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?
No.. introducing trading in institutions is a bad idea.
75% of traders are on loss only few have been successful in making profit over the years.
Approximately 6.8% of the global population are into forex or crypto trading, imagine introducing 30% into that line what do you think we happen if not abject poverty. Trading has high risk, so it is for young ones or those in higher institutions to be introduced to it while still studying it will have a negative impact in their live and education.
This is one good reason why trading like cryptocurrency and forex trading be introduced in school curriculum because many who participate in this field are newbies and without proper education. Acquiring the skill to trade together with financial literacy will go hand in hand.
@OP stated to introduce cryptocurrency and Forex trade learning to schools not trading itself. When learning how to trade, one doesn't need to spend money because there are applications that do mock trading. Some reputable exchanges often have demo trading options. So there are lots of trading tools to enhance one's skill in trading without spending a dime.
