If people would truely understand fiat money, they'd use Bitcoin!

Right. Financial education as a whole is not taught enough in schools and many people are unaware how money works, besides earning and spending. Mandatory financial education will make people understand why they need alternative assets which hold value, such as Bitcoin. (Although Bitcoin does one better by functioning as a payment alternative).

The reality is not everyone would be interested in Bitcoin or keen to use it, it doesn't have to be imposed on kids, if they do not care for it. Financial education on the other hand is pivotal to everyone.

The 40 year old business man is unlike any other typical ruler you may know as he believes that Bitcoin is unlike any other subject and should be taught in schools as knowledge of the coin is quite important.

I think it's much better to teach fiat money in schools. Amazingly, barely anyone understands how the fiat money they work for is created. To quote Henry Ford:

I agree with you on that because frankly, knowledge of anything is easily grasped at a tender age and inclusion of Bitcoin into schools will help spread it's spread and then children and also teachers alike can understand how it works.

The man is pretty influential so I guess his voice means something to a lot of people in his country. Academic institutions who have heard of his opinion might consider looking into the possibility of integrating Bitcoin-related courses.

I agree with him that it is important for "the history of money" to be taught in schools. I suspect that more than 90% of a country's population don't know how money actually works. I cannot remember having an in-depth discussion in my university days of what money actually is or why it is basically founded on debt or whatever. I think everybody should be aware of it.

The prince, a self-described Bitcoin (BTC) maximalist, hinted that part of his keynote address at the crypto conference — only the second one for which he was a speaker — will focus on informing those in and out of the space of the potential benefits of Bitcoin.

It says he is a BTC maximalist like his father. With someone with the knowledge and who can tell his citizen what to do, he would be making the adoption spread among his people. And starting it with the young people in the school will be a better idea to educate them on blockchain and BTC.

Serbia will not be the first to add blockchain and BTC to thier curriculum, there were already countries before them.

It's no news of the widespread reach of Bitcoin and how the knowledge of it is slowly creeping into the nooks and crannies of the world. Leaders around the world are calling for the inclusion of Bitcoin study into the curricula of students and the ruler of Serbia is no different.

Speaking at a conference on Thursday at the casino de Barritz to a coin telegraph personnel, Prince Filip of Serbia gave his two cents on his opinion of Bitcoin.

The 40 year old business man is unlike any other typical ruler you may know as he believes that Bitcoin is unlike any other subject and should be taught in schools as knowledge of the coin is quite important.
Although not having the ability to making it a legal tender like El Salvador and Central African Republic did, he feels that it's a better form of "Sharia money' for any Muslim country.

Serbia is another country that is Bitcoin friendly and although exchanges like Bitpanda, Bitstamp are used there, is there a way that more Bitcoin related hubs and villages can be built borrowing a leaf from El Salvador to help a better spread of it?
