Bitcoin Forum

Teaching children on bitcoin is like the latest threads in the forum. It is good to tell our children about bitcoin in their tender ages but destiny is not something you force someone to achieve. Just like the general saying that "You can take a horse to the river but you cannot force it to drink the water". That's, it is good to tell your children about bitcoin but you cannot force him or her to learn bitcoin if it is not in the mind of the child and if that is not the child's calling in life.

Just like another instant again, it is a Ghanaian Play called "Sons and Daughters by Joe De Graft". The father wanted his daughter to study law while the some for medicine but the boy wanted to study Fine and Applied Arts while the girl wanted to study Theatre Arts but the father refused. There was a day the boy's friend drew Ghanaian President and the picture was bought with a very big amounts of money which was about millions and it was broadcasted on National TV and Radio Stations and the father heard about the news and he called his children and advised them to study what they like.

I think that play is a very big lesson to everyone in the contemporary world. So if your children are not interested to learn bitcoin please don't force them. Everyone has their own destiny.

There's no "destiny" involved (unless you're still treating Bitcoin like some sort of get-rich-quick scheme, in which case, you probably aren't fit to procreate and should avoid reproducing at all).  

It's more to do with highlighting the perils of conventional wisdom.  Teach them the dangers of fiat and endless money-printing.  When traditional finance make their usual indoctrination play that "the safest place for your money is in the bank", make sure they're well informed of the potential pitfalls when banks hold that much influence.  Arm them with the knowledge that debt-based money is a zero-sum game and a certain threshold of people must go bankrupt in order for the system to continue to function.

If anything, children should be taught about economy first in general and how to be economicall responsible and then later as they are growing up mention Bitcoin, why it has been invented and all the benefits of it.

 I wouldn't bother explaining about Bitcoin to anyone below let's say 14-15 because I don't think they would fully understand.

Not a good way to teach Bitcoin for children because they're still very young and they use their life for playing and exploring what they like. Just teach them how to save money, privacy and security, just a basic of life. Then if they're interested in Bitcoin, just teach them about centralization and decentralization, if they're don't like decentralization, they let them pick their choice to rely on a centralization.

They will learn after the centralized site disappointed them e.g. bank bankrupt and they're need to follow a complicated steps to recover their money.

A latest trend and don't teach your children will be a new trend.

I agree that we should never force our children to do anything. We can teach them, give them hints but let them explore the world and grow up. They have their interests and will choose what they like and want to do.

We as parents only have to teach them to stay away from bad things, criminal activities and direct them to good things. But we should not force them to do what we like and we can not succeed if we do so.

I would say expose your children to financial literacy at a tender age. Expose them to the use of computers. Expose them to sports - football, basketball, swimming. Expose them to dancing and singing. Expose them to a lot of them. But teach them about personal finance and financial literacy. Break it down to their own level of understanding. In the same vein tell them about cryptocurrency and bitcoin. There are children's books for it. That way, they will grow up to be well rounded kids. And then, support whatever paths they choose to follow.

We can't really compare it though, it seems that the children has the natural talent to draw things, as compare to let's say a parent opening their kids about bitcoin or with regards to the financials for that matter.

So it's two different things for me, of course, you will let your children control his own faith, you can't just force him to do things that he doesn't want to. As parents we can just guide them to the right direction without interfering.

But as far as bitcoin goes, yeah, you can maybe give an eye opener about it to your children, and who knows, maybe down the line they themselves will give involved on it an for sure you will be a happy parent.

Teaching your own kids about Bitcoin is a personal decision but it is important not to force them to learn the basics of Bitcoin if they are not interested or do not have the inclination to do so. Everyone has the freedom to choose whether or not to be involved with Bitcoin. Moreover, I think it may not be suitable to introduce young children to Bitcoin at a very early age. They should have to enjoy their childhood and engage in age appropriate activities rather than focusing on complex concepts like Bitcoin.

Perhaps, when they reach a certain level of maturity you can start sharing interesting stories about Bitcoin and explore ways to spark their interest. However, if you notice that they show no interest it is best to respect their preferences and allow them to pursue what makes them happy.

As parents, of course, one thing that we definitely want for our children is that they can live happily and get a better life than us. And we as parents can only support and help them to get what is best for them, what they like and what they aspire to in the future.

However, regarding Bitcoin, this is also closely related to the economic and financial world, which of course one day they will need in their lives. And teaching about the basics of economics in life is also very important for their future. but of course we can't force them to like what we like. We can only introduce it without forcing them to choose it. we introduce and let them decide whether they are interested or not.

And actually I'm pretty sure when they get old enough they'll figure this out for themselves about Bitcoin. Because I'm pretty sure that one day there will be a time when even the knowledge of bitcoin will be included in the curriculum.

Children are of various ages. It is foolish to talk about bitcoin small children, because it will not have the desired effect. It’s not for the sake of drawing BTC-logo in the sand (like here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5454816.msg62341207#msg62341207) to talk about it, right. It is better to introduce children to bitcoin closer to a conscious age and better, within the framework of the topic of money, finance, investments. Some conversations may not be enough to interest. It is more productive if you, as a parent, show your bitcoin hobby by personal example, and even better if you create tasks for the child that will need to be solved with the help of btc. The simplest example: give a friend a birthday present with bitcoin (which may indirectly interest btc his friend too). It is possible that your child will not become a bitcoin enthusiast, but will at least be aware of the btc basics and be able to use them. Someday, this knowledge may be useful to him, as the need arises. There is no need to impose btc on anyone, including children, but you simply must familiarize him if you are thinking about his future.

Umm, sometimes I wonder if those posting this threads ars actually doing it or just for creating thread sakes.
I may not have kids yet but I have nieces and nephews whom I don't even discuss anything relating to crypto with considering their age and how volatile and risky this space can be.
I feel when they are of age that discussion will eventually come up but for now they can concentrate on their studies. Anyways, we all have our ways of addressing issues.

Some of them just want to get attention by making up topics as if it's their real life.
But there are some incidents that are real. But most of them are just made-up dramas.

Minors are not yet the time to know anything about Bitcoin or making money. They just need to play.
If they are old enough and understand their environment, then providing knowledge about Bitcoin will be the basic knowledge they will learn.
When they start to know they will remember it.

I must say that parents should not force their children to do a thing that they're not interested in, but if parents allow the children to do the things they like then most of the children would either be watching social media reels day and night or they might be playing the games like Pubg mobile most of the time.

It's the responsibility of the parents to guide their children towards good things, and without proper direction children won't be able to decide that what's good for them and what's not. In case of Bitcoin I must say that the parents should discuss about it with their children and at the same time they would tell them the story of the two Pizzas that were bought for 10000BTC, so that they can develop some interest toward leaning about a currency that was very cheap in 2010 and in 2020 the price was really high that 10000BTC would be a treasure of wealth for someone.

I'm against forcing children to do the things that their parents want them to do, but if you treat your children as your friends then you would discuss such great things with them as a friend discusses things with their friends. If your children are mature enough and they want to learn about Bitcoin then it's a must thing to teach them about it. You'll be very happy when you see your children adopting to a technology that could make their future better and would help them to learn about economics without even studying the discipline.

I don't know why children below have to rush to be taught about bitcoin even though it's clear their abilities won't get there whereas in the sense of bitcoin it's quite complicated especially if the child doesn't like it from an early age then it's better to let him grow bigger and decide what you want.

I'm sure if he is old enough he will know about the environment and also their finances so they will later decide after graduating from school or college it's better to prioritize education first when it comes to teaching about bitcoin then at that age he will definitely understand and have drawn conclusions her about her career.

I think no child will want to learn Bitcoin by nature unless the parents will introduced Bitcoin to them. We all experienced being a child and we only like playing. Those financial things are typically not the children problem because there's always a time for them to learn that.

We are just stealing them their childhood if we will exposed them early on the financial problem of our life. Parents should be the one that will save for their children and just transfer it to the child when they are on the right age.

I read a reply in the forum a long ago. I don't remember who was the author and where I read that. But, I will try to say what was written there. You better teach your kids about Privacy. Teach them the importance of privacy. Understanding how privacy can save someone from the rest of the world is crucial. Why they should care about privacy. The next thing you can do is introduce Bitcoin to them and explain the benefit of using it. Then, let them decide what they should do. I am pretty sure they will think of Bitcoin if they know how privacy can save them.

It really depend on who you are and how you think about bitcoin itself.
There are two things, bitcoin is currency - it is also an investment asset. You have to tell your kids how bitcoin functions as currency - you also need to tell them what the potential of bitcoin as an investment asset is.

It's the same when you tell what is the use of USD around the world as currency and what is the use of gold as an investment asset. So you have to think about something simple instead of thinking too hard about bitcoin. Oh I forgot, you don't need to teach your kids to become an expert on bitcoin - but just teach them to know what bitcoin is for so they don't go out of style when you are old.

