Bitcoin can be an important tool for learning about economics and computer science, especially as the broken education system struggles through the COVID-19 pandemic. As Mark Twain once said<\/a>, \u201cI have never let my schooling interfere with my education.\u201d <\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Luckily, the Bitcoin Magazine<\/em> store<\/a> offers all of the books and devices you need for a self-sovereign education, starting with \u201cBitcoin Money: A Tale Of Bitville Discovering Good Money<\/a>\u201d for children as young as four. <\/p>\n

For teenagers, you can set up a Bitcoin node <\/a>with them for a hands-on lesson about computer science. Once you have the basic tools and hardware devices<\/a>, including a full node and a bitcoin wallet, there are plenty of free open-source Bitcoin projects<\/a> that teens can use to learn about coding as well.  <\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

And, of course, no teenager\u2019s Bitcoin curriculum would be complete without \u201cThe Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative To Central Banking<\/a>.\u201d If you\u2019re already considering homeschooling, there\u2019s a wide range of books in our store that you can assign for original book reports and other projects for English class.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, university students can basically give themselves a PhD in Bitcoin just by reading our whole curriculum of top books about bitcoin<\/a>. In terms of economic history textbooks, we recommend starting with \u201cThe Sovereign Individual: Mastering The Transition To The Information Age<\/a>.\u201d As for computer science, we recommend starting with \u201cProgramming Bitcoin: Learn How to Program Bitcoin From Scratch<\/a>.\u201d And, if coffee or tea helps you get in the zone while studying, don\u2019t forget your Laserflip mug<\/a> for good luck. <\/p>\n
