Bitcoin Forum

Bitcoin is digital currency that is being widespread almost all the continent, and some people notice the development of Bitcoin very late, and it enables some people not to invest in Bitcoin in far back 2009 and 2010. Therefore i noticed that teaching children of Bitcoin in early stage and mostly children that is up to ten years and above, inculcating the functions and the importance of Bitcoin in children will make them to develop widely with the knowledge being inculcates with them already. I think that Bitcoin is good to be known from youthful age. I have noticed that assuming so many of us notice the important of Bitcoin in time we would have all be a partial millionaire if I'm not mistaken of being a full millionaire.

Financial literacy are way better, its better to teach them the whole concept of money and not just about Bitcoin because if they don't know how to handle their finances, then knowing Bitcoin is useless. Younger generation should start working with their financial awareness, and we should guide them on every possible way.

Bitcoin is there to give financial freedom, and its good to also learn more about this. If I already have Children, I will start teaching them on how to save money and how they can spend it, by this you are slowly teaching them to be more wiser when it comes to their finances.

Teaching children about the finance is good. That too needs to be done at the right age. Some parents used to force their children to learn at the earliest as they weren't able to reap the best out of the market. This doesn't gonna benefit the children as well as the parents. In the long run these children will be with partial learning and they never find a way to progress. Giving them about the base of finance is good. Along with that when time comes we need to inform about the alternate choices available. If he wish, let him learn because most of the parents try to educate about cryptocurrencies just for money making. This is not the right way.

Bitcoin will also help children to value money I believe. Because of what I experienced before when I started to learn about Bitcoin, I started to become responsible for my money just like how to value your money, how you track your expenses, investment and deep more into the financial system we have now, trying to understand and connecting the dots because if you want to learn Bitcoin, you will somehow encounter some of these.

There is no doubt that early financial education in children is important. Children should be taught how to save and invest early to enable them master these  two important behaviors. But it is not adviceable to introduce a child that is less than 15years to bitcoin except the child shows uncommon interest. At this stage they should be allowed to focus on thier academics and also build some interpersonal skills that would help them to develop both academically and morally.

We can introduced basic saving skills like keeping money in piggy banks and introducing the child to some easier schemes. Bitcoin education can be introduced after the secondary school when the child is matured enough to understand bitcoin transactions. Don't  forget that the child should also be exposed to privacy and online security before exposing him to bitcoin.

I couldn't agree more. Pushing Bitcoin as some sort of one and only true form of money, reeks of fanaticism and instinctively pushes people away. It should be shown as an example of a decentralized alternative to fiat, but we have to remember it's an experiment that has a risk of failing.


It's getting much harder than it may seem. When I was a kid, cash was a primary form of payment, I associated money with coins and notes and the concept was easier to grasp. For children born and raised in a primarily cashless environment, it's much harder to associate money with anything tangible and they have to learn of money as a more abstract concept, which is probably more difficult to comprehend.
Similar thing with savings - what used to be true, i.e. encouraging long-term saving, is not necessarily a good advice in a situation of high inflation and low rates on saving accounts.

Introducing bitcoin to children at an early age is a good to apply it, but you have to use the right method so they can understand what we are teaching.
Explain what bitcoin is and how bitcoin works as a digital currency, explain how to make bitcoin transactions and how to maintain security.
Teach about investment and how the social and environmental impact of using bitcoin.

Of the several things that can be done, it is important to ensure that children understand the basic concepts and mechanics of bitcoin before introducing them to the investment and financial aspects.

So use an analogy that is easily understood by children to be able to understand what we explain about bitcoin.
Studying and playing it will be a great method.

Children? You mean 10 years old below? Maybe for those 8 years old above for the basic financial literacy, but i won't introduce bitcoin to them without knowing what money is. They should learn the very basic related to financial instead of knowing what bitcoin is, crypto and blockchain. That's torture to them.

I saw a youth group watch a video on the history of money a few days ago and was quite surprised by bitcoin/cryptocurrency getting a mention. It also mentioned visa and I assume 50 years ago people would say the same about that.

I think it's going to have to be something covered soon by the education system or they'll start leaving people behind and more prone to manipulation from wealthier people that pretend to be philanthropic or are actually deluded.

Teaching children from their 7 years old on about bitcoin is a good idea if you care for their future, but keep in mind they have to be receptive to the idea, otherwise the experience can be frustrating, what can even make them have a negative view towards bitcoin on their adulthood.

Also, it's an interesting alternative to create a wallet for your children and deposit some satoshis there every month, so futurely, once they become adults they will have a decent sum of money to start their professional lives.

Children are like empty pages and they are quickly learning new things in their lives. The elderly can feel hard to learn using smart phones, find and watch Youtube videos but it is not big problem with children. If you give them a smart phone, they will self discover how to use it.

If you expose them to blockchain and Bitcoin, they will know how to use it. However you must set up basic things for them and use Bitcoin testnet to teach them.

I don't really understand people right now are forcing their kids to learn Bitcoin! your kids still don't know his passion, his future journey and his hobby. If you're always link money to your kids, your kids only look everything based on money, while actually it's really bad to see anything in money equivalent because he would become an arrogant person or can't appreciate his friend gift.

It would be different if your kids is interested in computer and technology, you only need to help them to learn, not ask them to understand about the specific course like Bitcoin.

I think all bitcoin investors have thought of that and want to do this for their children, I totally agree with this opinion, it's a good thing. But I also have one more piece of advice, teach them about bitcoin when they are old enough to be financially aware and teach freely, if they don't like it, don't force it. We are all bitcoin investors, so for us, bitcoin is the best, but not everyone likes bitcoin, and there are many ways to become rich and successful without bitcoin. Let's respect our children's decisions.

Teaching children about finance is great, but you don't need to shove Bitcoin down their throats — especially knowing that chances are, they barely even understand what money is and how money works. Sometimes you just need to let the youth enjoy their childhood, then educate them when they're ready.

You're right here. Alternatively, we can keep educating them slowly as they grow up about how the blockchain works, such as use of miners, about block confirmations, fees used, etc. instead of putting the price and investment pressure in their heads. The more they learn it technically, the more advanced and skilled they become when they are ready. Also the mind is very sharp to catch things during childhood rather than in adulthood!

With children, their childhood is full with fun and playing times. If parents want to teach their children anything educationally, they can try to do that with playing games or anything similar to games.

Children need to get funny experience from that they naturally learn things with their small brains. It is like how they learn to say "Daddy, Mommy", very naturally and without pressure on their brains.

Cartoon movies, cartoon books for them are great. Games for them are great too.

I think they if parents can find games for them to play and guide them to tips other players with bitcoin, it is great. Teaching children about finance when they are very young is not great idea.

teaching children about bitcoin from an early age to children of course it will not be in vain because surely if they reach adulthood they will definitely understand more about bitcoin.
but what must be prioritized is still the offline business method because the bitcoin business certainly has risks. and there should be no element of coercion because not all children will be interested in bitcoin.
and don't destroy the world of children, because children are the time to play and learn.

as long as we don't stress them out and they enjoy learning it then it will be good enough. but you also need to know the stages in giving teaching about finance to your children. Give lessons slowly with a method that is liked by children.

Playing games that contain education can also be an option. the important thing is you have to maintain the psychological condition of your child. The child's brain is developing rapidly. and their emotions are not as stable as adults.

and actually children are more susceptible to experiencing anxiety disorders due to stress or feeling burdened. so teach in a fun way and avoid making them feel pressured or coerced.

interest them first and make them curious and ask questions first. before you explain.

Well, at 10 years, I think they are still very too young to understand anything about bitcoin, but i sure agree with you, Financial literacy is something our children are not being taught in school, so it is actually not a bad idea if we start teaching our children financial literacy from our homes, it is in the course of learning financial literacy that the lesson of bitcoin should come in.
We should teach them about fiat , its pros and its cons ,
then teach them about Gold, silver, diamond and other precious stones, and their pro and cons,
And last but not the list, we teach them about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, and its pros and cons as well.

it is actually good for them to know about all this from their tender age, as i believe that it will help them position themselves better, for their financial life as they grow up.

The Bitcoin education is important to children but at the right age say above 10 years when they are able to understand what it actually is like the money system or how we have banks in our system.But at the young age they should live freely without any burden of learning enjoying their life but we should feed them some basic stuff through intersting manner like stories and make them aware in full when they are ready.

Screw Bitcoin. Heavily prioritize investing and finance in general. Knowing Bitcoin wouldn't matter at all if the kid doesn't even know how to save money or to be smart with finances in general.

there is already a similar thread about this  If we will about to teach our children if what bitcoin is all about and yes the response is somewhat different from each others , while we are in bitcointalk ? more of the people still don't wanna put their child in early stage about bitcoin.
so my stand remains , I will love my kids to learn about bitcoin the first thing they open their eyes lol.

If everyone is a millionaire, then there will be no point in these millions. The main advantage of millions is that can afford what others can't.

Bitcoin can't make a millionaire with an investment of a hundred or a thousand dollars. Those times are behind us. Now, to become a millionaire at bitcoin, you need to have a large amount of money.

It is necessary to educate children bitcoin from the time when they begin to contact money for the first time in general and best of all, as part of teaching the basics of financial literacy, as Scripture writes.


Knowledge of bitcoin will be useless on its own and therefore, it should be part of the financial literacy training section.

It will be best if you don't just speak to children in words, but show them with your personal example and actions.

This is the 5th time I'm using quote button to respond to someone's suggestion, i note that this is best way responding to question one by one. I'm grateful for learning and continue learning from others

I don't need to surgacoat my point of view. Why i made the point of Bitcoin it's because bitcoin is a technology and they will be another systematic ways of making Bitcoin more valuable in future, teaching children how to make money it's not bad but it can change their narrative and also make them not to diversifying their narratives.

The children age i mentioned is from 10 years above, not below 10. Teaching children of financial literacy from earlier time should be considered from the parents, if the parents understand their kids very well you can impact knowledge of financial literacy on them, Because some children get discourage and deviate from  your plans for them because of much exposure with money.

Theirs no difference between money and Bitcoin except it's can be differentiate from our respective countries. A child never get ready for anything, it's the duty of the parents to give a child clue and if the child don't want to with your plans you allow the child  to make it's choice.

It assume that Bitcoin / cryptocurrency is a future currency and it needs to be learn and pass  the information to our children's because of relevance in the society in future.
 

I think it's very important to teach kids what bitcoin and crypto are because this technology is here to stay.

Maybe 10 years old is not enough to know about the more complicated ins and outs of bitcoin but you can teach them the basic lessons about bitcoin. And once they are old enough, you can teach them about investing in bitcoin so they know it is important to prepare for their future. And once they reach the age of maturity and are ready to work, you can teach them about bitcoin and altcoin trading so they can start trading crypto. This will give them the opportunity to make money and if they focus their attention on trading with more learning, they can make a lot of profit. But you shouldn't force them because everyone's way of life is different. You simply teach them and then it's up to them.

This topic has been discussed a few times before, I don't see anyone who doesn't want their children to know about bitcoin, but there are many opinions that it is inappropriate to teach bitcoin at an early age. I also agree with those opinions, teaching them about bitcoin early is not necessarily more effective than teaching them when they are old enough to understand. The important thing is whether they are really interested in bitcoin and whether they want to learn about it. That's the most important thing because if they don't like it, then as much as we teach them, they won't absorb it.

Teaching them about finance mostly in Bitcoin is really good for them because it can make them successful in handling money, but the problem is that kids are always kids; they tend not to be interested in it and they just want to play, which is why there are only a few kids who are sure interested in it. You should also select those kids that are interested in it and not force others, as it is useless if you force them as they can't learn either.It should be also interactive and not like the same how we introduce it to adult.

In my opinion, this hat is not much different from this topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5392260.0).
However, in my opinion teaching children about bitcoin is not an obligation that must be emphasized to children at a certain age, we must have the right phase and time to provide an understanding of bitcoin to children so that children do not misunderstand bitcoin. There are many other and fundamental understandings as capital to live well and correctly to become more meaningful. I really agree with the concept of teaching children about bitcoin but it doesn't have to be focused, you just need to teach it slowly and gradually and over time they will understand what bitcoin means.
And I don't think we should forever talk about bitcoin = rich but I think bitcoin = freedom.