Children will only want to focus on play and pleasure, but if they will be exposed earlier about saving and managing their money, maybe it will help them to develop early interest in bitcoin. Of course, parents should never force their children to like and invest with bitcoin, but at least we should educate them on it so that in the near future, if they want to invest in bitcoin, they will have already that idea on how to work on it.

true, something that is too forced will end badly, therefore it is better to provide knowledge to children about what bitcoin is, but the decision to accept or not is entirely up to them, we cannot force them to adopt bitcoin just like us. they have their own thoughts and we cannot impose our will.

but usually these children will quickly understand if they are directed without coercion, usually they will tend to be curious about what their parents are doing, and that can make them understand more about what bitcoin is and the possibility that they will adopt it too will get bigger, because they see firsthand that their parents enjoy the results of adopting bitcoin in their daily lives.

I don't have kids so I don't know exactly what to do about teaching kids about Bitcoin.
In recent days there has been a thread about how he found a group of kids painting the Bitcoin logo as taught by his father.

But I have an argument about what parents should do with their children in managing their future.
Parents need to see where the talent of a child is going during his growth and development.
Children's talents will be seen from daily interactions as long as we are willing to take the time to monitor.

A father teaching and introducing Bitcoin is good, but it's better for a father to accompany what is his expertise. Like the story of friendship played in the movie "3 idiots".

Teaching on the context of making the child or children know the benefits of both fiat and Bitcoin then having them choose the path to follow as they get older is probably the best form... They should have equal knowledge about these forms of currency ... It's only proper that parents with greater knowledge of
 Bitcoin pass it on to their children as I am very sure it's a gift from parents that every child will live to thank his/her parent for ... But none should be coerced into learning any of them whether fiat or Bitcoin

One cannot force anyone to do something because interest play an important role in the success of a person therefore one can teach another person but cannot force him. I think whenever the children become able to earn money and create a mind to do some job then telling him about bitcoin is not a bad idea but try to teach them to use bitcoin only for purchasing and investment purposes.

Teaching your child about bitcoin should not be denied because its one of the most success token and is providing an easy way of earning so instead of going abroad for job investment in Bitcoin will be more worthy.

No doubt I have seen several threads in the forum that talks about educating our kids about bitcoin and I remember creating a similar thread like that which was not a duplication of what has already been discussed though the centre message still pointed out on the benefits of our kids having knowledge of bitcoin which is not so bad but none of the threads talks about forcing any child or our children to have the knowledge of bitcoin as you said and bitcoin investment has nothing to do with the destiny of anyone so I will advise you to edit your post and correct your mistakes.Imo, I see nothing wrong with my kids having bitcoin knowledge hence they aren't taking bitcon investment as a full-time job but any one of them who wishes to do a full time bitcoin investment is welcome because I see nothing bad in doing that.

It's not just about our children; we shouldn't impose the learning of Bitcoin on anyone who isn't interested in it. When discussing Bitcoin with someone, we may discover whether the other person is genuinely interested or not. If we insist on pushing the conversation forward with someone who lacks interest, it would be futile and a waste of time. The same principle applies when talking to our children about Bitcoin – we need to gauge their reactions. Instead of forcing the topic, it's better to gradually educate them and share our success stories related to Bitcoin. This way, they may develop an interest in it over time.

I don't know where country do you reside from, OP but this seems like a toxic family culture here in my country in the Philippines where in the parents would force their children to adopt what they had learn in their lives thinking that their knowledge is still relevant to this day. It's like the boomer mindset in simpler words.  The children would want to be a software developer, but his/her parents would want them to be an engineer even if the son/daughter purely hates it.

To what you just said, I would just tell my children for awareness that there is such thing as Bitcoin and I would just let them know that I would be here to guide them if they became interested to it, not really forcing it.

---

I would still teach them how to handle money in general though like all those budgeting-topics whenever the right time already arrives.

This is true not just for the children but to the elders not adopting the latest technology these days. Unless there's like a good reason in not adopting a certain technology, I don't think it should be problem. If they stick the usual QWERTY phones, that's fine but if they think that they can still use floppy disk to store their documents electronically then I think there's gotta be more KT that should be involved.

A couple of months ago, or maybe more, maybe a year, I was playing some LN games like Bitcoin Bounce and Turbo86 and my daughter also played for quite a while. She knows just the basic of Bitcoin (she's only 11) and everyone already saw those videos where a guy is asking random girls, in the night, if they would prefer 100€ or 1 Bitcoin and they all say 100€, of course. I asked my 11 year old the same and she took less than 2 secons to say that she would prefer 1 Bitcoin because it worths way more than 100€...  :o :o ;D :D

Same here. I am also single or not married yet but in the future, I will tell them about cryptocurrency and I'll let them decide if they wanted to learn or doesn't want to. As what the title said, this is what I want to do when I have children of my own and I will let them decide on which one they want and it's either they are going to learn or do nothing.

I don't even recommend children to learn about bitcoin, the best thing they should do is just to focus on their education, it won't be easy for them to learn about bitcoin and also learn about their academics in school, education is also investment, so let them focus on their education, when it's time to learn about bitcoin, they will definitely learn about it, but don't disturb your children because you want them to learn about bitcoin.

Definitely some are really and some are just creating the threads just to get the attention, but am sure even the once that are created for just attention, other members of the forum will definitely learn from it. I know their are some people that will be forcing their children to learn about bitcoin, but if they can see people's opinion here, they will be able to learn.

Ever heard the old advice "Effort and prayer is the way that can knock on the door of destiny in the sky". So there's nothing wrong with people trying to teach something to their children, as long as they know what needs to be taught for their children's provisions in adulthood. Yes, it's true, like some of the sources you quoted, that children shouldn't be forced to follow us because everything will flow by itself, but the role of parents is important to direct them both regarding financial capabilities and other matters, so that they look more ready to live their life later.

Maybe it's just the way of approach that we need to know, for example the approach we take must be appropriate to the age of the child and also provide an understanding that bitcoin can bring someone to the stage of financial freedom if done correctly. A father's instinct must know what is best for his child, therefore it is important to teach children how to be responsible, focus on activities they like and know what to do so that their finances are much better in living their lives later as adults. Of course the method doesn't have to be coercion to follow what we want, but provide space for him to like what we want to teach him.

The main thing is that children do not need to be forced to do anything. Doesn't matter are we talking about bitcoin or swimming lessons. But we should to teach them financial literacy, economical responsibility and how people earn money.
Children should develop harmoniously in all areas. We must teach them to play sports, study well, introduce them to IT and computers in general. Perhaps singing, musical instruments or dancing. If the child grows up smart, he will be able to make the right choice for him. Will their life be connected with bitcoin and cryptocurrency is secondary.

Childhood is for enjoyment so let your children be the children they are instead of forcing them to adopt something that is higher than their capacity for now, I don't see any advantage in teaching kids about Bitcoin, unless for those that pick natural interest in it along the line, and the education should be limited to teaching the about safety and security of Bitcoin and the internet in general.

When talking about destiny I think this is going too far because when we talk about it destiny is likened to being a standard thing but when talking about learning this includes what can be changed regardless of anything.
Teaching children about bitcoin will actually be quite good, but it will come back to the condition where are they really interested or not in something like this because I really think this should start with interest first.
Basically, all children have a high curiosity about something new, so there's nothing wrong with doing something like that, but on the other hand, we also have to be aware that not all children have the same interest, even with their parents.
It would be great if they are really interested in bitcoin, whatever when they choose another path, nothing has changed because at least we have told them about bitcoin beforehand and we have to support the child's decision because they have their own way of life, do they ultimately like bitcoin the same as people parents or not we still have to have conditions where we have to provide the best facilities for children in their final decision.

Don't force anybody to learn BTC, not only children but you can explain to them some of the things they will experience from their lives and their business when they activate this BTC in their life. Teaching your children about BTC is not bad because, anything can happen than will make your children to have access to your BTC in future when you are no longer alive but never you force them to learn BTC, so that they will not blame you for their failure in future. If your children grow up and see some of the good things you have achieved through BTC, I believe they will surely look for way to acquire the knowledge of BTC so that they will be great too in the future.

I think that is the wrong word here, "force", we are already in the century wherein children and parents relationship are not that 'tight' anymore. What I mean is that the children know their freedom already. Although I believed that there are still society who is close knit today, but we all know that are children like to think for themselves already, which career path they want etc. Bitcoin is not that bad to be teach to them, but we all know that we can't just give them all that information and then suddenly we will find them studying it. Let them pursuit their own, whether they will involved themselves on bitcoin or crypto or not, it's not up to us.

It is left for the individual to know if it will be fine if s/he to teach their children bitcoin and the age of the child matters a lot too. Teaching them on how to save money will be better more of,you can introduce bitcoin to them but not on how to buy and store, when the right time come for them to know then you can teach only the one that is willing to learn.

Just the way you can't force bitcoin on adult to accept or to listen to likewise the children too because if you are forcing them,it will be a waste of time. Though,it is cool to teach them earlier but do you think that this is the right thing they feel they want at that moment.

