Having people clamouring unto the government for there safety isn't exactly a bad thing. Besides, you operate in a jurisdiction and this jurisdiction is guided by certain laws and regulations that ensures the orderliness of things.

The bad news is, having so much trust in a system, believing that this is one way to be right always and that the government would do you right always is some way to leave all your reasoning to the government and when they ride on you, you don't even get to notice. That's just how bad it is.

People needs to make use of there brains or have it used for them by someone else or a group even.

Not sure what his dad told him wrong. His dad was right. The government controls the finances of the country. It is the government of that country that can decided which currency is going to be a legal tender and which is not. His dad never discouraged him to use bitcoin. So I don't know why his son would loose interest in Bitcoin. As long as bitcoin is legal to use in their country, it is fine to invest and use it. Most of the country hasn't made bitcoin a legal tender, yet they all still use it as a currency without any issue. If you spent "tow hours" lecturing students about Bitcoin and blockchain, then there isn't anything to worry about since I am sure you already explained to them what a legal tender is and why they can still use bitcoin even if it isn't a legal tender.

Well I don't think people really know what the law implies about bitcoin  in my country, and what the government  of my country was trying to saying is that, transacting with bitcoin  isn't  bad, but anyone doing so, should be doing so at their absolute  risk and have no right to report such cases as related  to bitcoin  and cryptocurrency at large if things go wrong.

I don't blame the lecturer if he thinks so of bitcoin  bit the truth  is that seeing is believing  and the lecturer  might not believe  in the system except if his shown how it works and I believe  one of the reasons that made your own father believed in it was because you were closer to him and he could see the improvements on your life through bitcoin.

I believe  the lecturers son isn't a child anyone, and should be old enough to make decisions for his future and hence this is when he needs you more and you shouldn't get discouraged  because of his father and you should try as much as possible  to help the poor make wise decisions  now that he can rather than  making regrets tomorrow.

If our school system is built to teach citizens to be part of the military, we'd all be warriors invading countries nearby. But we're not.

They don't really need to start teaching Bitcoin at such early age. They could start with money first.
The entire school system is built entirely for people to become a worker/employees of big businesses. But when school teaches how money works and finance works, they may not find employees anymore. They'd get out of that rat race and work for their own and become a trader themselves. This will have some effect in the future though. Its why students should have choices.

It has been years that I stopped watching daily news and yeah never read news papers for many years now and that is the reason why.
like what you said , some of us that people are still living with government stand and what they tell them to believe.

This is a shame to those who has this attitude till now when they can forget about the government because internet is open and we read and find everything that we need to understand.

But of course better not to believe in everything , check and dig deep before following what internet says.

The government system isn't wrong but what actually turns like it was difficult to understand is these people who implement the rules and abuse their power. People are relying on the government as they believe that would help us to grow and improve our living but unfortunately, these powerful people that are in the position ruin it makes us not trust them anymore. Because if we just keep following them, nothing will happen to us but just a puppet to them, and the more the become powerful.

There is no total freedom in this world since we still need to deal with restrictions which in fact can be beneficial if used properly. Traditionally speaking, once the government says that it is harmful, they are only weighing the pros and cons about things, but mostly it is not that they are totally banning everything and they'd become a dictator, coz what actually they are trying to convey is to warn us about the cons, and as you've said they have more ways to control over the usage of cryptocurrency if they wanted to, such as banning it. It's just that most people generally consider it as bad just because someone opposed the idea or just giving us warning about what might happen.
