I respect your topic OP but I am sorry to say, this will never work because implementing crypto into school curriculum is like teaching people how to make money, meaning you have literally turn school to > no need to work for the government anymore.

Remember, the coldest truth about school is get your degree and serve the government, live on the government money and pay your debts, once crypto is into school you have set workers free from the hands of the government.

This is the last thing the government would want to see.

With the emerging markets and technologies today, I believe that there's really a need for it. We've been stuck to the outdated topics that has been there for ages. I know that it's not that bad at all and they're still applicable and important.

But what is it to add some new flavor to subjects and topics to deal with? Especially on this generation, when many people don't know that finances and technology could be tied into one thing, a product and a cryptocurrency, an investment - a payment method.


Many argue that cryptocurrencies must enter the school curriculum, just like a few years ago when social media is very massive so propose to enter the school curriculum, of course it is natural because schools must be able to choose important priorities because school hours are full and maybe in a few years will enter the curriculum.

If bringing blockchain technology into education is a great idea because blockchain will be the technology of the future. but if bringing bitcoin and crypto to market is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. After all, they are just investments like other investments such as gold, foreign exchange, the purpose is to make a profit, not to bring any benefits to society. So it's not necessary to force everyone to know about it.

Schools should be able to adjust to the trends that occur, blockchain technology is developing rapidly so that it is worth entering the curriculum, sometimes the education office is afraid to include cryptocurrencies because they think it has not been legalized, but we must take the positive side that transactions in the blockchain are a future system that will dominate or replace traditional system.

It's time for cryptocurrencies to enter the school curriculum so that students can get to know them earlier, a lot of what students will get when they get to know cryptocurrencies, for example, is creating a new blockchain network that can be used for many purposes, for example, school payment transactions and so on.
There are schools already who integrate crypto on their curriculum but obviously, the number of them is still low but I know that their number can grow later on knowing that the popularity of crypto is also growing. It's important for the students to learn crypto as early as possible because they can get benefits from it like they can start investing on it at a very young age.

We know that crypto value can grow huge. By the time these kids are already at their proper age, that will be the time that they will use the money that they have invested. It can greatly help them. Another one is they can land a career easily because crypto jobs are going to be in demand in the future.
Teaching children about the decentralised network will let them know the basics as well as make them understand the positive and negative things of decentralisation. Adding curriculum to the school children needs to be done in such a way that it should not make them feel bored.

El Salvador have begun diploma program on bitcoin with the support of the Ministry of Education. Such a move could be taken by different countries and further moved down to the level of schools. Governments launching book similar to "My First Bitcoin" will let people around understand bitcoin in a simple way. Maybe such books can be distributed on schools.

After reading so many theories, Analysis and the powers of crypto currency in a nation's economy, the greater impact it will bring to developed and fast developing countries. I began to wonder why is crypto currency not accepted in some area's and organization of the world, can we characterized this as lack of information, and awareness to the people. If this be the case, Can we find a way to adopted Crypto Currency as a Subject and integrate it into our school curriculum, or better still as topic and integrate it into Economy's. This has been on my mind, And I honestly need your contribution and your thoughts towards this. I honestly think crypto currency, BTC and ETH for example. Should be adopted globally and accepted by everyone. Thanks
There are a couple of educational institutions who have acknowledged bitcoin and cryptocurrency, so much so that they included it in lessons and curriculum. Though these institutions are few and far between given that the government passively vetoes the use of it and in conjunction, the teaching of how to use it as well as its benefit. They'd soon realize how futile their efforts were though, especially as we are undergoing a paradigm shift in everything including the education system, where more and more learners are in the know of what they wanna know and what they don't want to. The adoption process will take time, but the fact that we are already seeing institutions like the ones I have told earlier be open and receptive about teaching crypto is a good sign that we are on our way there.

I would prefer blockchain technology to enter the national education curriculum instead of cryptocurrencies. In fact, when the blockchain technology course is given, it may be possible to provide information about cryptocurrencies in the course. If this is done, students can be given a more comprehensive education. Apart from that, I think that financial literacy education should be given to people of all ages. I think it is an issue as important as cryptocurrencies because a person who is conscious about this issue will evaluate cryptocurrencies from a better perspective.
I guess this is not for high schools, it will be very preferable for higher institutions. High school students needs more knowledge in commerce, economics as to get understandings about finance. The high school is place of people of young age, they might not have good understanding about cryptocurrency if they haven't been taught finance properly. Education in cryptocurrency is very important  for people to know what to do with their finance.
Indeed, teaching the basics of bitcoin and blockchain must be preceded by theoretical and practical lessons of financial systems, and ensuring that the student is proficient in the mechanisms of critical and evolutionary analysis.  On this basis, it is not possible to teach Bitcoin in the first years of education until the end of high school.  A course can be added to teach the blockchain in the fields of economics, management, finance, data technology and media sciences in general.  It's really a combination of all of that.

