I think the most important is learning blockchain technology, not cryptocurrencies. They are not backed, they have no as great future as blockchain has. Actually, some prominent universities have blockchain programms so that point is covered.
That is the most important thing about cryptocurrency, the system behind the decentralized network is what makes the cryptocurrency famous for transferred data unalterable making tons of ideas to be applied in the real world, best fit in financial terms. This is also why banks are studying the digitalization process by which some assets could be just be a back and the front end is the digital one. There are already universities that offers a program in line with the blockchain but honestly to get to those universities requires a lot of credentials just like MIT.
