My husband loves to talk about crypto and how its going to change everything. He makes a lot of good points but one thing he doesn't know is how it could potentially impact us in education? Will it? Does anyone know? Kind of a random question, I know.

I'm very skeptical of crypto, and when people start going on about it I just tune it out. It's pretty much a way to scam a lot of gullible people, and it's best avoided. But I'm old enough to remember when everyone was lauding Sam Bankman Fried and putting him on magazine covers. Now he's going away for 20 years.

That's like saying SS is something to be vary of 🥴
He was a criminal who frauded people. There are a lot of scammers that use all kinds of information to scam people whether that's your identity, your ssn, your bank info, your Dollars or your bitcoin

Dollar is plummeting. Inflation is absolutely terrible.

Bitcoin hit 94k. That means 1 bitcoin is equivalent of $94k DOLLARS.
That's how little the dollar holds value.

The time of dollar is coming to end.

I don’t know to be honest, but it is an interesting question. I thought at this point crypto would be dead and long gone, now though it is booming and you hear about how much money it is making people. Not sure how it would impact education, something to be aware of though I suppose.

Crypto has been a part of me being able to leave teaching. My investments in crypto have been profitable & allowed me to pay off debt that was holding me back & keeping me tethered to the classroom. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re willing to learn & do research, it can be a great thing.

We’re living through a second Gilded Age in this country. I invest in crypto like people invested in stocks before it became a common investment tool. The rules I set for myself are simple: 1) Don’t invest money it would hurt me to lose. So instead of stopping for Starbucks, I put that $15 into my Coinbase account. It builds up over time. 2) Do my research! I invest in projects that make sense that I can see utility in. 3). Understand the cyclical nature of the crypto economy. It’s highly volatile, with huge swings, up & down. So (3a) don’t buy during an upswing period, and (3b) don’t freak out and sell during a downswing.

So to answer your question, crypto could reduce the number of teachers willing to put up with sub par working conditions who will leave the profession early.

I’m 36 and I recently reached a net worth of 1 million dollars. I thought I was doing good but then I see other people with several millions and can’t help but wonder how they got there.
I feel I’m doing everything I’m supposed to (I save, I invest, I max out my 401k, IRA, etc...).
