Full story
Okay, we get it, that headline is in bold.
But listen to us…
Have you ever wondered why we don’t learn about personal money management in school?
Certainly, that is an important topic – well, in the wise words of The Verve“You are a slave to money and then you die.”
But still, unless you to register If you want to learn about money by choosing ‘economics’ as a subject, there is a good chance that you will graduate without having had a single lesson about it.
(And even economics is very theoretical for anyone who just wants to know how to make and save money).
Well, Bitcoin could help with that.
As of last week, it is even helping in El Salvador (where BTC is considered legal tender).
In collaboration with the non-profit organization My first Bitcointeachers at 150 public schools are learning about what Bitcoin is and how it can help fight things like hyperinflation.
Here’s why we love this:
Bitcoin is a new kind of currency. It is scarce and transactions are immutably tracked on the public blockchain.
With innovations like digital currencies comes the opportunity to rethink the old way of doing things.
The sooner students learn about digital currencies, the more likely they are to understand and use them in the future.
Just as Gen Z (and Gen Alpha) are ‘digital natives’; their school education can also allow them to become ‘digital currency natives’.
Considering the opportunities that lie ahead for anyone who understands how blockchain technology can help the financial system, this could be great.
Dare we say it: the younger generations might not be slaves to money until they die?