If I have bitcoin piled up for my child's future, it's a must that I'll teach him about bitcoin and same is expected of any parent that stores bitcoin for their kids. I don't see any essence of teaching a child about bitcoin if he won't grow up to use bitcoin, nobody knows his area of interest. But, when a child grows up and hear that he owns some amount of money stored in bitcoin he will definitely get interested in bitcoin. That's why its important to train such a child in the ways of bitcoin, so that when he grows he'll know when to hodl and sell the bitcoin.

^Definitely right and I completely agree with you.
Let them enjoy their childhood and let financial matters lesson will come when they are ready.
Play can indeed be a powerful lesson for everyone, regardless of age. While it is important to expose children to various educational opportunities, it is equally vital to respect their individual interests and passions. BTC has a wild thought and continues evolving concepts, that may not appeal to every child, and that is perfectly okay. Each person has their own unique path and destiny in life, and it is quite not good to nurture their natural curiosity and talents. By allowing children to explore their own passions, we empower them to pursue fulfilling future interests and strengths and let them enjoy themselves, and don't force to teach them any financial matters.

I agree that we shouldn't let our child get involved in Bitcoin for the reason that they are too young to understand the Bitcoin economics.  Besides kids should be more focuson their study, learning the basics of education so that they have a strong foundation to learn advance knowledge.

Knowing Bitcoin will not make these kids any smarter, besides they don't have the capability to produce money to invest in Bitcoin.  They also shouldn't thrift the money that is given to them for their snacks and food just to have savings and buy Bitcoin from it.  It will have a negative impact in their health because it may cause hunger and lack of nutrition.

As far as I know, Bitcoin is not for kids.  It is right to teach kids about financial intelligence but it shouldn't be the reason to push them to learn about Bitcoin because this kids lives will go on even without knowing what BTC is.

I have seen a topic similar to this most times which are interesting but I think this is contrary to what I expect to see here on this board. Maybe you have to tell us what you mean "Don't Force Your Children to Learn Bitcoin." This is off for me because I see no reason why you have to bring this question onboard. Do you have a child that you have been worried about trying to teach them to learn about Bitcoin and they are adamant? If yes, it is important to know why the child decided not to learn maybe the way it is brought to him is never interesting. No, you have to look for the best way to explain what Bitcoin entails.

You have introduce the world of crypto to them in a slow manner.
So they won't be overwhelm of what they will hear or read about this market.
They are still young to understand some concepts, and so you need to be careful in giving them those information.
If you are into crypto, would be good to start giving them the basics, that is, if they show interest on this market.
Otherwise, don't force them to learn about crypto and blockchain. They have their own time in learning these things.

I don't see any need to teach kids about Bitcoin, because a lot of time will pass until this knowledge will become useful to them, and by that time they will likely forget it. Also, what are even the practical aspects of promoting Bitcoin to young people? To convince them to put the first money that they earned in their life into a Bitcoin investment? Starting your investment with a high risk option is not a good idea. Promoting Bitcoin as a medium of exhange? If it is popular, they will figure it out on their own, if it's not, they you  are just trying to create new Bitcoin users through indoctrination.

Though they are entitled to know and learn about crypto or about Bitcoin but yes, it should be done at the perfect time and in the right age. Because it was hard to teach kids who still have young minds and are incapable enough. In fact, it was difficult to convince mature people who already have the capability to carry such responsibility, how much more for the kids who's in their mind is all about playing and in school focused on their studies. It is better to let them choose what they wanted rather than forcing them as it was not the right thing to do as parents.

It's not like you can force your kids to like something that they don't in the first place. But it pays to teach them at an early age of what bitcoin is and how it works. Young kids' brains are pliable and are sponges for information and knowledges, which is why it's best to teach children valuable life skills and know-abouts as early as you can. And it's not as if it's detrimental to teach kids about bitcoin in the first place lmao. What's the worst they can do? Buy high sell low?

Nothing about teaching bitcoin to children is forced at all. You either teach your kids about it, they absorb and learn it, or you don't teach them anything and have them figure out bitcoin later down the line.

You have your point too. It’s really useless to teach them while they’re young and easily forget those since they are not totally exposed in the real market. But maybe when they’re already in their right age, teaching them might be reasonable. If they like and appreciate bitcoin and want to learn more, then good for them but if they don’t have the interest in bitcoin, then we can’t do nothing about it. It’s just that our children have different passion too so we just have to support them all the way.

of course. although we love Bitcoin so much and we want to have continuity people in our family to learn and understand about Bitcoin. Don't force our childten tonlearn if they don' wan lt or they are not ready yet for learning Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not oy an asset, but this is also something very risky

tesching kids to lesrn about Bitcoin is exactly very hard, this is a deep subject to learn Moreover if they are still not ready yet, this may be more dangeruous for them, because emotionally they may not be ready with all risks and also their emotion. They may think that Bitcoin can make them rich soon in their mind. While the reality is different. in this caelse, it is better not to force them to learn about crypto whatever the matter. Except that if they are ready and they have been adult enough to be aware learning Bitcoin by themselves.

You don't need to force your children into Bitcoin, but at least give it a try. At same time, your children don't need to be interested in Bitcoin to make you able to invest in BTC for them, as a father, mother or tutor. If you are a Bitcoin enthusiast create a wallet for your children and manage it for them until they reach the adulthood, so they can decide what to do with the money.

Again, it will be a personal decision to be made by them once the time comes. The important here is that you will be giving them a decent choice many children unfortunatelly don't have... What your children will do with the opportunity you give them it's up to themselves. You did your part as parent and that is what matters.

Everything around us is changing, including the global financial system, and we are progressively entering a fully digital future. It wouldn't be a bad idea to explain to the kids where the global economy is going and how individuals are learning to put their assets in bitcoin in order to protect them in the future. However, there should be a minimum age before we introduce children to bitcoin and the global financial system. Should I say, starting at age 15?

By providing them with a foundational understanding of what the new digital era we are in is like and what it will be like in the future, educating children about bitcoin at that young age will aid in the development of their future financial wealth decisions.

you are right we should not force our children to learn about bitcoin then dive into crypto currency world. But at least,  if we do not try to give them some learning step by step we do not know wether they interest or not. if we start to try to engage them to be close with bitcoin,  it gives the chance to spark their interest in bitcoin.

Do people regard bitcoin investment as a whole way of life on which they may rely to shape their lives? If this is the case, the goal of bitcoin has been compromised. Bitcoin is an alternative method of holding money, which is why it was created. You can tell your children about bitcoin and how autonomous and decentralized it is, as well as how much privacy and money ownership it provides.

When you compare this to some kind of destiny stuff, you're completely reliant on it as your entire source of income for the rest of your life.
It's fine to tell your children about bitcoin but not to force them to use it; if it's compared to fate, it'll appear as if you're using that as a persuasive advantage to entice them to use it, which is wrong.

we really can't force anyone to know or learn Bitcoin. even if it is our parents or children. providing basic Bitcoin knowledge like they can save their little money on Bitcoin and they can take it in the future is enough for kids. no need to explain investing or anything related to Bitcoin that is too complicated. it can reduce the interest of children to learn or know more.
introduce it and let the children learn it by themselves in the future. if they are interested, they will come and ask us someday.

If the children do not reach maturity and the appropriate age so that they can understand Bitcoin and its modern technology, then it will be complicated for your children to understand what you are saying as if you are telling them about the logarithm, so no one should force his children to teach them something that does not suit their age, abilities, and hobbies. Without a doubt, children will be able to understand Bitcoin at some later time in the future to learn Bitcoin and listen to you after their mental and cognitive abilities increase, and I am almost sure that after your children grow in age and learn from you about Bitcoin and its benefits in changing the financial economy and its profitable investments, they will be interested in buying and acquiring books that help them learn about Bitcoin and its basics and knowing all its aspects that they don't know.

Thats Right, it is best to let them make their choices, we as parents only need to direct them or just introduce what Bitcoin is without burdening them.
If they are adults and understand then they will choose what they think is suitable for their lives.

As in the title of this thread, Don't Force Children to Learn Bitcoin, because that will only make them stay away from Bitcoin.

The Mental Cognitive Ability will be perfect when they grow up or have entered adolescence so it is a very good age to know about anything like Bitcoin Knowledge. Especially if they learn how to invest in crypto. There will be a lot of knowledge that they get.

And this rule does not apply to BTC learning only, because we should not force our or other children to do anything against their will. It's their right (i am not talking about moral ones, because sometimes we have to force them to make them follow moral way instead of immorality). I do agree with your point, as children's mind is pure of evils and hunger for money and other items of the world all they want is chocolate, a smartphone, games, YT, etc. They do not need to be forced to learn about BTC in an early age when they are so little to understand their rights.

We could teach them about BTC's existence but what good it will bring, let's say a KID "X" is young enough to understand the money, the world, and how things work. And X is in need of money and a trader "Y" taught him about trading, any other activity related to BTC. The first hurdle for the kid is going to get the capital to invest or trade in BTC. This would encourage him to follow the immoral path which will not be right for him. Our main focus should be to teach them what is good and what is not. Even in the world of digital finance.

