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.
"Trading" is too broad a term and not really relevant for the majority of students today.
Someone wanting to become a paramedic or school teacher has no need to learn these things, there are much safer investments they should use. Just look at most forex trading platforms and they'll have, usually advertised in a prominent position due to regulations, an disclaimer that roughly 90% of investors will lose their money in this niche. There are some areas that you can build strategies on ideas that are 3+ months out, where you might gain an advantage against high frequency trading firms that can wipe your leveraged position out in milliseconds but most simply don't have the ability to do this. Finance as a concept should definitely be taught as early in life as possible and then cover progressively harder topics, because advanced math that people might need only becomes useful when given a
in real life context.
