We all know by now that traditional bank savings systems no longer work. Their interest rates barely keep up with inflation, effectively eating away at our hard-earned money over time. Yet, our education system continues to prepare us to be good employees, not savvy investors.
Schools teach students how to use Linux or basic computer skills, but they fail to provide essential financial education that prepares young people for the realities of the modern economy. Students learn how to operate software and manage data, but rarely learn about money management, investing, or cryptocurrencies.
This gap leaves many unprepared to navigate the complex financial world, making them vulnerable to scams, market manipulation, and the erosion of their savings. Why are we taught to be obedient workers but not empowered financial decision-makers?
If we want a future where people are financially free and able to protect what they earn, education must evolve. Teaching financial literacy, including cryptocurrencies and alternative investments, should be a priority in schools.
Until then, many will continue to fall prey to misinformation and lose out on opportunities to build real wealth.
