Do you think they are talking about bitcoin in your basic ECON class?
I have taken basic courses on Economics on the University as Economics was not my branch of study. However bitcoin was never mentioned there and all I remember from it was comparing different basket of products , opportunistic cost and stuff like this. It would very good for bitcoin if it were to be mentioned in such classes and to explain where it differs compared to standard fiat money.

I am not sure if they are talking about Bitcoin in the basic economics class, but B schools are showing interest. There are separate electives relating to Bitcoin / blockchain in some of the leading business schools.
I've taken four different economics courses in the university and they have never talked about bitcoin. This was between 2009 and 2013 as the time line. We're missing the chance of spreading bitcoin to crowds by the way.
It would be nice like an intro or big characteristics of it, there's no need to introduce the whole deal into a class. But it's a good idea.
Funny, I took a course in econometrics in 2009 just as bitcoin was coming onto the scene. It was actually the last college course I took. Definitely no mention of bitcoin then, but I'm sure somewhere in the thousands of courses being taught that btc is being mentioned. It's too big not to be at this point. I hear kids are even using laptops in class nowadays. Lol
It is doubtful bitcoin is ever going to be taught at school governments have control over what is taught there, and I’m sure governments are going to resist any attempt to try to bring bitcoin to the general public attention or people may wake up to the fiat scam they run. 
Yes there is talking about bitcoin it is a economic class because in bitcoin can we have a success in life.
If we have a knowledge about bitcoin you can earn money if you want so we can buy our need by the use of bitcoin so if we are talking bitcoin it is a economics discussion.

As I remember way back 2015, One of my prof in economics do share something about cryptocurrencies but just an overview what it is and how do this Bitcoin entered the market w/o noticing by a vast majority people. Where He also planned to include this topic on next year's curriculum. Well I think it would be beneficial especially to those who are majoring in Economics and Trading/Investment and somehow for those who are taking business courses.

That would be great if they teach it in the economy class. It is our future and if that happen all of our dreams about the rising of bitcoins will come true. They can promote it in the future generations for them to know how wonderful bitcoins are. If ever Bitcoin is discussed in class then it would be very nice for Bitcoin's publicity.
If bitcoin is discussed in class it is a good publicity as students are the future,it can be a topic in technical based courses too as the technology behind bitcoin is far superior than we have seen ,either way it is good for the publicity of bitcoin.

There are some schools out there that accepts Bitcoin as payment for the tuition fees of the students but there is no guarantee than economics classes are teaching or having a discussion about Bitcoin. It is possible that they touched Bitcoin when they are discussing about monetary system and the revolution of money. From barter system to golds and silvers to fiat and currency and to digital currency. It is possible that Bitcoin is mentioned but it has a very low probability.

In our country, many do not know about bitcoin or doubt to contact him. This will teach how to use bitcoin and dispel all doubts.
You are right studying about bitcoin will cause many people can take more interest in bitcoin and also teach that how to use bitcoin and how to earn money from bitcoin through investment, trading or etc and if they know about this facilities that bitcoin provide earning opportunity for us. So they take more and more interest in bitcoin and using them. 
I am sure the curriculum in colleges is influenced by the country you are in and the government which is in power.
If you are in a socialist country, then the economics classroom is likely to teach anti-capitalist, pro-socialist, propaganda.

If you've ever seen the term globalist used in economics or political discussion.
Globalist implies anti-capitalist, pro-socialist, propaganda being pushed on a global scale.
Many globalists are secretly members of the communist party. They're the ones who hate america and want to see it destroyed, they resent the sight of the american flag as its a symbol of capitalism and freedom.
What is this, the 1960s? Is communism-scare still a thing in the US?

Definitely, Bitcoin is being mentioned in some business courses. I am sure some schools have adjusted their curriculum to accommodate the cryptocurrency as a whole.snd not just Bitcoin alone. Honestly, it will be a good thing if more countries adopt Bitcoin into their financial system...
There are certainly a few number of universities who does that however we still don't know if the matter is one sided or not. what i have observed is people who lacks knowledge
about bitcoin or cryptos tend to think negatively about it resulting to a one sided discussion. the teachers here in my country mainly follows what the books or curriculum that the
department of education gives so i doubt they'll mention bitcoin as it is not there.

I'm sure that bitcoin and crypto-assets are hot now in every university and some schools
You correctly noticed that this is only in some universities and schools. The fact is that it turns out a very narrow circle of people. And for general education, even our teachers do not have enough professors in this field.
I think that this is a wonderful idea with the help of which will teach how to use not only bitcoin, but also other crypto-currencies. This will make people more financially literate.
I don't think bitcoin is part of Economics class here in our country because bitcoin is still not that popular in my country though there are already plenty of people who know about it but not really familiar what is bitcoin and what kind of technology is it.
It is hard to expect bitcoin to be a part of the economic curriculum this soon,yes it is a billion dollar technology but normally it would take a long time to get the changes to a curriculum ,but students can conduct symposium ,take it as a summer project and so on and you might even do a thesis regarding it if you are planning for further studies or a doctorate .
