Funny, I took a course in econometrics in 2009 just as bitcoin was coming onto the scene. It was actually the last college course I took. Definitely no mention of bitcoin then, but I'm sure somewhere in the thousands of courses being taught that btc is being mentioned. It's too big not to be at this point. I hear kids are even using laptops in class nowadays. Lol

From my experience, the academical world in most of the world is nowadays quite slow in reacting to the emergence of new paradigms. Sometimes they can be as much as decades late in acknowledging new realities. I saw that happening in very specific cases in psychology, political science and physics, so I guess this would likely happen also in economics and other fields as well.

Exactly. And schools and universities won't probably be that open in teaching crypto and btc specifically since it's not as widely accepted yet and there are a few shaded areas around it which makes it umsuitable for academics. Perhaps in a few more years when crypto really barge to mainstream usage then we can see it being taught in class
