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?

Education starts from family. We cannot wait for the government to include that in the subjects in school. It is the duty of the parents to inculcate in the heart and mind of a child on how to become a goos person which includes the proper budgeting and handling of money.

I agree. And if in the early stages of life this is missed, self-education will help. On the Internet there is a lot of information on financial literacy

Yes it is not very hard to get the education as there are a lot of sites which gives you good ideas about increasing your knowledge about financiers it is the only you who can force you to learn and who can teach you with experience, we can increase our knowledge and we can get educated by sharing our knowledge and our information about the finances, so better to take about everything and increase our knowledge about bitcoin and get as much as education we can get as it is free does not change anything but its really useful .