There is no wrong in teaching the children about Bitcoin. I mean sharing knowledge is great. And yes children are always eager to learn new things. So definitely we should teach them how Bitcoins work or what Bitcoins have the impact on economy of the country. But I am sure that as Bitcoins are not legal in many countries, so yes for that reason, no school will teach about Bitcoins officially by going against the government. As like you teaching the children about money management, tell them about Bitcoins also in the similar manner.

In addition to the fact that bitcoin is not yet recognized by the law of many countries, bitcoin is not a knowledge that everyone needs, so the introduction of bitcoin into schools has not been done. You may find that even in bitcoin-friendly countries or countries that have legalized bitcoin, it has not yet been included in the educational curriculum.

I am also in favor of teaching our children bitcoin, but we should not force or teach them when they are too young, all of that will not work, teach them when they are ready.

So this is mainly because of the money, "Being a millionaire" I think this shouldn't be the first thing we put in our children's minds. Children should be allowed to grow and do children's things while you as the Adult figure out the adult-like things. Even at school, children are thought according to their levels and not because we know statistics as a subject is good we put them through that at that age. Bitcoin is still quite young if you ask me so why think noticing Bitcoin now is already late?

If you're here or studying this in order to be rich, then the mindset is wrong in the first place.

Bitcoin is a "P2P electronic cash system", not a "get rich quick scheme". So your efforts to learn it should be in the direction to use it as a payments system (i.e. currency).



Unfortunately, public schools still believe its the parents' responsibility to teach the children about financial topics such as personal finance.

Every experience is important for a child's development. If you do not let you children have some childhood experiences, it can affect their development and transitioning into another stage in their life. Do not be in a hurry to teach your children about bitcoins, expose them to the knowledge in a very friendly manner but do not make the mistake of forcing the knowledge on them as it can affect their development in other areas of their life. Observe and know your child so you can know the best time to be begin the introducing bitcoins to them in the most friendly manner that they will be able to accept it. Telling your children about bitcoins too early can be a problem as not telling them at all.

Introducing Bitcoin from a young age is indeed a good thing in organizing their future economic system. On average, a good age to be introduced is when they are still in junior high school or when they are 15 years old. At that age, their minds are actively accommodating every new thing in the midst of their routine as a student who is learning.

We need to do stages in teaching and introducing Bitcoin to them. The first stage may be about the importance of investing for the future and how to maintain the value of the investment before we explain how to transact and others. For me, it only needs to be explained when they already understand the purpose and purpose of investing.

Modern children learn new technologies much faster and it is enough for them to tell in which direction to look and they will figure it out for themselves.It is important that they themselves show interest in cryptocurrencies and not force them to understand new terms.I don't have children yet,but when they are at a conscious age,I will definitely introduce them to such a concept as Bitcoin.

Your closing sentence looks good OP.

It's true that we need to introduce Bitcoin from a young age based on our current experience. There is something that makes me perhaps different from you that I am teaching children how to save and keep their savings safe. The savings I teach are not in the bank but in a small object that I bought. I am also teaching them how to make transactions every time they buy something. The purpose of doing these two things is not to expect them to become millionaires but to be able to buy the things they want. Whether it's toys or other items like clothes.

Teaching Bitcoin to children I think has age categories. If the age is still under 10 years, of course it is not an option. However, what we know about the greatness of Bitcoin such as security and the transaction system is what needs to be taught in a different form when they are under 10 years old.

The age you stated here is too early for children to learn bitcoin, they may not find it interesting to learn. If you give a child of 10 years money it won't be of any value to that child. I think the best time to teach a child about money is when the child is get to understand how valuable money is. Before teaching a child what bitcoin is their things concerning finance the child is supposed to  get aware about like not to accept any financial offers from strangers which can lead to scam.

Telling children about bitcoin will not be a problem, because there is nothing wrong with educating children with positive things, one of which is by telling them what bitcoin is.
but when it comes to investing, it's not time for children to think about things like that, children are only required to study.

I write like this, because I experienced childhood of course :), and I think that when I was a child I tended to play more, go to school, and not think about how to make money, let alone invest.

Bitcoin is an ultra-specific niche subject. Kids less than 10 years old or within K-12 are way better to learn an essential school subject. Your idea is absurd since it presumes that the education system at its root is already perfectly suited for kid nowadays. That is where it is wrong, within the educational sector, it is way more essential to research and develops more suitable pedagogy.

Bitcoin as a specific knowledge should come later into the mind of kids. Early awareness of what is bitcoin all about doesn't significantly imply they will invest or use a bitcoin, in the meantime.

Children should not be concerned with earning money or be led to believe that earning money is the most important thing in life, but teaching them generally about what money is, which kinds of money exist, and how Bitcoin is different from other types of money is probably useful. Of course, it's important not to make it boring and not to force children into learning these things because then they might hate it all later, which is even worse for crypto adoption than if a child never heard of Bitcoin. So I agree about teaching children, but I disagree that the motive for it should be around investment and becoming rich.

I'm very sure you've been hearing about Bitcoin even before now but maybe no money to invest in it or maybe you weren't sure of the project.
I heard of Bitcoin far back 2017 but I never picked interest in it because I heard of it when ponzi schemes was very  
Frequent in my country and with all the sad news I heard about online Money, it wasn't easy for me to risk it not even for Bitcoin but I guess I'm already regretting it but not that much of a regret as I still came in during the deep and  I had to share this story because I'm sure it take Strong minds to invest in Bitcoin or crypto with it's high rate of volatility and I know most persons must have heard about Bitcoin one way or the other and most persons didn't grab the opportunity during the dip not because they haven't heard of it but because they don't have  the money to invest in it or maybe the mind.
And now I'm not against teaching children about Bitcoin from their early age but I think it will be more better you let them focus more on their regular studies rather than crowding their brains with complex issues as Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is good to teach children. because it can broaden their horizons at an early age, and can make them more familiar with bitcoin for their future success.

We are all investors here, so talking about bitcoin without talking about investment is an omission. Bitcoin is almost exclusively for investment, other utilities will be almost useless if it no longer generates profits. I think bitcoin education for children need not be rushed or too early, when they are old enough we can teach them later. Bitcoin is not a necessary skill for their age.

What do you think would be a good age entry barrier to start talking about it?

I'm scratching my head about it. As soon as they have some general IT knowledge and fundamentals?

It's not necessary to teach kids about bitcoin at a very young age, it can shift their attention toward money and you all know that in school teachers don't teach students about money, so I'd say its better to wait for them to grow up a bit and check what this kids like doing, kids are always curious about things and if they have goals and you introduce bitcoin to the kids it can impact their thinking and goal.

I will only teach teenagers that are into tech and computers, if you think about it very well you will understand why.

You can never go wrong with teaching your kids about money or like they call it financial literacy education. There is saying that goes thus, " (https://www.biblestudytools.com/proverbs/22-6-compare.html)train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will never depart from it". For most people who are rich now, they followed the money lessons or disciplined taught to them when since their younger years from their dads and moms.
We should teach our kids too about money. We should teach them to be prudent with money. By so doing we would have set them up for a life of filled with prosperity.

Information dissemination is key in this age.so,children should be exposed  earlyto as many relevant information as possible to guide them in decision making.Though they may not be able to buy,sell or trade Bitcoin for now,but they should be taught what Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is,how to get it and what it's used for.you may as well connect them with crypto faucet,where they can earn small amount of Bitcoin by completing simple task.That way you spur their enthusiasm as soon as they start seeing results.But endeavor to strike a balance between financial education and the pursuit of other aspects of their lives growing up as kids

We should let the children enjoy their time being kids but once they can understand the importance of financial literacy and savings we will need to explain to them some ways that can help them save. Not literally to for them to earn but to put their money into something worth investing than putting in gadgets or in things that will not generate money or will just lose value in the future. We're lucky enough to be able to learn Bitcoin now so it is good if we will be able to spread and make our families aware about this.

It is not all about teaching children about Bitcoin, the most important thing is how knowledgeable is the person teaching them about Bitcoin. What exactly will the teacher teach children about Bitcoin?
Perhaps, you will teach them how to invest in Bitcoin and suddenly your investments will rise and yield profit. If it is so that would be a very dangerous thing to teach children. This is because it will push them to start investing when they don't have the ability to take care of the consequences of their investment.

Therefore, I am of the opinion that children should be left out of bitcoin until they re  of age and they can take care of whatever decision they make.
As a parent you can decide to invest for your children, when they grow rhey will inheriteit. Don't bother them with the issues of Bitcoin

Giving new knowledge to children is indeed important to increase their knowledge and support their development.
But I think you are really selfish if you cram material that is not fully acceptable to childrens.
What do you think about instilling the function and importance of Bitcoin in your child? do you want to exploit your child?.

I personally think teaching young children about the importance of saving might sound more reasonable.
Instead of teaching childrens about Bitcoin, it is better to teach and instill morals and goodness in childrens.

I think it's the teenage age that might be more suitable to be given an understanding of Bitcoin.
Because in their teens they begin to have rational thinking and good understanding.

Like some others have mentioned, I think the conversation for Bitcoin is one that should definitely wait until a child has a basic to moderate financial literacy. They should understand the US dollar (or whatever currency is used in their country) and mechanics about that currency before they are taught about Bitcoin, or the concepts of blockchain and cryptocurrencies as a whole. Maybe one day Bitcoin will stand on its own as a worldwide recognized currency with an established value in people's heads. But right now when people think of the value of Bitcoin, they put it into terms of how much of their country's currency (or USD) it is worth.
For example: if someone said: "This car costs 1 Bitcoin", then the question to follow would most certainly be: "How much is that in dollars?", so that you can get an understanding of what the car is worth in relation to what you've seen other cars valued at, all in USD.

I came across this video talking about this dude who made a game to teach kids about Bitcoin: https://youtube.com/shorts/j85ITb3Cnoc?feature=share

Here I am going to disagree with you a bit. Children's reading age is middle and high school. If they can learn well during this time, they can take the next steps on their own. But I think not educating children on bitcoin at this young age. If children are educated in bitcoin education at this time, they will rise to work and invest and trade. Then their attention will go away from their studies. Because when they deal a lot of money at a young age, they will lose their minds from their studies.  No matter how much you want to, you cannot concentrate on your studies. So I would say it is acceptable to educate them in Bitcoin education when they reach a certain age where it will not harm their education if they are educated in Bitcoin education.

Teach them the knowledge and technology, not about the value. Age can affect the absorption of knowledge, but because bitcoin technology is very complicated, of course, no one has to teach their children as early as possible. After all, not all children like what their parents do, on average they tend to like their own world and of course the best attitude from parents is to let their children master their own world and their choices.

I may be responsible for teaching my child the basics of bitcoin at age 15+, while if they are not interested it still allows me to do so for some time until he understands what bitcoin is and what it is used for. It's the same with other investment assets, they need proper knowledge about it even if they are not interested in it in the end.

I am one of those people who believe children should concentrate on having fun and enjoying life at their young age... we should not burden them with the worries of money, because there are enough time for them to "make" money when they are older.

Now, that said.... there is nothing wrong with you talking to them and teaching them to be disciplined when it comes to the spending part of it.. but do not go into too much detail, because it is too early.  :P

We do not even teach finance to children, let alone start teaching about bitcoin. There are kids who start to use phones as little as 2 years old, they use it to watch cartoons of course but tech is in their hands, those kids 20 years later will be much better at tech than the previous generation on average, of course not the coders and developers of previous generation, but when you calculate the average they will be better at it.

These kids learning about bitcoin at an early age will give them a huge benefit. However, we do not teach kids even finance and that means we are letting them down, they learn about money way too late in life and by then it is usually too late.

You think so? That those who knew about bitcoin at youth should by now be partial millionaires? Eventhough that is what you expect, that is not how it works. There are many people here who knew about bitcoin that first year it was launched yet they will tell you they missed out. They cry of how rich they would have become if they know what they know now. Being a youth knowing about bitcoin is not a conclusion that you would have taken the risk to invest in it. There are many youths today who know about bitcoin but are not investing in it.

