Topic: I have a plan of teaching college students in my neighborhood Bitcoin - page 2. (Read 670 times)

There is a bad approach to his idea (OP), but surely a great will.

I have seen this initiative elsewhere and developed they make the same mistake, well, it is not a mistake, it is a bad approach, a teacher only needs a student to execute his pedagogy, where? And how? sometimes it doesn't matter because only the knowledge is missing and someone who wants to receive it. Their case

One should not look for three people and teach bitcoin, in their case university students just tell them! Hey, do you know bitcoin? At that level it is more effective to debate and in the teaching process, university students are involved in being able to research and acquire basic knowledge.


21st century, Google! You only need to have the doubt to gain knowledge, there is no better time (epoch) to be ignorant, we only need to know in which subjects we are ignorant to investigate and get out of the absolute zero of ignorance in any subject.

____

Where? And how? / How? Where? .
After spreading the seed of the word bitcoin and the debate to help your group of college kids understand or the three-person group (for example) you should take the next level, the approach.

Find the teachers...and talk about bitcoin, the more people who like you "idea," more effective it becomes in the scope of knowledge.

Keep climbing and go to the directors, so give the seeds in them of bitcoin, in this process you may recruit some enthusiasts (director, teachers, college students).

With those enthusiasts go or send an email to your educational ministry, federation or whatever you call it in your country and create schedules of regional activities, or simply ask permission to spread bitcoin in your guild as a technological alternative that can have a not only economic effect but social.

Becoming a bitcoin ambassador only requires the desire, today's technologies can allow you to become their guild in, perhaps, a benchmark, they may not recognize your effort, in the present time, but in the future you It will be remembered, I assure you by your colleagues and students, like the teacher who told me about bitcoin.

Warning: be careful, the thin line of being recognized as a bitcoin ambassador or enthusiast is very close to the risk of losing credibility, well, you understand me if you want to spread bitcoin you know what I mean.

That is a great move mate, it is really good to share information about the crypto world to other people, thank you for sharing your knowledge about cryptocurrency to other people. There are many people who are still don't have any knowledge about cryptocurrency, it is important to have someone who will teach them about it, it will benefit them someday, here are topics that you can use to elaborate for them.
1. What is cryptocurrency?
2. What are the things we can do to cryptocurrency?
3. What is the difference of cryptocurrency to fiat currency?
4. How cryptocurrency produced?

Well, that's a great initiative and thanks for that. Here is some topics related to bitcoin as well as other crypto-currencies, you can teach to your students and i think it'll help them a lot ot understand the world of blockchain and crypto-currencies:

--> Why people should adopt Bitcoin/crypto-currency rather than Fiat and why fiat is not worthy compare to Bitcoin/crypto?
--> Difference between Open and Private Blockchain
--> Evolution of Bitcoin and ALtcoins
--> Try to cover all the blockchain type like POW, POS etc and which is more powerful
--> How the smart contract works and evolution of it
--> Also try to explain advantages of Dapp and it's powerful usages than App
--> Why Dex ( Decentralized Exchange ) is more trustable than the Centralized exchanges.

I hope, all this topic will help them to get a clear idea about the Blockchain and Crypto-currency, IMO.

In addition to what previous responders have written, I want to add that you should teach them the basic of investing in bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. The new way of scammers decieving gullible newbies and scamming them is becoming alarming. Let them understand the only way to invest safely is to buy their coins and store in their personal wallet and not on exchanges.

Also let them understand that them giving their miney to the so called cryptocurrency, blockchain experts to trade, invest or store for them is foolishness. Their patronizing of Ponzi scheme, matric, MLM business using bitcoin and other altcoins as payment option isn't cryptocurrency investment. Let them understand that before they think about investing in other altcoins they should own some Satoshi that's if they can't afford 1 bitcoin.

Goodluck, keep us updated...

It will go a long way if you do make them know how Bitcoin truly works. Today, there are a lot of misconceptions about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. I feel if people had a background knowledge about bitcoin, blockchains and cryptocurrencies, It will go a long way. Even though it's just the fundamentals. That should get them curious enough to learn.

More topics suggestion:

– Working with Bitcoin.
– Demystify some terminologies used in the crypto space.
– How blockchain works
– Crypto markets and why it's not a typical get rich scheme as most ponzi schemes make it look.

That and  suggestions by members should be enough. Goodluck with your campaign. I'd be keeping an eye out for updates!

It’s a great thing that you are going to teach college students about Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, especially in this worldwide pandemic.

In the Philippines, there are a few well-known universities who are offering blockchain elective courses. When I was in Cebu City as a keynote speaker to educate students and teachers about Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and blockchain, the faculty, staff and crypto advocates invited me for a meeting-after-meeting session.

It convinced them to consider implementing courses that would cover Bitcoin, cryptos and blockchain technology in their curriculum. It’s all about continued awareness, advocacy and education about the real and positive use cases of it.

