Increasing Financial Literacy Among University Students in Terms of Teaching Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies
Abstract
Increasing financial literacy among university students is crucial, as in many cases, this debt burden and inappropriate spending impose a serious burden on households. A new approach to this could be cryptocurrency-based education. The research aims to shed light on the need to examine several factors before investing. When investing in cryptocurrency, choosing the right cryptocurrency can be crucial, as a bad investment exposes the invested capital to serious risk, and even then, the constantly changing market conditions have not been considered. For this reason, the research will develop what approach would be appropriate to teach the subject in certain majors, taking into account student interest. These can be: IT, economics, mathematics, or legal approaches. This would allow students to decide on the most optimal investments based on their individual preferences, while also becoming familiar with the given blockchain and its inherent possibilities.
