Crypto teaching in school, for me not gonna happen, if you say rather that people are going for cryptocurrency lessons on Thier free time, that's the only thing that makes sense to me here, you should understand that most of the things you learn that are fetching you good cash today wasn't learnt from school.

I would like to attend such lessons myself. This is very cool and I think that the current students will be interesting to learn all about cryptocurrencies. I think that this will significantly increase the financial literacy of any person. Especially student

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?

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.

I don't think we have to take it to that level before many adopt it , even gold were not taught in school but many know about it, so cryptocurrency do need that either , the only way is normal use case and way of payment introducing to forum and other social media to read about it, I have someone too who I personally gave it to as an assignment and till today he has never give me back the answer and he is when learned person .
The problem I see is that many of those Ponzi scheme and scammer have spoil the image of online things which has made many to always stay away from it but with the level of things , the newbies that also try it were not fully informed on how it work but only how lucrative it is which made many to fomo and now left with nothing and you expect them to believe in it that it is not a scam after losing the money, so we have to let greedy go out of this and also know how to talk to them on how risky it is too not just sweet aspect of it .

School have been training young minds to be workers. Instead,it should train the students to be financial litterate. So, teaching cryptocurrency would be a great opportunity for students to be exposed.

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.

There is knowledge and skills gap as far as crypto-currency is concerned and what is obvious is that a requisite amount of awareness has to be created if mass adoption will happen in the crypto-currency ecosystem . So teaching crypto on school is a real welcome development if it will happen

Maybe at some point we will start to see some kind of intro to cryptocurrencies to be taught in high schools and such but as with the finance market now we will be seeing the bulk of it being taught in colleges to students that are going into the finance field and that will be fine. But there will be a time where everyone will know about cryptocurrencies as they must have come across it at some point.

you've just pointed out one of the problem in the education system since school subject are so far from real life, especially now when every day is a new technology and new discovery, especially in the digital world

well in Pakistan digital currency subject is just added as a compulsory in ACCA and CA courses. I think this is one of the best way to promote the knowledge about digital currency. Digital currency is future so it will be better to know about future things in the past. I believe Teaching crypto short way to promoting block-chain, Banks don't have to afraid because crypto is nothing without fiat currency. The crypto currency strength is known by market-cap in fiat currency. So one who think crypto replace fiat is wrong. Actually crypto help only in transfer and security rest work is on fiat.

I saw the news that many countries have begun to add blockchain knowledge points in the course, but there is not much knowledge about cryptocurrencies! I think this may be related to the policy!
The blockchain function is broader than the cryptocurrency function. Blockchain can be used in a number of sectors such as the health sector to save patients' medical records on the blockchain will provide patient data where it is safer or even more government sector can rely on blockcain to store various identification data. While cryptocurrency is only limited to the payment system and place of investment, it is only natural that there are some educational institutions that only introduce blockchain. But at least, if they know blockchain and learn it, it won't be difficult for them to know and study cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency can be taught in schools very easily. There is nothing wrong in it or complicated about it. It is easier than it seems to be. Coins like PRG, ICX and LISK should definitely be there for teaching.

It won't be bad idea to teach students crypto currency in school. Herein, I hold some of my rationales. Firstly, our world is now a home of trade and commerce. So is a rational reason of teaching crypto currency in school. Secondly, if students in schools are taught that, they must help out a better place to erase out their unemployment in future. Besides, crypto currency income has become a great concern for the business world as many the business holders are now rushing to crypto currency.Moreover, crypto currency is playing a great role to strength the economy of business world. On the whole, I think that teaching crypto currency in school should be taken as a positive approach to better our economy.

That's excellent to help massification, maybe the generation of older adults of this time cannot adapt to the cryptos, but I think the next generation in 5 or 10 years will already have a wallet when they turn 18, the benefits provided by the cryptos and the blockchain goes far beyond the simple use given by traders, they are technologies that can truly revolutionize the world.

Really good idea. The schools now do not give to children nothing which will be useful when they adult. Cryptocurrency from school time make a good future for child.

Somehow yes, some professor specially finance professor tackled about cryptocurrency, mostly the well known currency which is bitcoin but its not totally a big discussion, its like sweeping the topic/ lesson about crypto. In that way, i know that in the future, it will be introduced in the student so that they will know something about crypto and on how it works.

Now many States have a negative attitude to cryptocurrencies because of their decentralization. But I am sure that in the future, universities will have a subject about cryptocurrencies.

Very good point! I also think that it is a right time to start teaching crypto and stop hiding from government. For now it has more self education structure but soon many people will be involved in trying to study at least via courses.

Introduction of the study of crypto in the school as a separate special subject - this will cause the rapid growth of the crypto market in the next 2-3 years. And in the future, the future is a steady prosperity of the crypto industry. I wonder which country is the first to introduce this innovation?
