It should also be made known that knowledge of Cryptocurrency is a form of empowerment to the young ones and adults.

Indeed, the knowledge of cryptocurrencies is an empowerment to who ever bears or acquires the knowledge, this is why I personally agree that it would bring great benefit to the society if bitcoin and blockchain can be taught in schools.

But on the other hand, there is no way Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can be officially taught in schools without approval from the government, and for this approval to happen, regulation must happen first.
This is my thought on this, I am open to to disagreements and arguments.

Look to the United States scores for math and reading comprehension- if you have not looked, they are dismal. If they can not teach math or reading, forget about crypto. But hey, at least the genderbread person is being crammed up everyones ass as they get dummed down.

Cryptocurrency should be adopted as a course of study in academic systems worldwide, from basic classes, through the higher institutions.
Cryptocurrency should be taught to little children at tender age and implemented/approved for basic transactions within academic environments to improve knowledge and usage, spread and utility of cryptocurrency to ensure safer and smarter transactions as well as to enlighten the students as kids and adults on the utility, conservation, spread and improvement of cryptocurrency. ~

No, you can't get kids from elementary school (even middle school) to learn the complexities of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. They better learn about the basics of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, language, and communication. Not everyone has to enter or understand how Blockchain technology is; some of them have to be doctors, pilots, chefs, farmers or even athletes.

But instead of put Blockchain and cryptocurrency into the academic systems; why not recommend online courses to them? There are many websites to learn Blockchain and cryptocurrencies such as Udemy, Decrypt, Blockchaininstitute, and others.

Technology have got big role in keeping everything advancement. The education is the core that have changed the lifestyle and living situation of the people. This way education can be effectively used on the betterment of the society. However bitcoin into educational curriculum isn't needed for the small kids. Let them play the outdoor games and find new friends. At some point there'll be need of crypto education. By that time it can be done.

I think you are off a bit about giving the details since teaching the technology or about science might not be appropriate to the kids yet and that goes the same with the cryptocurrency. Kids and adults are different although if we talk about putting the cryptocurrency subject to the school it might not be helpful with them since cryptography isn't something they wanna learn but instead if school would teach them how to invest properly or trade it might be useful. I found the idea a bit not fitting if their point was to just teach how cryptocurrency works.

It is not a bad idea including blockchain technology in school curricular activities but consideration should be taken and proper evaluation be done in the age of the learner in assimilating the knowledge of blockchain.
The kids or children if you may like can not be able to comprehend the dynamics of blockchain at their tender age though kids of this generation are much smarter but age factor should be considered as well. They can be enlightened about Blockchain and be given just the basic fundamentals of it but not digressing too much if it for their easy understanding.

The adults are matured enough to understand so they can be taught about blockchain. So therefore here comes the building and working on knowledge. It is assumed adulthood starts from 18 so at that age one can be able to assimilate what ever they are being taught in school. This would be the right age to teach blockchain to them. Looking at the school aspect of it, let's say from the secondary level would be nice to start with as that would be the best point to start with.

According to a 2019 Coinbase report, 56% of top universities in the world have crypto classes. They surveyed 735 students ages 16 and older, finding a 6 percent uptick in student interest in crypto or blockchain coursework. One interesting thing they found about the study is the percent of crypto or blockchain classes not falling under the traditional computer-science label. Coinbase said 70 percent of these classes pertained to other departments – particularly finance, economics, law or engineering. So OP, you see the Universities are already at the forefront. Some time ago, some users on this forum shared their stories of teaching school kids about cryptocurrency and bitcoin in particular. I agree that this lessons should be done in structured manner.

Cryptocurrency and blockchain have been infused into the academic systems in the US and EU. Besides, some of the Universities that infused crypto and blockchain into their educational system offer online free courses. However, I never agree with the idea of cryptocurrency being adopted into the tender-age educational system.
I suggest adding C++ learning to the tender age school level which will help their brain and also serve as pre-preparation of them into the crypto and blockchain world.

I heard that some countries already started infusing bitcoin and cryptocurrency into their education system. I read it also that Argentina and El Salvador are some of these countries. But I think there are already many new financial books that are used at school that included bitcoin and cryptocurrency in it. It may not be a course or a subject but it's becoming part of any financial books. In my country, our central bank ex-governor and our current secretary of Finance admitted how powerful cryptocurrencies are and that they will be the future.

The earlier the better, the sooner btc becomes part of school curriculum the better it will help the younger generation to get to know btc from the very basics, develop interest towards it and build a career from it as well.
The popularity of btc keeps spreading so I don't see any reason why this should not be considered, it will benefits students alot, after all, the world is moving fast with technological advancement and btc adoption is inevitable.

