Topic: What is being told to people in High Schools about Bitcoin - page 7. (Read 9732 times)

Well, you gotta explore/socialize more. Try introducing bitcoins to your friends and you'll be shocked at their reaction. Almost everyone thinks that their superior amongst other people.

While you're talking about bitcoins, your friends will ask you if it's actually legit and if it's not a scam. Regardless of your answer, your friends would be thinking "Look at this guy. He thinks he's so cool and he's earning money but I'm sure that whatever he's doing it's a scam. It's done online and I'm sure just like all the other things that involve money online, it's also a scam. Haha."

These haters know nothing about bitcoin and probably did very little research just to sound smart when someone brings up the bitcoin topic.

in my situation ive never heard about that bitcoin is scam , when i was first in BTC world ive started at earning satoshis and they were never told me that BTC was scam

Teachers can get away with it because now what is taught at schools is how to be a good sheep, as soon as you open your mouth and question something teachers will try to shut you up with their authority and if you don't give up you are labeled as a trouble maker.

I agree to much ego i guess.  And since they think that student are far inferior to their knowledge, they can talk any bullshit and pretend that it is the fact which if researched and study brings no relevance to what they are describing.  I wonder when will this teacher just tell their student that they don't know rather than creating fact based in their opinion.

Well,that's what's the mainstream media and society is about.It will always present the things not in the right order and we experience that every day all around us.That's why we are the people that should represent BTC in a positive light Prêt bancaire.We should be the ones spreading the positives about BTC and only then more people will start actually associating BTC with positives.

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 !

The teacher in the first place has a positive response into bitcoin and glad to hear that teacher is one new bitcoin enthusiast, but the things which is not good is I think teacher was mis-informed about in bitcoin matter.

Ignorant professor, he just shared his opinion about something he doesn`t know nothing about. Professors should have some responsibility, if they don`t know something, they need to learn about it and only then to teach young people and discuss with them about it.

Analyzing the statements of that teacher, it seems evident that his reasonings are based exclusively based on prejudices of the classic economy, without valid arguments of who knows this ecosystem in a minimal way.

So I think trying to convince these foolish people is just a waste of time, despite their university degree.

If we study the modern economy and the financial market in the world, make sure you will be dealt with questions about bitcoin. That's for sure.

In high school, its mean we want to tell about the bitcoin for the student, Personally, i don't think that it is good idea, because if you ask about college or university than may be i am agree with you, but in school, it is suitable place for bitcoin, because in school life it is not a age of earning, so it is wasting our time, But in one point i am agree with you, and it is that we should do something for publicity of bitcoin.   

In my country, kids in High Schools were not taught about cryptocurrency, they are more focused on academics, history, Mathematics, Science, Home Economics, Carpentry etc.  Not a single word about bitcoins.  Even teachers are unaware of bitcoin. If someone known it, they think it is a scam or some multi level marketing product.