As for the OP, you’ve done a wonderful job in doing this to your college students. Cheers!

of the three topics that you mentioned are indeed important topics to convey. But more important is how to safely store or use a bitcoin wallet. Because many people are careless with the storage method they use. one example of using a hardware wallet is a safe way that can be used but must buy a wallet with it for about $ 100- $ 200. All also depends on each user. Some students might understand better what they have to do to secure their bitcoin wallet.

There is a lot to learn if you want to get into the cryptocurrency market, if you want to tell new people about bitcoin I think there are a few things you should tell them:
The short definition of bitcoin, its advantages, disadvantages and history
How to create Bitcoin wallets and store them
The scams on the cryptocurrency market
The risks of participating in the cryptocurrency market
Personally, I would like to tell them, "Never invest everything in bitcoin."

You can post the lessons here also I'm sure many newbies will benefit, that is going to be a rewarding experience for you and your students it's easy to teach this technology to students than these professionals because you can easily arise their curiosity and inspire them to embrace this technology, you can include the profit that people are making here but also teach the volatility of the market.

The idea of sharing your knowledge with others is generally a positive thing, but I would advise you to be careful when it comes to something that involves money or anything that can lead to financial losses. You should also take into account that you will put yourself at risk if you go public, because maybe someone thinks that you have a significant amount of BTC and you can become the target of an attack.

Don't let this discourage you, but I think you have to look at the other side of the coin and consider what you can gain and what you can lose. You can teach others without physical contact using some video apps, or you can create a website and then share it with your friends.

Wow.l! That is such a good initiative. They will surely be interested in crypto and be knowledgeable about it because of you teaching them such.

I know some people who knew about bitcoin early but didn't even bothered to tell others about it. So I salute you sir for sharing your knowledge to those students. Hope, they will also pass on what they will learn from you so that others will be able to know bitcoin better. After all, sharing is caring.

I think your ideas are much better then students can easily learn and gain knowledge about crypto This will double the demand for crypto There are many students who sit even after completing graduation. If they learn about crypto from now on, they will be able to analyze everything very easily while working on crypto I will find away Much better decision to brighten their future Best of luck.

I've bookmarked the page. I will go through this till the lockdown is lifted and life returns to normalcy. I will try my very best to inculcate deep knowledge and relative understanding in them.

As I see it, the age range has the capacity to understand at least the basic topic mentioned by other community members here. Maybe it would be better to share your lesson plan here in the community in order for other members to examine and suggest a good chronological order of bitcoin related topics that you can teach.

Just to give you glimpse of topics that you can easily teach: https://www.lopp.net/bitcoin-information.html#

Age range from 14-23.
Financial ability I can't vouch for each of them but I think 4/10 of them can afford a smartphone and would be able to access the internet.

I like your idea and I hope they learn this techy valuable thing, that is bitcoin.

Teaching to this great technology will I guess 3 weeks is not enough, because there crucial factors that they must learn not just bitcoin is a form of payment or investment, they should understand the mechanism on it.

I don't know where to start but I think from basic to the inner core of what is bitcoin.
-Understanding the Mechanism of Blockchain
 * Blockchain technology
 * Blockchain platforms
 * Blockchain software
 * Blockchain services offered

Some dippest examples that listeners will learn.

Good luck with your journey and stay safe upon teaching.

Great I honestly think that teaching cryptocurrency, blockchain, or bitcoin really needs to be teach in schools.

Surely blockchain technology needed to be adopted in a lot of countries and student needs to learn about this future technology. Maybe some countries could add blockchain or cryptocurrency as a subject for some college students.+

I support what you are doing just giving them knowledge about bitcoin is definitely a big help.

It is a very good idea. I always appreciate this type of idea. If you really wanna teach them well. I suggest you that, first of all, don't talk about income, teach them basic about BTC and Blockchain first. no matter how much you teach, without basic it will incomplete and useless. secondly, I suggest you to teach them about all kind of crypto currency. After that inform them about the BTC market, tell them the history of BTC, and give them an idea of what the future of BTC. I think your teaching will be successful, if you teach them step by step.
Best of luck

Final year students at what level of education, university/college or high school final year students, that's important in deciding the direction your tutoring will take, as well as the age of the students, their understanding capacity and financial strength, as far as investments is concerned.

I'll take universitity students for example, from my experience of those who have approached me, they are more concerned about 'how to invest in bitcoin' and already have, maybe not a firm, but at least a grip of the basics. If you are going to be teaching younger students, investment which involves capital may not be paramount, their curiosity will be more of "what is bitcoin".

I am curious about the lesson plan and why you think working on Bitcoin or crypto is a good choice or not for them.
however, related to what topics they should know:
1. it must be the basic about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies
2. Tell the profits and also risks that we will probably gain in the crypto world
3. Tell about the prospect of the income to be got from crypto, but never tell that it will be very promising and aking them rich easily.
