It became known that the famous American basketball player playing for the team of the National Basketball Association "Los Angeles Lakers" LeBron Raymon James intends to educate schoolchildren in the field of "new money". So, according to reports, the athlete has developed a cycle of cryptocurrency training courses that he wants to include in the school curriculum so that the younger generation has an idea about the principles of using modern technologies.
It should be emphasized that James was involved in the creation of an additional program in partnership with the Singapore-based digital asset exchange application CryptoCom.
The basketball player noted that blockchain technologies have already begun to radically change our world. In his opinion, in the future, the process of these changes will only accelerate exponentially, because the distributed ledger technology has already penetrated the global economy, professional sports, art, the music industry, the film industry, and even bribed a lot of traditional financial institutions with its merits. That is why the man emphasizes, children should be taught the minimum terminology and principles of using digital assets from the school bench because this will become the key to their confidence in the future.

It is known that the developed program provides for the study of materials on blockchain technology and its impact on various fields of activity. In addition, training courses will include a lot of information and useful facts directly about cryptocurrencies, in particular, about bitcoin.
The innovative program, the media write, will first be tested in the Ohio elementary school, which the basketball player has been financially supporting for a long time. As soon as the educational institution officially announces the emergence of a new academic subject, approximately one and a half thousand schoolchildren will begin to study it. It is noted that not only children but also their families will be able to take courses.
“Families from the provinces and small towns, similar to those where I was directly born and raised, have the right to a versatile education,” said LeBron James.
