Exactly it is a unique and a different concept which will attract many childs towards digital world and blockchain technology. why not marketing subject and livelihoods programs for better future fits in bitcoin. It is better for the young people to explore cryptocurrency world and teach children for brighter future.

I agree with you. Bitcoin should be taught in the classroom. This way students will be well informed and they won't be victims of the bad media who spread negative info

It is a pity that at my school we were not told about crypto-currencies. Then I would have entered this sphere much earlier, and my results would now be different. I hope that the modern education system will be amended and will tell all high school students about bitcoin.

Yes. It's high time the school system begin to teach real life skills from the primary level. Bitcoin and blockchain technology should be taught in the school from the primary level to the advanced level. This will go a long way in changing our world.

If you really want to teach cryptocurrency in the classroom then your topic should be about block chain and how the algorithm works because using bitcoins as a terminology on numbers is just like a simple math and there's nothing new in there so focus on another topic not just about computations.

A brilliant idea!!!! So that if time comes and it will surely come, they have the enough knowledge about bitcoin in preparation for them on how they will use it. Bitcoin will surely the Currency for this Century..

I was just thinking about this because I am looking for a topic for my thesis in curriculum studies.

My company is working with universities right now for updating the curriculum of information technology courses. The project seeks to improve the competencies of graduates for cybersecurity jobs. As we know, malware and ransomware are so rampant now. Yet in my country, these are not discussed at length in universities. So the classroom has to catch up with the not-so-distant-future direction of the industry.

Following that rationale, I would say blockchain in the classroom and not just bitcoin in the classroom. I know many successful people in the tech industry did not finish college or detest schooling. But I believe we can speed up development and adoption by starting in schools while at the same time changing how concepts are taught.

I would suggest an elective on blockchain and related technologies first, with bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a part of that curriculum. As for including bitcoin in economics classes, there is an upside and a downside to that. The upside is of course changing the misconceptions "lay people" have about bitcoin. A great topic as well is decentralization vs. centralized banks and how this shakes up the current world order. Then again, as has been said, we don't want to teach trading in classrooms all over the world. I agree with inclusiveness, but making gains should not be the focus in teaching bitcoin.

Have I found my thesis topic? 

For me it is a good idea but it should be for college students or at least high school because they already have the logical and critical thinking about money, spending and all. We can also incorporate it with different subjects like Mathematics, Information Technology, Economics and Business.

I say yes, teaching about bitcoin to students is a good idea but it should be taught according to the age, so if it is kids it should be given in the form of games and puzzles, then for juniors the technology and its merits can be added in the subjects and for seniors both technically and financially it can be taught, so when coming to college it will be ease for them and it can be incorporated in detail  in all fields like mathematics, computer science which includes cryptography, financial sectors which include crypto currencies and in business management.

Special courses and master classes devoted to the themes of blockage in general and crypto-currencies in particular have already been offered to students of a number of state universities. And from schoolchildren, I believe, you can enter a special section on the crypto currency and blockchain in the subject of computer science.