In academics and religious sciences there is also an explanation that parents have the right to provide clothing, food, boards and education, but what parents cannot provide is their ambition for their children. Because it has taken away the rights of children. Especially if the age of the child doesn't quite understand when we talk about bitcoin and manage their finances. Wait until they are adults and ready to be invited to discuss bitcoin or investing.

Parents' choices are good, sure to make their children the best of the best. However, sometimes these choices are not accompanied by thoughts or are concerned with personal rights compared to the wishes of their children, who currently still like to draw.

Children also need to choose their way of life, including what their choices will be in the future. However, sometimes parents are too worried about their child's choices that are not in line with the parents' wishes and this is very natural, but back to the point above, give him time to understand.

The most important thing now, support children and provide opportunities for them to choose their own future path and their parents to support children's choices and tell them if they feel lacking.

Cryptocurrency, or bitcoin is not the only path to rich, success, there are many others. People investing in bitcoin and crypto to get rich are people with no direction, no other way to get rich, and they clinging to crypto, but they treat it like a god to help them solve every problem in this world. I also invest in bitcoin and seek wealth, but if given the opportunity, I will let my children discover all in this world because there is so much good out there. Teaching kids bitcoin is pointless and there is no guarantee they will have a better life.

Well, bitcoin is not destiny but only a currency. In order to earn money, the children will first get an education and later chose a profession to earn money through services or business. Do not think that by knowing about Bitcoin, it can make you earn. It is the skills that will help in earning. Later you may convert that earnings in bitcoin, or invest in bitcoin or earn directly in bitcoin, that's a separate thing.

As far as the learning is concerned, you can teach children about Bitcoin, help them make a wallet, and send them some satoshis in their wallet. This will increase their interest in knowing more about Bitcoin and how to use them.

Whether it is bitcoin or whatever, everything need to be taught at the right age. Nowadays this have changed alot. In the past the parents might've agonised to have some sort of education, for some reason they weren't able to achieve it. Later the parents try to make it happen through their kids. This was the trend of 80's and now things have got better and kids learn what they want. The education system needs to be good, so that they'll learn about everything happening around the world. Rather than concentrating on which is the right time to give education on specific things, it is good to make the curriculum to suit well to the changing scenario.

You were just making sense from the title to when you started the body of the post. But you went off track when you started mentioning destiny and studying law in your instances.
Bitcoin is not a course of study. Incase you have forgotten, bitcoin is a currency whose price fluctuates and some people makes money through bitcoin because of the price fluctuations.

It is absolutely fine to teach your child about bitcoin if the investment aspect of it is not involved. But since one can lose money in Bitcoin, it will be fine to teach a child the investment aspect of it when they are able to earn and spend their own money.

I do not agree that Mental Cognitive Ability that you have said is perfect when a person entering adolescence Because at this phase, their brain is still growing, this is triggered from the lobus frontalis and limbic system. Entering the adolescence phase their the lobus frontalis and limbic system still do not maximum at performance. But those performance is better than the children so teach them bitcoin when they are teen-age is good enough. 

Your example is flawed as bitcoin is not a career or a profession, the basics of the economic system, how money was created and how it evolved can be taught in a single day, not teaching to your kids about it will be a disservice to them, now this does not mean that you have to force them to use bitcoin, but it is important to teach them the basics of how the world of money works so they can avoid the pitfalls in which billions of people have fallen on the past.

If you don't teach properly, other's will impose their ways and thoughts in a thousand different manners and those probably won't be positive or good hearted, I don't see why anyone wouldn't teach their kids how crypto works.

as good parents, of course we don't force our children to learn about bitcoin, because everyone's thinking is of course different.

but I don't think parents are wrong if they have an interest in teaching their children to learn about bitcoin as long as it's in a good way and there's no coercion.

so basically introducing btc to children is very necessary because we as parents want to see their children grow to be successful people, and by teaching children to invest in btc
means we provide a good opportunity for the future of children.
but in this case, of course it's up to the child whether to accept btc or not and we as parents just tell it.

it is true what you said that we should not force our children to invest in btc because everyone has different desires and opinions.

I completely agree with what you said. There is nothing wrong with teaching bitcoin to children and even encouraging, because the benefits that bitcoin brings to us are undeniable. But we need to teach them intelligently, I mean, introduce bitcoin only when they are old enough and aware enough about life, about finance. Teaching bitcoin to 5-year-olds and 3-year-olds is a real waste of time and overwhelming for them. It will even backfire on them if we force them too much.

My parents wanted me to become a lawyer, it's the same dream every parents want for their children in my country, it's either a doctor or a lawyer lol, and as I grow up, I slowly leave that path behind, and they are not happy about it.

I got my eye on my father's business, a farmer, and I started following him to his farm lands and help him cultivate the lands, he tried to push me away from the farming business but I was so stubborn.

It got to a point that he wanted to disown me for wanting to be like him, later a friend of his told him how lucky my father was, for having a son that want to follow his footsteps, my fathers friend use his children as an example, he said that all his children don't want to take over his family business, and they have all traveled abroad.

My father later let me, and he gave me some parts of his lands, it was later that I knew about Bitcoin and I started buying Bitcoin years ago, I was already making enough money before I knew Bitcoin but I plan to retire soon with Bitcoin and crypto, I hope my dream comes to life before 2026.

There is no point forcing your children to take over from where you left off, if Bitcoin is all you are going to do with your life, your children might have their own ways, and those ways might be better for them than Bitcoin.

I constantly tell myself that I will not compel my children in the future to do what I want, especially if they are over the age of 12. Most of them have desires in their lives. It feels different when you can do what you want rather than being compelled to.
Consider this: How could you trust a nurse to care for your child's injury if he despises being a nurse?
I understand that it is sensible to teach our children about Bitcoin nowadays because it is one of the best ways to gain money in the future such as investing, trading, payments and many more. However, forcing people to do something they don't want is not a good idea.

Everyone's hobbies are of course different, as well as in the business world, of course everyone has their own way of doing business, some of them become farmers, some like to trade and so on, but all of them also have one goal, namely to make a profit.

we as btc investors, of course, many invest because we want to get profits and also enjoy the hobby of working as btc investors.

so in this case it is clear that we should not force someone or our own children to follow our will so let the child himself make the choice. so we as parents don't force our children to learn btc unless he wants to learn and is interested in btc.

Parents play a crucial role in guiding their children's education and development, but it is important not to force them into specific areas of interest, such as learning about Bitcoin or any other specific topic. While it's valuable to expose children to different subjects and encourage curiosity, forcing them into a specific field may lead to disinterest or resistance. Instead, it is beneficial to foster a well-rounded education that allows children to explore their own passions and interests naturally. By providing a supportive and inclusive environment, parents can help their children develop a love for learning and empower them to make their own choices when it comes to educational pursuits.

Totally agree with you that no one can be forced to adopt a field. Every person is free to choose which field he wants to go in the future and he should be encouraged in whatever field he is interested in.I have often seen people guide their children in their studies by looking at their hobbies and interests.

If someone wants to become a doctor, don't try to force him to become an engineer. I have also seen people who prioritize their interests and hobbies more than the interests and hobbies of children.

Educating children about Bitcoin is good, but don't force them if they aren't interested. Children can be encouraged but not forced into Bitcoin. I think all parents should be aware that their children should always be encouraged to make their own decisions. All parents should always make decisions based on the interests of their children.

I think the op has a good point, but not just about Bitcoin. Forcing children to learn anything is generally a way to form hate toward the subject and towards the parents. My parents didn't care about by marks as school and never forced me to do any homework or study hard at school; I graduated from school and from university with honours, top of my class in both cases.
Children should be given the opportunities to learn new things and get a good knowledge of how the world works (which includes the basics of economics, and with that - Bitcoin), should be encouraged to learn. But forcing is wrong, and Bitcoin isn't something that one must know and love to have a good life anyway.

I think for now we need to convey an understanding of finances first, because I also understand that they are still in the learning stage as you conveyed and when the time comes and they are old enough I don't think it's a problem. we introduce that BTC is a digital currency that will one day be used and mass adopted in the future.

Maybe you could teach them the basics so they could have a background when Bitcoin was mentioned to them. If people might impose their ways then just simply tell them that "your dad is doing crypto you could ask me about it" because for sure they would be curious as others are teaching them something they don't know. Thing about forcing them to learn is that they couldn't even absorbed yet those complicated knowledge which is not suitable for their age. This industry always involve risk and wise decision making or analysis so it would be a headache for them and might causes pressure for them. Let them have fun for their age, once they grow up enough to learn this then you could teach them.

Wrong, I have to teach my children about Bitcoin, the decision to pursue Bitcoin and crypto is left for them after I teach them, I do believe that Blockchain technology will last longer than anything that's been innovated since decades, they will benefit a lot from crypto, if I can make a lot from crypto why can't they? What I will never do is trying to force them on Bitcoin, but not letting your children know about crypto is not cool, that's my own belief.

we still don't know how the future of blockchain will be in future, but if it's ever going to be useful in the future, it will be more useful for the coming generations, and that includes our children, I am in full support for everyone to make sure they lecture their children about the blockchain and Bitcoin.

