Do you think that exposure to bitcoin at an young age is a good thing in general ? I feel it should be taught based on individual personality and not to very young guy. This is because all young guys might not be responsible enough to invest and track with patience at young age. However, those who have the required patience can make very high returns on their investment by investing at an young age. So, which side are you in this aspect ? Do you feel that all young guys should be informed and educated about bitcoin ? 

Firstly of all let’s treat bitcoin as a currency first, as currency then it is fair to expose children to it because with this they will learn just another means of making payments not using fiat. To me it is a new technology and should be taught nothing more about it.

Now to the other side of bitcoin which is investing or even trading I think this should definitely be secular, it is not proper exposing children to risky investments, if you feel there investment should be in bitcoin you has the guiding can actually purchase and hold it for them till it gets to time where they can make decisions for themselves.

As for trading we should never expose children to it, they can learn it’s analysis like the TA but they shouldn’t trade most especially futures, it only exposes them to gambling

The first question is how much your kids get paid per year? if you said he's unemployed and he only get pocket money from his dad, believe me, as much as he can invest every week, his dad will earn more.

I doubt kids can earn "very high return" when they didn't have any jobs yet, while their dad already have jobs and able to earn "very high return" as long as they're financially good.

Exposing Bitcoin to kids isn't about high return, but it's to teach them to not get scammed by investing in Bitcoin and know how to protect their wealth.

Bitcoin has many utilities and a mean of value exchange, or you can call as a currency, is one of its utility. It's can not be denied but the world is still far to a time when you can use bitcoin as mean of exchange for everything in your life. There are things you will have to purchase, pay with fiat currency in either cash or bank transfer. So there will be time you need to exchange your bitcoin to fiat currency and do those payments.

There are some books, videos, games to teach children about bitcoin.

In my estimation, they kids had better learn about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies from parents and guardians at an early age. The advantage of doing so is that, they will get well informed about it. If they learn if from somewhere else first, they risk getting misinformed about it.
Some misinformation like:

• Bitcoin Is a Scam
• Bitcoin Is an Environmental Disaster
• Bitcoin Is a Bubble
• Bitcoin Is Used Mainly for Illegal Activities
• Bitcoin Has No Intrinsic Value

Kids aged 8 and above should be taught about bitcoin. In their curriculum, it should include things like the history, crypto exchanges, wallets, security, regulation. Until they start making money for themselves and understand how risky the market is, they shouldn't be involved in doing investing in it unless their parents or guardian chooses to.

This is subjective because we have different preferences on life choice. I preferred not being exposed on Bitcoin at young age because I don’t want to focus my goal on pure investment while I still want to enjoy my youth I will leave the investment part on my mid age which is the time when I have work to get regular salary to sustain investment.

I believe exposure to Bitcoin during it early years is definitely have an advantage rather than you being on young age to discover Bitcoin because the current Bitcoin price will not give you enough room for profit if you don’t a good source of money for investment.

Even if I have a kid, I will just let them be a kid and give them the freedom to learn Bitcoin when they become curious about it not by forcing them to learn.

It all depends on how old the young guy is, if he is up to 13 years and above then why not. He can be taught about bitcoin but just only the basics and that is all. Also it is not compulsory that you must have mobet to invest in bitcoin before you can learn or have the basics knowledge of bitcoin.

Some adults are in this forum that have learnt more about bitcoin here, but don't have any bitcoin investment due to lack of discretionary income. A young guy that have the basic knowledge of bitcoin can buy the idea and will be happy he knows about bitcoin so that when he starts working, he can start investing in bitcoin. The thing there is that you should not force anyone to learn bitcoin either old or young.

Kids can get the awareness of bitcoin  through cartoons, but it does not mean that they will invest. Did you started making money before you were taught business study in school. Every knowledge gained now can be used in future to achieve a better living.

Yes, I believe all young guys should be informed about Bitcoin and crypto market even in their young age. That's the age where they will take decisions which may determine their future. If they take good decisions then they will have good times in their future but if they take wrong decisions then they may face tough times in future.

Learning and knowing about Bitcoin is a good thing and it's even more better if those young ones get information about it and invest in it. If they invest in Bitcoin properly in their young age and hold that investment for long term then they might end up with a good future which should be free from financial tensions.

Which curriculum are you making reference to? Is it the school's curriculum?
 As a parent and guardian you do not need to wait for the school to include these subjects and topics in their curriculum before you start educating your child on it. Personally some teachers will not even have proper information about Bitcoin and investment in it, but by being a member of the forum and having long knowledge about bitcoins, you are in a better position to educate your children slowly and not forcefully.

Do not stop your child from being a kid and playing when you're supposed to just because you want to teach them about Bitcoin and investment. Teach them about Bitcoin and investment in a very comfortable manner and take your time so they have a good understanding.

I encourage the teaching of Bitcoin in high schools and colleges because it is current innovation that should be in science, technology and business syllabus. But let me assume that the young people you mean are those who have their own source of revenue. Such people should be introduced to Bitcoin and see if they can have interest.But they should not be coerced to invest in the sector to avoid regrets and blame games. Those who have interest could end up becoming bitcoiners and benefitting the sector. If they can invest at a young age, many of them might make a big profit when they have become adults. Some of them might even end up contributing positively to the industry.

But they shouldn't be introduced to the sector as a place to make a profit alone this is because it also has risks. Some of the important lessons they should learn are how to keep their funds safe and the risks associated with the industry.

If I may ask, what's your definition of young age? Do you mean children between the age bracket of 5yrs to 14yrs? Or do you mean teens between the age bracket of 15yrs to 18yrs? Because if you mean teens between the age bracket of 15yrs to 18yrs, then i see nothing wrong if they are been thought about this trending technology called Bitcoin, because the earlier our teens are been expose to this new tech, the more they get interested in it when they grow up. Hence, Bitcoin as a digital currency shouldn't be limited to only people of certain grade or age level, because the earlier we introduce them to this new tech, the more we tend to prevent them from falling victim to Bitcoin related scams, simply because they have already known how the system works.

Bitcoin is a currency. All you have to do is teach them about saving and bitcoin. By the time a young kid becomes an adult Bitcoin will no longer be some high growth investment, it'll just be the best way to save money. If you have excess money save it in Bitcoin. Simply as that. Someone who is a little kid now is gonna see Bitcoin very differently as an adult than we see it today. We're only obsessed with it as a high growth high volatility investment today because we are here in the early days when it is going through those growing pains that lead to immense growth and extreme volatility. When a yound kid today is old enough to be saving money - so say like the 2040s - nobody is going to be FOMOing into Bitcoin or panic selling anymore. People will just be saving money with bitcoin instead of fiat or including it as a piece of a financial portfolio. So it's not a quesion of "will they be responsible enough?". My parents taught me to save excess money in the bank as a kid, the future of money is just gonna be parents teaching their kids to save in bitcoin. Bitcoin is inherently low-risk, a generation from now when a young kid of today is grown up nobody is going to view bitcoin as risky because the market will have greatly matured to treat bitcoin for what it is.

Yes. If it's going to be taught in a school, there should be curriculum. Even if a parent or guardian is going to teach the kid, they should have some kind of guide to follow. It will ensure that they are able to slowly build the kid's interest and not confuse them.

I agree with you. Kids should be kids and if I were a parent the moment I notice that my kid doesn't seem interested in the subject of bitcoin, I'll change it. They shouldn't be forced learn about something they aren't interested or yet interested in. If they are rather interested in sports, then, we'll do sports.
 

Better to let kids have fun and maybe learn how to save money and do proper finance in their teenage years. In my opinion, you shouldn't really be forcing your interests down kids' throats especially knowing that there are far more important things to learn than bitcoin.

I believe cryptocurrency is here to stay, given the substantial funds in the space, the growing number of investors (including wealthy and influential ones), and its established presence over time. Therefore, it is beneficial to introduce the younger generation to the market early. This will not only help secure their portfolios but also foster an investment mindset from a young age.

If you are not forcing it on them and if they are not yet buying BTC with the money they have, then it is fine for young people to learn about BTC, but it has to be of their own genuine interest. It is good for young people to understand what they can about finance and it is great if BTC is a part of that learning process.

How young? High school young? College young? If you are talking about students, they usually don’t have any meaningful savings to spend on crypto. It is more important to educate these young people about bitcoin first imo. It is because no matter what investment they do in their young age only a handful of them will stick with their original investment plan. People change their views on anything anytime so I am having a hard time to think a college student will be DCA’ing to btc for the next 10 years. Most people don’t have that kind of patience. Getting an education is aay more important than having any exposure on crypto for that reason.

I believe responsibility has nothing to do with age, bitcoin investment is something that involves some level of risk and its an extreme volatile asset which can change price from the to time and if a teenager can handle himself in such situations then it's nice and there is nothing to worry about.

Investment in general would be a great thign to expose to a child, it would teach him how to handle his finance properly and also cashflow management which im sure is a good lesson to teach to a child or teenager.

