How to prevent the risk will be necessary to be one lesson because not all people know how to do that. Many of us are getting stuck in the higher price without we can sell the bitcoin because the price is down too deep. If they want to try to trade, you need to besides them, and you can tell what step by step to starting trading is. As a beginner, they need to teach by you because they don't have much knowledge about crypto, trading, and investment, so you need to explain the details to them.

I do not like the term "prevent". There are always risks in every investment so the best term that we should use is how we should manage the risks very well. There are a lot of investors who lose money in cryptocurrencies just because they do not know what they are into. They keep buying bitcoin because their expectation it will grow quickly. Managing risks are important especially if we want to grow and protect our capital.

Then we will use the term "avoid." Using the term "manage" for the investment will be okay Grin

The risk will always be there, whether we realize or not, but we can avoid the big risk. We must manage our money to be used for the investment, and that will work too in the crypto investment. If you want to buy bitcoin, you need to decide how much money you want to use to buy bitcoin. You can keep buying bitcoin, but you need to have an analysis to know when you can buy bitcoin at a low price.

There are lots of things to learn about cryptocurrency, and they need to understand a lot of things when it comes to internet Business, since cryptocurrency is part of the internet. You need to let them know about scam just like some have pointed out here, it's really important. And they should also understand how the transaction works and know everything about fees.

Moreover, why I am pointing out that they should know about the online scams there is, is so that they will be able to stay clear from it and not make mistakes. This is a really long story, you should do the research and you should add it to your lesson plans.

If some of your student interested, don't forget to tell them to backup their seeds or private key.

This must be a basic and foremost step for any internet activity. People need to remember their password when they create their new email ID and then the password is something too long and in unreadable format then they must go for taking proper back up. Same applies to seed and private keys.

If you are not familiar with basic internet things, then honestly bitcoin is not at all for you. You must get familiar with all pre-cautionary measurements of internet first and then you must take time to study about bitcoins and how to invest and how to securely save bitcoins and then only you must go for buying your first bitcoins.

The school allowed you to do this?
I mean, there is no curriculum about this right?

I am just intrigued on how you pulled it off.
Other schools won't allow this since it is not covered by anything. But I guess it is because they are graduating college students.
Forgive my nosiness. Grin

So, I made a post about me teaching college students about Bitcoin and it's usage. I asked for few things that would make up my lesson plans here.https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54708539 The positive replies I got was enough for me. So, I came up with these;

1. General introduction to Bitcoin
2. What it is used for
3. Introduction to a forum dedicated for discussion of Bitcoins named Bitcointalk Forum
4. Mining
5. Digital skills
6. Last week would be used for quizzes and setting up Bitcoin accounts and prizes would be won for serious students among them.

Your criticism is a welcome one too. Embarrassed

Don't forget to teach them the risks involve in going into BTC trading, mining and other things related. And as well bring them to the understanding of how this risks and the fear of not achieving anything after dedicated work can be resolved.

Same order but It should also discuss the market, so they can understand how volatile the bitcoin is.

You're right but i mentioned exchange site because theres no way he will discuss about exchange site with the exclusion of trading which will make them understand the dangers in crypto investment.

If you need a lesson plan, I will suggest you check out some books on cryptocurrencies. Also depend on the level of understanding of the student you are taking will give you idea of what you are to put up as topic. Introducing the underlying technology which is the blockchain should be the first topic to consider then you can start to broaden the technology as sub topics. For this, I will suggest a book titled "The Basics of Bitcoins and Blockchains: An Introduction to Cryptocurrencies and the Technology that Powers Them' by Antony Lewis.

There should also be a advantages and disadvantages of bitcoin, although it may already be included to your lesson plan, the risks it have like scams and ponzi, how to distinguish one, the red flags and how to avoid falling for those scams.

Bringing this into a much highlighted way in order to inform everyone in regards to this bad/illegal
practices / activities of scammers and hackers.
There are lots of ideas that might be tackled from your lesson plans but bringing this facts to wider
audiences will allow them to prepare better.

It's nice to see that topics like this are now available and spreading the more information about
bitcoin and blockchain technology.
Spreading and sharing knowledge will invite more interest and bring more new investment to
this system.

"2.What it is used for." is kinda pointless,because Bitcoin is a currency,so it's common sense that Bitcoin could be used for purchasing goods and services and as a store of value.
You should definitely include a lesson about the blockchain and a lesson about the Bitcoin Hardforks/Softforks.
Your students shouldn't get confused that there are a few versions of Bitcoin that aren't Bitcoin Core.
Anyway,the rest of the lesson plan looks fine and great job for teaching other people about Bitcoin,OP.

Sure, they will definitely ask. I can actually tell them a lot. I'm still gathering more information. If this question was thrown at you as a teacher how would you answer it?