I agree, there's a lot more important stuffs that a student should learn rather than adding cryptocurrency to their curriculum. I know it does have an advantage if we decide to add it, but that advantage also have its own disadvantages. Apart from that, students can still learn it if they're seeking financial courses but not on a bigger scale.
Cryptocurrency curriculum is more profitable if cryptocurrencies have been legalized in government regulations so that the crypto community can develop crypto projects based on licenses that have been verified by government agencies. I might speculate for future generations because young crypto graduates can have the opportunity to create jobs to reduce unemployment. So compared to the formal curriculum which must be studied in stages, the crypto curriculum is more effective for creating independent jobs because students can apply their knowledge to the cryptocurrency space.

Perhaps, countries that ban cryptocurrencies just want to promote their own currency, or they fear that cryptocurrencies can lead to a lot of financial crimes.

That's one way to put things why they ban cryptocurrencies because for them, digital currencies are still an unexplored water for them and people with resources can take advantage of it (especially for crimes to launder money) while the government are still studying about it. Moreover, the governments can't control this currency because it's decentralized.

Incorporating cryptocurrencies into the school curriculum, in my opinion, is not good. This is because it can cause students' minds to only focus on cryptocurrency and not focus on other education.

Not Your Keys, Not Your Bitcoin
well theres a saying that personal finance does not taught in school.

They don’t want you and I to be ahead finances before your age, they are afraid that’s why they are so keen on teaching demand and supply that you can learn from your parents, the teachers imagination is also programmed to forced students to be the best among them and fight for first in every activity while ignoring that life outside school doesn’t work that way, the people we thought they wouldn’t succeed after school usually be the ones who excelled with wealth and success.

Bitcoin adoption with the government’s hasn’t been in a cordial relationship so the idea of teaching cryptocurrency will be hard for now, may be in future when things change, we may see it everywhere.

State parties can of course conduct research before agreeing to any decisions related to cryptocurrencies. Because anything that can be very contrary to the rules that already exist in the country can of course be changed for the better and will not harm all parties when crypto currency is legalized and for example it also exists at this time, namely El-Salvador.

This can also be suppressed or explained in advance to all students when they want to be included in the school curriculum so that they don't just focus on one thing or one subject, but must focus on all subjects so they can understand more knowledge that they can. use when leaving school. Because students can choose certain fields that they like when they graduate from school.

Why should it? Finance (and probably investing in general?) is a far better and far more important subject. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are just a subsection of the broader topic that is investing.

Why shouldn’t it? In my opinion it should be taught in schools.  Kt’s  important to talk about as much financial stuff as you can do why limit yourself so much. Personally I think schools overall need to make sweeping changes to the curriculum as so much of it are things that people will simplify never need or end up using going forward.

I think cryptocurrencies are worthy of being used as a curriculum in high schools or colleges, if we start from elementary school, it is feared that students will only focus on making money so they are not ready and are prone to project scams.
Being discussed as a sub topic, yes, but as a main subject? What for? It has nothing much of a contribution to the curriculum. Indeed it is a profitable investment but it won't contribute to your academe, let us deparate that. On economics class or some related subj, it could be used as an example as an asset. There are many forms of investments but why do you guys think only a few (yes including real estate properties), were brought up? Because not all investments are beneficial to the society. Bitcoin at this moment is volatile and free of tax, how will it contribute then?  It has advantages as a currency indeed but let us be realistic.
I partially agree with your opinion. Familiarity with Bitcoin will not have the expected benefit because it simply cannot be taught without exposure to many aspects such as the history of money and the emergence of technologies that affected it. Blockchain is one of those technologies that can be employed in many ways, not just Bitcoin events. Bitcoin can be taught as an independent subject for economics students in universities, but not for schoolchildren, for whom it is better to introduce the blockchain before exposure to the applications that can be created through it.

That is why there is no need to teach specifically about bitcoin or cryptocurrency as we have already finance or economics subject that will tackle already on managing investments and assets. And seeing the fact that the government is not fully supporting it yet, so most probably the school’s curriculum focus will still be on fiat which is the main currency.

I agree if Cryptocurrencies are included in the school curriculum, like it or not cryptocurrencies is a fantastic phenomenon since the last 10 years, moreover more and more recognition from millionaires and countries that officially receive bitcoin, although initially there is a rejection but slowly more countries that provide leeway and even accept bitcoin and receive bitcoin .
