Abstract
The development of technologies has impacted various sectors of human life. Of course, education is no exception. Since 2009 to date, the concept of cryptocurrency has been all the rage worldwide, specifically bitcoin, which uses blockchain technology, an open source code to operate without a central authority or bank. The purpose of this research was to determine the lag that exists in the curricula in the areas of financial, administrative, accounting and tax education at the higher education level with respect to this topic. Under a deductive method, a sample of students from the School of Public Accounting of the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla were surveyed in order to obtain data to determine the interest and needs of bitcoin users. As part of the conclusions, the restructuring of study programs is urged, taking into account the incorporation of concepts related to cryptocurrencies, in order to comply with the training of professionals prepared for the demands of today's market.
