That's good news for bitcoin to become even more popular. Of course it's great for students to be knowledgeable about cryptocurrency. If that's true we should support it. Hopefully more schools will teach students about bitcoin. and will also make bitcoin more popular and interest many young people.

As the saying goes "start them young" and this is very true.
I don't think that's true for crypto and youth, though.  Bitcoin hasn't quite achieved wide adoption yet, and most people still question whether it's necessary.  If you tell the average person about bitcoin, they'll ask you what it's used for.  If you tell them you can buy things with it, they'll ask you how you get it.  You then have to tell them that it has to be bought on an exchange.  Then they'll ask why you'd want to go to an exchange to buy a currency in order to spend it, when the cash dollars in their pocket is much quicker and has no transaction fees involved.  If you happen to mention that you have to pay fees to miners and that you have to wait for transaction confirmation, they'll likely tell you that they're not interested.  This exact conversation has happened with me, which is why I'm writing it.

Kids don't really need to be educated about crypto, in my opinion.  If it has any staying power, they'll either pick it up or they won't.  I think education about economics in general is more important.  Maybe the mathematics behind crypto would be more appropriate, but that's about it.

Cryptocurrency being taught in high school shows there is a great future for it. Ignoring to learn while others are into a new technology means one will be left behind time. Before you realise what is happening you discover you are living behind time. Though cryptocurrency is yet to gain wide acceptance, the school authorities must have seen the future prospects of crytocurrency and blockchain and deemed it necessary to teach their students the latest technology coming up. I commend the action of the school for realising what lies ahead.

That's what I understand the right approach. In my country, if it will be 10 years later and with irrelevant information. And it was interesting to read, thanks  Grin

I am in favor of it, it is better to teach the young generation the ways of cryptocurrency. They should have knowledge of blockchain technology because eventually in the future the world will use cryptocurrency in their everyday life.  No harm done if youngsters today are educated of cryptocurrency instead it will prepare them for the future's evolution and high technology using blockchain.

the education of cryptocurrency at school became a good news, but I suggest that not all schools can be accessed by cryptocurrency because students must be in high school or college. this can be one of good education and make cryptocurrency an invention of new technology.

They had kids learning how to build websites when the dot come boom took off and that failed. I think its a good way to try and educate and reach kids with new tech, but high school I think is to early for it.
Investing into crypto is like gambling it’s a risk for a reward. There are no contracts to guarantee you some money. I would recommend a financial adviser who would instruct you to the best opportunity at the time. However I do believe that you should also do your own research and if you see a coin has potential you should put some money into it.

It's very important to educate people around you, especially concerning such revolutionary technologies like crypto.
That why we are here at Bitcointalk. Smiley

this is a welcomed idea as it will help expose students to the crypto world and help them learn how to make small cash for themselves at an early age giving them a sense of responsibility to assist their family.

Even if schoolchildren are temporarily unable to invest, they should know what is happening in the modern world, what technologies are emerging in the 21st century.

This may be early for school students, but on the other hand, why not educate them in terms of new technologies, it will be useful for them, even if they do not communicate with cryptocurrency.

This is really a pretty cool thing for us because if it will be teach at high school education then many of the students will get into this field at low age and  they will start to think about it more logically and may be few of them can give better contribution to the cryptocurrency field .
But still here a negative factor may arise in my opinion that is if students will get into the field of earnings at early stage then surely Thier education knowledge will result into down and down because they will spend Thier time in cryptourrency earnings instead of education .
And here my sugg for them is that they should be educated about it at college level of education .

Wow very interesting this is very good for children can learn more inside cryptocurrency. Surely they look foward to becoming great children in the world of bitcoin, because there are still many countries that have not taught this to schoolchildren.

I think, education in highschool have many disadvantages; students will just focusing on cryptocurrencies, it has a huge effects with their studies. Cryptocurrencies is more likely about money, so students will be more attentive to this kind of trading because we know that almost of the students wants to earn money.

So for me, the right time to learn about crypto is in college level.

Very cool! High School there has been taught about the time of crypto money. If from now on taught about cryptocurrency, I am sure when they have graduated they will more deeply pursue cryptocurrency. And they can be successful people because they know crypto. This is great for the development of cryptocurrency in the future and good for student development in the school.

This is I think one of the most interesting and unique thing they did, because gaining a lot of knowledge in cryptocurrencies will lead us to a better and more successful future. I think if I am a highschool student on that university, I will be very grateful because it will lead me to many opportunities in life.

We are all aware that ever since there are no bitcoin subject in any academe. Even other particular business is not really part of it. But right now, I have heard, here in our country that there is a specialize place or school that is especializing in bitcoin. Many organizations regarding block chain, or bitcoin itself, are offering lectures about it. Many became interested with it and I guess it is somehow a good start to introduce bitcoin more.

I think it's a good idea to put cryptocurrency into their school subjects so they can learn new things, new skills and have their mind opened to other possibility and opportunity in their life. Besides, when they finally start to work, they are required to have skills so they could work properly.
Better for them to understand much earlier then decide if they will pursue and make this cryptocurrency as a career, teaching kids will not be that hard
since they already been exposed in a lots of new technology, we still have those kids that really thinking about their future and become  rich and financially
stable after some years of working, so allowing them to understand even they are still in high school is very much okay for me.
