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

everyone who knows cryptocurrencies certainly hopes that cryptocurrencies can be included in the school curriculum but again, each country/region has not been willing to do that because of their unreasonable fears.
The discourse about cryptocurrencies being included in the school curriculum in my country has also been discussed but so far we have not received a response from our government, they have said that cryptocurrencies disrupt economic stability, and to be honest it is a stupid statement.

Lol. Dream on op. You need to temper your expectations. Many world governments outright ban BTC and other cryptocurrencies since they fear them due to the possibility of losing power and money.

Why on earth would they want to include them in school curriculums? That wouldn't benefit them at all and it could even screw kids lives due to its risky nature.
I know most government won't want to implement that but am sure their are some countries that already adopted bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general so am sure those countries can add it to their curriculum. Also it might just take time but am sure most of the countries banning bitcoin currently won't have choice than to accept bitcoin later in the future, so if they can accept bitcoin, then bitcoin can be added to the curriculum.

I fully agree that cryptocurrencies must be learned in school, starting at elementary! I fully agree also  that BTC must be adopted as a global standard (stop using USD as standard!).
But I do not agree at all on the legal adoption of ETH, because it is a practically centralized project and has a myriad of various issues.

For countries that already have good internet access, it is certainly very easy to apply the addition of the Cryptocurrencies curriculum, because cryptocurrencies are lessons that are directly related to the internet, so without the internet and only relying on theory is very difficult to learn.

actually, there are colleges or universities that are already integrating the cryptocurrency and blockchain technology courses within their curriculum. there has been a thread here in this forum listing the schools offering crypto related courses. so this is not news anymore but some have long been teaching related courses for quite some time already. besides, a lot of crypto users are self taught owed to the fact that we can basically read and search anything these days over the net. just know where to get valid facts.

You can't force countries to adopt digital currencies like Bitcoin globally, it's not necessary, Bitcoin is now very well known and understood by the world community, only those who understand how Bitcoin works will adopt it.

You know Economics, School Curriculum and so on are all controlled by the government, Isn't it, some countries and government organizations don't accept the presence of Bitcoin, Of course they don't know Bitcoin and are anti-adoption, I believe cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin without global adoption will grow and develop rapidly over time and also the economy is growing rapidly because of the presence of Bitcoin in the community, for that adoption does not have a positive impact on the crypto market, it is a fact that we see, Bitcoin cannot be controlled and does not depend on employers, Bitcoin grows on its own and goes hand in hand with the world community, You know Bitcoin, Bitcoin also knows you, you need Bitcoin, Bitcoin also needs you, interrelated with each other.

Cryptocurrency could be taught inside mathematics subject when teaching children about decimal houses of a number. Later on, when children grow up, they could be taught about the origins of bitcoin, its purpose, pros and cons, characteristics and how it is behaving on the practice along the years against inflation and protecting the money of its investors. There is enough bitcoin content for mathematics, economy and history lessons, unfortunatelly schools don't teach students to be smart, realistic and critical, rather they teach students to be sheep, so they don't become a threat to the system we live in.

 Believe me, I'd love to see that day when it gets taught in schools as subject because it could help the children learn of a better, digital way of making money and go as far as broadening their horizons when they are done but just like the others that have answered, I think it's not what we need right now as there are other pressing needs plus Bitcoin can only become a course if study if the government of a region accepts it.

A good idea if Cryptocurrencies goes to school lessons, many experts believe that the future of the transaction system will use a blockchain so that by introducing cryptocurrencies will make children accustomed to and certainly become an opportunity to practice investment from an early age.

Well as for it screwing kids' lives, it actually depends on what they'd be taught, if they'll be taught how to get rich quick, or how they can prolly have millions of dollars through crypto, then that is where the problem could be inherent, they could basically be taught from the angle of financial freedom and users' control. Having said that, in whatever way it is going to be taught it isn't something that is quite necessary, or that seriously needs to be integrated, there are quite a lot of reasons why it wouldn't work, and imo many people will definitely find out about crypto and undertake their own personal research without being taught about it in school.

Couldn't agree more.
Crypto being taught at school will not going to screw the children's financial life. However, schools may only integrate crypto or Bitcoin as one of the topic of a specific finance and economic subjects or any subjects that tackles on financial aspects.
Bitcoin/crypto basics would be enough, just to let the students be aware of what crypto is, not the earning aspects.