Idk, crypto sounds like it could fit in a few subjects, if it was as a method of payment then I don't think it's needed, pretty sure my school did not teach me how to use money. If it's integrated in the system people would naturally learn of it imo. I also doubt it could be taught as an investment since there are a LOT of investments out there, never seen a school teach about those. The development side might be interesting though it's rather specific ig? It's more like a project kind instead.

School just cannot explain what economy is to children, for 2 main reasons. First of all, if we knew how money works, then we wouldn't go to jobs and work for money, we would let the money work for us, the moment we have even just a little bit, we would all gang up and make it work for us, we have seen a similar situation with GME and wallstreebets.

However, there is also even a bigger thing which is the fact that if we knew how money works, then the rich people at the top cannot rule us, so they need us to not understand it and think it’s too risky to get in, but not doing it is even riskier because we live a poor life. So, education on economy can't be in schools to protect their investments.

Absolutellly agree. In reality, there's already some academic courses on the blockchain technology. They are not specific to cryptocurrencies but the technology is already something that is bein thaught academically. Check it here:

If every society can make use of it, this will be a very welcome development. However, people have diverse perspectives and are constantly looking for a way out of situations that will not be advantageous while also being outside of their control. Do you think that the use of cryptocurrencies has already been outlawed in many nations? If so, why do you suppose that is? And now since this should be emphasized in the curriculum of schools starting at a young age, they will also perceive it as a detrimental move toward what they were initially trying to avoid.

Why should we teach young people about a payment method at best, ponzi scheme at worst? Do we teach kids in school how to use PayPal? How to open a bank account? Why should crypto be treated differently?

I agree with you, but maybe in the event that it is branded as a Ponzi scheme, not real but fictitious, a tool for criminality, etc., educating students about it in school will significantly lessen the negative connotations attached to it by many people, and we'll witness a generation free from the belief that bitcoin is not a tool for bringing harm to society.

With time the increasing usage of cryptocurrency and acceptance will let the kids learn of their own. Just think of the traditional currency used. No one teach them how it need to be spend and used. Everything they learn out of their parents using it, same way usage of cryptocurrencies will be learnt by them.

Yeah! the cryptocurrencies are too complex if you put them in today in school rather it should be just enough to have a course for whoever wants to learn it. More likely the children will just gonna get bored with it because they still don't understand it well. right now, it is not befitting for schools but good for colleges and some groups that wanted to further expand the popularity of cryptocurrencies, they can conduct free seminars and make them open to all.

I think today's children will be smarter to keep up with the times to learn about cryptocurrencies, just like digital money which is currently widely used in my country, without formal education many people can use it. I think because it can be used legally in a country, but I think what is taught in formal education is from a business perspective, because crypto can make money if we have knowledge about it

First of all I would like to see what is money in the books instead of how great the cryptocurrency and decentralization.

In most places even the countries with high education standard don't have finance as a basic subject in the curriculum, all they tell us we should save money, get a good degree, get a better job then enjoy your retirement with the all savings but in reality no one can have millions in their account if they work and save.

The importance of investment and how to multiply the money,etc is more mandatory than teaching about Bitcoin.

That should not be directly specified within cryptocurrency specialization, instead, those kinds of things are basic digital literacy skills.

They must be taught to use digital tools yet understand the consequences if they use them without understanding full awareness within that kind of aspects. And to note, guarding seed phrase isn't merely on privacy sector but security. Generally, not everything must be related to cryptocurrencies, there is a basic skill that is essential, which has more urgency to be taught.

I seems not to understand this very statement of yours. Do you mean "fund" i.e money or "fun" i.e to play, because if it is to play then i think it is a basic necessity of every child to play, but when it comes to money, it is the responsibility of parents to carter for that, but that doesn't mean they can learn even while they play. And in regards to the topic in question, i think it will be more better if children are educated about the basic knowledge of blockchain technology in general and not been only specific about Bitcoin, as that will serve as an edge into exploring more into the world of cryptocurrency.

I think it's not necessary, our child doesn't need to know much about cryptocurrency, it's not important. what they should know is basic, they don't need to learn calculus, physics, chemistry and etc, our child does need to learn basic mathematics; addition, multiplication and etc. So in this case, what should our child learn is Blockchain, not cryptocurrency.

When you speak of kids or children, how old are you referring to? Because if you are referring to small kids as in around 7 years old, how could they even appreciate cryptocurrency? Do they really care about cryptocurrency or even money? They probably don't. Some are proposing that but I don't agree. Teach them science, math, literature, etc instead. I think crypto should be taught to high school and college students. Spare the elementary pupils.