That’s also one good reason why there’s a need to teach our kids about bitcoin and how it will be beneficial for them in the future. Bitcoin will eventually teach them on how to be responsible with their own finances, and that they will never spend on things that do not have value in the long term. So most likely, if they become good bitcoin investors in the future, they will also learn to manage their finances as well.

Teaching kids bitcoin is important because bitcoin is the future and will likely become very popular, expensive, and can also be used as an alternative to money.
but we also have to teach them at the right age so as not to interfere with their childhood to develop, and most importantly we have to teach them to manage money well such as saving and also spending money only for what they want or need, and in this way we can teach bitcoin. Because they will get used to treating bitcoins like they are managing their money in the best possible way and using savings when they really need it.
and I personally will teach bitcoin to my child at the age of 10 after my child can manage money well as I mentioned above, and I think 10 years is the right age, because he can quickly catch and understand what we teach and it also depends on how we teach it.

What would your present situation be if you were introduced to Bitcoin in 2009 or 2010? If you truly understood Bitcoin and its development, that is. The likelihood is that you would then lead a better life. I believe it is important to consider where we want to teach our children about bitcoin. If you introduced Bitcoin to them early, they would benefit more. It's crucial to inspire people about all the technical aspects of Bitcoin.

However it's important to remember that not all kids should use cryptocurrencies, and that parents should carefully consider their kid's maturity and capacity for understanding potential dangers before doing so.

Children should only learn first about the basics of bitcoin because that’s the most important there. As long as they become aware about bitcoin and its purposes, I guess that would be good enough and if they develop interest with bitcoin, they will surely find ways on how to understand more about bitcoin. Because if parents will focus on the complication about bitcoin, including on how to invest about bitcoin and using it as a currency, that will force the young minds of children to learn them in an abrupt way. So let them learn the basics first, and let them explore how they will improve and grow their knowledge about bitcoin if they really want to.

Teaching them at the tender age is a very good but if the child can handle the three domains of learning then the child is good to learn bitcoin but if is not, you have to wait for the child to matured cognitively. And the three domains are.
1. Cognitive
2. Affective
3. Psychomotor

The child must have the ability to understand the information you giving. And also he or she must have the flexibility to carry out activities.

Introducing Bitcoin to children is very natural and this might have a good effect on their knowledge. At the very least, we need to introduce Bitcoin not technically first. However, what needs to be considered is not to let children think that Bitcoin can make us very rich easily. because what is in their minds is only positive things. Meanwhile, Bitcoin itself still has risks, especially if the person is impatient, then they will actually hate Bitcoin because it does not match their expectations. So, it would be better if we still have to choose and sort the information that will be conveyed to our children so that they don't have too high expectations.

Information is everywhere if as parents we fail to teach our kids the right mindset as regards Bitcoin and digital currency at early age they will get the information outside and it is difficult to predict the kind of knowledge that will be passed on to our kids about Bitcoin from neighbors, peers or classmates. As exposed Bitcointalkers it is best to be the first to educate your kids about Bitcoin and its mechanisms so it will be easier to account for what information they have about digital currencies.

It would be better to teach the children about financial literacy.  I believe it is too early to teach children at the age of 10 since they don't have the capability to invest or they are at a legal age to trade.  Besides, the right time will come for these children to learn about cryptocurrency so we do not need to rush them into learning things that they are unable to process or participate yet. 


True, we must weigh the ability of children to process and absorb an information.  Teaching them too complex information at a young age will only be a waste of time, IMO.

These days kids are much into visual learning. Maybe trying with some documentary or with play visual could easily reach them. Soon we can see more comics and cartoons to have bitcoin, even those will help kids in knowing about bitcoin. The best part, the child itself need to gain interest towards it. Something we trying to educate without the interest from the kids shouldn't happen.

I think the idea of teach our children on investing in Bitcoin is a  good and interesting idea. Bitcoin is here to stay so we just need to be relaxed and focus on holding and accumulating some percentage in Bitcoin than keeping all our saving or funds in the bank. Bitcoin appreciates so it will be a good idea for us to save now and allow the future to determine our fate but Bitcoin appreciates with time.
Children can learn very fast and it will be a two step upfront for them to have idea on cryptocurrency now that they are young and still growing. Bitcoin is going to be here all time.

This is a fantastic idea, but you must broaden your teachings beyond bitcoin and into the financial realm of the internet. Teach them how to be self-sufficient in this world by utilizing the digital world and the opportunities that come with it. Bitcoin is just another way to make money on the internet like any other, so let them choose the one that best suits them.

Even today, some people still do not believe in bitcoin and believe that it will fail. Everyone has different instincts about how they believe and perceive certain innovations in this world; you can't force them to believe you; you can only suggest and encourage them to do so, let them make the choice themselves.

Teaching bitcoin to kids is a very good thing. They are still young to learn about bitcoin, and it will definitely affect their future. But, one thing don't force them to learn about bitcoin if they don't want to. Just because we want them to be successful, but there's no rush.

In many ways, this should still depend on the nature of the person, not everyone likes to save and invest, for some this is a boring activity, and even more so it can be a boring activity for children.

They think differently, they will be interested if done in the form of a game, but I don’t even know how to do it. Investing in it's a rather boring business that requires a lot of time and patience, and most children need everything now. This doesn't just apply to children, by the way.

People tend to reject new things and are not willing to take risks. I believe that even if we were introduced to bitcoin and understood it well in 2009, we would not invest in bitcoin. Just because we've seen what bitcoin has achieved, we believe that if we could go back in time, we wouldn't miss it. It's like someone recommending a new altcoin project to us, we won't believe it, but if it is as successful as ethereum, we will believe it in the future. I believe programmer Laszlo Hanyecz knows bitcoin better than all of us here, but he can't predict the future of bitcoin either.

By the way, I also support teaching our children bitcoin, but we should not force them if they are not interested in bitcoin. I already have kids and plan to teach them all the basics of bitcoin when they're 10 or older, but I'll avoid talking about investing with them.

Yes, this. Teach them from the technology perspective, and let everything else around it fall in naturally.

maybe it will be better when the child can manage his finances. I mean, when a child is given money with a specific nominal value, he can control how the money is used. that's a good time to teach Bitcoin to kids.
we don't know what the right age is for it. and maybe in countries that have legalized Bitcoin, are there any subjects in certain classes that might touch on discussions related to digital currency?

I'm also one of you who still believes in not educating kids on bitcoin education at such a young age and not focusing on enjoying life. Children have a certain period of time during which they should not be over-stressed. If any extra pressure is given to them during this time, they will be reluctant to study at an early age. After a certain age they can be educated in bitcoin education. Then maybe educating them on bitcoin education will help them understand more and bring much good for themselves.

I agree with you, there is no need to rush to teach them about bitcoin too soon, nor does it guarantee that they will become a good investor later on. As long as the market exists, it is never too late to invest, as long as they are really passionate, they can join at any time. Don't try to ruin their childhood.

I see nothing wrong with teaching children about Bitcoin at the age of 10 and I don't see them as young at that age because they're already developing skills and talents at that age. They know what's wrong and what's right already.

On the other hand, it would be better if they will just integrate financial literacy as a whole to the curriculum of every school. Some might see that 10 years old is too young for a child to learn Bitcoin, so maybe teaching the basics of financial literacy would be better and as time goes by, he will learn about Bitcoin and crypto as he learns more about financial literacy.

There's nothing wrong with children teaching about Bitcoin, but I'd prefer teaching them the basics of finance because they might get overwhelmed when they try to learn it.

This is now possible and this is what is happening now on the current generation because of the help of the smartphones but proper guidance must still be there with the help of their parents because not all information that is seen on the web is true and not all are appropriate for the kids. If the kid is too young to trade Bitcoin then we can just teach them on how to hodl or invest for the long term.

This should be helpful on securing their future. It's like teaching them how to save using a piggy bank. We shouldn't forget that they are still a kid so yeah, the balance must still be there. We should also give them time for playing and do other things.

Settling and removing the idea that we're all millionaires if we've known bitcoin at the earliest time and the same goes for the kids that we'll teach.

What's more important I think is that they'll be more exposed to its technology and the variance of crypto itself. The knowledge that they'll extract through the market is overwhelming. It's not just all about bitcoin, technology, market, analysis and etc. but, there are many more that they can learn from it while they're still at a young age having that curiosity of innocent minds.

Of course it's not a good thing if you only teach Bitcoin, that's a stupid act as a parent in my opinion, basic knowledge about other sciences must also be given to our children as a counterweight to how children think and make decisions in the future, in terms of cognitive, affective and psychomotor must be very concerned about the development of children at the age of exploration, we do have to teach them bitcoin but having the right time and plan is a wise decision for the development of the child too.

The idea of educating our children to know to bitcoin is a good idea,it is very right for them to know how to control there finance properly.
For them to understand what you are teaching them you need to organize a seminar for them to make them understand why you needed them to have the knowledge of bitcoin and the important of Invertement. Because by so doing you are impacting the knowledge of Invertement in to there life.

And you don't forget to pass the for details to the well about the both side of Invertement,by letting them know the advantage and the disadvantage which impels thee risky aspect of bitcoin also.making our children the knowledge on how they can invest and knowing about bitcoin is never a bad thought.

I always think it is easier for kids to learn the economic part of Bitcoin than the technical part of it.  I am not doubting kids' ability to absorb but if you discuss the technical part of Bitcoin, I think it wouldn't sink in because there is no simple example of how it works.  Unlike the economic part of Bitcoin, you have plenty of simple examples to present to the kids.  Besides, kids also experience how Bitcoin works in economic standard since kids are also exposed how money works.  But I bet, you can just say the simplest, saving and keeping Bitcoin for future use, it goes with savings money in a piggy bank's explanation.

If you'd be teaching your kid about bitcoin, It's best to teach them first about Financial Literacy, or at most focus on that. Bitcoin as much as we hate to admit is not eternal and may be succeeded by a cryptocurrency in the future or a store of value that puts much more emphasis on the things that we need, but financial literacy will remain king in any day and age. Teach your kids to know how money works, and how to save and be ready for when they can't work their asses off anymore, don't exclusively teach them about stuff that will be a thing of the past, unless you want them to be crypto historians. Then again that's just my two-cents. I know teaching kids about bitcoin is not in vain and is well-meaning, but teaching them about financial literacy first is paramount.

They should be aware too about the risks brought by bitcoin. It could be a life changing investment but if they do it the wrong way, their experience will also turn like a roller coaster. Moreover, knowing their still kids and their way of thinking are still limited, so they should be taught first only the basics and when they become mature enough, they can already grasp the complicated part of bitcoin.

I couldn't agree more. There is indeed a correct time and phase for our child to know about the reality of the world, and whether we like or not, they will grow and they will always do and our duty is to prepare them for the harsh reality, and that also includes teaching them what is bitcoin and what can it do to our lives, and of course, it's fundamentals. But for starters, just let the child/children live their own ways and let them enjoy the world under our protection because when they grow older, their habit will also change and starts to adapt to the real world.

Children should be thought responsibility and self-control at a young age.  We shouldn't indulge them in too much fun because they will grow having a difficulty in self-discipline.  We can have them fun but equally, we should teach them responsibility.  It is a molding stage so we better mold our kids the best we can.  In terms of Bitcoin learning, it shouldn't be different in teaching them financial literacy, as the earlier reply stated, Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and functions the same as currency, so teaching them financial literacy can also affect how they will hold Bitcoin in the future.  Never say investment because kids has no ability to invest because they do not have money, to begin with.


No, we cannot let them live on their own, we should guide them teach them the proper manners and right concept of discipline.  It will greatly help them than teaching them the fundamentals of Bitcoin.

I think it's the best lesson you could teach to your child/children so in the future when they grow up they won't struggle too much just like what we do because our school or parents doesn't teach us how to spend or how to save it. Well, I can't blame the parents because all they want is what's the best for their kids except for those who left them child/children for selfish act.

Anyway, I still think it's the best to just teach them this method when they are ready to handle some money because kids tend to do something that they would develop on their own then you can support them that way and teaching financial literacy will make their life a little easier. Then teach them about the internet and crypto currency and how it all works.

