It just needs to be promoted more and able to be used in the real world – Needs more real world applications. UI has to improve as well. Just general overall more awareness about the space.
Absolutely agree. The main avenues I see now that introduce people to crypto are tech, politics ( libertarians love alternatives to government/ central bank control), and finance. My friends in finance are no where near sold on crypto, but they know about it. So absolutely yes, more avenues such as education, entertainment, etc would open crypto up to a huge new audience. I think the generation Z'ers will be using crypto more than anyone, soon. – I believe so as well.
Because the average person does not understand how it works – Yeah, we need to bridge that gap.
People do not know enough about cryto and like anything new it will take institutions that people trust give it credibility. – I agree.
Of course yes! This is to get it right, right now, just as classes about money should have been added to grade/high school curriculums decades ago now. Governments wanting regular folk to wise up about the real nature of finance? Never mind that, better look at the shiny ball over there! - Institutions need to start teaching kids about things that really matter (like taxes, credit, etc), or at the very least give them the option to them.
The opportunity to formally learn about the cryptosphere is a great idea for the avid or professional investor. The rest of the space seems to be getting by with quality products like yours and youtube videos. - Yeah, but it isn't enough. We need more mainstream channels!
Education is a key to adoption. – Big key.
University training is so contrary to true supply & demand forces, and laws of nature for that matter, that I have no confidence in these institutions getting principles of value, currency & crypto correct. Call it the paralysis of analysis. Young people are coming out of these institutions highly trained & dumb as dirt with poor attitudes. Crypto is truly a revolutionary innovation (not the Marxist ideals of revolution). It has the potential to shape the future for good or for ill. Viva la innovation. University approaches would merely cultivate heady technocrats. – I feel that it isn’t fair to give a blanket statement that all young people that come out of institutions aren’t critical thinkers. While the education system is one that spoonfeeds and is engineered for your success (if you just put in some basic effort), it has produced brilliant minds as well.
It will be a natural progression as no doubt crypto is here to stay. How it pans out over the next few years sorting the wheat from the chaff so to speak will dictate the direction that education will go in this space – Yes, true. And so we need to do our part right now to steer this ship in the right direction.
Cryptocurrencies are seldom used in day by day transactions. – Well, for now. How many people used computers in the early days as well? It all takes time.
Sure there a world of information available online, but how will crypto play in current economics courses and finance courses, also some older gen people, my mother, only takes financial advice from a guy with a wall full of diplomas, and he just says crypto is up to you. But I think a good first step will be to bring it as formal education{And that is very anti crypto of free and open}, but it the world we living in. Then there the tech side, where people shift into tech only because of crypto and there some nice courses available, but in a few years varsity kids will only be interested in crypto and want to become Blockchain specialist. And I'm not aware of anything like that currently. – All in due time. I’m confident it’ll all pan out nicely.
