not mandatory subjects.

Warning - This is not financial advice, but rather a suggestion aimed at helping the next generation understand the new form of money and also make an early financial decisions for themselves.

Question - Do you think Bitcoin should be made a core subject in our schools?

It's not the right time to discuss this. There are sti many countries that haven't legalised the crypto currency in their respective domains. They are not allowing people to invest in it because of the high ratio of risk that is being involved.

There are almost 2 billion Muslims and scholars are still not satisfied that either it is permissible to invest in crypto or not. So until and unless these issues are catered I don't think so it'll be worthwhile to discuss this "crypto as a subject".
