Everyday we hear about Blockchain technology, Bitcoin, ICO, Ethereum but not many understand what blockchain, cryptocurrency and Smart Contracts are? How does it all work? How can blockchain be used in business and how will blockchain change the world?
The Blockchain is a technology based on the virtual digitized decentralized network with “blocks” of information. When you add any information in the network (e. g. transaction), you add it in all computers in the network. But if another user in this network adds his information and make a new block after yours, you can’t modify your block. However, you can edit your block if you make it editing from all computers in the network and make similar changes in one moment only. It makes Blockchain one of the best technology for saving and to structure information.
Education is key to really take full advantage of all of its present and future application. Aside exposing high school students to this technology, kids in lower grades schools should also be introduced to this technology. Blockchain technology is here to stay and its now part of us, hence the need for education at all levels of our educational system.

All necessary information should be given to students in high school. This is clear thing but the problem is that not all people are ready receive information about this new phenomenon which is related to many scam things.
It is not about what level you are in to just get some education about cryptocurrency because you can still get into cryptocurrency even though you are not in high school or you already pass on high school because internet is always there that you can use to do some research and to learn how to do deal with the cryptocurrencies.
I think that this is really useful training, because people should know about the main trend directions of economic development. It would be fine if in our country the authorities also came up with the idea to include teaching the cryptocurrency in the educational program
Wharton Business School of University of Pennsylvania and Stanford Business School both are also going to hold some classes on the subject of cryptocurrencies within next few months. While Wharton School’s class called “Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, and Distributed Ledger Technology” will take place sometime during the fall of this year (between September – November), Stanford Business School will have its “Cryptocurrency” class in May. The new addition to MBA courses has been done due to a spurt in demand from companies and students both.

It is really a good idea that someone urges to educate people about cyptocurrency but i dont think that it should start in high school students. My opinion is that someday we may lose some professionals in the society because they choose the crypto path instead of studying to get a degree . I think it's better to start when they are college level so they can choose wisely about this matter.
Since cryptos are the future, I think educating the youths on it's use is a brilliant idea
I must say that adding cryptocurrency education in high school is a good decision to make. Its been almost 10 years since its birth and it will stay for a long time if not forever. Every year a lof of altcoins were being provided, so that just proves that its market is expanding and a lot of people are gaining interest about it. Teaching it as early as high school would allow the young adults to be open,knowledgeable and smart enough if they wanted to invest.

Good because they are making aware of the students about the presence of such industry at an early age but bad if these students will put all their focus and time to it since they will learn that they will have a chance to earn from it. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/07/bitcoin-education-at-high-schools-and-colleges.html
Bitcoin as a transactional system will use blockchain so it's a good thing to teach bitcoin in high school by being formally taught. The young generation is ready to welcome changes in the future. 
They can easily adopt as they have young minds, the only matters right now is they needed to be more interested what blockchain can bring tot their lives,I can say that as early as now student needs to understand how things works as they are also exposed with internet and bitcoin and all other cryptos are base in the internet, it will be easily to understand and make things possible to favor them.

For me, that's a good idea because some students is veterans if talking about is computer. I think some bitcoin users are students only and some of them is studying with bitcoin. For me, if the bitcoin teach in the high school students I think most of them become prosperous in their life. I'm also a student so if I need some money I withdraw in the bank and I don't want to ask for money in my parents. That's the reason why I used bitcoin to support my needs and to help my family in our daily expenses.
Yes this is a good idea. We are now in the digital age and younger generations are now more tech savvy because they are exposed to technology at a young age. It would be good for them to be oriented with the world of cryptocurrencies even before they reach the age when they already have to be financially independent. They are the next in line.

Actually it is good, but I think in high school should be taught the basic theory only. Just for introduction and let high school students focus on the main lessons.
I think bitcoin cant used for the education in the school. why? because bitcoin is a currencies that doesn't have the legalize status, its mean that bitcoin sitll doesn't have a clear status, and i think bitcoin is related with "dirty" activity like in the deepweb and something else, and it not match with students in high school.

if I think the introduction of investment with cryptocurrency early is indeed good because the need for advancement of time and technology to force someone to follow it and maybe the introduction of bitcoin is one of them to lead the future of technology and economyhttps://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/07/bitcoin-education-at-high-schools-and-colleges.html

I think it would be best to keep our kids educated and updated to what is happening to the world. Changes this big is definitely gonna need lots of teaching, and in my opinion, the best place to start to teach these kind of things is none other than schools. Having early education and information about the cryptoworld is gonna be the best option if we want a better future for our children.
It can possibly be mentioned especially in other subjects but it won't be considered as a main subject. Maybe it is possible to become a necessary topic in college but high school and below is too early to focus into it.

Cryptocurrency education may widen the view in cryptocurrency especially for the newer generation, the past generations are the ones seems lagging behind because of their slow uptake but the new generation can make up for it. With this cryptocurrency can be widely spread and can be shone is good light and reach its maximum potential. They will be the future of bitcoin 'cause they will continue what people have started.