This is an interesting topic OP. You know children at their early stage of education are very fast and sharp in understanding things. At that age, they learn very fast and asbit is with technology, I know they will pick interest in it as they are always curious about technological innovation and are eager to learn about it. So therefore, teaching children about bitcoin is s plus and also a good thing to behold. It is just like you preparing them for the future ahead of them. This is the era of financial intelligence and it will prepare them early enough to gaining financial knowledge. Not only that, exposing them to technology helps a lot so they could be able to identify immediately technological innovation and discoveries.

A similar topic was opened earlier and there were different opinions that giving children knowledge about Bitcoin is a good initiative but must be given after a certain age.  Every parent wants their child to keep pace with the developed world and acquire good knowledge about technology but forcing it on the child at any age will never be a fair education so after a certain period of time giving the child knowledge about new technologies including Bitcoin  would be a good job

Not all children are curious about this; some of them just want to play, so we should also select those children that are interested as well as identify their age because some can't yet understand what we are saying or what the purpose of this is. Though it is really best if we teach them as early as possible but let them also enjoy their childhood, let's not force them to learn this if they don't want it, as it is still useless if they don't understand the purpose of it.

One of the reasons parents pressure their children to learn about bitcoin so fast is because they want their children to be financially at the early stage of life which is good , but the mistake they made is not having knowledge on the best time to go about it. Most parents when their kids are introduced to things early in life it will make excell in life so quick. Kids Learning somethings at the wrong age can later become so terrible for them because it is a wrong timing for them. It is better for children to learn things at matured age and understand and have passion for it very well.

This forum has more than three million accounts who know more or less about Bitcoin. Are they all financially sound? And is there any guarantee that just knowing about Bitcoin will make you financially successful? Bitcoin is a digital currency that gives people a unique idea of ​​peer-to-peer networks and blockchains. It's only an electronics cash system it's not a money mine that you can own a lot of money if you know about it. But yes one can expect big profit by investing here but it has to be long term. Bitcoin is a potential currency of the future that has the potential to be used globally like the USD.  So it is a smart person's job to have knowledge about it so it is necessary to educate the future generation children about Bitcoin to keep pace with the modern world. that's it

I would say, Keep it for them and let them learn it.
You don't have to force them to learn about Bitcoin. I prefer to teach them about privacy and security first. Once they will learn about privacy and security and if they care about it. They will make it and choose bitcoin at some point. All you need is to let them know about bitcoin features. There is something called Bitcoin, and it's secure. I read a similar post from this forum in the past. I cannot remember who wrote that, He explained it better.

Children from 15yrs and above can be taught bitcoin by their parents or anybody, at this age,the child has understood what money is and the value of money. At this age the child might have graduated from secondary school or about to graduate.

Teaching children money at the early age,might make them to loose focus in their academic life and focus on their goals since they are exposed to money early. It is something good to teach these kids bitcoin but let it be at the right time. To best way to help them out is to teach them on how to o start saving money.

It's great to teach kids about bitcoin. Early childhood should be introduced to investment that is very good for their future. At least aware of the basic knowledge of investment for the sake of his future. There is pocket money that is not directly spent but not just kept in savings. One of the keys to "success" in the future is intelligence in managing finances. And that lesson should have been done early.

I have been late know with Bitcoin after six or seven years after Bitcoin releasing to the public, actually I am so disappointed why late to know about Bitcoin and can't imagine when investing Bitcoin still lower price I can earn much profit later. I won't my children not understand yet about Bitcoin and he still under junior high school and have teach him about Bitcoin.

Give detail about Bitcoin and educate our children actually help them for the future about investment, right now my children saving habit have change from usually save his pocket money with fiat in the bank and right now he tries help me convert his saving money in the bank, now each weekly I converted my children saving in the Bitcoin.

I understand your point mate. It is nice you got a son that adapts very fast to learning new things. You know not all children are that smart and fast to learn. But for your child, he is fast and eager to learn as you have said. Learning a new technology has changed his perspective of saving that was why he became curious about what your have taught him and from the looks of things as you have  said, he has mastered the little you have taught him to the point of being able to convert his fiat to bitcoin. That is impressive of you both. I think your child will do Much better in the blockchain space if you continue teaching him more about bitcoin and blockchain.
Not only that, economically, our child can do business if his learning skills expand beyond just converting fiat to bitcoin, I think he can be able to do trading as well if he is able to learn how to convert from Fiat to bitcoin. If I may ask how old is your child to have learnt and mastered this very fast without much challenges and which platform did you use while teaching your child how to convert from bitcoin to fiat?

Once the child is given his own allowance, he should be taught about saving his extra money, and it could be the thought of saving bitcoin can also be introduce. So that when he mature, everything he learned while he was still a child will also be brought and consider when the time that he wants to explore about bitcoin and all it’s possible opportunities. However, he should be knowledgeable about bitcoin before he will try to invest in bitcoin for his own good.

It’s not a wrong move to educate children about bitcoin but never expect that they will get completely the real meaning of bitcoin especially that bitcoin topic is quite complicated. But at least, the fact that you start inculcating to them the value of bitcoin and how it will be more profitable in the future, then they will always remember and be aware of that. But expecting them to be millionaire in the future because of bitcoin, that point could mean letting them feel about being pressured about bitcoin which I think is not supposed to happen since they will be the one to chase their luck and life.

Bitcoin was the trusted crypto currency over a couple of years.The people with more knowledge had get into crypto currency earlier.Most of the people get into crypto after the 2017 year,So it’s almost 5 year up from 2017.

It’s essential for teaching the people this block chain technology.In this decade of crypto currency growth,many people become a millionaire and billionaire by investing in the crypto currency.Longterm investment is always important one in the crypto currency trading.Some people had not taking this as the serious one,it’s the essential one for sure.

Giving them some overview of the market and how it applies just enough for a kid. But if they discuss about investment, that is somewhat complicated to understand which only ended up being less effective and can still be forgotten. I believe that giving them financial education and advice is quite a good idea and forces them how to value money. Because they soon fully understand crypto investment, about Bitcoin when they are old enough to handle stress and when they also have an interest.

We cannot start teaching them about bitcoin without taking the side first about fiat and how they will manage their finances. So we should focus first on teaching them how to save money and be able to manage their finances through instilling in their minds the importance of money and how it will be useful not only for their everyday living but most likely in the future. As long as they have start learning the real concept of money, then probably they will also adopt the same value when they start learning about bitcoin too, since bitcoin is still considered a currency.

We are already at a virtual age so definitely, we should start dealing with virtual technologies like bitcoin. And these young children also deserve to know about it because they will be our future leaders and future millionaires in the next coming years. But we should also see to it that learning bitcoin for them should also be more interesting and entertaining on their side, and not just the traditional way of teaching because definitely, it will only make them less interested and do not want to learn about bitcoin anymore. So if we can teach them bitcoin and then associate some playing too, maybe that will work for them and help them learn bitcoin the easier way.

I think Bitcoin is the most popular crypto currency investment from yesteryear to now days.  Many are making money and some are losing money because of mistakes. I think most of the people who invest in Bitcoin make a lot of money from it.  So if we can invest some bitcoins here, it will be very good for us. So I want to invest some bitcoins. If we can invest some bitcoins for us, I hope it will bring us a lot of profit.

This is not the first time topics about "teaching children Bitcoin" appear. My vision is let children be children. It is better to give them overall proper education and upbringing, then forcing them to learn Bitcoin. If a child wants to be a singer, why should he learn about Bitcoin? If a child has an interest in electronics, gadgets, finances, he will find out about Bitcoin himself. If Bitcoin gets mass adopted, the knowledge about it will come by itself.

The motives of most of people who wants to teach their kids about Bitcoin is financial, but not technology or possibilities. They want their kids to invest as early as possible, to learn how to double money. Because "if they invest now and earn more, they would afford to have more in future". I think if the kid has money to buy candy or a toy, let him do it, and it is parents duty to earn more to have their kids have tomorrow more than they have today.

Exactly, not only children but elderly too. I really hate involving those people that on this stage of life since they are meant to live their life according to what they preferred. There’s a lot of people living on the normal age bracket for financial ventures such as Bitcoin. We should focus only those age and don’t bother the minorities since they are already passed the investment phase or they are just starting to venture it once they grow.

People always paying attention on the wrong people just because they are an easy target to become subjected on investment even though they are not meant for it.

Basically, this is not the right way to mold a child. A 10-year-old kid should be able to enjoy his life's childhood years and should be more focused on learning the basics of education. But of course, there are always exemptions. There are children that are already interested in a higher level of interests so their gifts should be enhanced too. So if a 10-year-old kid showed interest in bitcoin then it's good but they should not be forced into learning about bitcoin if they are not interested. Sooner or later, bitcoin might be taught to high school students as part of finance or technology. Those are the ripe age to get introduced to bitcoin.

I agree with you. Given how accessible crypto trading has become for adults, cryptocurrency may also be useful for children and their parents who want to invest in their children's future. Moreover, investing in cryptocurrency could be the next logical step toward financial literacy for children, especially for those approaching adolescence and beyond.

There are ways to give cryptocurrency gifts to children.

1) Cryptocurrency gifts. You can create custodial wallets for your child and keep the private keys safe until your child is an adult. This will allow you to store cryptocurrency gifted to your child, effectively controlling the account.

Parents, for example, can make a regular cryptocurrency contribution to their child's wallet, and some even combine their crypto-gift with real coin so that the child has a physical sense of the gift.

2) Cryptocurrency and pocket money. This is a more subtle approach, as you may need to give your child access to the wallet keys so they can spend the savings. Alternatively, you could split the savings into cryptocurrency and cash or Stablecoins to satisfy your child's desire to spend the funds without spending the cryptocurrency.

3) Crypto fund for university. University requires a lot of spending by parents when a child enrolls. One way to save on rising expenses is to open an educational savings account or start investing in cryptocurrency, doing so ahead of time. This approach will at the very least save money, and given the deflationary nature of bitcoin, increase the initial amount in the long run.

In any case, I believe that in today's world it is necessary to develop children financially, because it is both useful and interesting.

The point of my post was not to stop force learning of a Bitcoin, but to make it is not obligatory for children to share same interest in things their parents are interested in. If parents are interested in cryptocurrency or Bitcoin, it is not necessary for their children to be interested in Bitcoin also. If the kids have a thirst to knowledge what is cryptocurrency, investment and etc, then it is ok. But if father is all about "I wish I knew earlier, I would be rich", and that is why his kid must know about Bitcoin and opportunities, when he wants to draw or ride a bicycle, or play tennis, then it is a big no.

I have seen many parents forcing their kids to go to music schools and learn how to play music instruments (because that is prestige, and mother can boast that her girl plays violin), go to different sports sections (because father thinks he is going to be next worlds tennis champion, even though there were never good sportsmen in family). After graduating, such kids completely abandon these knowledge and skills, and never go back to them.

Teaching children about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is an important step in preparing them for the digital economy of the future. As we move towards a more cashless society, it's essential for children to learn about the digital currencies that will play an increasingly significant role in their lives. ::)

By teaching children about Bitcoin, we can help them develop a better understanding of the benefits and risks of using digital currencies. They can learn about the decentralization of the blockchain and how it allows for secure and transparent transactions. Moreover, children can also learn about the potential investment opportunities in cryptocurrencies and the importance of managing risks associated with these investments.

Teaching children about Bitcoin can also help them to become more financially literate. They can learn about saving, budgeting, and investing from an early age, which can set them on the path to financial success later in life. They can also develop a better understanding of the importance of financial privacy and security when it comes to online transactions.

Overall, teaching children about Bitcoin is not in vain, and it can help them to be better prepared for the future. It can empower them to navigate the digital economy with confidence and understanding, which can have a positive impact on their financial and personal lives. ;D

Coercion never works well, it just makes us and our children waste each other's time. That's why I don't want to teach my kid's bitcoin too early. Let them be old enough to realize what they want, and then we teach them, it's never too late. For me, as long as the market exists, there will always be a way to profit. Not everyone who invests in bitcoin early is rich, and everyone who invests late has no chance of getting rich.

Teaching children about Bitcoin can be a complex topic that requires a certain level of understanding of both technology and economics. As with any subject, the appropriateness of teaching children about Bitcoin will depend on their age, maturity, and ability to understand the concepts involved.

