Bitcoin Forum

In a market dominated by adults, children have found it hard to find entry points into the cryptocurrency space. However, companies such as Pigzbe, have genuine power in making sure kids are ready for the future of currency.

Crypto world difficult for adults to comprehend how much more kids! well they may be able to do better because they have no responsibilities like the adults. But sincerely crypto is hard work and I dont recommend it for children below 18 years

The idea of this start-up looks neat, it would be great for educational purposes. Crypto and blockchain are the technology of future, why not start preparing the future generations right now?
Apart from this, I believe Crypto will be taught if not in schools, but certainly in the universities - it`s high time for society to start paying more attention to blockchain.

You underestimate "children". I think a lot of children over 10 or so probably are capable of understanding cryptocurrency better than a lot of adults. Much like children are more capable of learning new languages than adults, I think it is a wise move to prepare them for this future, and they are more than capable.

I think there may also be a market for cryptocurrencies regarding communication and identification regarding their children's safety. Safeguarding personal information is a simple example.

For some childrens, with parents - school with the funds to supply all their necesity, this crypto world can be a projection of the advance economy courses, but for the "middle class" childrens is better the knowleage of basic economy...

I think the same, but that startupers think different. Maybe they just want to make some money on crypto hype?

Well, excuse me for the terms. Don't you have any common sense? if the members of this forum
and professional or degree holders have difficulty understanding the crypto, bitcoin and blockchain how much more the kids.
Don't get me wrong about this matter dude. Though, I don't see any wrong if we teach them, but I think it is much better
to let the children enjoy their childhood, this is just my opinion.

I don't think anyone is advocating holding down children and propping open their eye lids to force them to learn cryptos. lol.

I dunno about you as a kid, but I would have LOVED to learn about Bitcoin.

As they say, their goal is to help children to understand principals of future of economics. And in game form to explain what is crypto currency. But ICO is already ended on 31 of October.

NO, i don't support it. even we are adults, it is difficult for us to deal with crypto. Children need more time to study and play, no more free time to start-up with crypto.

I support this idea since kids in school are not having a properly teaching. The schools should teach our kids how to do taxes, fix cars, and make basic websites and why not? they should teach how to trade cryptocurrencies

I think it is a good idea for education, however they need to be completely knowledgeable about the mechanics and principles of blockchain before investing. Parents need to give guidance and be supportive in my opinion.

Crypto startups for the children, at first, seems to be a good idea since children nowadays are exposed to the online world, and sometimes, has more knowledge that adults. However, if we take a look at it closely and think of it deeply, I can say that it isn't dafe for the kids to engage into something like this. I think that their knowledge about technology is not enough for them to understand the complexity of bitcoin. And admit it or not, not all adults understand its nature and how it works, what more to the children? They may understand the surface but deeper and farther from that, I think not. Crypro startups for children I think will be better if it focus on the awareness alone.

Schools aren't going to teach people about cryptocurrency and if they do it will only be negative things.  Government pays for schools and they are obviously going to support the traditional financial system.

I sincerely think that there isn't enough crypto related projects for the family. Here is one that aims to bring families closer together.  There is a great project by the name of URAllowance that says it strives to bring smart contracts to the family, which will help empower the family unit, by providing an ease of use interface into cryptocurrency use.
   Things like allowances and chores could easily be smart contracted, which leaves the incentivizing up to the imagination of the family. Once a required task is complete, the smart contract releases the funds to the family member whom completed it. It seems like a simple yet brilliant idea that could really work. You can check it out below.

If you want to be seen from the side that there is no difference for anyone who knows crypto, it's legitimate if children can participate. but I feel that it is indeed not and inappropriate for now to involve children, because they have their own place which is the time to play more and do activities in the environment.

you have to distinguish between

"cryptostartups targeting children"

and

"cryptostartups run by children"

You might wanna check what Sundar Pichai's 11-year-old son was doing behind his back and like TECSHARE (ftp://TECSHARE) mentioned loud and clear that we shouldn't underestimate children.

