Title: is dogecoin suitable for kids?
Post by: ggbtctalk000 on April 19, 2021, 09:06:57 PM
I am thinking to teach my 8 yr old daughter about crypto. But past history riddled with illicit activity so I was thinking to open her a just dogecoin wallet and have her to learn to use it. Do you think it is suitable? Anyone done this? Or any risk?

Thanks.,

It's suitable and why not? You can use a small amount of doge to give education to your daughter. I was also educating my brother with doge coin too.
I see no risk as long as you were using a small amount of doge coin. Elon was also using doge for educational purposes to his baby.  ;D

I can't see the risk on it. But if you're going to teach your daughter about Dogecoin, I think it's better if you will also include bitcoin with your teachings.
That's a good idea if you will teach her those two cryptos that you prefer. I haven't done it but I think you should be fine doing it.

it is very suitable for introduction to small children especially those who later live in a digital age,
early recognition is very good, maybe I will also try to get to know it to my child.

Yes, it is one of the good idea if you can open a dogecoin account for your kid and transfer some dogecoin to her. Since the price of dogecoin is cheap, even if she loses that money, it won't hurt you much. Secondly, she will get to know about crypto and it will help her a lot in the future.

I'm just considering the act of introducing dogecoin to my siblings. It seems like a good startup strategy for them to get used to the cryptocurrency market. The value of dogecoin is fast increasing and it would give them an idea of the possibilities in this industry. I'm certainly going to get to it and hopefully we'll have more cryptocurrency enthusiast in the family.

In my opinion, the problem is not with Dogecoin, but with electronic influences that are not suitable for 8 year olds. We should be able to reduce the use of electronics in low-age children. If you insist on teaching it, then the first thing that happens is the effect on the eyes, then what he thinks about is not learning, but money. So that he will not learn maximally when he grows up, but more likely to learn about money.

Why not use the OG itself, papa bitcoin?
Withj doge, you're just gonna teach her that stupid stuff may sometimes go viral, especially if supported by egocentric billionaires

Post by: kryptqnick on May 01, 2021, 06:54:31 PM
I think that there's nothing wrong with doge that would be unsafe for a kid, and it's more like a general question of how much an 8-year old can understand about money and with how much money a child can be entrusted. Banks don't allow kids to have accounts. In my country there are "junior cards" which have limitations and which parents are informed about, but I think even those start at 14. So maybe giving her a little doge (like, $10 worth of it or less) is okay to teach about responsibility, but this should go with telling about the basics: don't share your password with anyone apart from your parents; don't send money to anyone who is asking for it and/or promising something for it; ask when in doubt.

Post by: 20kevin20 on May 01, 2021, 07:09:39 PM
Let's be real. How easy is access to illicit markets for a children who will probably only own a few bucks in crypto? "Safety" depends on how much the kid's activity is controlled. If you give him the onion version of Google and $10k in crypto, don't expect them to purchase Barbie dolls off the deep web or to find cartoons over there.

As long as you give them the right education, about any crypto is suitable for such lessons. The advantage of some coins like DOGE is that you have to pay little fees for txs, so you can show multiple things to your child.

Teaching about crypto for children aged 8 years, is not wrong. It would be nice that what you teach is the basic basics of crypto. I think it's more in theory. So that he has knowledge, not just about business.

Sure there's nothing wrong with that as long as you teach everything and he completely understands everything like for example knowing the risk of this kind of investment.

But I guess you could start in bitcoin or Ethereum, unlike dogecoin which has a higher risk and most people do not consider it as an investment because it doesn't have utility.

It will be difficult to completely understand this kind of stuff, especially for an 8years old child because they just don't have enough experience and knowledge about how investments or money works but I agree that it's better to teach your children about this kind of stuff while he's still a child.


Title: Re: is dogecoin suitable for kids?
Post by: Stedsm on May 01, 2021, 07:40:18 PM
Why specifically dogecoin? Why not teach her about all types of coins and wallets? It'll make her more interested in crypto and as she's in her growth years, it'll be great for you if you can teach her about crypto from her current age. Make her understand the basics first like what is Blockchain, because without telling her about the network on which everything runs, you can't just start talking about crypto. It's like teaching about trains directly without even talking about tracks and electricity / diesel.