While it can be beneficial to introduce children to the basic concepts of cryptocurrencies and how they work, it is important to ensure that they are also aware of the risks associated with investing and trading in cryptocurrency. This includes the possibility of scams, market volatility, and potential losses.

Overall, it is up to parents and educators to use their judgment and decide whether teaching children about Bitcoin is appropriate for their individual circumstances. It is important to provide children with accurate information and to encourage critical thinking and responsible decision-making.

I don't think this is the first topic that discusses providing education about bitcoin to children.

in my opinion about this, let the children be normal children who usually like to play,
but if you want to teach about bitcoin to children, of course it's not a fatal mistake, it's just that good techniques are needed in teaching children about bitcoin.
and the method must be gradual, such as by introducing the name bitcoin first, so that later a child will ask what is bitcoin? etc....

Knowledge passed unto the young ones is not waste, rather a big achievement for planting a seed of wisdom and finance stability into their lives. Children have their specific rights to know about bitcoin and how the entire crypto market operates especially when their guardians are top traders or investors in the market. Creating awareness is the best spot for children usually up to to 12-15 years because that's the only age range that they can start practicing and reading complex books concerning bitcoin. Risks management, candlesticks charts and emotional state should be brief to their children so as to clear their doubt about what the market is all about, so the precautionary measures will be meet when trading. I remembered when I impacted some knowledge of bitcoin into my nephew who's fully depending on cryptocurrency for his day to day bread, he's becoming a man gradually with backups knowledge and confident about the market, I'm so proud that I told him earlier about the space and he was not ignorant of the key information passed unto him, he uses every golden chance to execute profits.

Children are not must to do everything their parents are interested in. Parents can give them environment to expose to good things but what children choose are their freedom and own rights. I am sure in future, there will still be anti-Bitcoiners, not all people on Earth will support and be Bitcoiners even in 2140 or later.

Children should not touch money too early. We can teach them about Bitcoin for educational purpose only and with educational purpose, we must choose very limited content to teach them. It is like we expose them naturally to Internet, Youtube, videos and it is good to bring them to digital and cryptocurrency area naturally.

But we should not expose them with how to use money, trade with Bitcoin in any way, it's not thing they should learn at their ages.

If we give our children chances to get exposed and familiarized with Bitcoin, it's good not bad and we will have never regret that we did not do it when we completely can.

Teaching children about Bitcoin is not really a bad idea, since some grown ups don't have that knowledge about Bitcoin, it would be a great idea if "we" impose it on the younger ones. But if you're doing that you know it has to do with money and some children can go to any lent just to get hold of money (by stealing too) have to be careful about that.
No knowledge is a waste, since they're children you make sure you make the teaching of Bitcoin to be as a subject like they have in their academics.
You can as well help the child by doing some research, by checking out some reputable and untrustworthy sources, it will also help them to know information that are true or false.

as long as the children are willing and not against it, as it is really useless if you teach them and they still don't understand it because they are not open to learning it. Why I've noticed in this generation is that they are more into finding money online or they are like wanting to earn money at an early age, ranging from the age of 15 to 17. What I've noticed in them is that they are more eager to learn, which is why this kind of age range is the best age to try to introduce it to them so that they are aware of it and possibly they can earn profit from it.

I also support bitcoin education for children. However, as you said, bitcoin is related to money, and it is very easy to harm children if we are negligent and not really serious about imparting knowledge to children. Education about finance and bitcoin also needs to be educated at the right age, not indiscriminately taught. I find it ridiculous that many people applaud and support teaching bitcoin to 4- and 5-year-olds. I suspect those people don't have children and don't know how to raise them. How can a child who can't read and write know how to use bitcoin? Will there be any positive impact, or is it just wasting our time?

Of course, let the child develop with what he likes and master as long as it is good or positive for his future, because the child will be more successful with his choice without us having to divert him from his desires, because if he is forced and not because of his will, he will not really do it and worry not as expected.
bitcoin is a technology that also doesn't need to be prioritized because children will definitely adapt to developments, and they just need to know what bitcoin is and what it's used for. And the child will develop on his own and will ask, when he has something he wants to ask and we have to explain it as best we can, and everything has to be balanced over time.

Teaching children about Bitcoin is far from being in vain; it is an investment in their financial literacy and future. As the world increasingly embraces digital currencies, understanding Bitcoin becomes crucial for the next generation. By educating children about Bitcoin, they gain insights into the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and the potential it holds for financial innovation. Teaching them about the concepts of wallets, transactions, and the importance of security instills responsible financial behavior from an early age. Moreover, as Bitcoin's influence grows, knowing how to navigate this digital landscape equips children with valuable skills for the digital economy, fostering their ability to adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world. By introducing them to Bitcoin, we empower children to become active participants in shaping the future of finance, making it a worthwhile endeavor with long-lasting benefits.

Ultimately, it comes down to the child's enjoyment which should be the main focus because even though it's a good thing, we certainly shouldn't force them to be in this kind of space if they don't like it.
Initial insight is important and now for children they can learn that while playing.
There are some methods that are currently very good and I see that there are some good approaches to children about basic knowledge about bitcoin for today.
I read this thread The World's First Kids Cartoon about Bitcoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5452899.0)and found it quite interesting what was given there because now there are cartoons that can be used as a tool for learning for children and of course this will also attract more interest for children because they can have fun by watching cartoons which of course they will like it but on the other hand there are things that can be conveyed also about bitcoin which of course rather than reading or giving serious understanding, things like watching cartoons like this will be more useful and quickly absorbed by children.

I think so
because what I know, childhood is
time to play and learn.
so if the childhood must be filled with playing and learning.

but of course there is nothing wrong if someone teaches about btc to children, but there is no element of coercion.

but of course teaching children to invest in btc from an early age is a good thing because when they grow up they will be more profitable.
know about btc

In 2009 and 2010, Bitcoin was in its primary stage and many people knew nothing about it, so many were not able to invest.  Bitcoin is very popular now.But everything has its compatibility whether it is age or knowledge.  Children are being taught about Bitcoin and mostly children who are ten years old and above but it will never have a positive effect.Bitcoin is not for children, Bitcoin is for adults.  Who understand about its function. A child will never understand and handle the function of Bitcoin properly. I don't think it will help to develop massively.It is not the right age to teach children about money.  Since Bitcoin has risks, it would be even more risky for children.

Almost everything we struggle and do in this life balls down to earning money but unfortunately financial education is not included and taught in our school system. Financial literacy is very important aspect of our life that the government neglects and the resultant effect is that people graduate from school and are still asking how to earn money. Parents needs to fill in this vacuum by helping in educating our children at home and the best time for children to get financial education is during their teenage age 13 years and above. And when it comes to teaching children about Bitcoin starting from age 15 makes a whole lot of sense because it will hhelp them become more experienced as time goes on than when they started late.

Yes everyone should get knowledge about all those ways which are good in order to give you more profit so whenever a person  cannot involve in one way so he will surely join the other way but if he Don't have any idea then how he will select his path of success?

There are lots of people who just earn to make the life of their children Easy but they don't give any idea to their children that how to earn and how to manage life expenses so whenever their children grew up they are unable to earn and make their lives satisfied. It is important to tell their children about any field may be its bitcoin or something else but remember that teaching about bitcoin is one of the interesting and beneficial way so children will easily get it.

I think that there is abundance of vicious information on the internet. The main problem is the protection of childrens' minds from bad content. Bad content includes not only "restricted sites", but also demonstration of bad lifestyle in the content, which is not marked as "prohibited". None of the main search engines nor main streaming platforms provide protection from these things. So I think we should protect children from aggressive content first, it's better not to let them use Internet alone at all.

Bitcoin is a strong project whose sole purpose is to provide the market with a high level of volatility and liquidity. Traders trade bitcoin with the primary goal of generating higher earnings from the space; educating our children on bitcoin has a positive impact on the children; they know how to earn money online, and we must not neglect to inform them on everything they need to know about the space.  Bitcoin is a risky project, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't raise awareness about it among our children. It's preferable to teach our kids the operation of the crypto market ourselves rather than allowing them to grow into adults and learn about it from the public or their peers, which they may end up staying at the wrong path.

Economic crises in countries are already leading societies to have information in the field of financial literacy. It has become a necessity. Many people who are dissatisfied with their income are trying to learn to improve themselves. We can teach kids about bitcoin and many economics. At least they grow up to be economically prone individuals. They then become familiar with the situation when they encounter something in this type of economy.

Those who are dissatisfied with their income are not only trying to lean to improve themselves but they are also looking for alternative ways to earn more money.  In this case, Bitcoin had greatly help in supplementing day job either with trading or offering service that pay in Bitcoin.

As usual, when the engagement with bitcoin is productive, it is not a waste to teach the method to kids who are 14 and above of age since they have an understanding of things happening around them.  And in just one cycle of the Bitcoin market, these kids will be considered as of legal age and can participate in global economic activities.  So teaching them about Bitcoin and enriching their knowledge until the get to legal age is an advantage for them in terms of finding a source of income.

If you want your children to grow up to be economically prone individuals, we should focus on teaching them about finance, not just bitcoin. Because bitcoin is not the only asset that can get rich, and the future of bitcoin is still uncertain.  in my opinion, teaching them about finance, economics, and then bitcoin would be more complete and complete than just focusing on bitcoin or cryptocurrencies.  it would be a big mistake to teach them only bitcoin and not finance.

Yep. It is not necessary to teach children below 5 years about Bitcoin investment. Children 4-5 years old prefer to learn about common things around our environment, it is not the right time to learn about finance or investment. At least, they are already in Senior High school, at this age they have the ability to understand more serious things such as investment, finance, money management, etc. Sure, learning our children about Bitcoin is okay as long as we teach them about it at a proper age.

The teaching of Bitcoin to 4-5yrs is really a waste of time, is like talking to someone whom you know can't respond to what you'd understand or talking to a dump person and expect him or she to say something you'd understand. No knowledge is a waste but I Don't support the teaching of Bitcoin to that age bracket (4-5yrs) because their brain can not comprehend any of such you say to them.

Well it would be rare to find kids who want to learn Bitcoin at a young age I guess, since they prefer like video games, school, sports, etc. we should know what our kids love because it will help them find what their passion is. I'm supporting if a kid wants to learn Bitcoin or cryptocurrency but I should keep attention to his mind too if he has a greedy mindset then I will recommend he focus in his school first.

I believe that learning how to value money is the most important lesson to learn since, regardless of how much you know about bitcoin, your money is useless if you don't appreciate it. Children need to learn about bitcoin, especially in the modern world when having money is necessary. Due to the fact that not everyone will be wealthy or have a lot of money, we occasionally need to teach our children and young ones about bitcoin.
Even while education is crucial in life, it will be beneficial if we learn how to live independently because no one can predict what the future will bring.

If any student above 15 years is interested in Bitcoin then he should be helped in this regard. Because along with education he can develop a good idea about investing in Bitcoin which will be very useful when he invests later. In addition to studying textbooks in various schools and colleges, if extra parts are given about these subjects, then every student will be able to support himself a lot in career formation along with education. But I think it's better not to discuss bitcoin or investment with minors because minors who never think about making any decision are very likely to make mistakes so it's better to discuss this with someone who is a bit more mature.

Teaching children about Bitcoin at an early stage can indeed be beneficial in terms of increasing their awareness and understanding of digital currencies. By introducing the functions and importance of Bitcoin to children, they may develop a broader perspective and knowledge that can potentially benefit them in the future. While it's true that early adopters of Bitcoin have experienced significant financial gains, it's important to note that investing in Bitcoin or any other asset comes with risks and uncertainties. Educating children about the concepts and potential of Bitcoin can help them navigate the evolving digital landscape and make informed decisions when they are older.

What is "at an early stage" for you? Until 6-7, while they are in kindergarten it will be a waste of time to teach something like to them. They barely know what money are. First grades arent best age to teach them either, because they focus on learning basics, and cryptocurrency isnt basic knowledge. Children are focus on playing games, having fun, learning is a big "no" for most of them, as this isnt "cool".