I think that bitcoin is already a quite specific topic within the financial world so, in my opinion, if you need to explain bitcoin to someone, especially if it's a kid, you need first to explain a little bit of how economy works, then you can go deeper into bitcoin. Otherwise is like explaining someone how to write before it can even talk, let's simply go in order.

Exactly. Bitcoin is not actually a necessity that it should be taught at an early age. Let the kids enjoy their childhood first, just pure play and have fun. Eventually, when they reach their mature age, if they really want to know about bitcoin and get educated, they can always pursue with it with all the free resources in the internet.

I once created a thread about teaching my 11-year-old nephew about Bitcoin. From that topic, I learned that children should not be suffocated with ideas they are not yet ready for or cannot handle. Trying to force children to learn about Bitcoin may not seem bad because you want children to know about it at an early age and invest in it so that their investment can amount to a huge profit before they are adults. That's a good idea, but you can still give this idea to parents so that they will know about it and invest on behalf of their kids. 

Parents can always take half the savings or money gifts of their children and invest one part in Bitcoin, but only if they are aware of Bitcoin. 

If a kid learns about Bitcoin while they are too young, they may not be able to invest or might not have even had mature knowledge about financial responsibilities. The kid only wants to have fun, play video games, watch his favorite cartoon, sleep, go to school, play, buy biscuits and sweets, and nothing more. The kid may not know it's necessary to invest, and when you deprive them of their enjoyable moment, they begin to feel bored and stressed by you. 

In the modern world, parents should know about Bitcoin so they can invest in their kids future, and when those children have fully grown up to learn about Bitcoin, the parents can educate them about it at the right age. 

I actually don't really like to say this as an “exposure” because in the end vocabulary like this looks ambiguous and as if bitcoin is a virus that does infect people.

Back to the main problem where is it really good enough if indeed the introduction of bitcoin starts even since childhood? I don't think it's a problem as long as we introduce this reasonably, please note that if we want to introduce bitcoin to children or other people whose age is below us even still in childhood it is not as easy as we imagine because there can be differences in meaning and differences in meaning that small children can capture when we introduce bitcoin so in this case it needs a really extra effort until bitcoin can be accepted and understood properly.

In addition, this is also not a coercion like we do doctrine because in the end this is just an introduction as to whether or not children like bitcoin then it's their business the most important thing is that we tell them that bitcoin exists and can be a good option in the midst of the current fiat and implied onslaught.

Exposure to finance-related stuff in general is a good thing imo. Not that young ofc, probably around mid-late teens. It doesn't have to be Bitcoin specifically, just letting the kid know the importance of money, what tax is, what investments are, and stuff like that is already a good start. And then maybe at their early 20s you could then start talking and teaching about more complicated stuff and maybe letting them do it themselves e.g. investments, filing taxes (just filling up forms to know what it means) and stuff like that.

Early exposure to bitcoin is a great privilege every chat should have but it depends on what aspect of bitcoin the child is being exposed to. I strongly recommend the technical aspect of bitcoin for children 12 years downward, this will help them understand the technology behind bitcoin. Then from 14 years upwards, the money aspect of bitcoin is ideal to be explained to children because at this age, they will not be distracted in their foundational education by the money involved.

 In addition, at 14, children would have already been framing the idea of the lifestyle they want and knowing that bitcoin can help them achieve that lifestyle faster, they will be able to start keeping bitcoin already. Just imagine starting a bitcoin portfolio at 14 and building same till one get up to 25, that is a decade of building. Even if it is weekly DCA of $20, which average high school student can afford, that will over $10k worth of bitcoin and why this is done over two market circles, it could get as much as $30k because the price of bitcoin would have tripled within the same period of time.

I can agree with you here. Start with general topics like the investment-related stuffs, don't introduce bitcoin/crypto right away. And if the young person shows interest, that's when you go much further with discussion. If they are not interested, don't force them to divulge in this route. It is always best if the person is willing to learn on his own and have the passion to continue. Because if the young individual has some sort of interest, he will do his own research and have the diligence to study the subject matter. It is not difficult to convince him if he has the knowledge of what he is getting into so to speak.

If we're talking about ages 10 to 13, then no, leave the kid alone.  Understanding Bitcoin requires a solid foundation in economics, which a 13-year-old lacks; they might not even grasp concepts like supply and demand.  If we're referring to your 18- to 20-year-old son or daughter, then by all means, yes.  It's an opportune moment to educate them, especially as they've completed school and are beginning to understand the complexities of the world. 

I'm curious, why do you think exposing someone to Bitcoin would equal to them trying to invest in it? bitcoin is not just about investing and making a profit out of it, they can use it as a payment method to buy things, it is a cryptoCURRENCY after all. also, they can be exposed to it without actually investing or doing anything related to Bitcoin.

it wouldn't hurt to educate them about it but only do it in a timely manner and not force it on them, they are individuals who have their own interests, if they want to learn about Bitcoin then do your very best to teach them about it.

Right, it’s still a good thing to let these kids become aware at their earlier age about finance related. Like how to save money so they can learn how to value their expenses whether they’re necessary or not really, and when they’re mature enough ready to understand about more complicated things, that’s the right time that they can start exposing theirselves into bitcoin or other ways of investments.

For now, since bitcoin is still not considered as a global currency, kids might not be interested learning on it but if in the future bitcoin will be considered as one, I think it’s the right of every child to learn about bitcoin and its value even at a young age.

"and not to very young guy" lol.  Why not "young girl"?  Do you come from a nation that is so backwards that it believes women shouldn't be involved in such "important things as finance? I sure hope not. 

There's nothing wrong with teaching your children (men or WOMEN) about money.  Whether that be a nations fiat currency, or a new breakthrough technological currency called bitcoin. 

I would say that, I hope that when I was at my young age, someone should influence me in crypto currency and bitcoin early, because when I'm at my young age I dont have any interest in this kind of thing because I want is play games and such, and same goes if I have a chance I will introduce and influence young age to learn about crypto currency so that they will be independent in terms of financial at early age and it will be a good gift because as they will explore they will discover a lot of things that could make them profit, honed their skills, gather knowledge and sharpen their experience in that way they will be mored advanced at young age and they can implement those knowledge and skills to the other things, knowledge about crypto currency is a gift that should be passed down to young age so that they can be more matured and money oriented.

I don’t have issues when introducing bitcoin at a young age, it will be an advantage instead most especially if the child is curious about bitcoin. However, it doesn’t mean that once you exposed a person into bitcoin, he will definitely invest on it quickly.

Investment learning and preparation takes time, so he needs to be educated at first and weigh things carefully if he’s really responsible enough to manage the risk of bitcoin or not. Also, one who has no stable source of income should never encourage to enter investments most particularly with bitcoin, but he can always chose to learn about bitcoin at a young age and be aware of its pros and cons when one decides to invest.

Knowing and learning about Bitcoin is not going to harm anyone. Yes, I believe everyone should know about Bitcoin at a young age so they have the basic idea and concept of Bitcoin. A person does not have to invest in Bitcoin as soon as they hear or learn about it. If I talk about myself, I heard about Bitcoin a long ago. But I did not invest a single dollar in it. There was a time when I used Bitcoin just as a payment method and I did not have any plan to hold it.

I had a few thousand dollars in the last bull run as well which became a few hundred dollars because of my mistakes. But, I have saved my earnings in the last year which is kind of double at this moment. I hold it because I have known Bitcoin for a while and I have faith in it. A person who just learned about Bitcoin won't have the same confidence as me. So, people can learn about Bitcoin at a young age which will help them in the future.

Of course it would be an advantage. Crypto industry is becoming more recognized by countries, and profitable opportunities are increasing as well which opens new career possibilities for people. And with Bitcoin being an investment, that says it already. If a child would be exposed with investments in general, he/she will develop better decision making and would as well put more value to things. Learning how to make money at a young age especially with investments, will be a habit as they grow.

However, nothing's should be done by force. Given that we are talking about people at young age, not all of them could adopt such mindset simply because their attention and comprehension are still limited to those which are interesting in their point of view. Allow them to be curious for themselves. If you're a parent having plans of exposing your kids early, do it slowly in a way that they will still be able to enjoy other stuff while they're young.

Well that’s the purpose of teaching them right?

Not everyone who invest into bitcoin immediately perfects it and gains lots of profit. A lot of us had to study on our own and see where we went wrong and what else we can improve. So of course that is how it should also be taught to children. As children, they won’t have the ability to invest yet so I don’t see any problem with teaching them if you are scared that they are not yet responsible enough.

Don’t expect children to be patient and responsible already that is why we want to teach them in the first place.

If they care, they will continue to look for info, otherwise any information about BTC will only be considered a normal info and not interesting.

Exposure to bitcoin at young age is of course a must. I believe that young people today are very different from today's era. those who are young will now learn more things and new things especially when it comes to digital investments, especially BTC. I have a nephew who is going through high school and wants to learn a lot about how to make money investing BTC.

Well, from some of the questions he asked is quite interesting and see from understanding of crypto is quite good to, it's just that he hasn't started investing yet.

