We should start educating children about cryptocurrencies.
I am currently studying a primary school teaching degree in Spain, and I have the feeling that we are not teaching our students what is going to be the reality of their future. Every day we start to meet more and more in our environment with the word Bitcoin and Ethereum and I am of the opinion that we are taking too long to teach our students some financial education.
I would like to know if in your countries it is common for children to have really useful subjects like financial or home economics. I think that the incorporation of terms such as smart contract or transfer are terms that they should start to handle from a young age so that when they grow up they can use their full potential.
Once I have discovered the problem, I try to consider different solutions.
- I try to find out the problem, and I try to come up with different solutions. But there is a problem, and that is that I don't know if parents would really involve their children in these activities.
- Another solution could be to convince the state that this topic is really useful, but at least the Spanish state, with the problems they have now, is not going to be convinced.
I would like you to share your opinion and generate a small debate around this topic.
Thanks for reading and a big hug.
