Unfortunately, people now sees cryptocurrency as something to invest in instead of a form of payment. An asset, commodity, store of value, instead of a currency to pay for goods and services. Which is why it is vital to educate people about crypto so to make them understand its true purpose. I am not sure how does universities who offer crypto courses teach students about crypto. I just hope that they don't use the term investment because this is not what crypto is all about.

My thoughts exactly. It's quite disappointing to be honest, how crypto got stuck into merely being an investment or asset. It just undermines the reason it was designed in the first place. But I am hopeful that universities will be objective and comprehensive when it comes to teaching about cryptocurrencies. I think schools are one of the best platforms for prepping the world as it shifts to a digital future.

I agree with both of these comments. Sadly, because of the rapid rise in price it has made a lot of people sit up and take notice, but for all the wrong reasons. Seen as a get rich quick scheme, people are blindly throwing money into something they don't understand or know nothing about. It's scary really. I also agree that there needs to some education at school as university is not attended by everyone and you would need to choose a relevant course to learn. In an ever increasing digital world, we need to prepare young people for the future, and like you say school is one of the best platforms.