If we don't get it at a young age, we should not pass up this opportunity to the young people around us, especially our families.
I am also one of those people who regrets because I didn't care about investing when I was young and I even didn't believe in Bitcoin, but in the end there were a lot of regrets that ended up being a valuable lesson for me.
And because of what I have experienced in the past, I try to educate many young people around me not to feel what I have felt, that is a good thing I think even though it is difficult to convince young people.

If we want a world that treats cryptocurrency as a mainstream currency then we should just let children be exposed to it. Schools teach kids about fiat with no fear that they might misuse it simply because fiat is just a basic part of life that it feels natural to teach kids about it.

Later on when they are older they can then learn more and decide whether they want to invest in crypto or not. Or maybe they have other plans of uses for it.

making early investment is one of the best decision any young person should make plans for and if you're able to start investing at an early age, you've made great plans for your early retirement.

If you're fortunate to have had the knowledge on Bitcoin while you're still young and you have the financial resource that will enable you invest into it, what stops you from doing so? One of the mistake most young people do make most of the time if to assume that they always have enough time to prepare for thier future. There is absolutely nothing wrong with investing into bitcoin even though you're just 16 years of age. It could be as simple as starting with a smaller amount and then increasing it along the way. The use of the DCA methord has provided a medium through which regardless of your financial capacity, you can start investing little by Little. And before you even know, you've invested up to an incredible amount you've never imagined to have gotten to within a short range of time.

I think it is very important to provide understanding about finance to the younger generation. In fact, if you can do it from an early age, it will help them organize a better life in the future.
Moreover, it teaches cryptocurrency which is financial freedom which was created for a better financial future.
We can also see that teaching in schools today still uses very conventional fiat, whose motto is only "save for the rich" but they don't teach how inflation can erode their money stored in the bank.

we must keep teaching the younger generation or the GEN-Z  about bitcoin and of course other legit cryptocurrencies because this is what their future currency stand , bitcoin and some altcoins will be the currency and the tools they will inherit from us to use in the future, our generation might having  a second thoughts about crypto but their generation ? will  be the way for mass adoption.

While i was growing up,there's this children helpline forum/organization whose motto is "Catch them young."First of all,I wouldn't introduce bitcoin to the kids as a currency,I'll introduce it as a form of financial practice or learning that'll improve and build thier knowledge about finances.

Majorly,schools don't teach us about money and finances,and if you rely on whatever schools has teaches you not to make mistakes,then you won't be successful.
Its more like the same learning process,teach them the basics while they're still small and encourage them to practices them as they grow older.Teach them the roadblocks that are associated with bitcoin such as savings,investing,real estates,debts,loans e.t.c Its just makes them prepared,organized and available.Financial freedom in this century is a necessity,so ensure to inculcate the right values that are important for building long lasting wealths.

You need to decide what you, OP, call a young age. As a parent, I will say that I would not burden children under the age of fourteen with knowledge about Bitcoin. However, even at an earlier age, I explain to them that money does not need to be spent swiftly once they receive it as "pocket money." There are many temptations to buy something, but not everything requires an urgent purchase. For teenage children, I would suggest slowly practicing learning about Bitcoin, its wallets, saving the seed phrase, and maybe some transactions committed within the family.

But until a young man can earn his own money, I don’t see the need to oblige him to invest at the expense of his parent’s money.

However, after some time (since this question had already been asked before), I changed my mind and decided that children do not need to be taught financial literacy. Some steps to become familiar with both fiat and crypto can be taken using gaming methods.

When I was young, my Dad did not let me to touch money too early. He bought things for me and nearly never give me money to buy stuffs by myself. He told me that it's hard to control what kid does with money. I think you have similar thinking like this, and I agree with my Dad too.

With the youth, they only need to focus on learning to gain knowledge and to join outdoors activities, etc. to learn and practice soft skills. Expose with money too early can direct them to uncontrollable ways.

They have a long life to learn, work and invest so we as parents, don't need to boost them into this headached journey too early.

When it comes to Bitcoin investment early time is the best because is not encouraging if someone has grown too old before he or she could start investing on Bitcoin when we no that to be profitable on Bitcoin, holding is very important so if perhaps the investor is someone who have gotten to 60 years plus on there age holding for long term may not actually be his investment pattern unless his intentions is to invest for the future of his children or grandchildren, so that's why when we talk about exposure of Bitcoin on the young age or the old age we should always consider this factors, so for me in as much as most young people may not actually be too discipline on there Bitcoin investment doesn't mean that is not a good time for them to be exposed into Bitcoin.

So actually the truth is that as long as the person has an interest to venture into Bitcoin investment age shouldn't be a determining factor, though I no your angle of direction because you feel that the young ones could be very aggressive in terms of there investment or possibly looking for an easy way of making money were as putting there investment into risk, however one thing you must know is that not all the young ones can be that aggressive on there investment and I think is actually based on the individual because there are so many young people that are doing very well on there Bitcoin investment, so actually being exposed to Bitcoin during the young age is the best time.

First of all I think you missed something when you only considered young guys as if it is only the guys that should invest in Bitcoin.
Bitcoin investment is for every body who is willing and able to invest in it, the investment is a personal thing and it takes a person with personal determination and interest to invest otherwise I don't think it's necessary to force it on anyone be it male or female.

Personally, if all the guys around me are interested in learning more about Bitcoin, I will gladly educate them but even when they understand what the investment is all about, I will allow them to decide if they want to invest or not, do not force anyone to invest in Bitcoin when they are not physically, financially and mentally ready to invest other wise you will be seen as a bad person who made them to waste money into something they know nothing about.

Seeking for knowledge at young age is better in all aspect so that they can understand the basic aspect of everything before old age; and fresh brain is good and always accumulate more than a used brain that is choked up with unnecessary things.

When you learn about Bitcoin early, you will get to understand the basics and the technical aspect of Bitcoin, you will know what exactly Bitcoin is all about.

At young age, if you invest in Bitcoin, you will automatically hold for long period of time which means you will have the advantage of gaining much profit in the investment because you when you are young, you don’t have responsibilities than when you are getting old.

Long as they don't become insufferable crypto bros in the future lol.

Kiddings aside, I think exposing children in the concept of money and economy first and foremost is a good step towards teaching your kids on how crypto works, they have to know why cryptocurrencies work first, or how important and valuable earning one is, and they won't be able to do this without learning how economy works in the first place. They need to learn a couple things about economy and money, how it's made (created not manufactured), how to make more of it, how to make your money work for you, among other things.

When they're able to learn all about these shit, you can segue into teaching them about crypto, how it's mined, created, how to trade, and then divert into bitcoin and why it's the first and best (arguably) crypto on the market right now, and of course don't end the lesson without giving them a few bitcoins at the end. Start them young per se.

Too young child?
Maybe the limits on the child still don't understand anything, but when the child grows older and understands how to distinguish anything,
I will start introducing the child to Bitcoin and crypto.

In general, it is not a negative thing, it is just an introduction and not for making investments.
Tell them what the bitcoin logo is and how they call it so that the kids will remember that they were taught about bitcoin.

Unlike teaching adults, the methods for teaching children will certainly be different.
This is not a heavy lesson that will force them to think, they just simply know where the Bitcoin logo is and how to pronounce it and what color it is etc.

 I don't even agree with a minor who still doesn't understand investing, being given initial investment capital.
It's still not time and when they deserve it they will accept it, there is a process to go through.

Today's generation of young people are also smarter, and they already know what they are going to do.
Cryptocurrency, especially bitcoin, is a digital currency that is quite popular among teenagers,
moreover it will generate profits for them if they can manage it well.

How young exactly?

For a 5y old no way I'm gonna talk about blockchain fundamentals. For a 14 years old, it's a different story. Learning early on from a trustworthy source instead of finfluencers and scammers could be game-changing actually.

There is a saying that says "Catch them Young" It is very important to note that young ones are fast and quick to learn ,aside from learning, introducing them to investment that leads to everlasting cash like bitcoin to secure their future financially is very important, in therefore introducing the young ones to Bitcoin is very necessary, making them not to be financially dependent on their parents or Care giver. It also keeps them busy always not involving in crimes and criminal attitudes, makes them useful and responsible to themselves and the society at large,gives them a better opportunity in life, the age to be taught should not  be that too young from 18years is good, because at this age you can be able to make bank transactions better and also understand properly what is Bitcoin and how it works including the investment aspect
 Education is a very important tool in life that makes an individual or a nation grows rapidly and so nobody should be prevented from it irrespective of the age .

I agree, it would depend on how young we are talking.
If we are talking about young age that could grasp the idea or know the importance of money then it would be great for them, but for those who doesn't really care about it, then it would just be a waste of time.
Honestly when I started my crypto journey I met some young ones, teenager to be exact, those teenagers are still in school at the time but they are earning their own money in crypto and helping their parents financially through it.

indeed cryptocurrency does not look at age, as long as they are able to get to know it, then they will be successful. From crypto it gave birth to many stories, where there was a young man who made fantastic profits, at that time in my country, he was holding Doge coins and in the end Doge exploded, and he suddenly became rich, until it was widely reported on television stations, but from his fame it became target for tax officials

In some local sources I've read, young age is between 18-27 years old. I think this is a pretty capable age to know Bitcoin. This age condition is ideal for starting to learn about Bitcoin and even starting to carry out investment activities. Because in this condition they have entered a condition capable of thinking better.