Man, I was asking you. You sure did pull out the reverse uno card huh? As you're the one that's actually going present, not me. Tongue

Anyway, I'd put emphasis on:

1. Disadvantages of the current fiat system in general
2. Advantages of Bitcoin being decentralized and it giving people self-sovereignty
3. Advantages of Bitcoin's scarcity
4. The risks of self custody

And finally, while I'm not doubting you because I don't know how much knowledge you have, but actually make sure you know what you're talking about before doing a presentation. False or misleading information can be dangerous. Best of luck.

This is a good one, you have to make them understand the difference between fiat and btc. Be honest and let them know the risk too. I think you should have a different chapter about scams in crypto, so they should be aware about it as a beginner. You should be responsible in introducing them about btc, because if you teach btc without the risk, some of them may really believe that its an easy place to earn money, they will see it not as a currency but only a place for money. Then they will become just like those beginners who quickly jump right away without even knowing its risk.

and also please be aware that only a few will follow and listen to you at first so better be aware of that,never be frustrated and never be surrendering.
This place needs more of you so keep it up.

Indeed, the challenge here is how to keep the audience interest up at all times. So OP must think of a very entertaining approach that will keep his listener's attention on the subject without the use of overhyped messages or get rich quick method. We all know that finance gains make the audience interested but it will be devastating to the pockets of the listeners.

Nice, can I ask on what course subject will you teach that to your students?

I guess it'll fit on Data communications or Computer programming, you should include Blockchain after the introduction of Bitcoin so they can fully understand it's capabilities when you tackled topic no. 2.

The further discussions should be the last one and change the topic no. 3 as different kinds of wallets in BTC.

I admired your plan but first you need to keep yourself and the students save by applying the right good social hygiene.
With that been said, i would like to advise you to re arrange the lesson in this form
1. General introduction to Bitcoin
2. What it is used for
3. Wallet
4. Exchange site
5. Introduction to a forum dedicated for discussion of Bitcoins named Bitcointalk Forum
6. Mining
7. Digital skills
8. Last week would be used for quizzes and setting up Bitcoin accounts and prizes would be won for serious students among them.

so that some of the student wont focus much on joining bounty campaign rather focusing on the lesson.

You should also point out why is it a superior technology then Fiat, stocks and Gold and how it would change/fix the flawed system of our current monetary system.
The above workflow is all good to me, i wish more teachers like you starts introducing it to more youths for them to know how evil the banking system is.
May i ask, where do you teach ?

I'm not quite sure what subject you thought and why you were able to insert bitcoin of your topics since there is a course syllabus as guide for college students and a module or curriculum guide for primary and secondary students. I am amaze of you having so much time that you can insert bitcoin as we all know that it could take so much time in teaching bitcoin because of its technical aspect.

So how could you also discussed and explain if found out from your dean or principal that your topics being thought is not relevant to the course curriculum guide or syllabus? Bitcoin is not yet being approved to all generally as it could be helpful to the community even if we can say that btc would be cashless. Banks had also made some cashless transactions to which will not be requiring to use the btc.

BTC could be risky also for your students knowing that they are new and will be throwing their money away unless you teach them about bounty hunting. However bounty hunting could only earn cents.

But if you really want to teach them then make them aware of what btc is all about and then let them focus on products and services that they could use in order to earn btc and just by buying it.

These are all the basics which is really worthy for you to start on when you are tending to teach up on zero-knowledge students about Bitcoin.

They would able to grasp it easily since this generation is already aware in most techy thing around so that wont really be a problem.

As mentioned earlier it would really be good to teach out on how to avoid scams and frauds that do exist into this market.

Also, teach them that bitcoin isnt really only solely for making money but rather into its true usage when it comes to digital payment system.

A very good idea by teaching bitcoin to college students, this is something that must be done from now on. This will make bitcoin
more popular and hopefully there will be mass adoption, and in my opinion began to explain with the following material

1. What is Bitcoin
2. The advantages and disadvantages of Bitcoin
3. How to get Bitcoin
4. Where to store and sell Bitcoin
5. Legality of Bitcoin

The five points above must be explained to college students, so they really understand about Bitcoin.

Before actually teaching them about Bitcoin, we must at least teach them on where did it came from and not just Bitcoin. Bitcoin is to broad to be a topic because we are only using Bitcoin as a basis (for some) cryptocurrency. Learning about Bitcoin would really take a lot of time and we must be ready to be asked a lot of questions pertaining on how does the Cryptocurrency Industry work. It would be really good to teach them to students who are around in the field of Computer Science.

Not only students in the field of Computer Science. Other fields such as economics also become important fields to know about Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin is related to the Digital economy which is currently popular.

Learning about bitcoin from the start of understanding and history of bitcoin will provide good education. Bitcoin is not just an asset that gives money to its holders, but has unique technology that is not owned by other currencies.