     Yes I agree with your sentiments about the subject issue. Although, children’s are very sensitive and their interests and hobbies are different. But along with partial synthesis and traditional studies, efforts should be made to attract them to other hobbies as well. They should also understand what is good and bad. In order to improve their abilities and expand their mental capacity, it is important to teach them different types of skill. Force and coercion do not lead to improvement in any case, rather it leads to deterioration. Just try to give them awareness about the cryptos that how they work and to use. If this thing excites them, and they want to participate with a better understanding of it, then they should  do once they reach the legal age.

I agree that forcing someone including children to study something does not lead to the desired result. It seems to me that it should be more about how to ignite an interest in children. And this can be done only when they see that parents or teachers themselves are excited about what they teach, what they talk about. Children are hooked by another person's keen interest in some phenomenon, they admire such a concernment and take an example from those people whose eyes glisten when they talk about their passions. That is why, if there is a desire to teach a child something, you need to want to develop yourself and be passionate about the subject of study.

It's not a bad idea to teach our kids about bitcoin, but it depends on your economy, as I believe ours is worse than yours. If you believe this is the best way to get them interested in bitcoin, we can do that. If we do teach our kids about bitcoin, if they understand what we're talking about, they'll agree, and it won't stop them from pursuing their own careers. because they are all aware of their parents' intentions and continue to work toward their future.

Parents have the responsibility of observing their children to identify their areas of interest. Your child might be naturally attracted to financial matters and investment which makes it easy to teach him about Bitcoin. But some children has zero or little interest in money matters, such child should not be forced to learn about financial matters because it will be difficult to teach them. I also think that the best time to introduce Bitcoin to children should be between the ages of 12 and above. At least they would have developed mentally to understand the sector.        

Due to the outbreak of Covid-19, there has been an increased need for medical personnel worldwide. Most parents in my country are forcing their children to take medical courses even if they don't have any interest to be doctors, nurses, or other health practitioners. My little nephew wants to be a teacher but the mother is insisting that she would be a nurse. Your child must not be a Bitcoiner to succeed in life. He must not be like you, so let him choose his path because that is where his fulfillment and satisfaction are.    

I think it is good to teach your children about financial management at a very tender age. Teach them how to save money and not spend every time on everything. They should learn to save money. And this should not be limited to fiat alone, you can also introduce to them BTC and educate them about it, and if possible, invest for them. You don't need to necessarily force them to learning anything, approach matters alot when teaching children.

For me, it's good to let your children be familiar with Bitcoin and crypto especially if as a parent, you're into it. Just let them be aware of its existence while they're young and teach them important knowledge about finances (that they can easily understand at their age). But yeah, don't force them to learn technical terms or a deeper knowledge about Bitcoin cause it'll be hard for them to understand at a young age. Allow them to explore on their own. When they grow older, they might be the one coming to you and would ask questions about Bitcoin. You can't force someone to be interested on something.

I get what you're trying to say mate, while you are correct about that but let's think about their situation and phase yet. Isn't it too early to teach them about cryptocurrency? Teaching them at an early age is not totally wrong but I don't think that the idea will penetrate into their heads just like that as talking about crypto and stuff will sound gibberish to them, no doubt. Also, there is a correct time for that but as of now, let them be children and do what most children do because sooner or later, they will also start to figure things on their own.

Its good ideas teaching our children for understanding about Bitcoin when getting good opportunity, but as parent I don't force my children have learn about Bitcoin and I give them freedom which one their basic to earn money as trough Bitcoin investment or they have other investment way except Bitcoin.  But for children is not really good ideas when teaching them with Bitcoin because they have study and focus on their school. After pass on the school I think is the moment give our children option for learning Bitcoin or they have another skill to earn money trough other investment without push them have to know with Bitcoin.

I agree with you, forcing someone to do be interesting in a subject is rarely going to work. The only thing that is going to happen is that people will resent it and might even hate for the rest of their life. Trying to force kids to enjoy something always reminds me of my parents trying to make me eat spinach, which I hate to this day. There are other ways to make something interesting instead of using force. The best way to get someone interested in a subject is to make it funny and entertaining. The second best way is to use monetary rewards to spur interest. Let's say we play games with our kids and if they win we would give them money, but instead of using fiat money we could use crypto currencies. Once a certain amount of money is accumulated it should make our kids interest by itself. They would need to learn about wallets and how to transfer and use crypto coins to access the money.

I guess we reside in the same region, huh. I am not sure if it just the Asian culture that does that. Considering how it is common for Asian to be almost look like perfect to their relatives and parents especially in academics, it seemingly becomes like a cultural related issue.

I wanted to hear on what was your father's reaction when you started to buy Bitcoin though. I don't mean to dig in, Z390 but considering that you were already making enough money as you mentioned, would he be surprised or proud of you?

You can still teach your children how to use Bitcoin. Just give them an idea like an ELI5 then just let them decide by their own if they wanted to adopt Bitcoin into one of their knowledge. You can still guide them slowly, but let them learn by their own pacing. No force, just continuous guidance.

Well, I will not force my future children to learn Bitcoin, but if I will need to use my force to teach them about investing, I will do it because I don't want my future children grow up not knowing about investing at all.

Children from birth up to 7 years old are the years where a child is very vulnerable. I mean all of the things that he sees, and learns at that age will be the one that will be on his my mind as he grows up. If he's surroundings is a surrounding full of bad people, there's a chance that he will be a bad people when he grows up. I'm thinking of teaching my child at least how to save money at that age. He's too young to learn investing at that time, but saving is my first step towards it.

I agree that we don't need to use force to teach them Bitcoin because it's not mandatory for a person especially to a child to learn it. I mean we can still live without it right? I don't know if it's a good thing, but I think at age 10 above, we can teach our children about investing already, but only the basics of it. Just an eye-opener I guess, and if he's a teenager already, we can teach them different types of investments including Bitcoin, the risks of it, the pros and cons etc. etc. One thing's for sure for me though, I will not force my children to learn Bitcoin, but if I need to use force to teach them about investing, I will do it.

I agree with you op on the subject matter because in this 21st century our kids are supposed to make choices of what they want to do or become in life, But in other hands, teaching children things about Bitcoin as a guidian (father or mother) is also not gonna stop the kids from becoming whatever thing they have desire to become in life because no knowledge has ever been a waste, so it duely the responsibility of parents to guide their children while making career decisions because the parents has more experience than the kids but not make choices for our kids.

I wouldn't think that complicated about bitcoin when I wanted to teach kids. Bitcoin is a currency that they should be familiar with in their digital life, I mean several online services currently accept bitcoin as a means of payment and this will continue to evolve over time. You need to tell them as simply as possible about bitcoin and one of them is to tell them that bitcoin is a good currency as an alternative to fiat.

Currently, the world is completely digital that even 3-5 year olds know enough about how to operate their smartphones, so giving them some insight into bitcoin may be feasible but only after they seem ready to know about this currency. The mindset must be adapted to the times, ready or not they will be required to know its development.

I don't see anything wrong in teaching our children about Bitcoin or blockchain technology. If we enlighten them about how cryptocurrency works, it doesn't mean that we will be forcing them to focus on it in the future. It is still their personal decision whether to pursue it or not in the future. Of course, we all want what's best for our children but educating them about the digital currency is still a good move yet we should still allow them to enjoy their freedom of choice with proper guidance. If we see that our children don't have an interest on it, it is enough that we are teaching them about its importance but it is not necessary that we'll hinder them from the things that they like doing just so they could focus on cryptocurrency just like we do.
It is hard to force our children to choose their passion. As long as we have done our part in properly educating them about crypto, we should allow them to decide on what they want to do in the future. We are just here to guide them but necessarily decide for the path that they want to take.

I am not against it or with it totally. Bitcoin learning is complex and not meant for everyone. And yes, people should have a free will to choose whatever they want to do in their life. But when you are unaware of it, it does not become a choice. So you will never think of doing it! Not to force your children to learn about bitcoin, but to present them with the knowledge. That way they can learn about it. Just because you know about something does not mean it becomes an absolute choice to do it. If you are curious about it, you will try to learn more about it. Then, if you think it's a good enough choice for you, you will make it an option.
I am against those people who are forcing their child to do it. Make it an option so that they can choose it on their own. Not everything is for everyone. So I want to say that, it's not wrong to teach your kids about Bitcoin. But it's wrong to force them to do it and leaving them with no option other than this. And in life, we learn from trial and errors. If something doesn't work out as we imagine it, we move to something else. So it's important to have multiple choices.

We can teach kids about bitcoin but let them choose what they will do once they grow up. If they still want to learn more about bitcoin and use it like we do, then great for them because they can try to make money for a living. But if they are not interested and prefer other things, we cannot impose our will on them. They also desire to grow and be recognized as we already have. So maybe it's better to direct them towards things that can make money so they can choose that when the brand matures. It's better to teach many things that can give results than telling them to follow what we do because everyone has their own desires.