If it is very useful, it will not be wrong to introduce it to our own children or children for the sake of their future independence, because the times are growing and digital technology will always dominate the world in various ways.

Dont see any risk as long you do able to explain to him on what it is all about.Explain the pros and the cons because even we do talk Bitcoin on here there are still some problems that your daughter would able to read on thats why explain to her everything so that he would be aware on what are the things is happening and she would know on how she would deal with it.Its actually good that at very young age you are already
aware with these kind of tech and the benefits that it can give and even myself would really be considering on teaching it into my sons and daughter once i do have one.  ;)
Its just good to see that they can make use and benefit when and do know the importance of decentralization.

It's very good in a start and there is no risk, you can teach her also about Bitcoin and others , after one year you have a 3rd hand. highly appreciated

^ In what way your daughter will use it?
If that Dogecoin you gave to use in gambling, that is very bad and very risky but if you will teach her how to doggy to hold the Dogecoin for the future intention, then I would say, that is fine. But my question is, why you did not also introduce BTC as well, this is also a good investment when she becomes at the right age that can be used in the future. If you bought it within a hundred bucks, in the future it could be a million dollars.
Nevertheless, any crypto is suitable for kids and they should understand, but 8 years old is too much young for them to understand those things, just buy and hold just for them.

for me if you are 8 years old already understand about technology it is okay to teach crypto, especially doge. My advice is to give understanding to your children slowly and then give them according to their portions

For what purpose may I know?

It is not dogecoin only, even when you chooss bitcoin to teach here you may have to the purpose. An example for investment purpose, but I don't think the kid of 8 years old will understand how investment purpose is. Also, if you teach her for transaction tool purpose I don't think she will understand it as well since the fiat transaction is quite enough for here.

I think your main aim is to introduce your child to crypto. Why cant you start with a blockchain game?
There are many games out there that pay you out in crypto for playing those games without investing anything.
Try out this one https://play.alienworlds.io/. You just need a wax wallet to start .
Your child will like it and you will also get a passive income. Alienworlds token TLM is already listed in binance.

Very good idea.

If my kid is grown up and I want to introduce crypto, I'll get that idea of introducing through playing games and will explain about the rewards, the risk and volatility of its nature. And then, I'll say that there are other cryptos like Dogecoin.

Thanks for the idea.

Yes, this is a nice suggestion. They will be enjoying the game and at the same earning some free coins. But just don't let the kids hook into their games. Just set specific time period that they can play the game, otherwise, they may get addicted with it. Also, another way to get free coins is via faucets. Like faucetcrypto or btcpop. However, it will take time for them to collect coins. That is, if they just want to collect free coins and learn how to deal with crypto.

I am thinking to teach my 8 yr old daughter about crypto.
First of all, it is needed to let her know about the basics of cryptocurrency, the risks, and also the profits that can be got. It is important to tell her that in crypto, there is a risk in every decision, not only thinking o the profits that can be got but also about the loss probability.
And of course, letting her know about some types of cryptocurrencies, how to avoid being scams, and also educating about emotion and fund management. there are complex to teach about crypto, but ensure that your girl is really ready. It may be useful t use the more friendly approach to teach her, in order to make her not confused or feel dizzy at all.
And one that is very important is that:
is she really okay if learning about crypto at that age? If it seems that she is not ready yet and not willing, never force her, just tell about the story of yours in crypto.

And about Dogecoin?
Well, I can say nothing, but if I am personally, I will get it into BTC/ETH/BNB.

This method will introduce children to crypto according to their abilities, this 8 year old child who still likes to play will be very useful for educating as well as introducing crypto slowly. but don't get addicted, I prefer to teach children through animated videos about cypto such as dogecoin, btc, etc, this will attract them to know and get to know cypto.

for 8years old child it not correct time to introduce them an investment especially crypto which is contain high risk .let them play with their world and pressure them with anything . when we talk about crypto , it mean we are talking about profit and loss, for a child they didnt understand what actually is it.

