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?

Its a good Idea but as of now we do not have an accurate information of it. We can not depend  cryptocurrency because we do not have a possible research about. Many process will take before it will be implemented as a curriculum in school. We need to have a deeply research for it if we really want crypto to be taught in schools. Before we teach it to the students we need to understand it well first.

It can't be taught as a course nor a subject it's an investment. And I don't think investments are being taught in schools. Cryptocurrency will gain mass adoption it's a gradual process.

They cannot start teaching it in schools, it is just one of those things that you learn about in the real world like doing taxes and taking out loans, unless you are a finance major, then you would have to learn about it in school. The information out there is just enough that it does not need to be taught in schools and cryptocurrencies are not that complicated

Electronic money can not be taught in school. In Vietnam, the more can not happen. Electronic money is a relatively risky venture. Be knowledgeable and brave. Electronic money not recognized by Vietnamese law should not be taught to students.

Cryptocurrency on it's own is a broad topic that can be studied on it own. Don't know what part that should be taught in highschool, the technological aspect or the trading aspect Smiley

To think that cryptocurrencies can be taught at school, when most of the economic institutional world does not know what it is, or considers it a bubble or a passing fad, is simply utopian.
Maybe, in a few years, who knows ...

i think its should not in this space. However cryptocurrency should be separated from school. I dont see any advantages that couls be gained from school or student's view besides the direct profit of crypto itself. Seems like the students only teach how to profit and being a gold digger.

At their age, they should be teach more about moral and be creative. We also didn't know until when the crypto will live.

Recently, we can see that universities and economic nations accepting crypto currency and block-chain technology. Moreover, schools also should basic things about crypto currency. They add an chapter on banking or trading subject.

everything will be necessary! it's only a matter of time. once there were no computers in schools, but now every student has Internet and computers. Cryptography also concerns, soon these new technologies, will begin to teach in schools, just need to wait.

It's too early if you have to talk about cryptocurrency in school and I think it's still difficult for now. Except for this education program, it's already in a country that has fully supported cryptocurrency. That too must go through a process that I think takes a very long time. Because basically every country already has its own currency. But your opinion is enough to be calculated, maybe in the future it might happen.

Yes, I think with time we will need crypto education. Now we just need to explain people from our experience: saying it's not a bubble nor a scam. We need to start with talking to people we can reach out to.

With crypto becoming popular, I guess it's about time to make people know about crypto in schools. This will be a great help for the crypto market and for the people. People will be aware on what's happening in crypto and they will know that it will be helpful in their daily lives.

The school is always late when it comes to dealing with what is new, only the personal initiative of some enlightened teacher - often against the opinion of the school authority - succeeds in bringing some newness into the school.
For the rest, no hope.

For me, no need to bring crypto in schools. Learning about crypto depends to an individual. If he/she is interested about it, then he/she will take time to study if how it works. There are some people who do not believe in crypto because for them, it is not legit.

I think that knowledge is certainly needed, and it should not be just in school, but in society. To understand all the essents at least the basis of economic sciences. So far, the crypto-currents for the people are not clear

Maybe if this will be taught in all schools would be a good thing. Crypto is a great income and even to the future, it will be more promising. Learn this early on certainly makes it great for crypto deepens if it wants to enter it. but perhaps that is still a constraint is still many countries that have yet to allow or legalize their u.s. crypto. so, of course, the study of this crypto could not thoroughly evenly in the different countries.

if it happens it is a positive and good development, of course in my opinion, not the currency that is taught in school, but the blockchain system

it is very difficult for now schools can provide additional lessons about crypto, because why there are still many countries that have not been able to accept and legalize crypto money. and also the risk is still in its own right, unless the government can accept and can legalize crypto, and already has the body responsible for crypto, it all requires a long time and process so that crypto can be accepted by the community, to achieve that all of us in this forum is also responsible for promoting crypto money to the people around us.

I dont think any schools would be interested in teaching bitcoin in their classes because cryptocurrencies for the moment is a very big issue in terms of legality. As long as crypto is not regulated by the government of a country, it will never reach the schools for subject and such.

Absolutely, all must have permission from the government if bitcoin will enter school. Education in schools is a government program and with government approval, but if the student is learning outside of education I think it is easier to give an understanding of bitcoin.

we know that not all countries can accept the cryptocurrency. we also have to look from that side. if all of that supports it, then it will be good to start it. if young people have started to recognize cryptocurrency then it will give them the benefits. certainly, they must be more careful.
