Investing and finance in general should be in the syllabus; not necessarily crypto, just like how we don't necessarily need the stock market to be a focus, but just a subset. Proper investing and finance is a lot more than investing in cryptocurrencies alone.
Proper knowledge is real tool to handle any trading market (not just crypto). You are nothing in trading if you don't have necessary knowledge of investment and finance no matter how much tech geek you are. AFAIK, investment and finance is taught to students that opt for finance in Colleges. We may debate on introducing it on lower grades.