You really inspire me, I will also teach my son about crypto, now he is 2 years old.  I think the way you do I can adapt.  In my opinion, Doge is easy enough for beginners and not too complicated, so it is friendly enough for children.  but with regard to wallets, sometimes I also find it quite difficult to adapt.  better use a mobile wallet which is more user friendly.  At least we teach the concepts to:
1) always record or store keywords / phrases / private key wallets,
2) how to send and receive (related to wallet addresses), 3) explain that there are many types of crypto and cannot be transferred to any address, they must be the same  kind,
4) don't forget to teach how to get it too, haha ​​.. is it too early?

You can teach her about crypto once she is already 15 years old. I think at the age, she is already familiar enough with the digital world and ready to know crypto.

I mean if you gift her like 20$ worth of dogecoin instead of giving her 20$ in form of a dollar bill than i don't see any harm in that. This way you can give her a introduction into cryptos by creating a wallet showing her how she can send coins around and so on. So i think it's a pretty cool idea and probably way more interesting for you daughter too in comparison to just hand her a 20$ bill. She will probably look at her wallet a lot of times in the future to see if her 20$ are growing in value or not.  :)

I don't see any wrong with it, dogecoin is suitable to everyone whether kids or adults as long as they have the understanding about this coin.
And as far as I know there are already some of the community did this to share it to their kids. In fact, its an advantage for the kids to have this and doing trade with it as well.

There is nothing wrong starting to teach kids about crypto even if you will introduce dogecoin first. It is better to start early since crgypto is a long term innovation which is expected to be massively adapted in the future. Doge is the cheapest investment you can make and it will be a good start for your kid. Eventually, your kid will learn and will be able to explore crypro little by little.

its actually a good idea while you are there to guide your kids.. Be practical indeed its for their future.. If i have kids also for sure i will do the same because its good to train while they're at the early age wherein until they grow up they already have enough knowledge to manage all the stuff when it comes crypto currency.. Because i dont really want them to experience whatever i have been through when I'm new in this crypto space especially struggles.

Your opinion is very good, DOGE is not too difficult for children. If your child is thinking enough to learn, they should teach them. Because the latter is the era of digital currency
Doge coin is also not too expensive to take risks when trading.
It's important to invest your child's knowledge.

Try it, perhaps it is a good development direction for your child in the future. There is no harm, the risk is very low when you do it. Train your child to get used to the market
Because in the future digital currency will occupy the market. Doge at not very high prices, practice for your child to invest!!!

You've got your point there's no harm if your kid is willing to learn deeper regarding to this market,

Though the value between this two crypto might the changing factor, if you are just throwing 10 doge

for practicing it won't hurt that much, but if you'll going to throw portions of your bitcoin just to waste

that might be affecting your investment.

Dogecoin is a good starter coin because with low fees you can easily move it back and forth and not have to worry about any fees. Its actually the reason why it survived all these years. Due to high fees on many networks, many gambling sites started to offer Doge because the transfers are near free and fairly quick and the network is very secure.

So you can send her $5 worth or so and she can send those $5 to 5 of her friends and the fees will be low. And worst case scenario she loses her private key or it get stolen due to hackers then its a small loss.

I don't think kids should hold large amount of BTC or ETH because there are just way too many scams these days.

Why not start with Bitcoin, so he'll have a general idea of how Cryptocurrency starts and evolves since Bitcoin is the mother of all Cryptocurrency, Dogecoin is also good and it's a good investment too but I don't like the idea of introducing it first before Bitcoin, everything starts with Bitcoin, you find Bitcoin you will find other coins too, it's your entry point.

8 years too young in my opinion, they are still kids, but I am sure they are our successors, you can give your daughter a simple lesson about cryptocurrency, Introduce her with dogecoin I think it is not appropriate because it has a fundamental that is less clear, what about BNB?


Title: Re: is dogecoin suitable for kids?

It's suitable and why not? You can use a small amount of doge to give education to your daughter. I was also educating my brother with doge coin too.
I see no risk as long as you were using a small amount of doge coin. Elon was also using doge for educational purposes to his baby.  ;D



How do I introduce the history of doge to those who are young? I want to know, doge doesn't currently have a core team, also some people call this a joke coin, but I am very moved some people can introduce to their families.

I don't see any risk on teaching your daughter about Dogecoin as long as you have supervision on her account.  It is a good thing for a kid to be aware of the trending staff and booming industry.  It will greatly help her future understanding about trending stuff and cryptocurrency.  Every knowledge impart to our kids will affect their future outlook in life.

