It could be taught with financial courses like accounting, if it would be taught in highschool, I think only some student would be interested. If the person think that crypto is scam because of what they heard in media, try to explain and let them understand well what it truly means.

Not in the schools but in universities it could be. It will help to the youth to be more disciplined, far-sighted, smart and clever. I am only for this idea.

Yes the time will come in future because the digital currency is booming. A lot of people already use this currency. Hopefully in future it will the main transaction system. So the basic learning should start from school.

I think in the future of living, cryptocurrencies will not just going to be teach in school, it can also be teach indoors, inside the family matters. Crypto will become as important as local currency and bank notes. It will then be functional as it. Therefore, everyone should learn the use of Cryptos.

As far as I know, it is taught in schools already, but it is introduced to college students in courses like information technology, computer science, computer engineering and other courses related to computer. They are taught about the concept of nodes and blockchain technology, how it works and also mining. The non-technical side or the layman's term should be taught to the masses because cryptocurrency os an emerging technology that is here to stay for the coming years. if one can teach how to send an email or how to add a friend in social media, then teaching cryptocurrency should also be considered.
I think it is good if the students know about the upcoming currency in the world. They should also know blockchain technology and the features of this new technology. But this should be in a limit and not like a subject. There should be an informative programs in schools and in that programs cryptocurrency should be taught. Students will be aware about it before their practical life.

I am sure that many schools and universities are already entering information about crypto into their program. This market exists at the moment and people need to know about it. I think that in the future the blockchain technology will be used in many areas of human life.

I like the idealism in your comment but we do not have enough proof that cryptocurrencies are already entering their programmes although I have been reading some comments here saying so. It is good if that is true and I hope that it will become a permanent part of the education system in the near future.

I think that this is unnecessary , because most still on the cryptocurrency , but obviously when the cryptocurrency will take its place in the economic system, then it will be informed even at school.

Then they will cram because it's too late to just start learning about cryptocurrencies. The best time to teach about it is now before it even takes place in the economic system. Unfortunately, it is not feasible to have it done now.

Hi guys!
I'm pretty sure that many of you have been experiencing difficulty on making other people aware of cryptocurrency and how it works, right? I myself find it hard to explain it even to my own family. Once you mention it to them, the first thing that comes to their mind is that it's a scam. Can't blame them though because the news about crypto scams are always hyped in social media and believe me, even my 70 year old mom has Facebook!

Anyway, I realized that this is the case because there has never really been any formal education about it at all. We knew about it only thru word of the mouth right and we only got to learn it slowly thru experience. This said, I'm thinking, what if it's taught in schools? Perhaps just start with those taking Accountancy or Banking and Finance courses to begin with, then eventually incorporate it to Mathematics subject or whatever in High School? After all, they were able to do that with banking, right? Why not with cryptocurrency? What do you think?
Firstly, training requires good level specialists.  Secondly, it is payment to teachers.  Thirdly, for this it is necessary to develop a training program.  At least in the initial stage.

this sounds pretty interesting, but actually the lessons about the world of crypto in school, will still be very long to be implemented, because there are still very many countries that have not recognized crypto, and it will still be very difficult to accept
Oh yes it will be very hard to convince those authorities in the education system to incorporate cryptos in their lessons because obviously, it's not regulated so certain laws may be violated but I'm hopeful that someday soon, it will be recognized too.

I don't really understand this, but when viewed from the positive side that the sophistication that blockchain technology has may be needed in school teaching, considering that technology will develop rapidly, if there is teaching, this will take a difficult journey where there will be many contradictions, especially in many governments that have not given regulation or acceptance to digital currencies.
Yes, I know that it will be hard to introduce cryptocurrencies in lessons in school and universities because it's not regulated but in my opinion, the idea is good because then that would prepare our youth for the future when cryptos and blockchain may dominate the world.

The time will come and most likely the electives about cryptocurrency will be taught in schools, or, most likely, blockchain technology!

I think understanding Cryptocurrencies in school ages  hard without background knowledges. In high education colleges and at universities are the best place for teaching Cryptocurrencies. But when people start to use crypto as day to day tool teaching fundamental in school is prefer.
Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Fundamentals and basics only in lower grades and in depth lessons in college. This I think is a great way to prepare the youth of today in case the world turns completely digital in the future when cryptocurrency may become the universal currency of the world.

Maybe some universities includes cryptocurrency on their topics because these is the new technology in financing and it would be best if students in this new generations would know what cryptocurrency is.

I really am not sure if some universities already include cryptocurrencies in their lessons although I have seen some comments here that it is already being done in their country. It will really be great if that is true because the youth of today will already be prepared once cryptos become the main currency in the future.

Teaching cryptocurrency in school is going to be great because a lot of young people will understand the whole concept of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. The future holds so many great things and we surely know the cryptocurrency is the money for the future, so it is very important in schools to teach kids about cryptocurrency.
This is what I have in mind too actually. The world is slowly turning digital and in the future, cryptocurrencies may be the major form of currency in the world so the earlier that the youth of today learns about it from school, the better preparation it is for their future. Unfortunately, since it's not regulated, this may not be allowed to be incorporated in the education system now.

I am certain that numerous schools and colleges are as of now entering data about crypto into their program. This market exists right now and individuals need to think about it. I surmise that later on the blockchain innovation will be utilized in numerous zones of human life.