You shouldn't force your children to learn about bitcoin but you can force them to learn about all the nonsense stuff school teaches. Why ?
The school doesn't teach us about economy, financial planning, how to grow wealth etc... which are all major things we need to learn right from our childhood.
I can agree with your point upto some extent that nothing should be force upon children but yet I would say we should atleast make them learn the basics about finance, economy, crypto etc... so that they are aware of it.
If they become more interested then they can start digging up more.

You have actually brought up some good points. In fact, we humans tend to avoid things that are necessary and skip over things that are unnecessary. Today's children are the future of the next generation, they will take the lead of the next generation . So I think it is best to introduce them from the beginning to all the technologies they will encounter later. As currently they are sent to school to teach about Social Science, Economy etc., I think it is important to introduce them to Bitcoin as well. But when it comes to learning, nothing can be forced on anyone, so I would refrain from forcing anyone to do anything, not just Bitcoin.

Making it look like children don't have a choice of their own because you're the parent, is a no no for me. At least you make it look plain for children to either choose to or not to engage in Bitcoin trading or whatever. One thing have come to understand about children is that, if they don't put their 100% on things that's being forced on them the result you get would be displeasing, they might do it because you're their but ones you're not with them they'll choose what suit them. No matter how small a child is, he/she has the right to choose which path to follow in life.

Parents sometimes have children who are not at all like them in temperament. If you are a geek and a cryptomaniac, then your children will most likely inherit your temperament and interests, but not necessarily. Sometimes children may love physical work, for example, being a mechanic or a cook. And such children will not be interested in bitcoin. And this is normal! After all, we are all different. And forcibly explaining the advantages of cryptocurrencies is stupid. in general, I am for the fact that cryptocurrencies need to be taught only to children who are drawn to it themselves.
Especially those who are looking for information on this themselves.

I always support whatever my children dream for their future, I never force them to follow my dream. I'm very aware that we have no right to determine their future, it is their own right. But I have the responsibility to let them know about Bitcoin, who knows if they are interested in Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin is something good, I think it deserves to know by everyone, including our children. Whether they are interested or not, it is up to them. At the end of the day, our children will determine their future themselves. We, as parents, only give guidance to the things that we think are good and they are likely to be interested in. So, telling/sharing them about Bitcoin doesn't always mean forcing them. It depends on the way we do it!!

I personally never like or support the idea of parents teaching children about Bitcoin when the child may have something else he/she has enthusiasm but if the kid is someone who has an interest in technology we may let the kid have a teen computing course since every business in the world have something to do with the computer.

As a parent you are required to give them guidance. It is okay to share some ideas which may catch their interest and it is for them to decide whether to pursue something particular or go the other way around. Misconception starts from the age of a child. Some would say starting it on early age would be aan advantage but actually it is not. Early childhood age limits a kid, basically. We cannot expect an 8 yr/old to be excited with esrning money if they are hooked into playing (well, some kid does). Let things undergo thru natural progress. Also, if it is jist investment, it would be better to give them less risky option than to push this industry just because of that thing called potential (every asset has potential).

Teaching your children about Bitcoin isn't forcing your children to learn about bitcoin. You're trying to teach them about financial education and that's something every parent should do for their children so they have an advantage when they become older. Investing in Bitcoin will help those child have a secured future so we have to try to make our children pick interest in Bitcoin from a very early age.

Investing in Bitcoin shoudn't be a dream, instead it should be a necessity because it helps bring in money. Allow your children to chase their dream but they have to invest so that it will help them in the future and investing in Bitcoin is the easiest since it's very easy to monitor.

Even without Bitcoin parents can still teach their children about financial education.  I agree that having to learn financial management will give an advantage to the kids and might make them thrifty and saves money because they have learned the essence of savings.


Investment in Bitcoin doesn't all the time bring money.  If everyone is profiting in Bitcoin then Bitcoin is breaking the law of equilibrium.  Remember in this kind of law, when someone is gaining, the other one is losing;.  Thus getting profit in Bitcoin trading means someone is losing in the trade.

For this you need to start with the financial education and further move on to bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. People are not ready to understand the reality. Children needs to be provided with their space to explore. Only then what is good within them and he can be directed to follow his passion. As said financial education is necessary to make his investment and future better. However it have got time. when he's fond of playing with toys if you teach about bitcoin, he may think bitcoin is a toy.

Even if you are investing in bitcoin yourself and you have no guarantee about your future, what are you going to do to secure the future for your children when they invest in bitcoin? I want to know have you become rich by investing in bitcoin?

There is nothing wrong with teaching kids bitcoin, but it should be an option rather than the only option, there are many ways to get rich. Don't forget billionaires today they are rich in many ways, and they don't need bitcoins.

I didn't say investing in Bitcoin should be the only hope, Bitcoin is a very volatile coin. I don't have to give other options of investing as it has nothing to do with this thread. The thread is about not forcing your children to learn about Bitcoin but learning about Bitcoin should be very important because it's the new face of how money should be transacted and we're very optimistic it'll be the way to send and receive money in the future.

As a parent, you have to prepare your children for the future. Teach them about Bitcoin and other assets too. Bitcoin is one of the easiest way to invest and very easy to understand but that doesn't mean you should stop at just teaching them about Bitcoin, teach about others.

I think there should be no force. But we still need to teach our children what bitcoin is, because no one gonna teach them about it in school or uni.

And because bitcoin is the future, learning about it early will give your kids a big advantage in the future.

I think one of the good ways to teach kids what bitcoin is, is to give them some. When you gift your kid some BTC, he will see it "growing up" with him and getting more expensive. It will be a great lesson for the kid.

It is ok that you are involved in Bitcoin but thinking that you are involved in Bitcoin should teach your children about Bitcoin from a young age is wrong. You must take care that your children's childhood is not spoiled by your pressure. We should provide opportunities for children to grow up independently from childhood. And as they gradually grow up, you as parents must take the necessary steps to educate them in good education. Let your child choose the profession he chooses when he is well educated.
If a child is pressured to learn about Bitcoin at a young age, it will have a negative impact on their healthy upbringing.

Easiest does not mean most reliable. Until now, bitcoin has brought very good profits, but no one can now guarantee that it will continue to repeat its cycles in the future. But if you look at real estate, you will see that it has been one of the most reliable investment destinations for many decades or more. Yes, there is less profit, there is no such insane growth, but it is a stable investment, with much lower risks.

We should still introduce bitcoin to our children, but it should be age-appropriate and not forced. Forcing them will not only destroy their beautiful childhood but also make them obsessed and fear bitcoin more than love it. I ran into this situation with my son when I tried to force him to eat food I thought was good for him. He was forced to eat them out of fear of me, but growing up, he hated them and never ate them again. And I know it was my mistake to force him when he was a kid. It creates a sense of obsession rather than they will adapt to them.

I am feeling helpless now. I got more than 70 mentions since this thread was created, and I did not write a single post in this thread (Or did I write?). I never knew Choosing such a username could turn into a pain in the ass. I use a notification bot, and each time people use the word "Learn Bitcoin," I get a notification in my telegram. I know I cannot blame anyone for using these words, and it's my fault. I thought my username was a message to others to learn about Bitcoin. But I didn't know it could be a nightmare for me. I had to mute notifications while I slept due to notification sounds. Not only this thread, but I also got mentions from other threads. But this is the most-mentioned thread so far.

The good term to use is giving an idea to children what bitcoins are all about because one day they will hear it somewhere else and might want to ask for more legit information this time they know where they gonna go because you talk about it once with them. I'm sure if the parents are good to their children and have been working hard to raise them the right way, they will earn some respect from them and want only to listen to them in anything they say. Once they are curious about it and wanted to learn more, you already know what to do and where to send them because it's nice to have a guide rather than exploring it on your own.

I too have been seeing such unlikeable threads being created all over the board recently. Why would anyone want to push propaganda towards children? Its not like they have money to invest into Bitcoin with. The ones who should be learning about Bitcoin are the young adults and obviously, the parents. The children will learn about it sooner or later, but just as I said in the other thread, I think the best thing the parents can do is buy some BTC for their children, so when they grow up they will have something to work with. And judging by how the Bitcoin adoption has been going, I would say the children will have a small fortune...

If I remember correctly, the topics that teach bitcoin to children have had a lot of support and welcome, and they ignore the factor of how old the child is and whether it is suitable to learn bitcoin or not. But in this thread, I don't see those people anymore, why don't they come in here and say that teaching bitcoin to 5 and 7 year olds is the right thing to do? Too many parents are teaching their children the wrong way blindly.

I have a different perception on kids learning bitcoin as opposed to validating this with sayings such as "You can take a horse to the river but you cannot force it to drink the water" Well if education is said to be part of one's basic human right's,  don't you think learning about money is included in this??? Besides for countries that have made bitcoin legal tender, this definitely implies Kids learning about it to to make ease of use super easy...Unless crypto is not recognized in one's country then Kids can be exempted from learning these technologies but don't deprive them this opportunity when the best teacher being you is around!!

Certain things need to be taught like using a computer as these are skills you will need when you are of age for you day to day activities and this should not be seen as a burden to the kids!

