Not specifically BTC but cryptocurrencies in general. You think it will become a course of study / college degree at some point?
There are a lot of people who think there should be a school for those who are interested in the blockchain and I also want this. But this is really hard when many countries around the world are trying to enact laws that prohibit it.

Well, bitcoin should not be a college course. If universities need to learn, it should be a knowledge of the blockchain.

I cant think of it as a major subject because we all know that this is all temporary, who knows what will happen in the future? Plus a lot keeps banning it and taking it as something illegal.

 Though it wont be tackled in college , students/people may always be an enthusiast with cryptocurrencies through internet where it all originated from. Just needs a lot of hard works.

for me Yes, because bitcoin has many ways to use it especially when it comes to college fees and as a subject can be much explored especially when it comes to major subjects.

Will BTS be a major in college? Maybe it's time to use bitcoin in college so that those who are online can use their education
for the bitcoin to be used for other purposes and to take advantage of the time
and their dream is to achieve

I don't think there needs be one specifically for it, it could be contemplated within existing courses, or added to them rather.


I don't think that is partly needed in college being a major subject. Because bitcoin can be done anywhere in the internet information or can be teach by yourself as now a this many people knows about how to used computer by accessing them.

Yes this is and will be a course in my schools(colleges, Universities etc) around the world and as far as I know, some schools are already offering this for their students.
The University of Nicosia in Cyprus as a digital course already >>> https://digitalcurrency.unic.ac.cy/

Yes, it could be applied to the future IT majoring students as long as they have crypto technology and with blockchain technology to be the future subject so that students can understand quickly.

You can already get your Masters degree in Digital Currencies - even from the comfort of your own home (online courses)!

The degree is offered by the University of Nicosia:

You can find an overview of the offered topics here:

If you are still not sold on the degree, look at some of the people, who are involved as teachers:

what if it can be done. and if it is true what degree will be given.? i think it is too much to respond if bitcoin be a college majors maybe it sounds strange. if they want to learn bitcoin do not need to take the majors about it enough understand it regularly on the already experienced. but if on his blockchain system may have many colleges that use it. because bitcoin is always associated with blockchain technology.

I think crypto is not something to take care on the school but it may be as extra material for these who want to, like music at some schools or sports.
Do not agree with you at all. Why can't crypto be considered at school level? You definitely do not need to be a genius to begin learning the basics of the crypto world and even the advanced concepts are not too difficult to learn. There are so many resources available these days online and offline related to crypto making it easy for people of all ages to understand how the crypto world works in an effective manner.

No! It would definitely not be a course in college. Imagine this, if BTC will be a course in college, the lessons that we will only need to take up is about trading, the essentials of bitcoin, gambling, blockchain technology and etc. It is just a cycle of topic and we don't need 4 years to understand all those things. It is much better if it will be just a topic or lesson in our Economics subject. We could learn all those things in that span of time and we can continue gaining new knowledge all by ourselves.

In Singapore there are some courses related to IT that have started to talk about cryptocurrency. I personally also have some university friends who joined the crypto community after they have been in contact with the course. So it's just sooner or later where majority of the universities and even colleges start to blend in crypto as a major subject. Cheers for those who are in early!

Having in mind educational system in my country, I don't think so. Not now, not in the near future. Although it wouldn't be so hard to implement lectures about all cryptocurrencies, not just Bitcoin, and blockchain technology into some subject about finances. But professors should be educated about that in first place and at the moment there is situation that children have more information than their teachers.

It may definitely become a course in the near future, but I'm not sure if you could make a major out of it. And I'm speaking not about bitcoin here, also not about cryptocurrencies actually, but about the blockchain. A lot of institutions are trying to adapt the blockchain mentality, so maybe blockchains can become a major in the future.

I agree that it can be viewed as an upcoming industry, and thus, would entice academes to offer it as a course. But, it can also be just part of a new curriculum under business administration, management or accountancy. I don't know if it would turn out so big that universities would even consider to open a new course or degree just to satisfy the demand of people wanting to learn about it.

It possible because  other campany use bitcoin in entrpreneurship and to innovate their products
Yes, There are pretty good chances for bitcoin to be taught in universities and colleges as a course because it is the latest trend in the economics and those who are doing degrees related to business, finance, economics, accounting etc. should know about this technology in detail. This step will be very beneficial for these people in their practical lives because bitcoin is the future of currencies.
