If I am not mistaking, most modern education facilities do not offer any financial education at all. And I am not talking about Economics 101, I am talking about education relating day to day money handling, small investments, budget ballancing etc. So seeing we don't have even that, I don't think we can expect crypto adoption in our education systems. Not right now.

Perhaps, the school never teaches us how to create and run a business but it just only teaches us how to find a job. That probably if everyone will know crypto and make this as a job, trading, investing, and etc...this will affect the economic growth of the country. I hope they could see this and have an open mindset. I could say they are selfish if they don't adopt and educate their students about this.
There is a need to change the education system if they want to help the community and that is supposed a part of their job.

I don't know if this topic is already tackled but I want to know your random opinions.

[/b]For me it will be advantage for every students ....

For me ...

Well, not bad ideas, but there is a difference between your random thoughts and what is going to happen. I don't know if any crypto-friendly country like El Salvador is going to start teaching about cryptocurrencies in schools but in the vast majority of countries they are not. Forget about it. A lot of time will have to pass and a lot will have to change before primary school curricula will include those contents.

Basically this, something like what the OP is proposing will require not only for a government to be friendly to bitcoin now but also the commitment from the government for this to be the case for the long term so there was no expectation at all they could reverse course.

And this is unlikely, it is almost impossible to teach why bitcoin is a great option while simultaneously not show why fiat is inferior compared to bitcoin, and right now governments do what they can to not teach the very basics of how the fiat economy works, so I doubt they will be willing to do this as they will be encouraging those students to adopt bitcoin instead of fiat.

Not only bitcoin, but financial education should be a must in every schools. Sadly I have never been taught at school anything regards this basic matter like most people around. And that is why we have a society of people going into debt, without any control over their finances, spending more than they earn.

If investments options, including bitcoin, were introduced to kids at schools through math lessons we would have a lot more people thriving financially, consequently decreasing the volume of social issues that keep increasing in alarming rates.

Collage would be the best place to learn and practice it. Students at the 15 to 17 years, are open and matured enough to analyze and pick what is best around them. So yes crypto currencies and its technologies and the opportunities available in crypto should be taught during their collage days. I am sure in few years down the line, it would part of syllabus or a separate course to study. would be matured enough to think of their future career.

It is a good proposal that cryptocurrency should be adapted in the school syllabus especially on the college level. It will enable the students to participate in home economics and train hemselves for earning. This will be a kind of professional education. which will not only provide them an opportunity to earn but also as a positive activity. particularly,young generation and women are eager to find such kind of job and learning opportunity that can add their family income.

Yes, I agree with your idea. It should (Or I can say must) be adopted by the schools. But due to lack of knowledge, lots of people consider it a scam. Proper planning and litigation are mandatory for making it live for this level. Also, it may take a long time period for everyone to adopt it. Though we are living in modern ERA thoughts of people are still stereotyped.

If there is one thing that is guaranteed, that is change. Change in a way that people are forced to adopt into a situation that will cater better to a certain aspect. Just to give you an example, when the pandemic hit, most businesses were caught off-guard and lots of them were not able to adjust on time which resulted to thousands to millions of dollars of loss. Cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, is believed to be the future of transactions in the near future.

Adopting cryptocurrency lessons and teachings onto schools can definitely be beneficial in the long run. But the problem that I see is the implementation since there are still countries who avoid transacting with such.

Well, i guess no schools would ever want to include crypto in their curriculum as long as the government does not allow it since it is not yet legalized and adopted. But for some countries who have been adopting crypto already, then you can expect that in the near future crypto will be included already in their school's curriculum as to aware students at their young age about crypto and how it is being beneficial in one's economy or let's say country's economy. And to think that is the future global currency, then its much more essential to be taught in schools so that students will be educated about crypto and not just on fiat alone.

Crypto is bigger than that. You can't learn everything about crypto currencies in one semester. There should be colleges that devoted themselves to teach about crypto.

Crypto is a profession now. Like being a doctor. o taking a few crypto classes won't suffice. You need at least 4, maybe 5 years of education to learn everything about crypto. (that won't be enough neither probably)

When you graduate from the crypto school, you'll be a cryptomaster that's able to code his/her own crypto currency under a few hours.