Young people tend to have stronger, healthier bodies, rarely get diseases. So this opportunity is good enough to work in investment to meet the needs of yourself and your family. Those who are directed in the correct bitcoin exposure then I am sure they have an advantage in understanding Bitcoin.

Youth can be of very different age groups, and individual children can also be different in terms of their curiosity, knowledge, and level of understanding. I think children should be taught about money, and Bitcoin can be a part of that basic knowledge about money (so, Bitcoin can be taught but not as an investment). As for investments, they should be taught to young adults or perhaps high school students, but taught in general, accounting for risks and just explaining the mechanics of it, so to speak, without encouraging to invest.

Try exposing the kid to altcoins first if you don't like him expose him to BTC yet. The kid will learn more about how blockchain works just as how BTC works. He will still learn about BTC even when he isn't holding Bitcoin.

A kid having a piece of knowledge about Bitcoin and blockchain will be more knowledgeable when it comes to discussion with his friends. This will make him impressive in school as well.

No need to expose the kid/teen to altcoin first, the teen need understand about Blockchain and Bitcoin in particular.
Teach them while they are still young, no need to hide the information from, the subject Bitcoin isn't a new concept again even the younger generation now do transactions with it and have more exposure than some of us. Financial Knowledge is very important and the best means is incorporating the idea into our children at early age, no need to talk about patience and the likes OP, those are secondary with your guidance and primary information they will stick to it. The attributes you mentioned, some investors don't have, overtime all will fall in place.

The last thing I will do when I have kids is to shade them away from Financial and Relationship Informations.

I won't deny that they should be taught about Bitcoin from their school itself but teaching about blockchain technology or how Bitcoin work will not really bring any difference in the main scale, first we need to start with the curriculum of How money works?, which is what apparently hidden from people to know even if they excel in academic which is either made purposely by the government for people to not understand this so they can keep printing money or the academic system didn't evolve at all.

This is the same teaching our kids how to deposit money in the bank or save it on their own at a very young age. This very practice is going to teach them how to be savvy with their money that they have. In the long run, this is going to give them the disicipline on how they're going to keep their money.

Don't think of the returns yet, start with the discipline that it should be on their thoughts that investing is an essential thing to do. And regardless of age, you can be an investor. It's probably just a bonus that you'll tell them to invest in BTC and get to know it while they are at a young age because not every kid has this kind of opportunity to know about it at their age.

Early awareness to Bitcoin is very important because it will help in achieving the required informations on cryptocurrency, this will also help in making them quickly get used to the way they should go about it in cryptocurrency, it had been observed at early age, young ones can easily get all their required expectation in learning what the desired for.

You are talking about two different things, one thing is to let a young person to know more about bitcoin and how it works, and it is a completely different thing to allow a minor to invest in it, the former is fine as long as it is part of an overall strategy to teach them more about how the economy works, while the latter is a big mistake as such a young person should not be investing to begin with, since it is unlikely they are even investing money they earned by themselves.

Early exposure to bitcoin cannot affect a child, in my opinion, because knowing about bitcoin and investing in bitcoin are different things, so you should not combine them together. If a child knows about bitcoin at an early age, I think he will gain more experience and knowledge about the currency than someone who has grown up will later learn about it.

So, OP, just know that learning about bitcoin doesn't mean that you will invest in it the same time you learn about the currency. and normally the main purpose of Bitcoin is not investment, so even if a young child learns it as a currency, it is still not bad. If he grows up and wishes to invest, he will easily do that since he already has the knowledge from his young age.


In this community, most people are already aware that investing for a long time will bring a desirable result, but at a young age, investing will not be a bad decision. But when you are very young, investing may be difficult for you due to how the risk works, but when you are ready to take it, it is still a normal thing to do.

Below a certain age limit, I think it is generally better not to scrutinize these things, especially those who are primary level students are generally better not to get knowledge about this bitcoin blockchain technology, but if they really want to know, they can but Avoid investing completely. Since children and adolescents have ample study time at primary level and secondary level, this time should be limited to studies and not spent on other activities.

Yes I think that young people should be informed and educated about Bitcoin from a young age. Because young people decide from a young age in which direction they will direct their future. If they direct their future in the right direction, their future will be bright. And if they decide to follow the wrong path, their future will be dark. Similarly if they choose Bitcoin to brighten their future then it will be the best method for them.
If someone is experienced and invested in Bitcoin from a young age then he will have a lot of time in the future to invest in Bitcoin and learn about Bitcoin. Young age is the age of seeking knowledge. But we can't force young people to learn about Bitcoin, we have to make them interested in learning on their own accord.

For elementary level students, of course it is not the time for them to gain knowledge about blockchain and I don't think they will want to learn about it because at their age they only think about playing and learning lessons at school, if they often see the activities we do about investment and they ask questions. about what we do, we can explain it slowly to them but never force them to learn about it, because it's not yet time for them to think about the investment.

In my opinion those who are studying should not invest in Bitcoin, as the thought of investing may harm their studies. It may be better to teach people about Bitcoin who are not yet earning, because they will be able to invest Bitcoin easily once they start earning. Now those who are young who are still studying, where will the income come from? How will they invest? However, investing in Bitcoin requires a long time hold, which young people cannot earn so much and hold for a long time. So it is good to be educated about Bitcoin at a young age but should not invest if there is no income.

I support introducing and educating young people about bitcoin, but I think that orienting young people is not simple and we should not only focus on bitcoin. Instead, if we intend to introduce bitcoin to them, why don't we provide them with financial knowledge so they can have a more general view? If we only focus on introducing bitcoin to them, it can be a double-edged sword if we do not manage and monitor it closely because the line between investment and gambling is very thin. Have you ever thought about the scenario where they will also invest in bitcoin but they don't hold it for long and get into futures trading or ponzi projects?

Furthermore, bitcoin is not the only way to make money in this world, so we should introduce them to many different ways to make money and let them choose the most suitable path for themselves. And we should educate them about the financial sector instead of just introducing them to bitcoin.

Young people don't even need to be told about Bitcoin, they already know it directly because all information is now very open as long as they have access to the internet, there is already a lot of information about Bitcoin available, for young people talking about Bitcoin technology can be more interesting than about Bitcoin which can be used as an investment because the price can rise, only young people whose finances are stable will be interested in talking about Bitcoin which can be an investment option, but young people who still have to struggle to achieve good finances may not be interested because it is one of the things that must be achieved before starting an investment is financially stable.

      I don't see anything wrong if the child becomes aware of the Bitcoin concept at a young age, I am my son who will immediately be aware of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency at the age of 9 years old. I will immediately give him familiarity here in the crypto business industry where I live.

      We are in modern technology, so it is only right to educate the children immediately in these digital currencies so that they are aware and this is the adoption that is happening in every country in the whole world today actually.

Exposure at young age does make a good difference to learning by experience however the most important thing is exposing yourself to bitcoins with financial strength to take on the journey. Most young person have the knowledge on how it works but do have the financial strength to start it.
Exposure at young age should not be mistaken for children. Exposing children might be dangerous to their mental wellbeing.

I agree, but for 9-year-olds, you should introduce basic things first, and it can be in the form of short film videos, such as animated films, which are certainly very popular for their age when watched because at that time they were still in childhood, not yet entering adolescence.

It is better to provide understanding like those who are 17 years old and over make the portion closer to practicing it directly can also be, for example how to create wallets, deposits and WD. For other technicalities it will be dynamic by itself.

Information is very powerful and it takes courage and knowledge to understand cryptocurrency industries. Hence the information are passed to younger once at early age of life that family responsibility has not start, while investing in Bitcoin hold for a longer time makes more profits and Bitcoin keep increasing mostly every four years after Bitcoin halving has occur. Therefore the younger ones has a lot advantage of Bitcoin.

It is a good thing, teaching children financial responsibility at such a young age is a crucial thing especially at this day and age where every cent of the dollar matters, better start them you in things that would make them a well to do adult in the near future, that's just how it is, not to mention that most things that you taught when you were a kid will the ones that would have a long lasting impression so better to teach them all that they need to teach now that they're a kid rather than wait for them to become an adult or young adult where more information are coming from different sources. Teaching a kid about bitcoin and many other financial responsibility at a young age basically sets that kid to a life that's liberating in terms of finances.

I agree that children should only focus on studying as much as they can however I think letting them know about bitcoin gives them another opportunity or another path of career. They might figure out later on that they might be interested in finance or in technology.

Let’s also not forget that not all children are able to finish their studies. By giving them a chance to learn about bitcoin, they can learn how to invest and finally make a living of their own.

