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?
that is really interesting point! indeed, since the world updates we have to consider new subjects in schools. and i think it is more than wise to start learning these new things.

I do not think it's a good idea. At school, there are enough different and necessary subjects for studying. Cryptocurrency must be dealt with, having already mastered the course of the school. This should be approached consciously and seriously.

In this it seems to me that there is no point, because lately cryptocurrencies are becoming more and more transparent, I think that in this respect we will soon come to the conclusion that tokens will be securities and cryptocurrencies will be only BTC and ETH

In schools, it is necessary to study not a specific crypto currency, but to introduce the principles of programming in cryptography into the educational process of the senior classes, as well as blockchain technology.

Yes, this could happen in the future if crypto could be taught in schools so that it would be more widely known, but it might not be that fast because it certainly needs a process and approval from the government

If crypto is taught in school is a good and interesting thing, in this case students can learn about bitcoin so that it will not happen with a negative response.
Teachings about bitcoin will provide benefits as well as lessons in banking. Global knowledge about bitcoin will support the advancement of time and technology.

It can be taught in school because the cryptocurrency world really helps many people to make money, but there are still many countries that have not legalized cryptocurrency so it will be difficult to make it real.

Yes, it's quite necessary cryptocurrency is taught in our schools, what the masses need is the basic knowledge of cryptocurrency blockchain,they need to be educated about the subject to enable them move freely with the technology.

Along with the ongoing debate within the community, maybe now is not the right time to enter cryptocurrency into one of the subjects in school. Slowly but surely cryptocurrency will enter into one of the contents of education which teaches about economics.

Well, this is one of the best idea so far because we all know that teaching cryptocurrencies are quite difficult and hard to explain. Buf ofcourse we are not selfish so we wanted to share them on how we earned money. And today we all know that there are many people who want earn and learn. So why don't teach at schools.

Yes I agree with you to make it taught in school to make the new generations learn how crypto really helpful not the scam news like that. And I think if it will happened to all schools many people will realized how they can help their needs with this crypto. But still I think it will took so long to legalized 1st in every country.

I don't think that's a good thing. in school they should be taught more about morality and character, crypto is a separate place and I think schools are not suitable places for their stages

 This is a very great idea because she students to invest and learn real things aside from just learning academic things he is so realistic and they will be prepared for the real world that's waiting for them when they're done in school.

Well, it probably will be superfluous, because why should the children know how this is arranged? Perhaps it's best to study at a university lesson, because we're studying financial structures at a university or college.
The course of Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency would not be worth studying in college because it the topic really isn't complicated.

Maybe this is a great idea to teach cryptocurrency in schools, but we need to remember that cryptocurrency is not yet accepted, so it needs approval from the school first. They will decide to teach crypto after there is any sign from the government and they will add a crypto lesson in their schools. But maybe we can give a free lesson to young people in the college first than in schools because they can think more about crypto and they can decide to join or not and besides that, they can learn by themselves.

All things in this life we all need to learn, when we are young we can go to school to easily learn other things in the future. And the future of the investors here is crypto

I think that it would be helpful if some economics subjects will be have lesson about how cryptocurrency works since because it would be helpful for the students to have additional and extra income for them. And it is also an innovation for the modern era, where technological advancement is observed.

Of course it will be useful if we want a better future, we should give the children a maximum of knowledge about current technologies and the possibilities of the world, otherwise how will they build the future?

incorporate it to Mathematics subject or whatever in High School?

The likelyhood of crypto being incorporated at that education level are very slim. What is taught at the moment is just a little tiny bit about finance, like calculating the interest of a bond and things like that. Thinking of crypto, even if I wish it were taught, I think it won´t happen.

However, we can teach crypto to anyone interested, so it depends on us.

I'm just going to tell something about current state of education in my country. Our primary school students doesn't even have informatics as main course yet, so here we are definitely a long way from studying cryptocurrencies in schools.

But yes, idea would be great because we should all be aware of how the blockchain works, and what it is based on, specially because we all are going to use it in some way or another in near future. Also we can already see more and more faculty implementing blockchain and cryptocurrencies courses which is a great step towards mass adoption.