When it comes to teaching children about Bitcoin:

1. Consider their age and understanding.
2. Start with basic financial skills before introducing complex concepts.
3. If they show genuine interest, provide age-appropriate resources.
4. Teach them about risks and responsible behavior.
5. Emphasize diversification and long-term thinking.

Overall, make sure the education is gradual, tailored to their age, and encourages their curiosity.

No, I think there is a chance for them to learn about bitcoin or cryptocurrency as a whole at an early age even without us teaching them personally because we cannot just compare our time to theirs as they are now living in a much modern time. That said, I think there will be some subjects that will be added soon in about let's say a few couple of years or some existing subjects that will have some subtopics about cryptocurrency especially in middle school.

But it is never a bad idea in the first place to teach them even before the school can create a program for that. In an early age, we should just introduce it to them at first so that they will not be overwhelmed and as the months or years go by, we can explore much deeply about it.

Of course not, but you have to pick and choose how you teach it. Grow up, they don't have to be experts on bitcoins and altcoin, but they just need to gain some understanding of what these cryptocurrencies are used for.

Informing, teaching and recommending bitcoin to children is not forced, it is natural to prepare them to know how to take advantage of opportunities with it. Coercion is meant if they are forced to use it and the parents don't give their child a choice about something else.

We should teach children basic financial concepts and skills before introducing more advanced topics like Bitcoin. Teaching them the concepts of money, savings, budgeting, and responsible financial decision-making is fundamental when diving into finance. Understanding the fundamentals of economics and finance can help children develop life skills and apply them to any future investment.

Also, when it comes to introducing complex topics like Bitcoin, it is generally advisable to wait until the child has reached the appropriate level of maturity and understanding. The ages of 14–15 may be a good time to start discussing more advanced concepts, as teenagers generally have a better grasp of abstract ideas and are able to engage in complex discussions.

Yes. Parents are only here to guide their children especially in building their own careers, and not the one who should be controlling on what path they should take in life. That way, we are molding them to be more independent and become responsible wherever life may take them. However, if we can also take some time to teach them about bitcoin, I think it’s a good idea so they will be aware on how to manage their funds but not forcing them to love bitcoin and prioritize it over their own wants in life.

That is the main function as a parent because children are also not robots that we have to manage and let them do whatever they want in their lives.
But on the other hand, the introduction of bitcoin if the parents are in this scope is important as for the future of the child whether interested or not it depends on the child himself, the most important thing is that we have introduced and taught what bitcoin is.
One thing, for sure in this case I can still distinguish which is about coercion to children to like bitcoin and which is called introduction and learning. Children basically always want to try new things and it's not wrong to introduce this to children, just don't cross the line too much in this case, especially when the child is uncomfortable with it.

because it will be difficult for parents to teach something that requires a more complex understanding like Bitcoin. because for a small child of course all they know about money is fiat which they can shop with. teaching to save and invest will also be quite difficult for a child at a certain age.
if we want to make a Bitcoin savings or investment for our child's future, that's not a problem but explain and give it when the child really understands and is ready to manage his own finances.

Generally I agree with it. Maybe I even wouldn't teaching to my children bitcoin, but I think not bad idea to hold 1 BTC (I wish I had so much) for 1 baby and gift it when he/she grow to 18 years old.
I spied this idea from one crypto blogger from UA and he have 2 little children. Hope, in the future I will see what happened next with that 1 BTC (14 years left to see that).
Maybe this idea will also seem interesting to someone and he will also do the same. But keep in mind the risks for such a long period of time, but I really hope that nothing bad will happen to bitcoin

Whenever we do talk about future savings for out child then it would really be requiring that extreme will and self discipline for you not able to sell up those coins when you do see that it is really making huge profits or really that something in talks about in having in need. We do know that we cant really be able to tell on what the future holds and on the time that you would be making up some money then for sure you would
really be considering on snipping those bitcoin savings that you would be having and would really be that converting those actively.

Well its not really that a bad consideration on having this kind of plan. When speaking or teaching out our child about Bitcoin then everything should really be in the right time on which it would really be just that right that you should really be seeing whether if its the right time or not basing on your childs age. Explaining it to them when they are still young would really be useless yet they cant
really be able to absorbed on what  you had explained into them.

I believe parents know best for their children but if parents have crossed their lines to the extent of forcing their children to do this, to do that, then that is not reasonable anymore. Although bitcoin can give security and can brighten their future, but if the children do not want to engage with bitcoin because simply they have their own reasons too, then we cannot do anything about that but just learn to support whatever their goals in life. When they become mature, I guess they’ll be responsible too for their own lives.

Every thing has a certain age limit. It would not be good at all for children to like Bitcoin and should not be forced to invest. A child can never have real knowledge about Bitcoin.There are very few people in today's world who do not know about Bitcoin.  So in future even children will know about Bitcoin when they grow up. We can now give them a basic idea of ​​Bitcoin but never force them to acquire it. I think it would be really dangerous for children.

The age doesn't matter, the child should be able to choose what he/she wants to learn, remember that they're individuals that will grow and will have an increased capacity in thinking as they grow older, a lot of people in this forum that's professing that we should teach our kids about bitcoin and investment without considering how the children will feel about the subject matter, I am not a parent yet but I think that we should never think of our children as our clones, why force them on something just because they show a bit of interest and we know that that interest will be gone the next moment, we focus too much on making bitcoin a staple in creating a family that we forgot the essential which is spending time with your children doing meaningful things.

parents knows about the children very well but parents will decide to do is and cant do this  to force the children and cross the limits , the cant be safe here after and they future can be bright due to bitcoin and also they a own reason so cant do any thing and also in future life increase the goals and in old age they can be own responsible for his life . 

I think children gradually grow up with the education they are taught when they are young. If a child is taught various knowledge concepts about Bitcoin from a young age, he will grow up to acquire special skills about Bitcoin. However, there are many parents who discuss this topic from a young age to introduce their children to cryptocurrency. And as those children grow up, they become more interested in investing. I think it's best not to teach children about Bitcoin at a young age, because it's more important for them to focus on their studies at this time. Children need a minimum age if they want to learn about Bitcoin. and they will be related to education as well as cryptocurrency so if they can continue then they will do well in future. and never force a child to learn about Bitcoin as they will become addicted to investing from a young age which will harm their future education.

Regarding Bitcoin for children, I think at this time it is not appropriate for us to teach, because they have to learn other things that are currently set in the government curriculum, if they have mastered it then a little bit about Bitcoin maybe we can explain so that they know that Bitcoin is one of the assets of the future, but this is only a glimpse so that they do not feel foreign to Bitcoin later, And there should be no element of coercion because this will be a burden for them, so there is a level and time for us to teach them about the crypto world especially Bitcoin.

In teaching children to master something that is beneficial to them is our obligation as parents, but we must live according to their growth period, and for the world of bitcoin I think it is still inappropriate because there are other things they must master and teach, but if they ask about bitcoin maybe a little explanation we have to give because bitcoin is indeed something they should know later, So never do we force them to learn about Bitcoin.

Children are of different ages. a child will not understand or want to understand if something is said or given to him about Bitcoin after his mental development. Because children always like to gain knowledge through their toys.  So if you want to teach a child about Bitcoin, you need to give him some Bitcoin related toys that will create an idea about Bitcoin and he will remember it so that he can use this idea in the future if its use ever comes up.  So forcing a child with information about Bitcoin will not, or cannot, do any good.

As a parent or a guardian it's not only you responsibility to provide food, shelter, clothing and basic education for your wards but also to help them find their purpose or calling early in life. So exposing a kid at tender age to bitcoin education is not entirely a bad idea but if the child it not interested then you don't have to force it down his or her throat.

I've a little nephew that has an affinity for tech. I always encourage him and I also advice the parents to do same. I've some kiddo bitcoin videos I got from YouTube that I tend showing him when next I visit and I hope he can make the best of it.

Yes, if the child is not interested in the speech it is better not to force him but why do you think that only those who are interested in technology can understand Bitcoin?  I don't think that's exactly the case, because there's also a financial side, a social one, one that could be related to ecology.  I believe that if you find the right interpretation, you can gradually introduce Bitcoin to all ages, obviously you have to do it while having fun.

You have a point. We should still educate them about bitcoin so that if they wish to engage in bitcoin in the future, at least they have prior knowledge on it compared to completely unaware about bitcoin and how it can be beneficial for all of us. After all, the interest and passion of people may change from time to time. If today they won’t be fanatic on it, but once they will realize how valuable it is, then surely there will be a change of heart in the future. So teaching them today could give them them good preparation on managing their finances in the future.

The world is changing and things are upgrade, like wise the way technology are taken over, as a father in the house, as long you're children has reached a age of operating phone or laptop, as well is good to introduce them about Bitcoin how it works and make used of it, by convert to the local currency, because Bitcoin is a digital currency, and is good for a father to introduce Bitcoin to the children, which is a very Big previlage to have a father that is into cryptocurrency business and is very proud to introduce Bitcoin to children.