It is important also to ask first your 8 year old daughter  if she like to learn about crypto. As a parent we need to hear their opinions or fellings about that matter. But for me your daughter is still too young to expose in crypto, but if you only teach the basics like how to send and recieve crypto, how to keep her private key etc.. i dont see any risk or problem.

If what you meant by letting your daughter learn crypto using doge is by using it as a way to pay goods online or just sending money it's definitely ok, not to mention the fee used also gonna be affordable, but if what you meant is trading, I doubt it's gonna be suitable, the condition of doge trading market resembles gambling like a lot due to the unpredictable movement as well as the market moves purely according to hype.
But, if you want to teach her a more practical thing like what I mentioned above, it's better to use dummy cryptocurrency such as ropstein's testnet eth which you can get for free and works just like the real thing.

8 years must be too early for learning anything about investments/payment processors/even any kind finance things. Let your kid learn something which are suitable for their age group not what adults must do. Because, education and other moral things are more important in childhood and we should not deviate them from learning those things. They must choose what they are preferring and based on that they can adopt cryptocurrency after the age of 18 or 20.

All I mean, just let your kid grow on their own world still you may teach them basics of money management and importance of saving but never open about advanced things to them until they are becoming 18+. After they are becoming adult also, give them choices by teaching basics and from that let them adopt what they prefer.

I am thinking to teach my 8 yr old daughter about crypto. But past history riddled with illicit activity so I was thinking to open her a just dogecoin wallet and have her to learn to use it. Do you think it is suitable? Anyone done this? Or any risk?

Thanks.,

Dogecoin is a game currency but this does not mean that it is a game for kids ... at the base of everything it is about assets with values and subject to speculation, etc., playing with DOGE with the risk of losing wallets, passwords, etc. it might one day make you regret it.
You could set up a wallet of any shitcoin for her to practice sending, receiving, etc.

Why not. But what can an 8 year old do with Doge ?. how do they they spend it. there aren't many places that accept crypto yet. So I think kids are still not suitable for crypto. but it's different from parents, doge can be one of the most powerful reasons to educate them. Just look at Elon with a few tweets about doge. he was very successful in providing education for the general public who did not understand crypto.

I think your main aim is to introduce your child to crypto. Why cant you start with a blockchain game?
There are many games out there that pay you out in crypto for playing those games without investing anything.
Try out this one https://play.alienworlds.io/. You just need a wax wallet to start .
Your child will like it and you will also get a passive income. Alienworlds token TLM is already listed in binance.
Check here to see its current rate - https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/alien-worlds/
Very good idea.

If my kid is grown up and I want to introduce crypto, I'll get that idea of introducing through playing games and will explain about the rewards, the risk and volatility of its nature. And then, I'll say that there are other cryptos like Dogecoin.

Thanks for the idea.

Yes, this is a nice suggestion. They will be enjoying the game and at the same earning some free coins. But just don't let the kids hook into their games. Just set specific time period that they can play the game, otherwise, they may get addicted with it. Also, another way to get free coins is via faucets. Like faucetcrypto or btcpop. However, it will take time for them to collect coins. That is, if they just want to collect free coins and learn how to deal with crypto.
I remember the old days when faucets were still popular. It's like you're playing games through claiming it from time to time. But the amount you get on it is low as always in the present time.

But this idea will really do the trick upon educating the kids. As always, if they're hooked into the game, they'll dedicate time on it but moderate them so that they still manage their time properly.

I do not think Elon Musk's tweets are educational purposes but purely promotional; this way I am not seeing dogecoin could be a reason for making kids to be aware of cryptocurrencies. Because, even Elon Musk may forget all cryptos when he is about to launch new Tesla models or when opening new factory units in China/India or might get busy with hyperloop or starlink projects or may switch over to another dead coin. Who know?

Dogecoin sound like time being fantasy and nothing more to me. If kids adopt dogecoins and if it gets failed in near future then that lead to wrong example to them. Always bitcoin could be the great reason for anyone to get aware of crypto space. Use bitcoins for anything which includes introducing your kids into crypto space.

Yes, it is.

Not Dogecoin only, bitcoin, Ethereum, and more are suitable for kids. It's depending on how easy your kids catch the lessons.

