Topic: Bitcoin as a core subject in our schools - Good or bad idea? - page 3. (Read 351 times)
I'd probably just stick with the basic one before anything else, maybe learning the basics of programming might be the best case scenario, it will also help out the students not to focus too much on one subject when they could learn about that when you teach them about different the one that will basically cover bitcoin topics and many others. That's for the best because that way, you're going to see more than just bitcoin, who knows, some of those kids might even get interested in other STEM topics aside from bitcoin. The goal of having bitcoin in the curriculum is for the people to be curious about it anyway so I think that making it as a subject that has bitcoin as the only focus seems like in bad taste in my opinion.
No this won’t happen. Maybe some type of crypto currency developer class can be taught at some school which teaches programming but it won’t be taught at the main level.
They teach a lot of useless stuff at school that you never really need to know in the first place. In my opinion they should teach money management because young people have no idea how credit system works. Straight out of college they get into huge debt that they are forced to pay for decades after. This would do more good in my opinion than teaching about crypto currency to most people who wouldn’t want to be involved in it anyways.

Correct Mia Chloe, so El Salvador and/or Japan might be more open to this than most other places.
Bitcoin as a core subject? Well in my opinion I would say cryptography as a core subject rather. Then students or pupils will be able to get a proper understanding of how the crypto space works especially in the case of Bitcoin. For some time now some schools already offer such subjects to their students however most of the time as a branch under one of their networking or programming subjects.
although it's a nice idea, the biggest limitation is the Government since in some countries , crypto is regarded as illegal therefore schools in such regions can either not teach such subjects effective or can't even teach it at all depending on the crypto tolerance of the countries government.

I think if it was a full subject it should be divided into cryptographic programming and crypto economics.

Yes, but we are talking about something which is almost impossible in today's world. A few rare private schools might be eager to do it, especially if they were founded by wealthy crypto winners. Telegram University! 
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.
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.
Old scheme
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.
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.
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:
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?
