How about teaching basic financial literacy in public schools instead?

Most countries in the world don't give their kids and students an adequate (if any at all) teaching about money management, saving money, how money works, how to make more money, etc. and the result is that you got a bunch of unemployed broke people angry at the government for failing them, because that's what we taught them in schools (what they call "social studies").

Only BTC
There is another new similar topic about this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/crypto-currency-should-be-integrated-into-school-curriculum-5416732

Members' on bitcointalk have discussed about this in that topic and i also think in many other topics that i don't know about, some have agreed and others have disagreed with reasons they think is correct, opening another similar topic of discussion is not going to get crypto 'infused' into the academic system, if you think it should be brought into the academic system then you should start making a move in your country, write to the appropriate organizations that are in control of making that kind of change, then you can post about the effort you have made to make crypto a part of academic discipline in your country.

Academic systems are developed in such a way to provide quality education through which students can have stability in life and better career opportunities. More the skills developed thyself will help them open more doors of opportunities. For now it is too early to make cryptocurrency education mandatory. For now crypto have got majority usage as an investment and trading asset than a real currency.

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.
Cryptography itself been exist for long time.

But specifically a course regarding the cryptocurrency / bitcoin are not really become a focus in any university .. we have witnessed that a lot high caliber university such as harvard have a blockchain technology course in their computer science curriculum. So it's been there tho.

You cannot educate people on a new technology, if that technology are not clearly defined in the financial system. Some countries define Crypto currencies as a Commodity and some countries define it as a Commodity. Their regulations and laws are not even been finalized yet, so it is difficult to bring that into the education system.

The current education system are based on old school Fiat guidelines and they are not going to accept change, because those old farts are in control of those systems. (The younger generation will bring the change in the future)  Roll Eyes

Sometimes learning directly on the internet is much more useful than in school.
Including cryptocurrency in academic education in schools will only add to the burden on children because there is more to learn which in the end is not very useful when they enter the world of work.

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

Fear of being defrauded or scammed
Stories of people being ripped of their cryptocurrency through false investment links and scam websites
Lies of mining websites.

While Cryptocurrencies/ Bitcoin are being taught in schools, Privacy also shouldn't be over looked at, Children should be taught in every possible way to keep and guard those seed phase.
Childhood should be fund though, most parents wouldn't want to accept this but for the sake of the future, then they need be taught.
