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?

Well, if crypto currency will be used by everyone in the future. I think self awareness is really needed. However, for it to be part of the school curriculum, crypto currency should be first be approved by the government, which is we all we know not happening today.

Crypto currency is totally fully advanced system and understand to this system every body should have to get knowledge from any expert or any institutions because this system not explained in just one day or months. But now crypto is not in regular use and there is not full supporter to taught. But crypto currency teach will help to all new body in the future and will the best use in coming time.

I think it will be too early for students to learn crypto. It's better to study after school, children don't have enough information to study crypto, maybe only the basic things.

Your suggestion is an interesting one,to create massive adoption of cryptocurrency in the world, all we need is to create awareness in our school system especially in our high schools,by incorporating cryptocurrency courses in our school curriculum,that will help lay a good foundation for our young ones eg we can create blockchain technology 101 as a course.

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.

To be honest, I would be so happy if there some were financial lessons when I was at school, this is such an important thing that everyone needs to be knowledgeble about, but due to some reasons this topic is still ignored (no surprise our nation is so poor!). So yeah, crypto and blockchain could be a part of some financial course at least in university.

Personally, I am fully confident that the time will pass and the cryptocurrency will infiltrate our life almost completely. Where we will pay for cryptocurrency services. And for many it is very incomprehensible what it is. Open courses on how to handle the crypt. Schools will teach everything about cryptocurrency. And this will be the new era of the crypto of the world.

Some universities are introducing blockchain courses. The same is done by some large technology companies. I think that in the future more such areas of study will appear in universities.

- Some universities introduce blockchain because it is a new technology and it will contribute to many different fields in the future, they will soon provide this knowledge to students, which will give students more options and space to develop their careers in the future. I am very supportive of this but I hope that they will not teach more about crypto because young people are often in a hurry and want to make money early, when they know about crypto, they will know about trading and investing, bounty, they will waste a lot of time on that and affect their schooling

I think the benefits of cryptocurrency are a lot. If this system is used with good things and learned from the positive side and made the basis of education from an early age. This will slowly provide a positive value for the cryptocurrency. Hopefully in the future cryptocurreny can be more desirable and widely studied by various groups. So that a negative view of cryptocurrency will be less.

There is no really bad about cryptocurrency to be taught in schools because crytocurrency as soon as so fort might be used by everybody in the near future, if the government, all over the world would really accept cryptocurrency as part of their national currency, so it can be taught in schools.

Why not? But if we do that, let us just make sure that we are not doing that for the sake of riding what seems to be a trending wave. More importantly, we should try to look more and more on the deeper side rather than on the outer appearance, lest we fall on a pit many pseudo-believers and supporters caught themselves in when they entered during the time when the prices were at their highest.

Buy, sell and store real cryptocurrencies

I think it is necessary to study the whole blockchain technology, work algorithms, writing smart contracts, this will be useful for people in the future

I do not think that this is a good idea, because schools probably need to learn basic things, then it’s better to talk about programming as a whole, because I think that cryptocurrency is about programming and economics

Now I see that there are many universities that also do understanding about blockchain. if indeed this development is getting bigger I think it will also be a vocational for students to be able to learn it

I agree with you to make it taught in schools to teach those new generation about currencies that can help us to improve the economy and community. And I think it can give more job to those people who don't have a job to work in their own country that's why I believe that if it is going to happened it can help more people.

I'm sure it will be taught in finance courses. Some universities have already started providing blockchain courses. We are witnessing a historical moment and a revolution of finance.

It is high probable to be taught in finance courses. But as to be considered as subject in high school and in university I believe it is still early to be realized. Cryptocurrency is still in its aggressive development and it has to be established well before including it in the school curriculum.

it may still take another 10 years for crypto to be taught in high school. but if crypto develops rapidly and the government responds well it will be faster. but if you see the current conditions it seems that crypto must be restored first so that it is more acceptable to the community.
but I'm sure it's only a matter of time so we just have to wait.

If my university taught the cryptocurrency's courses, I would be happy. Instead, the learning process consists of many unnecessary subjects.

People will learn faster than we will wait for the cryptocurrency to be taught in schools, children of nine years already know the capitalization of bitcoin, and in schools they can not teach the simplest truths. So it will take a lot of time to teach cryptocurrency in schools.

I agree that in schools to present such a subject as cryptocurrency literacy, because for the future cryptocurrency, and sooner or later, every person will face the crypt.

I think it is very good to teach cryptocurrencies at school. Why? Because this can reduce the chances of teenagers being deceived, and it will enable young people to better develop blockchains in the future!

I agree. It will also teach them to be more confident in becoming a potential investors someday in which will be a good way to achieved the success. This will also help to managed the time and money wisely since they will learn a lot in cryptocurrency.