To get kids to learn Bitcoin it would be a not so good thing with the time that it should be playing for them. but you have to learn in general about what Bitcoin is and how Bitcoin works with their understanding. but if your child wants to invest from a small age why not.

But the training in cryptocurrencies and bitcoin should go after the course on the standard explanation of linear finance and assets. The key concepts of financial literacy should be disclosed.
I think so because bitcoin is a risky asset, and you can't immediately teach tracking about it. After all, cryptocurrencies are not a revolutionary technology for everyone, for many it is just a speculative tool. And in this speculation, the one who knows little is the prey for whales.

But I don't think many people know it, most of the comments are exaggerating bitcoin and like they are treating bitcoin as their god. We cannot yet confirm whether bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are the financial revolution, as it is too early to draw that conclusion. But so far, cryptocurrencies and bitcoin are speculative and financial markets with winners and losers. I really don't see any benefit in teaching bitcoin to kids, as they have more important things to learn. Bitcoin gives very good returns, but that doesn't mean everyone who knows bitcoin will become rich or an entrepreneur.

Yes, that's right, because basically they are in the growth stage of their life process, and in a line that is still reasonable in the sense that there is no element of force here, because in general their level of development is not all the same, although this is a very good thing with teach what Bitcoin is to children, but from a positive perspective and the impact that will be received will certainly be big, when they start doing it so that it moves to teenagers and even adults later.

Well i don't buy the idea of trying to force things on our children, I just feel we're  trying to force our regrets on our children, hence getting them to attempt what isn't their passion.
The idea of us teaching children about bitcoin  isn't a bad one but I think we should take things easy on our children and let them grow with the normal standard of life rather than getting them ahead of life.
We should teach and not force them to adopt and also remember that alot of people are millionaires and still don't own a single bitcoin or any cryptocurrency and don't make it seem success depends on cryptocurrency.

Teaching children about Bitcoin is a nice thing because it will give them that grounded knowledge and understanding of Bitcoin before they come of age. From ten years is not bad at all at least before clocking eighteen the child will be alright.

I am sorry but it is not going to be something that I could actually consider as an alright situation, I obviously would love to have kids learning but we are not going to really be able to teach children who do not want to learn neither. Have you ever seen kids that are 12 years old or younger? It is practically impossible to teach them anything substantial, no need to, you could teach them life skills, things that will make them understand how life works, the simple things, and all the "thanks" when they need to say, so being polite, all that.

But, when we are talking about teaching them knowledge? How many of you remember how many things you learned before you were 12? Not many right? You went to school hours and hours a day, and what have we learned? Most of them we learned afterwards, aside from simple stuff obviously.

We must pay attention to other factors in this case, especially in the interests of a child.
Even though children are basically dependent on their parents, on the other hand we also have to get used to children's freedom of expression.
Actually there is nothing wrong in this and of course the teaching of bitcoin is definitely something very good. It's just that we also need to think about what steps we have to take in teaching because of course when we tell our children about bitcoin, we also have to understand exactly what conditions are like in bitcoin.
Do not let what we teach turn out to be wrong, therefore before teaching it would be better for us to learn more about this so that in the end what we convey does not become a misleading mistake.

That is a good previlage for a children having the knowledge of Bitcoin and know it works been used, also teaching them how it can be trade with other crypto pairs to make profits, like wise investment part can also applicable to Bitcoin with a less risk and more profitable for long term holding.

Financial awareness should start from home, this is not something they are going to be teach in school, I know a man who is into the stock market and real estate, he has two kids, 9 years old and 7years old, you won't believe how smart these kids are when it comes to money and making money, at that age these kids already know what to do to make money, thanks to their father and when I asked how this won't interfere with the kids future he said that kids of today can handle more hits than us, they are smarter for their ages.

Letting your kids know about Bitcoin and money won't stop them from focusing with whatever they want to achieve, it's just that them knowing is better than not knowing a thing at all.

I kind of disagree with you on this very statement of ours, because though Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that has come to stay, teaching children about the basics of Bitcoin, how it works, its features, and factors that could affect the price of bitcoin at an early age is not a bad idea, but teaching children about how to invest in Bitcoin is what is kindly discourage that shouldn't be done, since they are yet to have a fund of their own and still relying on parents for basic needs, of which it's of no need teaching children the investment aspect of Bitcoin, until they have grown up to teenage age.

Teaching children things about financial stability and all is way too far for me, I will love for my children to be taught about anything like Bitcoin in their teen ages at least they would have been able to know things related through their school curricula in economics and business-related courses before I introduced any coin to them.

 When I watched the Bitcoin and the Beast Twins, children bitcoin cartoon I came to realization that children can learn bitcoin very fast through cartoon videos. And not all children are to teach bitcoin and only for those ones which their mind are interested in video games and internet stuffs. Some children are addicted to watch cartoon only while some are addicted to play video games only so these two categories of children are the ones that I recommend to learn bitcoin.

That the o p mentioned that teaching children about bitcoin should at least start from the age of 10 and above.Before children learn about Bitcoin they should at least start with a history of Bitcoin I mean before going into the profit inherent in it.Besides, I am wondering who would do a better job at teaching kids about Bitcoin, is it the school, the parents or some random dude on the internet?

This is actually the truth on which even if they would know about bitcoin then investment thing couldnt really be that possible yet just like on what you said that there's no way that they could be able
to invest on those young years and its true that it shouldnt really be something that forceful on letting them know on what Bitcoin is all about. Just explain about the basics on the time that they would be able to comprehend which is something that would really be depending on a child. There are moments or times which they arent really that prepared nor ready to hear up things
specially into something that it is a bit technical.

As a parent or guardian then you shouldnt really be that forceful on doing so on letting your child know on what it is.We know that there's always a right time on everything.
You would really be able to find out if its the right time to explain on whats Bitcoin or overall crypto space on the right time you do see that he/she
could easily to take grasps on.

It is good to teach children about financial matters, but pay attention to the appropriate age. Because this is the age of their development, cramming too much knowledge will only make them bored and hateful, and that's it. It is advisable to arouse their curiosity and encourage their discovery so that they can learn financial knowledge. Along with that, letting them know the right approach and risks associated with cryptocurrencies is just as important as discussing the potential benefits. The important thing is whether the children are interested in this issue or not. We only give instructions so that children can learn and find out on their own.

at least all of that can be a source for children's learning, although the main thing is the role of parents, providing learning about bitcoin will introduce children to keep up with the times, and the two schools should also be used as a curriculum for learning if a country wants to introduce bitcoin widely. after having a basis from both places, for the development of children can learn from the internet about what they want to know more. that way it will be easier for future generations to introduce bitcoin, especially for those who will pass on bitcoin to their offspring, of course learning about bitcoin is mandatory

Yes, that's right, and I think this knowledge is not in vain for them to get, after all, at least they get some very valuable knowledge in a basic understanding of Bitcoin, and they will have a positive impact when they do it when they are able later.

Yes, everything have got the right time. We should never do things forcefully. They need to be left to do what they wish and concentrate much. There is lack of reading habit among the children, this needs to be encouraged. So that we can advice the children to read particular book. The same might add interest within them and explore more about the particular thing.

Teaching children about Bitcoin now will help them acquire better knowledge and skills later on. and if they have idea about this bitcoin will help to pay in future. But I think it would be best not to teach Bitcoin to children under 15. Because children have a bright future if they start investing in bitcoins from a young age and drop out of education then it is not a good decision for children. So I think the knowledge about Bitcoin and investing will definitely be best done by the younger generation. They will understand everything and earn good money in investments and young people can take responsibility of their money. They can gain knowledge about financial management about more bitcoins and profit. At this stage they will be able to take bitcoin education along with their academy education and they will be able to acquire skills in both ways.

I have had children, and I agree with what you say. Bitcoin should only be taught when children are over 15 years old or, better yet 18 years old.
It's never too late to teach them bitcoin at that age. Because at that age, children already have a basic knowledge of everything, and acquiring knowledge about finance and investing will be a lot easier when teaching children from 3 to 5 years old. Many people are advocating for teaching bitcoin to young children, and I really don't know what the benefit is here.

That is a good idea and also a bad idea.

It's a great idea because by introducing young people to Bitcoin from an early age, they can take advantage of their youth's enthusiasm to continue learning and growing in studying Bitcoin.

The bad idea is that if you only educate about Bitcoin then there are a lot of problems that are currently being faced by Bitcoin. Starting from the very high GAS Fees, transactions on the blockchain network are slow, and the tendency to see Bitcoin as an asset rather than as a currency.
My suggestion is that you should teach children about cryptocurrency and blockchain which has a broader scope of knowledge than just teaching Bitcoin only.

indeed teaching bitcoin is good for children so that they grow up to be smart kids in doing business, especially in the field of bitcoin investment.

but of course there shouldn't be an element of coercion because of course not all children will be interested in bitcoin.
because usually children will be more interested in games and so on.
so don't force kids to learn about bitcoin.

so even though teaching about btc
must be in a good and unique way.

The delay in getting to know bitcoin is definitely caused by the internet network that has not yet expanded to certain areas and could be due to the branding pattern carried out by the government which is trying to issue bitcoin on the negative side. But sooner or later people start to slowly realize what bitcoin can provide, the benefits of investment and investment security and the way individuals manage the financial system that can guarantee investment value in the long term.

Introducing bitcoin from an early age to students is good and gives an idea of how developments are now at the semi-digitization stage. The criteria for the age of the child in question must also be over 12 years of age and over, because psychologically children under the age of 12 cannot be taught to earn money that is too vulgar. There is a big impact that will be felt by children thinking at that age and often they will feel that making money is far more important than education.

Good criteria depend on a person's age level, if you talk about bitcoin to elementary school children it will not have any impact on them and even after you introduce them they will again forget what you said. Make certain criteria for the age of the child when you try to teach him and I don't agree if elementary school children are forced to know money or bitcoin too quickly.

For them what needs to be given is education on identity formation, character building and giving an understanding of responsibility on teaching values and when the time is right they will be better prepared to live in any conditions, knowing money too quickly will make them negligent in responsibilities and life they will be much more difficult for their parents to control.

Teaching something that has a positive impact on young children, whatever something that is discussed, will definitely be absorbed and quickly developed in the child's mind. Because the brain or mind of children still has a high absorption of learning. So teaching children about investing in bitcoin is indeed the right thing. Because by instilling an investor mentality since childhood, it will strengthen someone to be able to invest when they are really sufficient. But teaching kids about bitcoin, is not something to be taken lightly. Because most children are the majority in the world, rarely is anyone interested in investing, for example, like investing in bitcoin. So there will definitely be challenges when teaching kids about investing in bitcoin.
But most importantly, children have been given a good insight about bitcoin. Even though at first the children who were taught weren't much interested in bitcoin, if the thinking and knowledge about bitcoin has existed since childhood, it certainly won't be difficult to start and develop when one day you want to invest in bitcoin.

This ia true but there are some people today who invested and indulge themselves with bitcoin, they sold out of proportion without knowing the value of what they had. I myself only agree with you that they should be given a thorough knowledge on bitcoin, also orient and sanitize  them on their investment journey.
For those people who had the chance to invest in bitcoin back then never hold till date and I believe it's because of not knowing the features and futures of bitcoin, I still believe people never sees it as something very important and valuable to our society then, but as time goes that is how people began to develop interest in buying and holding bitcoin, same it is when giving children the basic needs why they should know about bitcoin in other not to be left out entirely.

Of course, it is not unreasonable to teach children about Bitcoin, the use of Bitcoin, the growing demand for the future of Bitcoin, etc. I think discussion on Bitcoin, topical discussion should be included in primary and secondary education level. If a child can learn about Bitcoin in addition to other education at an early age then this little child of today will become very experienced on Bitcoin in the future.  Moreover, countries where Bitcoin has been legalized should universally include a subject category on Bitcoin in the syllabus. All these subjects have already started to implement, for example EL Salvador has introduced education and courses on Bitcoin at the university level as well as higher education.

