10 sats \ 7 replies \ @Bitman 13 Nov 2023 \ on: 4 differing opinions about Bitcoin bitcoin
Great. I don't recall you ever mentioning that you spoke about Bitcoin with your students in lessons before.
I remember my great Native American math teacher teaching us about credit card interest and reading the interest in ad small print. How times have changed.
Do you talk about fiat inflation (and obviously Bitcoin stuff like cold storage and how it's capped to 21M too)?
Thanks for checking in!
I don’t have that time and space in my curriculum to dive deeper into such things. I do show my students the Cointiply faucet, my Muun wallet etc to show them how I get sats without investing any fiat. (Bitcoin is painted with a tainted brush in my country, n k don’t want their parents to complain that I’m giving their children “wrong” financial advice)

Sounds like you're walking a careful tightrope there.
When I was at high school we somehow sensed when something was touched outside of the curriculum and appreciated our teacher's dedication to us and their work even more.
I think many teachers across the world, not just your locale, need to step lightly sometimes.
Sounds like you're doing the right thing by taking it easy.
Kudos to you for your work.

Thanks for the encouragement!
How are you inducting @Adolf_bitler into the Bitcoin world? Any tips I should take note?

I just use love.
Have you ever heard of The tale of The North Wind and the Sun by Aesop?

You showed me this fable before! Haha

Well, at least I'm consistent.

That’s how we achieve the Bitcoin Standard. Small things, done consistently over a period of time, yield big results!