I did begin to teach my kids last year ago, it's not easy, but I stepping into it by using TESTNET.
I won't recommend you with real coin such as doge either, I know that's cheaps, but still, if your kids made a mistake, not only the coin but the private key will be exposed when touching the wrong button. Cause I had experience with it, so Testnet is better, Mainnet is when your kids understand how to managed security and wallet.

IMO.

I think starting to introduce kids to crypto is a positive thing, and I agree Dogecoin is a great choice for kids. Because children love animals,
the Dogecoin symbol has an image of a dog that children will likely like. If I were you I would do the same, get to know Dogecoin first.
Because of introducing something to a child, must be in a way that catches his attention. So the child will be more and more curious to learn it.

You can teach her whatever you want if it's helpful for her future. It is also is really up to the kid and the intellectual level she is at. There are kids where you think they are there years ahead of the time. The issue I see is how her environment would deal with it. Kids tell a lot and her teachers might find out that she is already in touch with cryptocurrencies. What if one teacher sucks and is old and depressed and against crypto, might make fun of her or not assess fairly.
Good luck to you and your daughter and have fun!

There is no correlation between doge and the kids. Doge can be used as transactions or transfer of money by any age, kids or adult. But the community is not kids friendly tho. A lot of adult meme by the community.

For transactions : any cryptocurrencies ( doge, dash, bitcoin, ethereum ) can be used by all ages.

for 8 year olds it sounds like a new idea for me to introduce to children as well, besides learning about the basics of crypto which was given earlier, even though the DOGE meme coins used to be just as a complement, now they pay more attention and there are many enthusiasts seen by the rising prices that occur on the DOGE coin.

I think introducing is not a problem. but remember, don't make these children find their own pocket money from crypto trading.
I have a friend who taught his younger brother to trade crypto and he succeeded in making his own money. but it was clear that he was not that young. need better understanding and reasoning to be able to start investing and trading.

Cryptocurrency has grown so much and gradually the world have started accepting it while looking for more ways to adopt it's services, hence the reason a lot of institutional investors keeps buying and investing as they could because they believe in the future. Thus teaching your kid about crypto is never a bad thing nor is it a wrong thing, in fact it is one of the biggest investment you will do in her life, because when she starts learning at a young age, it will make her more exposed as she grows thus knowing what to do and what not to do. Hence, as a kid, starting with a small amount is a good strategy and of course suitable. Lastly, I don't think there is any risk, since she is young and wouldn't possibly start investing at that age but as she grows you need to know more about crypto and her to know the best way to advise. Also, it doesn't really matter if it's Dogecoin or others, just pick one you want and start with it.

Yes, because crypto learning is a very valuable learning because things in crypto cannot be found in schools or universities, so there is clearly nothing to lose to teach them to our children by choosing a lower risk for each trade.

I would definitely will teach her on how to work with cryptocurrency. And I agree to start with DOGE because of its fun theme. Though as a kid, I would also stress the importance of being emotionally detached to her coins. She might get affected is she lost on a trade. I will not teach her to trade first I will just teach her on how to send and receive and how to check the price of the said coin. Possibly teach her bitcoin and try to understand the prices and market cap and other basics.

Not suitable at all, you will teach them to be dependent (the only fundamental factor is relying on the pumping of influential people).
You won't be able to teach them the causes of more sensible, technically predictable and fundamental causes of crypto price volatility in the short and long term.

No if too young but it will Depends on kids understanding there are kids nowadays who are smart enough to determine what is good for them as well in their investment,tgere are who much active in social media now than adults. If they know how to trade or have someone who can accompany them then itts not a problem as long as he know how crypto works and doge. I knew someone under age 18 who trade really good in terms of stock as well some btc or eth so why not in doge if he know Elon musk he might be able to cope up.

I think it's a great idea to teach your daughter about investing and Dogecoin is the right choice, because the price of Dogecoin can still increase higher than the current price and of course the risk is only when the price goes down or there is a correction, because every investment has a risk (the price can go down), but your daughter will be rich when she grows up, because I am sure when your daughter grows up, then of course the price of Dogecoin has increased very high from the current price.