Exposing bitcoin to young people is not a bad idea, it is either some young people will found it interesting or not, and if you noticed that the person found bitcoin to be interesting and willing to learn that is a good sign for you to proceed but when one founds it to be uninteresting it is better to just stop and not to bother to continue.  Bitcoin is a currency and if young people can know about their currency i don't see anything wrong for them to know about Bitcoin.

I only don't fancy when people try to force young people to know about Bitcoin,  I think it is not a good idea because when people don't have interest to know about something it is either they get to learn in the wrong way and bitcoin is a volatile currency which people must be prepared to learn and understand it to take responsibilities of every decision.  The young people we have this days are very smart and have genuine love for new innovation.

Yes, absolutely! Exposure to Bitcoin and how it works is not gonna hurt anyone. Exposure to investing and trading, on the other hand, can be harmful, especially at young age. So, my answer is: yes, all young guys should be informed and educated about Bitcoin the sooner the better, but at the same time please tell them that Bitcoin technology and things like trading and investing are different things entirely.

First of all, we need to understand that Bitcoin is a currency just like your local currency. You shouldn’t put it as something that is not like as important as others, and time will come for Bitcoin to do one of the most important currency right now so many people don’t use order currency in the country what I mean using other country currency in the country it’s just only the dollar euro pounds in general the one that is more acceptable is the Doller everywhere in the world but one thing to understand it is acceptable in different areas even country that bans Bitcoin they are still using it try to maneuver using VPN to use bitcoin in the country bitcoin is really really good. We shouldn’t be scared or anything so even in our young age you can use bitcoin very very well. Bitcoin does require any age grade as long as you understand it and how it is being used to me Bitcoin is even more better when you start adding young age you get more understanding and how to come through it by the time you have lost a lot before you start getting  more older you will be a good bitcoin trader

From what you said, it can be seen that there will be advantages and disadvantages in educating young people about bitcoin. Do you think if someone knows about bitcoin and just spends time learning about the technology and how it works without taking advantage of it to make a profit? I don't think anyone can do that, especially young people who always desire to get rich and even have the idea of ​​getting rich quickly. So exposure and educating young people about bitcoin is not as simple as we think. Like why many newbies to this market mostly lose money, very few newbies can make a profit from investing in bitcoin.

I am not against educating young people about bitcoin, but we need to find effective methods that do not teach them indiscriminately and without strict management.

It’s true that some people are too greedy but I don’t think that that should hinder them from learning about bitcoin still. Greed and impatience can be changed over time with effort and dedication. New knowledge is always helpful if we just learn how to manage and control it.

Besides not a lot of people would be able to invest right away no matter what they try to do due to lack of funds. Still it’s nice to have that knowledge in store.

Gaining knowledge about bitcoin is never an issue regardless of their young age, but the problem is if these young guys are actually interested to learn about bitcoin. Because no matter how you push someone to be acquainted and be educated about bitcoin, as long as he is not eager to learn, he will still become clueless in the end.

I don’t have opposition if young guys are exposed to bitcoin, if they will decide to invest, let them be but as much as possible, they should get a job first before risking into any investment. And be properly guided as well before deciding to invest.

It is true that there is nothing wrong with those who learn about Bitcoin, whatever their age, as long as they have the desire and enthusiasm to learn then this will be very useful for them. I agree with you of course they must first be interested in Bitcoin so that what they learn can be useful for themselves. and they can invest for their future, have a job first before starting to invest, of course this is very important because it is impossible to be able to invest well without the income we have, if we are just trying it, of course there must be someone to guide us so that we can can ask questions about investment that we don't yet understand well.

They want to learn about something for a good purpose and investment plan. It makes no sense to learn things that you never use instead, make it a reason why we should push through.

I hope young age also give a reason to prepare for their future as early as possible and see Bitcoin as one of their opportunities. They are more advanced and more techy individuals which I believe it was not difficult for them to adopt.

Money is not a big problem if we really have to make it happen. Parents could give support if they know their kids have a good plan in their lives.

Yes that's right it's good to teach young people about bitcoin but they need to want to learn. If they are not interested they won't understand it well. I also worry about young people investing in bitcoin without knowing what they're doing. Like they have a simple mind set buy the dip and sell in pumping they don't want yo learn the purpose of Bitcoin they just want to trade. That is okay if they are trading but thing is that they must have knowledge about which they are trading. They should learn about money and economics get a steady job and get good advice before investing in bitcoin. This will help them make smart choices and avoid problems.

If we convey this, I am sure that awareness will be born for our young men and women today and what you have conveyed is the essence of what really needs to be done and prepared by them. To trade, of course, at any time it is possible, but they must also know correctly and well, because on the other hand their souls are young and very unstable.

Yes. They should know that too, but should prioritize their main activities first, namely completing their education and finding a decent job, and then along the way to develop, deepen their learning about money and economics and invest in BTC.

Wrong mate because Age defies on how we are understanding matters , because maybe at young age they wanted to earn or learn but they are deciding differently from mature and from knowledgeable people.
so better not to engage too much when you are young  or better to invest and invest and never trade in matters as long as this is about bitcoin.

correct, this is why at young age i tried explaining and teaching my kids about bitcoin and about possible investing in the time of their right age.

From what I see, even today's investors only see bitcoin as a speculative tool, they don't take the time to learn about it and don't care what it is. What they care about is its volatility and exploiting it for profit, whether we like it or not, believe it or not but what I see is that bitcoin is only seen as a tool to make money. That's why I don't advocate introducing bitcoin into school curricula or teaching bitcoin to young children.

I am not against teaching bitcoin to the youth because they are the future of the world, but we need to introduce it to the right age group as well as have a systematic curriculum so that they do not get caught up in the games make money quickly.

This is why we see these people failing since they are over exaggerated on their thinking about getting profits from bitcoin while the fact with that is its hard to earn with it if they will come to it and trade. If they just think about that bitcoin is alternative currency for them and this coin is good for long term hold then provably that losing is less for them to experience since they are more dealing with it on a nice way.

I'm also not a fan for teaching kids about this since what I think its not a perfect time to learn about this. Their are more other things that they need to focus like finish schooling and build up their character in their community. But if they can't avoid to learn about this but they make sure that their priority is to finish their studies until college since this will give them proper security since there's lots of things they could able to do if they are college graduate. Rather than think about learning bitcoin early and earn from it since maybe there are instances that they don't need to finish college since they are already earning since this is a bad choice for them. Maybe they really earn fast if they are lucky but for sure everything is not consistent so they should be wise for their future.

Your doubts can now be refuted because currently there are many young people who earn income from YouTube in various countries who are successful and have a lot of money and there are also many friends who earn income from YouTube who have entered the world of Bitcoin investment, they save it as a investment. assets, so what is meant by young people today are young people who are lazy and just waiting for their pocket money at home, this is the lazy generation in my opinion.

Yes, focusing on money when you are young is not that great, but there are two things that I would like to show as a perspective.

One of them is the fact that there are kids who needs to go out and make money to support their family even when they are very young, I was one of those kids and I worked with a mechanic (for bikes and not cars) for 4 years when I was a kid and I made some money to support my family, I basically covered my own costs and didn't cost them anything for that 4 years, then I worked as a hotel bellboy for another few years to support myself during college years and pay for my education, but then father got a good money so I didn't had to work until I got married a few years later after I graduated. So it is not really optional for some kids, they have to learn.

I think informing the young guys about bitcoin is good,if they know it earlier then they will be prepared in the future,and if bitcoin boom they will have a big profit in the near future,the problem there is not all of the young guy will have a patience to hold maybe we still need to teach them first to have a big patience because if they don't have a patience they will surely lose at the end.

Interesting perspective! Treating Bitcoin as a currency first makes sense, especially for educational purposes. How do you think schools should approach teaching kids about Bitcoin?

How do you think we can create a curriculum that educates the youth about Bitcoin's technology and potential without encouraging a get-rich-quick mentality?

I'm wondering about this too, I don't know what age the OP is talking about is appropriate for us to educate them about bitcoin. I fully welcome and support if we spend time educating bitcoin to the younger generation aged 18 and over, who are prepared or no longer dependent on their parents and they are looking for a successful path in their lives.

But if the OP is trying to say that educating children under 10 years old about bitcoin or children who don't even know how to make money is still dependent on subsidies from their families then that's a bad idea. Even though bitcoin is for everyone and early bitcoin education is considered an advantage for them later in life, I don't think it's appropriate to teach investing to very young children. Just like we need to go to elementary school before going to college, everything needs to be in the right order for each age group.

I believe it's really important for kids to start learning about Bitcoin and investing at the age of 8+. When we teach our children about crypto from a young age, it sets them up for success in life, not just in the world of cryptocurrency. Since our kids' future will involve digital currencies, they must understand the world of digital currencies.

Young age ranges from 15 to 25 years old. If you wish to teach them about Bitcoin and how it works, that is fine. However, teaching those who are interested is better than pushing those who are not. Also, don't make it the main issue; they have a lot to learn in life.

