Topic: Digital Currencies being taught in schools - page 2. (Read 293 times)

I just read today, that "Vitalik Buterin teams up with Stanford to found the Center for Blockchain Research".
I personally believe that is very and very useful to teach the next generations about the concepts that can disrupt so many existing industries just like that.

I believe this can regard that the world has created concern and see the importance of how digital currencies are affecting our world. Although I am not fully know about what the course will be teaching, I hope it is talking about more on technology, and how digital currencies can affect and enhance our world in different field or industry, rather than focusing on teaching students how to trade right? Behind digital currencies, that is talking about the blockchain technology behind, which should be the focusing part of how a particular digital currency is trying to develop an idea.

It's good and bad. It's good because it legitimizes cryptos, but bad is that I can just imagine an impulsive getting into crypto and making wrong move, losing everything.

A semester cannot teach the experience here. It cannot teach what failure teaches you.

like i use to say, cryptocurrencies will take much percentage contributions in the world economy soonest, because those countries that re rejecting cryptos ill begin to see the benefits of it even they have been seeing it, now nothing bad in starting taking course in cryptocurrency in our schools even at the university level.

Of course, man. Remember when the internet came into the world, about the middle 90's. Not only in universities, but also in high schools, they began to introduce internet courses to their students, as well as word, excel and related stuff. The crypto world is new technology, and maybe it is how the world is going to work in a decade. Universities must be at the head of that, not only by teaching but by researching all the related to the blockchain technology.
Besides, a complete insight into how the tech works will allow the students to find a good job in the future, or it should.
We need well-informed people on the crypto. It is the only way for it to really succeed in the future. If we continue with all this misinformation having place at the present, with all the scams, the robbery, crypto will decay and become something scammy from the past. The lack of information is one of the biggest problems the new tech has.
So, in conclusion, of course, universities must take the lead and include in their programmes all related to the blockchain technology and the crypto world. Just remember there is a huge difference between the blockchain and the crypto. The first is the tech behind many things, as massive data storage, for instance; the second one of the multiple uses that the tech itself can have, Understanding this new, rare, complex world needs time and explanation. Also, this is just the point of the iceberg. By researching more profoundly the tech, I'm sure much is about to be discovered.

Its a good news to all the students who wants to learn digital currencies , when universitiea and schools all over the world will taught their students about digital currencies , this will help them a lot in their financial problems in school and at home. Some other students now are learning about the digital currencies or what we called also the cryptocurrencies without any taught of their schools.

I think this is great news! Not only does it increase the awareness of crypotcurrencies to those who are yet to get to know them, but it also helps those interested in this field to learn more about it and how to benefit from it. The fact that it has been introduced into the curriculum suggests that it is a permanent addition to society rather than a fad.

I'm with you on that one. Digital currencies being taught in schools cements the fact that cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology are already embedded into our socio-economic framework. I heard that we really are not only transitioning into using virtual currency, but into a safer virtual world as well. Our lives will be linked to technology.

I just came across the news that universities in U.S.A are offering course on digital currencies among this universities are University Of California, Stanford University and etc.
