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?

Maybe your prediction will come soon. After all cryptocurrency is the future of our world. Because of globalization why we need to adapt it also especially those youth because soon they are the one who will develop it more. It is just like today cryptocurrency is just starting but soon this word will become normal only in the world because everyone of us know it and used it.

I don't think it would be applicable to all though. Different people have different plans and interest in their lives and we cannot teach something that's not in their track 'cause they just won't learn anything they didn't wanna learn in the first place. Maybe we can teach it to business related courses, but the whole idea of bitcoin trading and market is pretty much similar to stock trading. The only thing a 'bitcoin course' would teach is the technology behind the blockchain itself, which for me, doesn't need to be learned from school as a whole semester but maybe attending seminars regarding the matter.

i think for a brief introduction you can introduce it to schools. but for this the worldwide government have to think positively about it. ofcourse crypto will grow because there are so many social communities, people associated with it and there number is increasing day by day. so if we introduce it in school it will be win win situation for all

Actually, the demand for cryptocurrencies classes is a lot. And many unformal schools already provided it, but still with a limited sector. It needs governments contributions to make formal schools have classes about it.

I don't think the adoption is able to be improved by formal educations, Instead, the usability and scalability need to be improved to be able to scale with the mainstream. As we can see, right now The UX design is complicated that make regular user having a hard time about cryptocurrencies.

Very much even with you according to but in their time there was no crypto currency. In general, older relatives live in the past when there was a nationalization of wealth in the country. I even told them when bitcoin was below $ 2000 that you need to buy it, but I was told that this is a fraud. Imagine then that I and my family would have earned a lunge during this time. Any financial asset must be kept before the peak and then sold and this is clearly shown to us by crypto-currencies.

Yes, It can be taught in School. Maybe in future schools will also start teaching about cryptocurrency.

In my opinion it could be but in some countries cryptocurrency is still considered illegal and prohibited so you have to understand the consequences, it's better if you want to introduce cryptocurrency to do it online only the rest tell the people you want to teach find their own

Many things we can't learn in the school it's fact. If crypto course in the school then also I don't think it impact much. Because we get just normal basic info and can't learn practically. This types of things we can learn with good manner just while doing. In the schools who gonna allowed to take risk or allow to dive in the market.

One of the problems that I see with a lot of people is that they think they are going to learn everything that they need to know in school, they do not understand that that is just the bare minimum, if they really want to become good at anything they will need to do their own research, just look at cryptocurrencies, you're not going to learn this in most schools around the world and yet it is going to give you some of the best benefits of your life.

both of guys were correct . if crypto would be a subject in schools , i think they will only teach thier students the basics of using it like creating a wallet account and identifying your private and public keys but schools do also have a level (e.g lower level , high school level , college level ) so the higher the level you are studying , the more advance courses that you will get . so my point is , we can still learn the advance part of cryptos if we are on college or higher level .

It would be a pleasant surprise if its been added to the education system. Perhaps people will adapt soon on cryptocurrency and being more educated on how it works. Less scam and being regulated by authorities.

Yes its a really good idea, i appreciate it. But i think it will take some time when cryptocurrency will be taught in schools or some special courses will be created specially for crypto tutorial classes.

I believe that majority of the people here in the forum, have knowledge of the cryptocurrency but don't know how details of its existing and functionality. Cruptocurrency is very complex in nature, understanding its origin, its purpose were really hard to understand even most people in the forum considering it is continually developing.

So, how could you teach them in schools?

Probably in the future it will be taught in schools, because crypto currency is a big help as well for all students especially to those who had problems with tuition. And in fact most teachers as well are interested to be involved on it nowadays but had small doubts because of some accusations around the internet. And afraid as well that maybe it can affect Student performances in school.

Of course it will and even if it isn't a standardized curriculum it already is being discussed at various levels in education. Definitely a hot topic in many college level business classes as well as in discussion at high schools. I've even heard grade schoolers talking about bitcoin so this topic of cryptocurrency is already pervasive throughout many schools.

Cryptocurrency is essentially a game only. The new Blockchain is real technology, and blockchain can grow without cryptocurrency, that's for sure. Teaching about cryptocurrency at school does not make sense.

If it doesn't make sense then why are you here in the first place? Teaching cryptocurrency in schools would be a big help for the cryptocurrency industry because it would make people be aware that it is not just a fad but it is a kind of technology that would be of help to the people and businesses alike. However, people should not just learn about cryptocurrency but of blockchain technology as a whole because it is the backbone of cryptocurrency in which it wouldn't exist without it.

Although it may be taught in school as a subject but it will be some how difficult to carry out the practical aspects most especially in some countries like Nigeria, Kenya etc. But it can still be taught in school
