The lack of financial education in general is a worrying problem. We teach students about literature, maths, science, ... and we tell them that those are the things they need to know in life. Yet usually, the largest single expense they will have on their lives is a house, and that normally comes with a mortgage. Yet, only a few schools will tell them what should they be expecting, the risks and the consequences of such a contract.

Bitcoin and alts is another case in which people are carefully kept in ignorance by the governments and lobbies.

What can we do to make more people interested in economy and finance and to better educate the youth so that they don´t get ripped-off?
  I also think that our youth are very little trained in financing. Of course this is not the biggest problem of society, but for young people it would not be superfluous to study finance in a more extended version. Children should learn from the very childhood to manage financial parties and be able to distribute them correctly. Yes, sir, I fully agree with your conclusions.
We should train them because they are the future  of everything so it is so important to train them while they are still young so we can inherit this especially to our children.