I once though of this but in a different direction. It can never be introduced directly into school curriculum but can be added to entrepreneural scheme learn in school. Due to inadequate job in Nigeria, Government has introduced an entrepreneural scheme like book keeping, marketing, bee rearing, barbing and many more as an entrepreneural subject to the school. I think crypto currency can be added to this list.

Part of the curriculum might be too much. Discussions about cryptocurrency can include those subjects related to Economics and Finance. There's no need to label it up the same with those subjects that should be really part of the school's curriculum.

Anyways, here in our country, it was being pushed this year by our main central bank that the discussion of crypto should be included in teaching.

I'm not sure though what's the current status of this or if it's already commenced.

I for one would love to see bitcoin get adopted worldwide. But I think there are far more important things to add to a school curriculum than cryptocurrencies. Entrepreneurship and perhaps some sort of skill acquisition and or training programs would be nice.

I do not think any government would ever include cryptocurrencies into its school curriculum. That’s something you would have to learn away from the classroom.
In some countries bitcoin is added to the curriculum. This has been done based on some special program for limited children. Based on the outcome will be the implementation. As you've mentioned, there is more to be taught beyond cryptocurrency into the school curriculum.

World is experiencing the severity of inflation. Teaching kids about economics is a must, and through that students wil surely understand bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Understand that crypto currencies are yet to become legal in most countries of the world at the moment, and also, regulation is still being worked on,
I personally do not think integrating cryptocurrency into our educational system wil work unless cryptocurrencies become a well recognized assets class all around the world and proper regulations in place.
This is not something that  can not happen immediately but will take
Some really good time to come to reality.

You are not alone in your desire to spread the word about bitcoin, starting with your school education, but unfortunately, not everyone agrees with you. I think you understand that to make such decisions, bitcoin must be legalized as a subject of education and recognized by countries. Do you see something similar? We can only hope for the future, but I'm not sure that this can happen shortly.
But no one forbids you from teaching and disseminating information about bitcoin among your friends.
I also want to see in the future cryptocurrency as one of the subjects included in the curriculum, but apparently, this might be impossible to happen as we have already marketing and finance courses that is also related to cryptocurrency. However, if ever cryptocurrency will be adopted globally soon, maybe by that time it will be already included in school’s curriculum.

I don't know if crypto is generally accepted in your country, but your idea is good, and if you want to go through with your idea, I think you should submit a proposal to the ministry of education in your country.

But you should know, finance is globally accepted, medicine is globally accepted, politics is globally accepted, business is globally accepted, art/science is globally accepted But Bitcoin is not. Bitcoin mining is not globally accepted. Even the free use of Bitcoin is not globally accepted. That's why it can not be integrated into the school curriculum, but maybe in the future, when there are more reasons to include it. Should you not be aware that some universities are already teaching about crypto and blockchain?

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.
Well, something like Economics is usually studied at schools, no? So yeah, Bitcoin can just be integrated into that. I agree that covering investing as a topic could be good, but I also don't think cryptos are just a subsection of it. While many use cryptos and see them as investment opportunities, there are other angles from which cryptos can be explored. For example, studying what fiat money is, some basic history of money and how it worked would be useful, and Bitcoin could be added to that, as a new and significantly different form of money.

It could be part of it but it should not be directly involved with the studies. Like there are many in conceptualised subjects which do not impact the society yet they taught in the studies but are not mandatory subjects. Whether it is out dated language or simple physics hypothetical theory or complex quantum subject with least understanding you can count on many subjects which have not been mandated yet through the educational system.

Bitcoin/crypto space can be studied in the similar fashion. These days interests are wide and students tend to choose specialised subjects. Better keep it as an option rather than core part.

I would like all children in the world to have the opportunity to go to school and at least learn some basics (reading, writing, math), and after that all those for whom this is something completely normal start learning how to protect themselves from all the dangers on the internet, which includes crypto scams. For me, this is a much bigger problem that we seriously need to face, because the negativity that comes from all crypto scams has a very bad effect on the perception of what is the only important thing in the whole story, which is Bitcoin.

People who advocate altcoins, especially those who are premined should better understand the differences between Bitcoin, altcoins, POW and POS in order to understand what they are talking about.
