Saint Laurence’s College has announced their plans to hold a discussion night following spikes in interest regarding Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies among students at the school.

This follows QUT’s Business and accounting professor, Chrisann Lee, citing research that shows teenagers still may need further education on investing in cryptocurrencies despite being considered a tech-savvy generation.

One bitcoin investor, Mr Ned Creese, says the spike in interest may be partly due to young people fearing missing out on opportunities to invest and in turn potentially losing significant gains in the future.