This is risky since the focus is on making money using Bitcoin, so this is not necessary. Moreover, at that age, they don't have a fixed income.

Not all young people have an interest in investing in Bitcoin, people's diverse personalities will make life more varied. I will teach about Bitcoin to anyone who is really serious about learning it, of course I really hope that more young generations will have an interest in Bitcoin because this is the most profitable asset in the future.

Youth are still very productive, they still have more time to learn than older people who have a lot of business and also responsibilities for their children and wives. It is also easier for the younger generation to learn Bitcoin and Blockchain technology because of their closeness to technology that continues to develop, they can also understand well how to study technical analysis to make it easier to make decisions when they want to invest.

But we are talking about young people, impulsive people who always want to get rich quickly, people who never like to listen to other people's advice and just do what they want. That's why I say that exposing young people to bitcoin, along with its advantages, will also have disadvantages.

What I fear more about young people is that when they don't have investment capital, they won't think about going to work to earn money to invest. Instead, they may lie to their families to ask for money or worse, steal. Young people have very shallow thinking, which is why in most educational programs, they will be taught about philosophy, social subjects... it is not the right time to focus on teaching them to earn money.



If you know and believe that your child has a good plan and a good life mindset, why not tell him to find a way to make money on his own? Teaching children to be dependent or dependent on their parents is not necessarily a good thing.

Even if not for anything, it should be for educational purpose. We need to train young children about financial literacy instead of those curriculum about the old fashion style of money, they need to be aware of the new digital asset but it's not good to expose them to the realities of owning, giving them or allowing them to use will shift their attention of things they are supposed to do.at younger age fastly to adult age and because they are young, they might not use it as supposed.

If my parent were financially literate the way I'm today, I'm very sure that by the time my children reach the age where I'm today, they should be able to be proud of their dad because I would make sure there is something I will keep for them so when they reach the level of adulthood, they will be better than the version of me, focus on investment and not be able to differentiate between Bitcoin and other scam investments.

What you say is very true, not all young people like investing in Bitcoin and this really depends on someone who likes technological development, if you can teach other people about Bitcoin of course that is very good but after that we have to return it to them whether whether they will invest or not and never force them to invest, because this will really depend on a person's readiness in their financial condition.
It is true that they have more free time to learn Blockchain technology and this will certainly benefit them in the future if they can start at a young age.

Yes, young people may be more inclined to new technology and gain advantage on it, but we can’t be sure enough if majority of them will favor bitcoin. But it’s still an edge for them if they’ll learn and get exposed to bitcoin at an early age, not only for investment purposes, but most probably they can also use it to interact with other people that dwell on bitcoin and its crypto space.

However, if they develop interest into bitcoin along its learning process, then that would be better. At least they can still guarantee a brighter future somehow, that is if bitcoin will continue to exist for more decades. And if they won’t but would favor those traditional investments, that’s already their personal choice. But one thing is certain, they should get a stable job first and gain fixed income before they risk some hard-earned money into investments.

Young age young minds, i think it is better to not to rush them or informed them about bitcoin because even if we don't told them about crypto they might know it with thier own,look at how many people using new gadgets,using social media,promoting projects,apps,etc.,almost everyone has its own cellular phone or laptop,or even computer,the new generation is not like what old generation is,the curiousity level is so high and everyone is becoming wild in using gadgets sometimes they use it to scattered fake news or scam others,we are in a new type of generations so even if we don't told them crypto will become so very popular to them.

it is good to teach young people bitcoin, but first they have to like learning about bitcoin and how they can use it to make a profit. because if they are forced to learn something they don't like from the start, then there is no point in teaching them how to invest properly in bitcoin. they need to love it first, then we can teach them the things we understand about bitcoin.

This is correct. Many people will refuse to learn something they aren’t interested in the first place. But I think everyone should have at least basic knowledge and from there we can build interest and curiosity. Once that is established, we can let them learn about bitcoin in a much more complex and complicated way.

Knowing about Bitcoin is very important nowadays. Because it is taking shape day by day that people may not be able to live without Bitcoin in the future. Everything will be robotic and the volume of blockchain transactions will increase and Bitcoin will become a major payment tool. So all youths must have a good understanding of Bitcoin to keep themselves updated with the times to keep up with the world.  People who don't know about Bitcoin will be far behind people who know about Bitcoin

Early you realize the earlier you will get the better information regarding Bitcoin and in future you will be more profitable therefore we should teach our relatives and friends about Bitcoin investment. We should not only tell them about good points only but negative aspects should also be described in detail for them.

If someone learns about Bitcoin from an early age then whenever they find an opportunity by having money then they will not be afraid of investment because they will completely realize the facts about Bitcoin. Young people seem to lack patience but if they realize that patience is crucial for success then they will choose to do each and everything with patience and learned knowledge.

Right! It is actually good to talk to kids about Bitcoin, making it known to them that Bitcoin is a currency, just brief them about Bitcoin depending on their age and understanding, whenever you think they mature enough then you can start educating them on the investment part of Bitcoin how it works, and how to go about it to avoid frauds at the cause of in investing.

Exposure to Bitcoin at a young age can be beneficial for financial literacy, but it should be tailored to individual personality and maturity levels. Not all young individuals may be responsible enough to invest and track patiently, but those who possess the necessary traits can potentially benefit from high returns by investing early. Therefore, it's important to assess each individual's readiness and educate them accordingly, rather than a blanket approach for all young individuals.

Of course yes, young guys should be informed and educated about Bitcoin.There is a difference between been informed and investing.Not all informed persons invest on Bitcoin,they are just interested to know about Bitcoin so in the future they'll apply the knowledge on what they've been informed about Bitcoin.We are in a technological advanced generation and Bitcoin is a technological advanced digital currency that these young guys ought to know, when they informed and they grow up they might want to invest in Bitcoin from their discretionary income, it's not a must it's a choice.

You bring up an interesting point about teaching Bitcoin to young people. It's true that not everyone might have the maturity to handle investments responsibly at a young age. Do you think there are specific traits or skills we should look for before introducing Bitcoin education? And how can we ensure that young people are taught to approach it with patience and responsibility?

Providing young people with knowledge about Bitcoin is a good thing. They can know there are investment options for them when they are older. However, parents must be able to provide information about Bitcoin according to their age so that they can understand it. Their parents can introduce Bitcoin and all the basic things about Bitcoin so that they can learn and use it later when they grow up. By learning more about Bitcoin at a young age, they can start investing in it when they grow up. We teach them to prepare their future with all the good things to help them have a better life.

that's good, for those who are able to understand well, we think they will join Bitcoin and will learn more deeply to understand, among young people it is a form of knowledge that is very useful for them to organize their concepts in managing their economy, one of which is kta say, Bitcoin itself among young people can be an alternative for making payments without having to use Fiat.

I think I will only teach and expose my children to bitcoin when they reach the appropriate age, I don't think teaching your relatives or friends about bitcoin is a good idea. Have you ever thought about the scenario if their investment fails and they blame you? And yet, do you think letting more people know you own bitcoin is a good thing and that your privacy is safe?

In addition, teaching investment to young people is not as simple as you or many people are saying. Even those of us who are long-time investors and understand bitcoin very well are having trouble investing in bitcoin. Many people even lose patience and faith in bitcoin every time the market adjusts or there is Fud, so there is no guarantee that young people will be able to do those things. Saying is one thing, doing is another, which is why so far not too many investors have made a profit investing in bitcoin.

There's an approach commonly used by moat wealthy parents they open an investment account with a traditional bank in the name of their child where they invest for his future as he grows, it's more like a savings for his tomorrow, and when he's well matured knowledgeable about money, he is then handed completely control and ownership of the account to self-establishment.

Same approach can be incorporated by bitcoiners with their children, and the striking part with bitcoin using this approach is that it can be started with the least $5 (using the DCAing strategy) making it not exclusive to rich parents alone to afford but to every bitcoinist parent that wish to based on what they can afford. Simultaneously the child is also being taught about bitcoin while growing up. There are certain trait we will have to teach our children and not that they must have it innately before we do brush them up about it.

There is nothing wrong with young people learning about cryptocurrencies and having knowledge and education about them, one doesn't necessarily need to make investments right after learning about them but they can do it later if they think they can manage the risks and if they understand everything properly. As you said, it depends on the nature of a person whether they can be patient and manage their investments properly or be reckless and lose money.

Besides, young people would barely have a lot of money to invest in cryptocurrencies, they might save up money from their personal expense money such as pocket money or something and then invest that in cryptocurrencies and if someone does that, they would surely do it with care because they wouldn't want to lose their money.

In the country where I live, conferences about Bitcoin are held at universities. Students are provided with information about both technology and Bitcoin through clubs in schools. In other words, training on Bitcoin is available in many areas of our lives.

Information is useful in proportion to how you use it. Young people who learn Bitcoin at university may be interested in blockchain, and some may invest thanks to their knowledge. I think it is an advantage to learn Bitcoin at a young age.