Some of the best hackers are children (essentially).     8)

I guess you have a point, I'm not saying that children don't have the abilities to learn in crypto but the growth of a child which it has to be more developed like their physical and mental aspects by the guidance of their parents as well. Children nowadays are being exposed to social media which is not actually good for them because as we all know there's a lot of negative thoughts online not only discrimination but also they have learn something which is not suitable for their ages.

I guess it's too soon for the normal to know more about crypto especially on third world countries that has enough resources not just in technology but on the human resources as well that is knowledgeable to teach children about crypto. I guess geek will find it more interesting to know crypto but normal guys will like to be normal as well on how to deal base on their age, you know they like to play.

It's not that bad to teach them even just basics I guess they will recall it once they mature. Little knowledge leads to curious understanding on how it works, I guess it will be good if it will be a requirement on all corners of the academe in the near future as this is revolutionary and interesting innovation.

Why? What makes this different from commodity trading for kids? Or REITs for kids?

Let the children’s has their own time for cryptocurrency,but for a meanwhile just allow what parents do fo them.i am a father of three and at their younger ages i am opening their mind about crypto by telling them things little by little so in time they will be having vompleidra on how,what,why and where crypto going specially in the generation for them with most of things are computerized and digitized

It is certainly very cool that there are similar programs, but the world of cryptocurrency is still very difficult for children to understand. Maybe 10 years later ...

No.. Children plus cryptocurrency is a very bad idea. They'll stop valuing both the little and big things, like "get addicted to always having that cash, being pulled to crypto as a quick payday" "be rude to parents and the community" "be stressed and who knows even suicidal when they start losing their money" among other risks. So hell no!

Yeah i don't understand why we have to involve kids into something that even adults would find challenging to understand. Yeah it's good to prepare them for the future that early but there are things that are meant for kids to learn at that age. And certainly confusing them with the mechanics of crypto won't help.

I fully agree, crypto is the future so there's no sense in delaying their knowledge of it. It'd be like saying we shouldn't let kids use computers in the 80s because they're complex. Once a generation grows up with this, it will take hold of their generational Zeitgeist.

nothing is impossible, i have read a lot of childrens starting a company next to their regular school. so why shouldn't they start in crypto sphere? you have to ask yourself, is it really necessary to get a bunch of money to start a company / crypto coin?

With adequate knowledge of how the industry work, children will doore better then adult's in the cryptocurrency world record have have it that most of the incredible events both negative and positive have been done by children. But before you allows your kid get involved in cryptocurrency they have to attain the age that will allowed them to make right decisions may be 15 to 18 years is OK by me.

This is applicable only to rich kids/babies, I mean their parents has a lot of resources to let their babies play around.

jes let the "children" brainwash all too with their cryptocoins,

once a child declares himself king of uk, and gets then his favorite lego set with the help of his then crypto there will be a big fat new christian nobility in uk and all over the world...

lol

more than hard work pal, even most adults are finding it difficult to comprehend but if crypto is regulated, it could also have paved way for it to be taught in school which even may land us at the mass adoption. though most kids have sharp brains learning new things, crypto is much difficult to be understood easily by kids and to even talk about trading and other more.

That's it,there are only things that suit's children's and thats not including cryptocurrency learnings

They are intended to.play and enjoy their childhood so thsy won't miss anything when they grow old,so what i mean here they can learn crypto in teenage time and i see that it is the appropriate time for them to contribute for the future

You are right since cryptocurrency have to do with high risk and patients children may not be able to handle that since they are not experience in life and can easily get depressed. It have to do with the age of the child before you can teach him some things.

They can be the customers but as much as possible, they shouldn't be involved.

But in our days, the technology is quickly changing the world and kids can now be part of any innovation that we're actually using. Blockchain is and crypto start ups that has focus with different age of customers, kids can be part of it but only as a customer. I've seen kids selling lemon juice and has a post card that says 'bitcoin accepted'.