I do not see any harm in this. But someone who will learn about this market should definitely start with bitcoin. bitcoin is the pioneer of this market. at least if he knows what bitcoin is and try to understand it. Frankly, it didn't seem wise to me to study other things without knowing the source of the market.To know what bitcoin is is to understand this market.

You've got your point there's no harm if your kid is willing to learn deeper regarding to this market,

Though the value between this two crypto might the changing factor, if you are just throwing 10 doge

for practicing it won't hurt that much, but if you'll going to throw portions of your bitcoin just to waste

that might be affecting your investment.

you are absolutely right. Coins very different in value. Knowing the market deeply, of course, is a situation that does not cause any harm. But what I want to say is to start learning from the technology, infrastructure, emergence of bitcoin, how it affects altcoins. that is, learning bitcoin as a technological thing, not as an investment tool. Otherwise, investing with bitcoin may be risky compared to Dogecoin, of course. Dogecoin would be a much more ideal choice for practice. I agree.

Well that is your opinion. I have been teaching some kids about crypto and it is an enjoyanble experience. It's like playing with play money. Why should you teach the complicated parts if you can teach the basics and still get something enjoyable out of it? If you don't want to teach crypto to your child that is fine. But you don't yak and tell others what or what cannot they do with their money. We are all responsible adults and no one should be dictating here what we should do with our DOGE.

It's a good idea to open a doge account for your child, you can transfer some coins for him. Given that the price of Dogecoin is still quite cheap, at least you have introduced your child to crypto from an early age, and this will certainly be useful for him in the future. But don't be negligent in monitoring the process, even if it's your child's personal account, don't let you completely remove him from your observation, and you can direct him so that he can benefit from what he already has.

I made a suggestion before to do not use it as a real dogecoin but using Testnet (dummy coin). however, even doge the Testnet faucet unavailable right now, I suggest OP use bitcoin or another altcoin such as Ethereum. when using Tesnet, you do not worry if your child makes some mistakes.

Just make sure you guide your Daughter properly because she might send it to someones else or give her access to someone else. This is a good idea actually, not just DOGE but giving cryptocurrency to your child for their future needs is a great preparation that parents can ever done to their child.

If any just let your kid play those mobile games that rewards cryptocurrency for playing, that way your kid still have the time for playing while also earning money although the money earned not gonna be huge, just wait until she comes of age and know what finance really is.

I don't think crypto are good for kids because crypto market are cruel, kids won't handle the up and down because they are mentally weak and unstable. Even the magical kids like warren buffet starts invest in 10 years old, and ofcourse he was not investing to something agile like crypto.
So i think it's okay if you just giving your kids dogecoins in case of investment for her future, but teaching her how crypto works is not really a good move at least for her age right now.  ;D

When our kids are under age, then I guess they cannot choose right things to learn about. Only parents must choose according to their age group. Learning about cryptocurrencies in the school days itself must be too early in my opinion which will definitely distract their academic portions. So, instead of doing something different, I guess just following what our parents did for us in our school days, must be a better option for any parent.

There are lots of time left for younger generations to learn about cryptocurrencies and particularly dogecoins hence not rushing to finance in young age will definitely help them grow along studying needed subjects alone.

I think it's still early days. But if he wants to learn, let him know all the risks good and bad altcoin. Just like the thing, I teach beginners, who only just know the good thing and know when people have successfully invested in Dogecoin for the long term. Teach and tell the truth with him that even if the risks faced are also great, he could lose a lot of money if he is not good at reading the market situation. I am sure that if the two things are good bad he already understands, he is ready for all the risks and does not affect his psychology later if it happens beyond what he expected.

In most countries you are not allowed to buy or use crypto unless you are 18 years old. Sooner or latter that will happen in all countries. Cryptocurrencies are money. Kids are not adults to take such decisions. Their parents have to do that since they are responsible for their actions.

That's the big challenge there, the interest of a child is very important knowing that even they are techy enough their mindsets are still lock with

those online games or any other interest that they can do online.

I must agree with you, Bitcoin first before alts, it's better to teach them the very fundamentals and common so it would be more easy adopting

and then go and proceed to more deeper sides of crypto.