I think that children should learn about basic only. When they are in primary school, the amount of information they get is already huge. Math, reading, writing and etc. Few months or years all they did was playing with toys, watching cartoon, and now a stress of study hits them. Adding new (Bitcoin study) isnt good. During secondary school they are busy also. Mastering basic skills, new things they learn. Dont forget teenager transformation period. And parents came with "lets learn about Bitcoin, technology and earning" or they get a new subject at school. 100% they wont be interested in it and wont stay focused. It will be a waste of time. But when children are about to finish school, then it is a good time to learn something new. Something that might influence on their university choice and career. But such children aint children anymore.

I would not teach children Bitcoin. They are children after all. They will have childhood only once. I dont want them from very beginning of their life to start to think about "how to earn, how to get a career, where to invest, how to get money and etc". Let them enjoy their life. They have plenty of time to learn, to work in future.

No child wants that, it's just that we adults are forcing them, trying to impose our thoughts on them without caring about their feelings. I won't teach my kids bitcoin until they are adults, they can take responsibility for what they do. It will probably be later than many people, but I think it will be good for my son. For me, there are many ways to make money to become rich, not just bitcoin, so if they don't like it, I never force it. I will only teach them bitcoin when they want to do it. Our parents don't force us, there's no reason we should force our children.

It is the personal right of everyone to teach their children or not about Bitcoin. Children are synonymous with play.
But we as parents also have to be smart about how to approach Bitcoin in ways that are specific to children.
Not like the general ways that make us think hard.

No need to tell them how to get income from Bitcoin, how to mine Bitcoin, or how to invest because we know they won't be able to accept it.
We only need to do a playing method that includes Bitcoin characters in the game, such as using the Bitcoin logo in a guessing game, or other games.
There are still many ways that can be done.

I also won't burden my child's mind with the knowledge that they shouldn't know yet, this is just an introduction.

When you teach children, you must simplify things as most as possible. They need to start with very simple things and they don't need to understand what they see, what they listen to at the first time. They can slowly digest information with time but they are like white papers and can learn very fast. Like they learn to open and watch Youtube and the likes.

I agree with you that if we teach children, we should not teach things about money, they should not touch money when they are children like how I was taught in my childhood. I could be wrong but I support this education approach and don't want to make my children becomes addictive with money, how to get rich and the likes.

Look, the school does not even have a subject that could teach children how to handle money, and you want lessons about bitcoin to be introduced into the educational program? Of course, this would be very good, but we understand that this is not realistic at the moment.

Financial education for children is a very important subject, it is the most important subject that they will need most in life, but for some reason the Ministry of Education believes that it is more important for children to learn geometry and physics, which they may never need in life. But as soon as they finish their studies, adulthood will begin for them and money will become one of the most the most important thing in their lives.

Teaching your kids about Bitcoin maybe not a bad idea. But be mindful what you teach to your kids, it depends how old is your children. If you are planning to teach Bitcoin to your kids below legal age maybe you should start by teaching saving money and how to properly spend their money. And when they are in legal age you can teach them about investment and start to teach them more about bitcoin technical and operational.

If you are getting to old to handle trading or mining, you can give your wallet to your children so that they can continue what you started. Just like a heritage to your kids. Just teach them to not to be greedy.

As most parents would say that, "Children would follow your example not what you say", since children will always look up to their parents as their role models, which is also why it is better to show them how to manage finance or show them how to be more financially practical in their way of spending than teaching them only the structure of investments or bitcoin. Indeed Bitcoin is some form of store value, but without financial awareness they will only spend money the way they were taught or maybe they will be influence on their peers or the whole generation thing.

I completely agree with your idea where we are teaching children and giving them different type/ modes of educations, then we should try to give practical skills to them. Teaching children about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can be a valuable educational experience. While the decision to introduce children to complex financial concepts like Bitcoin should consider their age and understanding, this will increase their technical thinking, trading awareness and financial literacy.  However, it's important to approach teaching children about Bitcoin with caution and age-appropriate content. Overall, teaching children about Bitcoin can be a valuable educational experience.

Actually children when they have to focus on formal education because at the age of 10 they cannot analyze Bitcoin and this will be difficult for them to understand, in my opinion there are other things that we better teach them to live, maybe if financial problems can be taught at that time so that later they can manage their expenses when they are teenagers, But if you have high intelligence, maybe we can teach the basics of Bitcoin because later when he is a teenager he can immediately do his own research, and surely he will be interested in having it.

Your argument is right about "Children follow examples not what is said". Parents are always the role models for their children.
But when what we are talking about here is Bitcoin, digital money that has no physical form.
So what we will model on Bitcoin activities will certainly not always be seen by them.

Examples that are too burdensome for their minds will not be able to follow, even they will continue to ask what we are doing.
Therefore, introducing a little about Bitcoin in a simple way is very necessary.

When they are old enough to know, then explaining everything about Bitcoin and how it is transacted will be very appropriate.
Financial awareness will grow over time while learning simple knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

I see that some technological developments are also gradually losing the free space for children, typically from the story in my family when young children now do not have many free activities with them play space like the day before that I experienced. Seeing how children as young as 6- 7 old use computers or phones competently and access harmful information on social networks makes me have a pretty full time for my thinking and perception. them in life, sometimes do not want to impose but really I want children to understand the value and connection rather than stubborn selfishness in behavior because of being too pampered. The way to share information with young children will have many different ways, like you talk about creating a reading habit, I have also gradually changed the children through playing computer games, they will read more. stories about the characters in that game, gradually changing the type of books and directing them to a cleaner environment.

Yes since we've discovered Bitcoin when we were an adult already, so thinking that teaching them early would give them a lot of advantage but I think it's not. The mind of a child compare to an adult is too different. They are not matured enough to comprehend and absorb those complicated knowledge for them to have advantages in this industry. Of course kids like them exist but kids should enjoy their childhood without the pressure of learning something they don't even understand. I agree that forcing them to do things they don't like to learn is a big no. They might have different talent that could earn much more than learning in Bitcoin. You could just introduce Bitcoin to them when they are near to adulting stage then it's up to them to study it.

I am more concerned if this education is applied to our children after they finish high school and above. because I think that even if we give this related understanding it will feel like it will compete with the basic task of studying and completing the study. After he is ready, we will direct him step by step to understand with direct practice, for example doing basic level trading so that he will be more familiar in the future.

At some point I just feel teaching Bitcoin to children with age 10 can be complicated because the child can mix up things when it comes to how Bitcoin operate, I don't know but making it come to the child's standard can be a bit hard that's for 10. I'd prefer to operate with the child under the age 14-16 above, they can handle the operation of Bitcoin without mixing things up. Since we're in a digital would I feel a 14yr old child can dig in the internet and get interesting information on how to go about it even more better than what he/she had been taught.

I got your point, but many people in this topic, or in topics with similar idea have one strong opinion - they should teach kids Bitcoin now, so that they could earlier start to "buy low, get rich in few years by holding". They want their kids to start buying, trading, investing as soon as possible, because "the sooner they start, the more rich and faster they would be". As if they want to replace their missed opportunity to buy Bitcoin in 2011 with children early cryptocurrency enthusiast career.

Everyone even wants that, to buy low to become richer by holding early which is then passed on to children with the same guidance.
But that ambition can't be passed on directly to children. It needs to be adjusted of course.

Doing trading activities, and investing in Bitcoin requires basic trading knowledge. Children still can't even understand the basic science of trading.
They will probably only know what Bitcoin means.

Every parent wants their child to get a good investment in the future and get a better life. But these ambitions must be done correctly.
don't instill a get-rich-quick mindset with Bitcoin in children, it will disturb them, everything requires a process and it must be taken step by step.

The world is a fast place where things tend to evolve very fastly and with the current trend of bitcoin taking over the financial world it is only advisable that everyone moves with that trend. El Salvador making bitcoin a legal tender is prove that bitcoin has grown very big and in the coming years more country will also troop in this trend of new money so actually teaching the children about it is like giving them an upper hand since they are the ones that are referred to as the future.

Teaching your kids everything you know about money is not going to be in vain, I believe that teaching them how to make money in today's world will give you more peace of mind instead of waiting om them to figure things out, if you have smart kids they can do better than you and this will get you happier.

Children are here to surpass us and to get better than us, I will do the same and I will give them vital information that no one ever told me when I was trying to hard to find a way to make money in crypto, because my parents job are so outdated and useless right now, I believe there is more future in the crypto and the technology, technology is the future.

I support EL Salvador in bringing bitcoin education to the university level, but I would completely oppose and find it ridiculous that many people think bitcoin education for children under 10 years old. It's a waste of time and kills a child's future. How can they learn about bitcoin when they don't have any financial knowledge? Parents who support this, I guarantee that they are just investing in bitcoins blindly, they don't know the pros and cons of bitcoin.

Teaching children about Bitcoin and economic concepts is valuable because it promotes financial literacy, introduces them to emerging technologies, encourages entrepreneurial thinking and innovation, helps them understand legal and ethical considerations, and provides a global perspective. It empowers children, sparks curiosity, instills ethical values, and broadens their understanding of finance and the interconnectedness of the world. I am the person that thinks children have to be thought everything they will NEED in their lives: like basic math, some stuff about nature, health, economics, and so on. That's why I chose online tutoring as a side hustle (https://tutorcruncher.com/starting-tutor-business/tutoring-side-hustle/) because it pays pretty good as well as I make a significant contribution to the education of the younger generation.

Starting at an early age does give you an advantage at any platforms. But the ability of holding those knowledge in your head depends on your age or your bairn's capability. At the age of ten? I guess that's a bit too extreme.
But on the other hand, we recognize money from an early age, which is less than 10 years old. If we give the basic knowledge to those children, they might be able to get a hold on to the facts. When it comes to advance knowledge, they can learn them later on. The main focus should be to make them familiar with the concept. After that, their curious mind will do the rest. So from my POV, it is a great idea to have. By doing this, we may see a generation that will accept Bitcoin with their open arms.

Same here, it is better to have a curriculum that teaches Bitcoin so that there will be a standard education on Bitcoin.  This is one great marketing ploy because every student will be informed about Bitcoin, exposed to the economics of Bitcoin and also expose to the pros and cons of Bitcoin.  The only negative impact of the idea is that, when the curriculum created has errors, then all those students who were taught by this curriculum will have a misunderstanding of Bitcoin. 

I have noticed a rapid improvement in the number of families enrolling their kids into tech institutes. In addition to the formal education, many parents are now sending their kids to learn specialised skills like coding, animation,  and others. I feel Blockchain technology should be included in this rank. The beauty of Blockchain technology and the Bitcoin is that it comes with the knowledge of investing, risk management and general financial management. Imagine learning this from a tender age! Children whose parents think in this direction are truly lucky and have no reason to fail.

This is a common idea in poor and developing countries wherein it tries to act at every opportunity unintelligently. This is also happening in my country. So what about people being late to buy those penny stocks that are now worth a lot? We're also going to teach our 10-year-old kids about stocks early then. Founders of social media applications and platforms like Facebook, Youtube, and Google turned its young founders into billionaires. So we're also going to teach our young kids about apps, social media, and programming?

Again, this doesn't make any sense. 10 years old is not even part of the youth, that is still a very very young kid who's supposed to play, and study the basics of education while exploring and discovering its natural gifts and skills.

for me that teaching is just for preparation for their mind and idea because we knew that children nowadays are having their great skills and knowledge in computer and internet in which they are the one who really the target of cryptocurrency.
so I also support that children must be told of crypto specially bitcoin no matter what age are they as long as they are ready to have understanding.

If they are too young, what do you need to prepare for them when they just want to have fun? Tell me when you were a kid, what did you want? You want to play your favorite games, watch your favorite cartoons... don't even want to go to school, so why would you force your child to do those things? Our society has evolved, children are smarter than our generation, but that doesn't mean they need to know about investing too soon. 10 year olds are even learning basic math, so teach them to invest bitcoin, what's the benefit here?

More importantly, do you have kids and have you ever talked to them and asked what they want?

I agree with you. Children are children, and such big responsibility and knowledge bomb should not be given to them at such a young age. We are already taking too much away from these kids, with rising expectations and pressure from the ever so competitive world that we live in. Let us not rush them in this case as well.

