During my High School days, there were language subjects that were introduced, one being a local language of Nigeria, Yoruba, and the other an international language French. I can speak Yoruba but hated taking it as a subject when I have Chemistry, Physics, and Maths to deal with and as a result of my dislike for Yoruba, I failed it woefully in my final exam.
As for French, I liked it and still do, I ended up dropping it at some point but I would take it as a subject again if I have to.
Looking back at those days compared to the present day as Bitcoin is now part of the school curriculum in El Salvador, you get to wonder are the learners going to like it.
The schools in El Salvador have introduced a subject in schools that will pick up the interest of the students considering Bitcoin is housed on smartphones and laptops which is where the younger generation spends most of their time. So the likelihood of learners disliking Bitcoin as a subject like my reaction to Yoruba as a subject is low.

Above is a video link that shows teachers educating their learners on Bitcoin, the keen interest on the faces of the learners is evident in how they have received Bitcoin as an added curriculum.
Nayib Bukele's governance over El Salvadorians has been questionable in the media but legalizing Bitcoin in El Salvador and now Bitcoin in schools is a bold move that potentially could impact the citizens of El Salvador positively. The country needs time for the decision it has taken over cryptocurrency to be positively felt.
With the focus still on El Salvador here is a 36 minutes video taking us through Bitcoin in the country and how a taxi driver shares Bitcoin with people. Things might look slow and gloomy due to the state of the cryptocurrency market but we are far from stagnancy.
Over in Africa Samara Osae is a Ghanaian teen that recently interviewed Jack Dorsey, and Charlene Fadirepo amongst other prominent figures in the crypto space during the recent Bitcoin conference held in Accra Ghana. With Samara Osae at 10 years old and a public figure, sharing Bitcoin with her peers is inevitable.
Not only is cryptocurrency adoption spreading, but it is also getting into the hands of the younger generations, the leaders of tomorrow. If the government thinks they are dealing with the adult population alone, they need a rethink and we know when things of interest get into the hands of kids, trying to stop them isn't the easiest.
A common observation between El Salvador and Africa is these are nations not doing well economically and as such people are exploring ways to opt-out of a monetary system that doesn't fulfill their true needs.
The future of cryptocurrency looks interesting we've got to pay attention to how it is evolving around us.
We owe it to ourselves to make Hive great