I can already see this happening.

Whole night I am thinking about this reading all your opinions in different perspective there's a negative and positive feedback about this. But I agree with you if school adopt Cryptocurrencies it must be a professional courses 4-5 years of study to become a cryptomaster. In Additional it's a beneficial to us to have a Bitcoin course cause we are now living in a modern world that are full of new things.

He's right cryptocurrency is not something you go learn in four or six months, cryptocurrency is broad with different area to learn . Cryptocurrency is not just about trading there are different aspect in cryptocurrency like the cryptocurrency technology and many more.

I believe learning is a continous process so incorporating cryptocurrency one of the newest and advanced technology into the educational system at an early stage/ age in schools or colleges will definitely help students to develop knowledge and interest about cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.

Cryptocurrencies, IMO, should remain entangled on some economics and finance majors, and not be taught on all degrees/programs.

agree. as far as i know, people will learn something new, faster, if they attract about what is it. and some school can give this knowledge but just for what crypto is. and people will find where to go if they want to learn it

I think that parents should also be educated, if we talk about schools at university level it is different.

In what ways do you think can be an effective way to educate parents? In my opinion, educating parents will be more difficult than educating students. Students are mostly curious about something new and they can adapt well to technology. While parents are usually a bit hard to accept something new, they tend to avoid something speculative like crypto. Moreover, crypto isn't legal in all countries. They may think crypto is not a good thing.

What happens if Bitcoins will be adapt in schools especially in college level?

More people will know about it, more people will know how it works, more people will start using it. This in return will help crypto currencies to become mainstream.

About being hacked, I think it's important for students to study about how to avoid getting hacked, learning the different attacks of hackers through the internet, it's mandatory for schools to teach that as technology and social media continues to rise, hackers will never stop, so this is an actual way on educating the students on how to take care of their accounts better.

^ I like this idea, learn on cryptocurrency and avoid the possible hacks is that just a problem, this will not give a negative PR to the BTC and the cryptocurrencies itself so that people who want to have this asset will totally be protected. If ever this will be adopted on school soon, there should be a restriction that users should not be going to gamble, invest and staking or trading because that is risky, the best one is they know how to protect their against from the theft. Though this is not I think mandatory but at least it is always helpful to know while at easily estage.

That's nice, but since these students are still learning, I don't think that these institutes are actually encouraging students to learn how to trade or do such activities at an early age but rather educating them early so that they have decent knowledge about crypto and how it works, then probably study a brief history on how even Bitcoin and cryptocurrency started from the bottom.

Giving good education for young minds about cryptocurrency and how it works is a good thing to include in colleges curriculum knowing this will bring good future for them since digital technology continues to arise. But not literally that teachers should teach them how to trade successfully, maybe just an overview of a good trading can help students to sort it out in the future.

However, as technology arises, there are more scammers and hackers too have become visible and in order to stop this, then there should be no more fools to easily believe in what is too good to be true offers. If all people have become educated about this, then scamming may not be totally stop but it can be somehow lessen or minimized.

The anticipation of such a possible scenario, I guess that should be talked about and explained during their discussion. Being bold and close discussion towards crypto makes these young minds fully understand cryptocurrency and it helps to stop them from thinking negatively. And in fact, this is one reason why it should have to be taught and become a part of the curriculum for it will eliminate doubts and uncertainty. For they were clearly absurd the goodness and benefits of crypto, that could enlighten their mind and that also easier for them to teach others even their parents. Such a stepping stone to help spread information about crypto.

I can't say that I agree with you. I do believe that the time to introduce cryptocurrency in the study of economics is here. I think it would be an important aspect of modern economics that should be teached. It is almost like computer science and programming. In the 70\80s, there was no education program but considering that computing was the next logical step in human technical development it had to be disseminated and learning programs had to be developed and introduced in schools. This would help this new science to get into common knowledge. I guess with crypto, we will probably see the same as you cannot dissociate the IoT or even the metaverse from cryptos, and tokenization.

they can easily adopt in this process in which the technology is very commonly used by them.
also our children and grand children will benefit from this, they will progress cryptocurrency more than what we are doing now so yes i want this to be added in their curriculum .