Not all of them knows about bitcoin, if they do, they're probably talking about it already as we all know that kids are most likely to repeat stuff that they're interested for a while now and if I can't hear them talk about bitcoin, I don't think that they've ever known about bitcoin in the first place. I don't think that they have to struggle in finances, if I'm being honest, support in your finances should be something that's done by your parents especially when they're just starting at their career, I do believe that kids need to struggle to become strong but there are times where the struggle is useless and could've been avoided since there's no feasible reason for the struggle and no excellent result coming out of it.

Teaching children about Bitcoin is a good one, because if they Start learning at a very young age, before they get to 10 they must have known enough that will help them make good investment decisions. I don't know why most person prefer to wait until an appropriate age before they start teaching their children about Bitcoin, Bitcoin is a digital currency and unlike traditional fiat currency, it's decentralised and free from inflation, another outstanding features is that it has limited supply and it's unlike other altcoins, Bitcoin is trustworthy. Teaching them the right things on time will help them understand better. You as a parent can create a wallet and start holding Bitcoin for your children, it doesn't necessarily mean that you'll give them access to the wallet at their young age. You can create another one and use that to teach them how to hold, so they can learn to deposit from the spare cash you give to them.

At young age I don't think one should be exposed to that much stressful thing that is trading. It's not easy to be a part of trading journey as you always are in a condition of stress. Whether you're profitable or not but during a trade you are exposed to different kind of difficulties.

In young age you should be mature enough to do different creative activities so that your IQ level rises. Stress will ultimately lower your IQ level.

I don't think Bitcoin is the only thing that should be taught and explained to my kids. I don't understand how people get so addicted to one thing. There are so many things to do in the world and online. There are many things in the world that can be taught to your children and make a good future for them, not just trading or Bitcoin, there are many other things that can be very beneficial. This doesn't mean at all that I'm against Bitcoin or against teaching it, I have a point of view that you shouldn't invest too much in anything, it's like an addiction and if you're addicted to one thing, if you are too influenced by one thing, you will see all other things as useless, so everything has its importance and should be understood.

And it is also worth noting that the things that were important to our ancestors in earlier times are not for us now and the things they used to benefit from are no longer so important. So, no one can say what will happen in the future and what is possible it is also possible that something more important than Bitcoin and trading will become something more profitable so teach your children everything instead of Bounding them to a specific object.

Always teach the basics first but a passing reference to BTC should hopefully be part of the vocabulary.

The paths to BTC is via Maths and computers studies.   When I was in school we didnt learn about computers but they were about so we self taught mostly, not very well perhaps but theres where I learn to type and basic programming etc..  I hope we'd pick up something about BTC if it was there back then.

The big shame now is home mining was introducing BTC to alot of people but thats not really about so much not at the beginner level anyway.

Firstly you must look at it from the positive aspect:

Financial Education: Learning about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies at a young age can provide valuable lessons in financial literacy, investment, and technology.

Technological Awareness: Understanding blockchain technology and digital assets can help young individuals adapt to the digital economy.in all I think its a good thing depending on the approach and  guidance giving to the young individual,an so also getting Him/her to understand the risk attach.

I think those who are exposed to bitcoin at a young age have a very great chance to up their IQ as having a general underlying understanding of how Bitcoin works and the principles behind it are quite complex for any young person to comprehend simply because there is so much to learn. Young Bits would be a fun term to call them, but that doesn't account for all the meme coins and other coins they will have exposure to, particularly popular with the highschoolers and college kids of today

Normally, if we learn something we then try to use it to make money, if not directly then indirectly. If you teach a kid about Bitcoin, even if they won't be taking advantage of it to make a profit(which is pretty hard to imagine, tbh) they may apply their knowledge in other fields. I mean, you will be a better screenwriter or just writer if you know how Bitcoin works. Actually, I think you'll pass a job interview for any IT job more easily if you have that knowledge.


Not all young people desire to get rich. What are you talking about? Many young people want to become writers, painters, musicians or other artists. Maybe some young people have the idea of ​​getting rich quickly in their age, but that's only because their parents are morons who haven't taught them any better.


Making money, or rather trying to make money from investing in bitcoin and knowing what Bitcoin is are totally different things. I wouldn't recommend teach young people "how to make profit".

For me, I do not support young people investing but their parents or older friends or relatives may do that for them. This is not because the investment is bad for them, but first, they are not of the legal age which the law frowns so much at, and secondly, they may lose focus on their education and other useful things in life if they start investing and controlling it all by themselves at the very young age. And as we know, investment is risky and could be very dangerous at the same time, this is aside from the fact that it's addictive just like gambling, so it is for a very good reason for the government to have barred them from such activities until they reach adult age, we should respect that.

However, if I have my way, it is until they reach the maturity age that they should be allowed. You might ask, what do I mean? But truly, reaching 18 years of age doesn't automatically qualify a child for maturity. The child will have to prove the maturity through thinking and doing. Above all, anything risky should be well-tabled to these young children at the same, and with the right education and explanation, they will be able to know the pros and cons and act rightly at the right age.

Exactly true it is obvious that if they fail to get profit then they will not be more with you and will make your life worse by blaming you everyday for their loss. In present age we cannot do good deeds with others because they will never accept our good deeds but if they face hurdles they will say that we are responsible for it because we teach them about it.

We will just share about Bitcoin not about the amount  of Bitcoin we have so in this way our Bitcoin will remain safe and nobody will have any access to our Bitcoin if we don't trust anyone to share private keys with them.

Infact, it's very necessary to have that as part of every school's curriculum... I always believe that information could procreate a new sense of life itself, bringing in a "refreshing to the common man"

It's better to allow them young boys and girls to surf around the crypto space and learn at a pace that's incomparable to grown ups. Secondly, if their parents are capable of financing them immediately, they could even choose their paths early enough. Imagine having a kid that stakes one of the highest buy rates with a very huge capital base? ... Just imagine that!
Edit:
Seriously? Are there really some set of people that don't wanna get rich?... Jeezz  :P

Yes, that one side is also a special consideration and let them go through the stages of the educational process and focus on completing them. It's the same as when we want to invest in BTC or want to trade, there is always time and opportunity, anytime and anywhere as long as we want to start.


Of course. Everything will come by itself and it is better that the initial introduction is also communicated so that at the beginning they are also familiar with what BTC is and what the potential is if they come one day when they are ready.

Exposure to bitcoin at a very young age is good, but doesn't mean investment start immediately after learning. Since it is one of the best if not the best investment and parents are investing in it, it is the obligation of the parent to educate their children in bitcoin or how Cryptocurrency works entirely. Teaching them about bitcoin is a way of drawing them closer to inherit the assets their parent left in bitcoin, not necessarily that they must Invest in it. because they may grew up to learn another skill. But if they known about bitcoin earlier, it will not be difficult for them to access their parents wealth and they will also not find it difficult to invest in bitcoin if they want to continue from where there parent stoped

I'm split into this since we are not sure if this could bring something good with them especially we know that young people hard to digest some information they read online. And usually those young people are prone to commit mistake that's why if they are not been well guided then maybe they might experience a big loss that maybe they can't handle for their selves.

But if they are well guided and they have mentor on their side which can give them advice always about what are proper things that needed to do and also those possible risk they could able to encounter then maybe this will be good for them since provably that they are in good side and can able to learn bitcoin in positive ways for them.

Bitcoin exposure at a young age seems like a good thing to me, but I don't want to force young people to be taught about Bitcoin. It should be left to them how they build their lives with Bitcoin or something else.

Also OP another point you made is to invest in Bitcoin at a young age. In fact, learning Bitcoin at a young age is the only way to invest in Bitcoin. No, not like that. Youngsters should be taught about Bitcoin at a young age, and when they gradually become experienced with Bitcoin, they should be interested in investing so that they are able to invest in Bitcoin for the long term properly and judiciously. I would like to be one of those parents who are already aware of Bitcoin and plan to teach their child Bitcoin at some point.

First introduction to Bitcoin for children at a young age and then about investing or trading Bitcoin all depends on individual decisions but the most important thing is that someone understands and understands, I think it is quite important for young children and I have even practiced it for my brothers and sisters. who are still young, I think this is quite important for their future.

Young children also have a certain age limit to know about Bitcoin and investment which is accompanied by trading too, because if a child is under ten years old I think it is still too early for him to know about Bitcoin and also about the trading market. Even though it won't be bad for them if we tell them from the start, we ourselves who have become parents also have to see whether their age and thinking are really ready for this. Because at a young age there are many things that need to be trained well, even though in the end it is training to earn more income through various kinds of businesses.

I am not against introducing or teaching bitcoin to others because that is also how we help bitcoin become more popular. But what I want to say is that we should evaluate each individual before telling them about bitcoin, we should only teach bitcoin to people who want to invest in bitcoin and who can take responsibility for themselves. We should not arbitrarily introduce bitcoin to anyone if we do not want to be blamed and do not want to lose our privacy.

Sharing and teaching bitcoin to others involves our privacy, and that is why some people do not like to teach others about bitcoin because it affects their privacy.

