Should school offer bitcoin & blockchain education?

[ambar33n]

The University of California is now offering a class on cryptocurrency. Arizona State University has launched a blockchain research lab in collaboration with the Dash cryptocurrency. Stanford University began offering a Bitcoin class two years ago, and Fordham University started teaching students about cryptocurrency a year before that. Cambridge University is now including blockchain education as a core part of their Masters in Finance degree 
The reality is that an increasing number of universities are starting up Bitcoin education classes, and this push is starting to filter down to high schools. Students, on a percentage basis, are much more well-versed in the cryptocurrency sphere than older generations (such as their teachers), so it makes perfect sense that there’s an increasing demand for such education to be implemented on campuses.
At what age do you think students should start learning about cryptocurrencies?

[biggtune]

dont think its been around long enough to require it. but it'd be cool to have the option

[ambar33n]

And students would get to know much better and who knows they do much better than the rest in future.

Its a good start though.

[xtinepink]

I would be happy if it will be offered here in Philippines. This is something worth it to offer to students,imo.

Jordan kinda sucks though. . . i'd recommend tales from an economic hitman before i recommended peterson, but whatever. lol.
private schools should cater to the lobbies of its financial contributors. Public institutions should be abandoned. .. lol. anyhoo.

I think this is great, and that more and more people are learning about crypto. Personally I dont age discriminate when it comes to sharing knowledge about crypto. I have shared with 5-10 year olds, and 70+ year olds.  I think the more people you share with, regardless of age, the better everyone is.

Yes, at this particular moment with blockchain having a heavy development and looking for mass adoption colleagues and schools could prepare a very specific class to teach to those students interested in being developers.  In the future, Blockchain will become like Excel or Word or any other application so easy to use and so general in its use that classes will only be at users level and not a developer levels which is happening right now.  About Bitcoin, I don`t know.  My opinion.  good luck.

In my opinion, in our time, even schoolchildren should know what bitcoin and blockchain are, the most optimal time to start studying this sphere is 7-8 class. But this is just my personal opinion.

I do not think its useful to educate kids to early with this. but I do think it would be a nice thing that kids from 15-16 years old should have the option to add this course to their regular program if they want to

It should be in secondary school. In my country we have programming in secondary school recently introduced. I think one or two years ago. When I was going to secondary school we didn't even had computer classes. Damn I'm old lol. But when I went to high school we did have computer classes. However I had computer since early age and I didn't need any of the classes since I learnt everything myself.

I think its almost time to start offering it as a optional class to take. I think it will take a lot of adoption of crypto before it is required as a class.

It would be cool to take a class on it but I don't even think those exist at a worldwide level or worldwide enough to take one in my area.

I think students and students do not have enough money to invest in Bitcoin even though Bitcoin and blockchain educational offers are essential
 

[Angelia1994]

Some of my teachers have also talked about Bitcoin in recent years. I think university should teach about Bitcoin. to help students understand Bitcoin and Blockchain

Nowadays, I believe that the school should teach children how to give basic and basic knowledge.

I think it's been easy to teach this knowledge since 12-13 years ago. By the age of 15, children will have a very sensible understanding of the Cryptocurrency and can grow many professionals in the industry.

[FotisNt]

I think yes. It should be an optional education for those who need to work on Trading and stuff. However, I heard that some schools already have classes for these stuff, not sure tho. Blockchain might be the future, it's gonna be an essential education soon.

[Forceowl17]

No. it doesn't make sense at the moment.

Maybe at the future.

[Xarv]

Perhaps in the future once cryptp has entered main stream

I dont think so. Cryptocurrency is very unpredictable

[niki014]

hmmm 
i one of our university like a year ago there was a course for students (12 grade only )
they was teaching about iconomy bitcoin blochain and all kinda shit 
they was doing good in everything but didnt learn anything new about crypto currency and the blockchain 
tbh it was a waste of time something i could learn ( if i didnt know already) on my phone while going to the uni 
but i guess it was cool for most of the peeps there they didnt know shit about bitcoin lol
he asking about 100 people
how many of u know about bitcoin 
how many of you own any crypoto 
and shit like that 
niki was the only one with his hand up
kinda sad 

[DCYuma]

This will be good so that future will learn what Crypto and stuff but for me It's not good to depend in crypto start build bank account goes maybe crypto goes down so hard like it's was up so hard then it will be your downfall with your crypto's.

[Goodguy123329]

I would like to go to school in which they give knowledge about crypto
