Undoubtedly BTC has come up many times in many economic classes. Hilariously, I'd say the professors explanations are more than lacking although.
In my area of residence, very rare people who know bitcoin, I have never thought that here will be any lesson about bitcoin, even in economy class. I think it takes an experienced lecturer in the field of crypto to simply introduce people about crypto, because it will entice people enthusiastically to ask further questions.
I don't have any idea if they do talk about Bitcoin or not but yes, there are some seminars conducted by the Institute of Charted Accountants India (Public Accountants) and they discuss it. Even though I wanted but couldn't attend this seminar, I am sure there must be some productive discussion happened in such seminar.
(old one) * Seminar on From Barter to Bitcoin.
I think it's far early to include Bitcoin in regular study syllabus for Economic but they should do it for IT syllabus.

Bitcoin and blockchain technology are good things to learn about for everyone who care about currency or world economics development, especially in economics class. I've heard some of my friends learn about bitcoin but just as online currency, not even enough I thought.
And there are several colleges which added Blockchain technology as a part of their curriculum such as University of Nicosia and European School of Management and Technology (ESMT), where students could pay for tuition using bitcoin as well.

I had some economics classes, both macro and micro economics at university and general economics at highschool and I could tell you that you don't need to take bitcoin as separate entity of money. The same economic
principles applies to fiat money and cryptocurrency together. The thing that could be taught in classes is blockchain as data structure and maybe some consensus algorithms analysis in maths and computer science.
It is not about similarities about standard monetary systems and cryptocurrency, of course, that basic principles of currency won't change drastically.principles applies to fiat money and cryptocurrency together.

But the fact that bitcoin is being omitted and treated like 'flavour of the month' kind of thing which will won't survive in the long run is kinda sad.
I guess we still need more time to get rid of conventional thinking and uncertainty surrounding bitcoin inception.
In the classes I took there were this notion of abstract "money" (not dollars, euros or bitcoin). I don't think there are any of the economics class n the world which talks about some currency or group of currencies in a direct way. What I wanted to say it's that the same principles of money applies to all currencies whether fiat or crypto.

Once after the big whales, the economic class people were the one who holds good volume of bitcoin to move to the next level of living standard. For the same lots of users have invested small amounts affordable to make a profit in the future. The current scenario is good mainly for the rich people.
Do you think they are talking about bitcoin in your basic ECON class?
It depends. Econimics is a ver broad topic and maybe at some point, bitcoin could be discussed. Ive studied business course and we have econ subjects. We didnt tackle bitcoin specifically but has touched e-commerce and how it changes and affects the economy. Business and ECON is also dynamic. Its rules and factors change over time and have to be always updated. So, maybe by this time, e-cash, digital goods, e-trading, and cryptocurrencies were being discused in some universities but not in a verry detailed manner. If one wish to learn more about bitcoin, its usually self-taught throuh forums such as this, videos, websites or actually trading. Maybe in the future,colleges and universities might consider adding cryptocurencies trading in their prospectus.

i think they don't because not all people know about bitcoin and they need more explain before they are understand what is bitcoin and how to use bitcoin. i think in future we can see this is happen and bitcoin is not just for economic class like we've seen before. bitcoin is for every people who wants to make real money from doing many things with bitcoin.
Bitcoin, though originated in the freedom movement and offering a completely different concept to the traditional system, still can not distance itself from the nature and character of the world economy today. And it has been proven that bitcoin is a boost to world economic. Like as such can be used for production, distribution, and consumption of goods.

Bitcoins enter the economy class that will support the economy. Where students will make theses on cryptocurrency. So have to do a survey for his master thesis
Basically the bitcoin value is exactly the same as the economic lesson, but I've never heard of a university in my country being able to incorporate curriculum lessons about bitcoin. This is because its existence has not been widely known by the general public. Maybe someday if bitcoin is widely known, colleges can provide curriculum about bitcoin.
No, maybe in few years. Still not that crucial, it's all about time.
Yes maybe in few years. Teachers cant teach something if the lesson is not in the curriculum.
Maybe when the government implement that curriculum then that would be the start of something new in the crypto world.
Well am yet to see an academic institutions that will introduce bitcoin as part of their course work or their educational curriculum, even as at the time I was in the college studying economics it was not part of our courses but if introduced it will go a long way in helping more people to gain knowledge about crypto currency.
It will surely help out for adoption to increase even more since its been already teached and been included on the curriculum the main concern here is that those department of education would really consider this stuff? Knowing that they are on pro-government rules which they would really need an approval on it and thinking off that not all governments do really like bitcoin therefore chances would be somehow 50-50 if it would be implemented or not.

It's great to study bitcoins economics but to correlate it with classical economics is just so far fetched. Yes, it follows the basic rule of supply and demand, but that's just about it. Also, i've discussed bitcoins with a few of my economics professor in college and just think that bitcoin is just another ponzi scam that floats around and will eventually disappear like most MLMs today.