I have also nothing against teaching children about cryptocurrency and everything about it, but I am against parents willing to fulfil their unfulfilled dreams through children. Majority want to introduce cryptocurrency to kids, because they wish their kids to turn into early investors and hope that kids will become rich. Imho we should not program kids that money is everything in this world and their lifegoal is to get rich. Parents must teach kids to be kind and happiness.

There is no need to force too much to educate children about Bitcoin at a young age, we also have to look at age before explaining about Bitcoin, I think only children aged 17 and over are worthy of being introduced to Bitcoin and it must also be under strict supervision because children Children at a young age have big ambitions so if they don't have enough knowledge then it will be a loss for themselves.
Apart from that, I think all parents know the right time to teach their children, but if we talk about interests, I also think that this is very important.

op First of all you didn't mention the age until which age is ok to use bitcoin. However, it is questionable how acceptable the use of Bitcoin will be for children because children will not be able to acquire much knowledge about Bitcoin. But teenagers can invest in Bitcoin if they want but before investing they must be careful about the investment and gain a lot of knowledge. He can definitely invest in Bitcoin at any age if he has enough knowledge about investing in Bitcoin investment. Bitcoin is definitely risky if we have to invest keeping it in mind so we can get high profit if we keep enough watch about Bitcoin market before investing. Bitcoin investment is done by everyone to make money. But becoming an overnight millionaire is not that satisfying. If we always keep a long-term plan and invest in the market, we will definitely be one of the successful investors.

We shouldnt throw our kids into the crypto pool before they can swim, right? Dont underestimate the kids, either. I know some smart 10-year-olds who could code circles around me!

Bitcoin goes beyond trading digital currency. Decentralised, transparent, and safe financial systems must be understood. Kids will be better prepared for the future if they understand that early on.Imagine learning a new language. Learning is simpler when you start young. Bitcoin also serves as the future economy's language

Of course, its all about finding the right balance. We shouldnt overwhelm kids with sophisticated ideas before they're ready. However, by starting with the essentials in a pleasant, engaging approach, we can spark their interest and encourage financial literacy. Remember, knowledge empowers. Bitcoin power is decentralized.

If you’re not into greed and wealth, you will definitely teach your children to be kind and be happy in simple life instead. However, I cannot also blame these parents why they are in a hurry to train their kids to invest, maybe because they don’t want them to experience the same poverty that they have been living since birth. So as much as possible, they want to give their kids the best life they can have, even if it means putting a pressure to their kids to learn investing even at an immature minds. I understand this kind of parents but for me, it’s just that their kind of mindset won’t work for young kids.

Indeed, there is no harm in teaching their children not to be greedy or make money everything and they choose to live simply. Of course this will really depend on a person's personality, but I really agree with what you said if we educate children about Early investment is of course to be able to prepare what they have invested in their child and not give up all of what they invested and when they feel that their child is worthy of carrying out the investment, of course this will enable them to carry out it well.

I think there are both pros and cons to being exposed to Bitcoin at a young age. But I think it's better to learn about Bitcoin at a young age to get used to modern technology in today's modern age. Because it can play a big role in their future cryptocurrency and future economy. There are many people who are afraid to invest about digital, if they can take the right idea of ​​digital investment in advance then they can take a proper plan in the future from which they will be able to earn good profit. I can't force all youths to teach bitcoin but I want to tell them, whether you learn about bitcoin or not is your personal decision but you should enjoy knowing, learning and study bitcoin for future days.

From my point of view, kids have whole life ahead and lots of chances to earn. As a parent, I would not push kids towards earning money. I would explain them that money dont fall from the sky, but I would not insist on becoming early investor, doing something as early as possible. I dont want to copy my life goal on them. My duty as parent to provide them; to earn so much, that I would have chance to give them first capital to start something on their own. Not to make them make their first capital on their own.

This one is the best thing that's been said here, forcing someone to be a clone of yourself isn't really the best thing, the thing that someone would get out of this, is probably a rebelling child that would do everything in their favor to not be a clone of yourself, I mean look at it this way, if you've wanted to achieve your dreams, you should've done it for yourself and if you wanted a clone of yourself, you should've just made a whole house full of mirrors so you can look at yourself, it's the same thing anyways.

For me any age that is able to account for things is enough to invest on BTC provided means if funding or accumulating is available even if the source of money is been funded by parents it save more to even the parents as it's a very good decision for their child sort means of generating money in it's own. Those resourceful parents the level of money they give their children for up keeps enough for a wise person to invest even if it's monthly as it's part of savings as well generating more money.

In the real sense joining crypto investment at early age is the best it gives you room to enjoy the investment if throughly one is holding for long term you will still have time to enjoy the benefits at good age even before older age.

I think it really depends on the individual. Some young people might be ready and responsible enough to handle exposure to Bitcoin and understand the risks and rewards. But for others, it could be overwhelming or lead to impulsive decisions. So, it's probably best to educate them about Bitcoin and financial literacy in general, but also emphasize the importance of patience and responsible investing.

As long they are above 17 or 18 years,  I can educate my siblings to BTC business because it will help them in the future, if they can know it in early age and they will remain in BTC business for long and it will reduce the load of our parents when they enter higher institution.

It is good to know the risk in BTC before learning or investing in BTC, which is what is making some newbies not to invest in BTC because they are afraid of the risk which BTC price is not predictable no matter how expert you are to BTC market.

Even though, you are going to forget somethings in the impact, don't forget to teach them how to exercise patience when the bear run is taking a long years in the market, which is the major thing that will make them to believe in BTC.

Teaching the young about the economy early on is a good move, as the sooner they know about all the pitfalls they can fall to, the sooner they will take good decisions, however it is wrong to encourage young people to invest at such a young age on bitcoin, and this is because even if they had the right knowledge about this market, it is unlikely they could apply it as they should, which could create bad habits it will be very hard for them to get rid of to.

Well, you do have a point, I think bitcoin or crypto currency is too much for young age if you will introduce it first to them, I mwan yes its a good thing to learn at early age, but I think its better if a parents will trach their children at erly stage how to have a good mindsent when it comes to money, or becoming more money oriented and money smart so that they could adopt to it and for sure they are the one that will explore themselves and if they take interest in bitcoin or crypto currency then that's when you can guide and teach them, If I will have my own kid that's the thing I will do, self development and having a good mindset when it comes to money first, because they can later on discover crypto by themselves and for that they can handle it with little guidance and support.

I'd reconsider this question as "is exposing new technology good for people at a young age", and the answer is yes. It's important for young people to understand the economic system we live in, what money really is, and what types of technological advances are out there exist (such as Bitcoin). Learning about all new technologies is important, but it's also young people don't blindly follow what is "trending", like the shitcoin and NFT rage that has been happening in the last few years.

How can they become good investors if they don't know how to manage their finances? So, there is no point in us trying to teach them bitcoin and force them to invest in bitcoin when they know nothing about basic economic and financial knowledge. That is like forcing children to study university programs when they are still in elementary school.

Many people have never had children, have never understood children's thoughts, what children need and want at their age, but always give their opinions on how to raise children to others. This is really funny.

Having early exposure e to bitcoin investments does not mean they will definitely become good investors in the future, there is no scientific evidence to prove that. That is not the way for us to create geniuses, everything needs to be educated at the right age, with the right method to bring the best results.

One of my regrets in life is not have been exposed to Bitcoin since an earlier age. Instead of having spent my time on videogames, playing on the streets with other kids I would be already earning money online for my future, so I could be right now in a better financial condition, without any fears, insecurities and uncertainties regards what is going to happen next with my finances. Moreover, I could be already proportionating my parents a much better life condition, allowing them to do everything they have already dreamed about accomplishing in life, which they never had the opportunity to do so due to financial limitations.

The sooner you start working and making income, the better, I suppose... Especially if you are going to begin from zero!

That's a very good point because teaching the children about the economy on there early age will serve as a guidelines for them because as they are growing up they have already known what they are in for, but in terms of exposing children to Bitcoin investment could sometimes not be advise able just as you observe because with there age they may not really understand the risk and also since investment is something that has to do with money it could actually expose them to some illegal just because they need money to invest.

I actually think a bit differently about this subject. Although I agree that there is nothing wrong in letting young kids know about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies or other economic things, I believe some of the concepts might be too complex for them to understand and comprehend and it might disturb their minds since they wouldn't have a vast mind and critical thinking abilities like us adults.

So maybe it can be useful to let them know the basics in a way that wouldn't make them confused or force them to put a lot of pressure on their minds, but we should let them do what they should be doing in their age which is to focus on their studies and what they want to do or become in the future. If we confuse them with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and other economic terms and stuff, they might get lost in all of these things.

I don't want to go off-topic, so I'll drop it here. Think as you please.

---

Exposing young people to Bitcoin at young age is a good thing, in my opinion. Only don't try to teach them trading, investing and that kind of thing. Explain to them what is blockchain in simple words and what is Bitcoin in simple words too. And if they will understand most of it and at least will become familiar with these promising technologies, it will be enough.
