I was thinking about how acquiring skills like cryptocurrency trading has helped a lot of individuals out of poverty, so I was wondering if subjects like cryptocurrency trading or Forex trading are introduced into curriculum of students, will that not have a direct impact on the economy of the country by reducing the number of people dependent on the government for a job? Has this not yet been considered or is there a reluctance in the government to make sure that people learn valuable important skillset in school aside the other things they have been learning for years.

I did not know the correct place to make this post, economics or trading, I am okay with the moderator moving it to the right place if this is not it.

I disagree! Trading is super risky and a government will never encourage risky things to its citizens. Rather, the risks associated with trading should be taught in schools so that people understand the risk.

I strongly believe that curriculums related to savings and investment needs to be introduced. That's where young population will learn the value of savings. They will learn the basics of finances which will be immensely helpful. Trading is not something that needs to be encouraged. At least this is my personal opinion.
