Should Schools Teach Crypto Trading? A Wake-Up Call for Our Education System
Hi Binance family,
Can I be honest with you all for a moment?
I come from a place where textbooks still teach us how to write a letter to a friend, but never how to read the patterns of a candlestick chart. Where we solve outdated accounting problems, but no one ever talks about decentralized finance or how to secure a digital wallet. And it breaks me.
We’re living in a world where one tweet can move markets, where 420 million people globally are already using crypto (source: TripleA, 2023), yet most schools don’t even whisper the word “blockchain.” Why?
From my own journey—I had to teach myself. I made mistakes. I got scammed. I learned the hard way because no teacher, no textbook, ever told me how this new financial world works. I watched friends get into debt because they thought crypto was “quick money.” It’s not. It’s a science. It’s a strategy. It’s our future.
So, should schools teach crypto trading? I say—how can they not?
It’s about survival: We’re sending kids into a digital battlefield unarmed.
It builds critical thinking: Reading charts, managing risks, researching tokens—these are real-world, life-saving skills.
It opens doors: Jobs in blockchain are growing at 118% annually (source: LinkedIn Economic Graph).
It protects us: From scams, from hype, from ignorance.
This isn’t just about making money—it’s about making smart, informed, and fearless young people. The kind who don’t just follow trends, but understand them.
Let’s be the generation that demands education that reflects our reality—not just for us, but for the millions after us.