Educating children early on the importance of money especially for bitcoin is a good thing but we don't always need to apply and teach children as if they need to know the knowledge.  Everyone was once a child, so they must understand that their brains cannot absorb too much difficult and dense financial knowledge. Although it is true that at this time they absorb knowledge very quickly, but it is only simple images or a few movies that catch their attention. So I will only teach when they want to learn and not try to force them to learn before they reach adulthood.

Dont forget that without usage, knowledge is partly valuable. It is good that we have time to teach and kids show interest in cryptocurrencies. But after they have learned what bitcoin and crypto is, would they use these knowledge? I believe as parents, we wont allow them to spend their funds on investing or let them trade. Then how else would they use what they have learned? Coding? Doubt that. Most of what they have learned, they would forget. So that is why I see no reason to load kids with knowledge they wont be able to use at their age. There are a lot of other things to learn at their age.

teaching children about bitcoin from an early age is a very effective way to create mass adoption in the future, children will surely become adults and when they grow up, they will use bitcoin very actively.  it's not difficult to teach children about bitcoin let alone learn while playing it can be applied to teach children blockchain technology, bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

but the problem is that the government currently in power in many countries is very skeptical about bitcoin, they are very afraid that the sovereignty of their currency will be shifted by bitcoin so bitcoin has not yet been included in the education curriculum.

I think we are in the computer age. Getting to know things right at the earliest stage is a great advantage for then to make it quick in the future. I observed from my environment that people who had started business earlier even when in school tend to make it easier that people who now started struggling with business after graduation in school. Starting earlier is a great opportunity for they as they grow up with the knowledge.

That's why I think it should depend on a specific age. For example, if a teenager or, let's say, a 12-year-old kid has exceptional thinking capabilities, I think they are the ones who are right to educate themselves about complex things like crypto or bitcoin. We know that not all young people are futuristic or ready to think about complex things such as cryptocurrency. Young people should enjoy their youth as long as they are young. Even if we want to teach them about that, it's up to them if they will absorb it or if they will be interested for a long time. Teaching them is a good idea, but we also need to remember that bitcoin or cryptocurrency is not for everyone. Let's not assume every child has the same interest. If I have a child, maybe I will just introduce bitcoin and guide them, but I will not force them to be interested in it. 

Teaching children about crypto is certainly very good because they can understand how it works even though they don't have the time to try it yet because they are still too young to be able to make decisions about investing or trading. However, this will be knowledge for them if the child already has an income and can invest and trade because they already understand how to earn income from crypto. Every child certainly has different desires, some still have the desire to play and there are also those who can be taught about how to earn income from what they do, but we cannot force the child's desires so it is not good for them because they feel forced to do what they do. do.

It's clear that the idea of teaching younger people difficult topics, like bitcoin, has many sides. We cant make broad statements. Extraordinary cognitive skills do not mean that someone is ready or even interested. Now you want to talk to a 12-year-old about Bitcoin and the crypto world? Sure, if they show a desire, you should encourage it. But you're right that not all young minds are ready or even want to get into such complicated topics. Their childhood should be a time to explore, not a time when they have to learn.

It is a good idea to teach kids about Bitcoin's vastness and promise, but the choice is very close. Not just the greeting, but also making them feel like they have to be interested. Why think that all young minds are the same? People are very interested in different aspects of crypto. It is very important to present and guide, but not force. After all, this place isnt for everyone, and its important to understand that.

Bitcoin is a very important topic when teaching children about Bitcoin, the child must listen or learn about Bitcoin seriously, otherwise he will not learn or understand anything about Bitcoin. A nine-ten-year-old kid spends all that time playing sports and laughing, so they'll make fun of something as important as Bitcoin. If we can give 14 -15 year old kids a little idea about Bitcoin, maybe one in two will show interest in Bitcoin and they will be able to work. I don't think Bitcoin should be taught to children.

It's okay if the children will not learn when you teach them about Bitcoin. Learning is a process that they will eventually understand the importance of knowing it.

But don't get them pressured upon learning Bitcoin because it takes time for them to get interested.

You teach them, you're a good teacher and they're a good listener. But if it's about them being interested, it's a different thing because they can fake all of those listenings but not the interest.

Teaching children about finances at an appropriate age is beneficial, but parents should not push their children to learn as soon as possible. This can lead to partial learning and hinder their progress. It is important to educate children on basic finance concepts and inform them of their options when they are ready. Most parents focus on cryptocurrency education solely for financial gain, but allowing children to learn at their own pace is the proper approach.

One of the main factors about learning bitcoin is even about age but interests. Interest is everything that makes it very easy for people to learn about bitcoin. Even if a child is up to age of understanding something if the interest is their nothing meaningful will take place. After children have reached the age which they can learn bitcoin another thing we really need to look into is if they truly have interest to learn bitcoin. What bitcoiners really need to be careful of when introducing bitcoin to their kids is never to force their kids to learn bitcoin because it can end up bad if they start up investing.

Investing on their behalf while they are still young will be the best, exposing them to bitcoins when they are 18 years will be a wise decision. Exposing them too early will have adverse effect on the child emotion, mental health and total well being. Don't give to them what they cannot  bear, there is time for everything.
If you invest on their behalf, is still same when they do it theirself. This will help them gain more knowledge than the pressure of the volatile market.

We should deal with student according to their strength and their strength is attached to their age.

Every parent's top priority is their child, and the majority of the investments that parents make are based on their financial security and comfort for the most part. Eighteen is a good age, and it really depends on the type of children you have. There are tales of children who empty their parents' bank accounts some of them don't care about the consequences at that point, all that matters is the money, not that they will use it for anything tangible. is not still that bad if you teach them, just make sure they should be a teaching account and your main wallet where all the resources are that will be better to avoid stories.

Not all kids are the same,  exposing money to some kids can affect children which will later be a problem . I believe when kids grow up they will go search and discover things like bitcoin. Many of us who know about Bitcoin today we came across it maybe through close friends or by ourselves.  No need to rush to start making kids to know  about Bitcoin.  Bitcoin is well known and getting more recognition every day so I don't think it will be difficult for people to know about it. Teaching kids bitcoin at the wrong time can affect negatively.

Kids discover all the time, not only when they get older. Some of you guys make it sound like introducing children to money, be it fiat or Bitcoin, is some sort of traumatic experience. There's absolutely no harm in showing them new things and explaining how they work. If they're interested, great, they'll learn a new thing early in life. I don't see how could that be hurtful at all. But most of children, especially girls, probably won't be interested at al in such subject, which is also fine, there's no point of forcing that on anyone.

Yes that's right. Of course they are according to their age because they will easily understand it. Because it is important to introduce financial education and investment, especially Bitcoin investment, to children from an early age so that they can control and make wiser decisions in their future lives.

And it is true that what is more important is that we guide them to invest themselves so that they can be responsible.
Currently I am conducting an experiment to guide my 13 year old nephew into investing in bitcoin from an early age (but still at the stage of learning the basics of bitcoin and the usefulness of bitcoin investment for the future). From now on, instill good habits, so that your child doesn't get into trouble in the future.

I think parents' priorities are all the same because they will prioritize their children's needs first, but on the other hand, for investment and financial problems, of course we also have to know the strengths of our children because in the end we must realize that the ability of each child is different so in this case we must be observant in taking action. Including in investment issues.
As long as we as parents know what our child's readiness is like then I think we can already determine what to do.
Making investments from the start and giving them when they are at an adult age is good but it goes back to the initial point about readiness because in this case even if our children are older in terms of age or younger in the end this will not affect if their readiness and perspective does not change so in this case the role of parents is very important to see the potential whether the investment is suitable for them or not.

You're right, I don't understand why some people want to teach bitcoin to kids? If kids learn Bitcoin will they invest In bitcoin at this age? Where will they get the money to invest? Many regret thinking that if I had known about Bitcoin in 2010-12, I think so too but maybe many were too young to invest in Bitcoin. As I myself was very young I didn't have any phone or computer. Not that it is necessary to teach children Bitcoin, at this point young children should focus on education. Bitcoin is good to teach kids, but kids should be taught Bitcoin at a level where they can understand everything. Besides, kids will learn about Bitcoin by themselves because Bitcoin is very popular now and will gain more popularity in future.

By teaching children to understand Bitcoin, it will certainly enable them to face the era of technological development that they will face in the future. If they understand it well, then when they have their own income, of course they will be able to invest with the money they have and this will very good for them because they will use their money for investment purposes that are useful for them in the future. Teaching kindness to children will certainly enable them to choose what is good for them and know what they should avoid and if we don't teach them how to invest, of course if they already have an income they won't understand how to manage their finances.

Indeed, teaching bitcoin to children from the start is very good. But before teaching bitcoin, it is better to teach children about banking first, then explain about blockchain and crypto so that they understand broadly and must also be taught that crypto also has advantages and disadvantages that children need to know.

I definitely agree.

Teach them while they're young, because it's way more better than teaching an adult about Bitcoin. Kids are way more open-minded, and wanted to explore things than an average adult person. It would benefit them as well in the long run, especially these days, where inflation always happen and the price of goods and other products are no joke. It's better if they are going to be financially free in a very young age after years of studying Bitcoin or anything about finance.

Hmm, good strategy.

Introducing them first the banking services for them to have the foundation and what blockchain and Bitcoin can do. That's actually a good start and suggestion by saying that.

Because if you go ahead directly telling kids about Bitcoin without giving them the idea why Bitcoin has been made and what's the inspiration out of it, seems lack of the story.

Children are like clay and will grow up with the education you give them from childhood. If you teach your child good manners and bring him up in a good environment, he will remember his childhood education throughout his life, but if you can't educate your child in good education or if you can't give good education in childhood, then you will never be able to give him good education even when he grows up.  Children don't like to learn or read anything at a young age, they want to grow up on their own during childhood so I don't think there is much need to teach them about Bitcoin in childhood. Gradually introduce small things to your child as he grows up and learns to understand but don't take it as mandatory that he must be taught about Bitcoin.

Yes, their understanding of Bitcoin and banking services will not be complete as they won't fully understand how Bitcoin was built and where it is being compared to. The children need to start from scratch and that's a good way to pass the correct knowledge instead of jumping straight to teaching them about Bitcoin and blockchain. The objective to make the children absorb the knowledge might not turn out as expected.

It's true that interest is the basis for learning more deeply about what we are going to teach. It's difficult to force children nowadays. I think they sometimes already have a goal of what they want to be and what they will become in the future.

There are so many things we can do to help out children to have a better lifestyle in the future. Those that knows the advantage of Bitcoin and what important Bitcoin an be in their children's life will not allow the information and the little time it will take them to educate their children to waste. It we might not have the opportunity to learn and understand the Bitcoin network since the era just began some few years ago, it is good for us to teach children how to trade and invest in Bitcoin.

The need for financial knowledge cannot be overemphasize. Starting early is a good start but make sure you drive the home lesson to the child so the child can understand the necessarily concept of BTC and build a moral background to it also.  Morality make us sane

Good thing about teaching children Bitcoin is that it will be easier for them to learn because children actually learn faster than adult. As soon as they grasp the underlying concept,  they are good to go.

Teaching children about Bitcoin will do a lot of good to them. First, it will open their eyes to the beauty technology in our changing world, of which Bitcoin is and the Blockchain is playing a leading role. Secondly, it will teach them finance in general. Like how to invest,  make their money grow and how to keep building their asset. Last but not the least, it will expose them to digital security which is a vital ingredient of the Blockchain technology.

whatever form of education it is, it is better to teach it from an early age, I agree with bitcoin being taught to children since they are still very small, especially as bitcoin has the potential for its price to continue to rise, in the next 10 years if children are taught it then they will will get good knowledge and also be able to have good literacy about bitcoin, I have started to tell my children about bitcoin, I even taught them to always save money to buy bitcoin, of course in the form of the smallest bitcoin units, there is no harm in teaching children us or our young family about Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a new term came into existence and it is good for children of that age to know about it but you don't force their brain to it but allow them to accumulate the knowledge as you instruct them. For you to teach children about bitcoin you have to teach them fiat currency first and from there you tell that bitcoin is also a currency to buy things online. And at that stage, you can teach them the importance of bitcoin and I don't think that the function are good to teach that at stage.

you can only tell them the importance, advantages and disadvantages of the coin. Be kind to them so that they can be your friends.
