Topic: What is being told to people in High Schools about Bitcoin - page 3. (Read 9732 times)

let's not forget the 'contribution' of the two most famous professors associated with bitcoin. there's the professor who predicted $10 btc by 2014 or something and then there's jorge stolfi, a professor who literally devotes every minute of every day trolling bitcoin around every outlet around the globe.

that ain't much of a track record for the educated.

How dare the teacher is to stste bitcoin as illegal. even government also havent mentioned it as illegal but the only said the bitcoin is neither legal nor illegal. it doesnt have any lawa and rules.and those eho use it for ciminial activities and illegal activities why take their example. we donate with bitcoin buy things with bitcoin with but why dont the teacher sabout these positive points. RIP those teachers.

Five days ago, a friend of mine studying Economics at High School had a discussion with its teacher, regarding Bitcoin, since I told her about that. Here's what the teacher said :

1. That's illegal : He did not bring many proves here, just saying that since it has not been regulated as a currency, we were in a grey area, and something in a grey area is rarely something that will become totally white from one day to another. He added that the sole purpose of that was to buy all kind of drugs over the Internet.

2. It will crash : He said that he had studied Bitcoin's price evolution throught the time (what I doubt) and said her that being so constantly rising was a sign that it was not a viable project. Its proof : manipulated prices of things like silver or wheat are very stable !

3. Anyone clear in its head wouldn't use it : First, he doesn't recognise any kind of manipulation of the money and the danger that there is for people keeping all their savings in fiat. I know that because I had him as a teacher too some times ago. So trying to explaining him about the fact that there is a clear war against cash and evident facts, like that that shows our money need to be converted into something viable to be protected from massive surveillance, is useless. Him not understanding that, since its the best argument I have, I couldn't have replied. When she told him about the speed of transactions, he replied "we have PayPal", so I said me that it wasn't worth to ever try explaining anything. As a final point, he said again that the sole real use that is making standing apart is that you can buy drugs on the Internet...

4. Bitcoin at a bigger scale would fail : I couldn't explain you much what he said because what she told me wasn't very clear so I personnally did not understood, as her I presume how confuse her explaination was. To summarize, he said that it's still a little market and that it will fail to scale and will go back to close to nothing in value.

I'd like to get your feelings on that. Just call the arguments 1, 2, 3 and 4 and tell me what you would have replied back and what it does inspire you !

I don't know about other countries but I know that in my country children in high schools don't receive any kind of information about bitcoins. It's still some kind of tabu in education. And the knowledge of the professors is probably very poor so what to excpect. The only source of information is internet.

The knowledge of bitcoins among the high school professors is not much I assume because they have been teaching about the traditional form of transactions throughout their career.

i didn't learn much at school worth remembering. none of my teachers gave a shit. i wouldn't have expected any of them to have a clue about something like bitcoin. i don't recall any mention of any economic theory. they didn't even teach us any grammar.

bitcoin is best discovered by yourself and for yourself.

bitcoin is currently developing a vast sector. it seems there is no specific way to tell bitcoin among schools. bitcoin growing and expanding rapidly on the internet. anyone who accesses the internet will recognize bitcoin quickly.

in my country, Bitcoin is not known
Bitcoin is a strange definition, if I ask what Bitcoin is, they will only respond, "I do not know"
this pretty bad

There are no curriculum yet about bitcoins and cryptocurrencies as well as digital currencies. That is the reason why there are no formal studies and teaching about online currencies to students on High School and if there are it was just not a formal teaching but an opinion of the teacher. The teacher could make any opinion about bitcoins and its sad to say that if the teacher is negative towards bitcoin then the students who are the future users of bitcoin may be affected so as not use bitcoin due to the teachings of their teacher.