That's great decision to educate your daughter about crypto with dogecoin. I think Dogecoin is great because it has low price and it can have great pump. If she gets profit she will take more interest in it. So I think its good.
It isn't great to comparing price with education. are you know how much crypto out there lowest price than doge? over the thousand. will you teach all of them?.

Introduce your daughter to the basics of crypto first before introducing thousands of different altcoins to invest in.
which basic I knew about this is teaching her how to operate the PC. in this situation, I will teach him how to operate Linux operating system which open source and not licenses OS needed. For sure I want to make him be a crypto programmer in the future which happens when can take control of the code.

You just gave me a right idea i would actually like to do when i have kids of my own… starting early is always awesome and adds an advantage over others… and Doge is not really expensive and you can buy and teach her more about it , so even if the price dumbs , it wont hurt you that much but please also try and add bitcoin and ethereum to the mix… not saying you should buy btc for her just also explain how those work too

Teaching Crypto to those closest to you, especially your own children, is a smart move to look at an increasingly modern future. but for an 8 year old child, isn't it too young? because there are many more important things to learn.

I don't think that it is a risky thing to do. Even Elon Musk made a statement like he bought some DOGE for his child.  :D  You can do the same also and teach your daugher about it. It would be nice for her to start now to learn about digital currencies as they are our future.

It seems to me that teaching crypto to an 8 year old is too early,
indeed the goal is good, namely to introduce crypto to children but it would be nice if it teaches children at least 11 years old,
because with that age they also find it easier to understand things that are foreign to them

the risk seems non-existent, but I think your daughter is too small for you to teach it all. You better save some doges for your daughter and when she gets older you teach them all about it. save without having to teach him I think it's the same because his age is still too small.

I am thinking to teach my 8 yr old daughter about crypto. But past history riddled with illicit activity so I was thinking to open her a just dogecoin wallet and have her to learn to use it. Do you think it is suitable? Anyone done this? Or any risk?

Thanks.,

What do you mean by teach them? Teach them about trading? If this is the thing that you want then it’s a Big NO.
Children are not at all suitable to learn trading in such a small age.
If you want to teach them about what is crypto, then yes you can do that easily.
You can easily make them understand by quoting examples from past like barter system and assets. This will be sufficient for a child of 8 years IMO.

Moreover after seeing this huge crash of Doge , i am too fearing whether to hold the coin or not.
Still educating the future generation about Cryptos and the advantages of using it will really be appreciated.
Tell us Op what updates you have. We will be glad to listen it.

No it's not because the only thing that your kids are going to learn from holding doge is every projects in crypto space are shit coins, honestly doge coin solves no problem than been meme coin that it is and that's not a problem needed to be solved

Yes, 8 years old is an age that is still not ideal for the child in terms of understanding cryptocurrency, because there are many other things that are more important for this 8 year old child to understand.

Any coin is suitable for kids. It is easy to understand. Not very complicated although it may take time. But its ok. Try to be patient with your kids and they will soon understand how to use it properly. I do not remember how but right now, I am able to use fiat money without any problem

If you wanted them to learn as early as it's age, better to add more patience and make sure to bring some sample that's really understandable or suit to them.

Crypto is not something that they can just learn in a short period of time, giving them exciting and entertaining examples that may
attract their interest.

Work with your daughter in a fun way but make sure that responbilities are well noticed, it's money / financial venue making them
involve as early as now will give them huge advantage.

I don't think if that is good idea to learn your daughter using dogecoin and how do you teach your daughter about dogecoin.. how to transfer? to gamble? collecting doge?.. In my opinion it is too early for your daughter to learn about cryptos, it's not the right time maybe when she's teenager.
Indeed, the children's developmental foundation does not belong to crypto knowledge, it belongs to knowledge in school and what they learn from life, so the idea of talking about dogecoin is not necessary, it is not really a topic that we can discuss with the kids, unless they are a special talent but this is very rare. Besides, the excitement of our era will be much different from their own, sometimes dogecoin will no longer fit and be replaced by another project, time will change many things very quickly, kids will have a path to exposure to crypto, they don't need our instruction too soon.

I think it's a great way to teach kids about the Cryptocurrency. By using a little DOGE coin I don't think it is not be a problem because the price is also relatively cheap. But it would be great to introduce your child to another coin so that he doesn't focus on the one-coin trip and hopes that it can be educational for your child.
