Indeed, elementary is still not the right place to apply knowledge of bitcoin and crypto, only young college students have enough knowledge to understand crypto and bitcoin issues but maybe the instructors need to systematize the knowledge they have when in my country, the instructors are just understanding too little about bitcoin. My brother even said his teacher requested to download mining apps on his phone then recommended it to many others for a commission, this mistake can actually cause data loss and reveal a lot of personal information, which is quite dangerous
Well not every college students because not everyone is into technologies or even learning the basics of it. Bitcoin uses blockchain and understanding blockchain itself is like learning how to program but you're completely at loss. I would say consider teaching it to tech-related courses like IT or CS .
Teaching on how to hold digital money to children is a bit of double-edged sword, but it favors more for them into learning the reality like being a tax payer in the future, but hey they'll learn not to depend on banks.