True. Forcing your children will not help them at all. But even so, it’s a good thing that they gained knowledge and information about bitcoin because we all know that it could give them a brighter future. However, don’t expect that everything you teach about them will be completely absorbed. They might be facing struggles in life and continue not to love bitcoin, but the good thing is they will also learn from all their mistakes and sacrifices, until they’ll come to realize that it’s time for them to take advantage on every bitcoin opportunity that comes.

I mean you don't really define what being a "child" means to you.  What ages are we talking about here? Yeah I'm probably not going to try and be teaching my 3 year old about how bitcoin works, but once my child got older, and was at the age to be able to learn and understand how money and basic finances work, I would see no problem forcing your kids to learn.  Hell most of school across our lives is forced learning, might as well teach something that you can actually use in the real world.

Yes, i agree with you. Childhood times is the seed time of life. No one should waste their valuable time to learn about bitcoin. If a children know about bitcoin in the early age, its can damage his future and  dream. Also if a children know about bitcoin , he/she can invest their, which has addicted himself/herself for more invest..Its also waste of time and not only kill their future but also kill their dream too. Its harmful for a children career and  effect go through a family and a nation.
So parents shouln't force and encourage thier children to learn about bitcoin. This time they need concentrate to their studies and bright their future.

I know you are very worried about forcing parents' thoughts on their children regarding early education about Bitcoin. I also don't like it when I see children being exploited by their parents' principles to the point where they feel uncomfortable. Of course we can't force it if our children don't want or are not interested in Bitcoin at all.
however, how to educate children is the prerogative and responsibility of their parents. Every parent must have their own way of educating their child.
In my opinion, the right age to introduce them to Bitcoin is when they are teenagers, but again, every parent has their own expectations and knows better how to educate their children, right?.  for risk issues in terms of educating children there will always be and that is the responsibility of their respective parents.

Children should not be forced to choose a life goal by their parents, and Bitcoin is just one of those investment opportunities in the world today, we don't know what tomorrow will bring.

If they have no interest, then don't force them, let them follow their own path. As parents, we can easily believe that we know what is best for our children, but most of the time we are wrong.

There are some kids who are blessed with different talents, and their parents need to support them while they demonstrate their skills to the world.

Do not kill your children's dreams because you believe you know what's best for them.

Introducing children to the changing global financial landscape and the concept of Bitcoin can really be valuable, as it helps them understand the evolving digital economy. Determining the appropriate age to introduce such topics can vary depending on a child's maturity, ability to understand complex concepts, and prior knowledge of finance. While 15 years old can be considered a good starting point for introducing children to Bitcoin, it is important to evaluate each child individually. Some children may be ready to grasp concepts earlier, while others may need more time. It is essential to consider their level of interest, cognitive ability, and willingness to handle financial and investment discussions.

I believe parents who teach their kids about bitcoin are already aware of the capabilities of the digital currency. Furthermore, since kids in the 21st century are generally intelligent and capable of handling any mental task, It's not a bad idea, in my opinion, for parents to teach their children about bitcoin. The youngsters should be aware of how to utilize bitcoin because we are in the future and looking at nations that are accepting it.


The problem of choosing a course for a child is a common one, and it's very different from the problem of learning bitcoin, they can also learn stuffs like blockchain and many more. The problem is that, for me personally, I don't buy the idea of forcing a child to study a course it's a free world, and Everyone has the freedom to pursue any course of study. And finally, if I ever have children, and they reach a certain age, I'll show them that bitcoin can be entertaining in some way.

it is undeniable that the development of many people's knowledge of bitcoin is very fast and continues to roll because all of this is also due to technological advances that never subside with the progress of social media. Indeed, introducing children to bitcoin at this time will be easier with these technological advances, but it must also be interspersed with their liking for games so that they can be inserted. It must be remembered that there are those who are able to immediately absorb what is informed, but there are also those who find it difficult and not a few who may not want to know about it, so the role of parents to be able to explain is imperative so that they want to understand the importance of knowledge about this as early as possible. agree that if possible, it has already been determined when a child can be given information, by seeing and feeling whether they can really understand it, because each child's character will be different from one another and don't get used to putting pressure on because it is certain that they will have antipathy with what we want to go for. In principle, introducing earlier would be more beneficial than delaying until the time to be determined, because delay is not the best thing

Global financial and the Bitcoin concept aren't proper topics for Children. Children only learn simple things, those topics are too complicated for them. I think we only tell them something general about Bitcoin if we really want to share the information with them. Maybe we can show them the picture or tell them that Bitcoin is one of the digital currencies. For further information, we can tell them after they are mature enough, sure it should be above 15 years old. We must adjust the topic to share with them, don't force sharing too complicated information.

Note that the age of children is around 1-12 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_development

Learning will not takes place once the children do not show interest to learn. So even if we keep teaching them about bitcoin and how it will be an asset in our future, once the children have no passion about bitcoin, then all our efforts will come into waste. However, always know that children are still having brain development so there will always be a change of heart and mind once they reach a mature age. And maybe by that time they will come to understand the real value of bitcoin and would want to eagerly learn bitcoin by then. So if we can teach them at a young age so they can gain prior learning and overview about it, then maybe it could also help them in the future.

There's always that perfect time on teaching things into your children on which it would really be just that right that you shouldn't really make them force to learn up something which its not really that something that they could be able to learnt up right away or something that they could easily absorbed on. We know that there are really children which is really that having that advanced thinking or easily understands on thing but
in general, lets just make them enjoy first their childhood and doesnt really make them get stressed just because you've been explaining to them on whats bitcoin or crypto is all about. Its not really that on the right age
if they are young, but its true that the earlier the better but as a parent then you wouldnt really be that so dumb on not to see on when is the right time on doing so. We could eventually tell if its
the right time on telling it to them because if you do explain to them too early then it would be useless because they would really be just simply be forgetting it and dont really mind about on what you do say.
Unlike when they are on the right age then it would really be that easy to understand on what they do talk about.

Having knowledge about Bitcoin at an early age is a very good idea, so it is a good idea if parents decide to teach their children about Bitcoin at an early age. But I don't think any parents will force their children to learn about Bitcoin because Bitcoin is not a professional course we study but it is a digital currency.even if children are forced to learn about Bitcoin at an early age, it is not something bad once it will not disturb their academics. In some cases, parents need to force their children to learn something they think will be a great benefit for them in the future.

Their Process learning about bitcoin may require more time and patience.  At least, as the parents, our effort to bring up the intention and interest to our children toward bitcoin is a importance key. We can combine between very basic knowledge of bitcoin and games that related with bitcoin.  from the game, they can know the bitcoin with fun.

In the process of learning new things in school some of these children learn new things by themselves from their colleagues just like if someone mentioned Bitcoin as a means of payment or an investment assets in their class those who are really interested in knowing more about Bitcoin will develop the interest naturally without forcing it on them while those who are not interested wouldn't bothered to know or learn about it, with the issue of forcefully teaching children about Bitcoin personally it amount to waste of effort and time because those children will pick interest in it when it's time to do so having seen how often we do things related to Bitcoin like payment transactions via our mobile phones and PC invariably they will pick interest in it.

I never force my children to know, and know BTC from an early age, I'm sure one day they will find out for themselves because they always open the internet and one day they will come to me to ask what BTC is

I will let them play with their children's world , without interrupting things that they don't deserve to do and think because my child is still 9 years old

At least just make them aware. Parenting is indeed hard since you still have to let them decide for themselves instead of being that usual toxic parent wherein they force their ways and traditions to their offsprings, just like I mentioned previously in this thread which is commonly an Asian culture. In Western Culture, children tend to separate away from their parents after 18, correct me if I am wrong though.

You can still tell them about BTC, but don't force them if they don't want to adopt that kind of knowledge yet or if they aren't ready to learn such decentralized stuffs since usually the opposite is being taught at school

Forget about age for a moment and we all agree that teaching bitcoin is the right step for preparing children when they grow up. Normally parents will know when teaching children in the world of finance by age and they are able to take responsibility for their decisions. Slightly forcing children to be better prepared in dealing with the financial system in the modernization era is important because people don't really have to work hard to make money, because the realm of technology has made it easier for anyone to seek financial gain.

If a single bitcoin can bring them wealth and can set up a business where many people can work, then why are we so worried, reluctant and skeptical to introduce bitcoin to kids. Ah never mind, people will also say we are not right and always want to win alone and force the children bla...bla...bla

Life is full of theory that is learned in formal schools and this will not educate children directly to practice it. I agree when children are taught anything related to bitcoin and of course when they are able to recognize money to go shopping with friends or girlfriends. But it seems people are worrying too much about bitcoin learning for kids, why? because they think the child will find a way by himself, even though if the parents are unable to direct it, it will not educate them to reach a more precise direction.

True.. Our children will not suffer as much as we did to learn about Bitcoin. Because the internet was not so readily available then. When I started learning about Bitcoin, my country didn't even have a proper 3G network. And now that the Internet has revolutionized so much in my country, I am sure that my children will learn about Bitcoin by themselves.So there is no need to force someone to learn about interesting things like Bitcoin, once they start knowing they will be attracted to it.

For me, it's okay to tell the children about Bitcoin in terms of what is Bitcoin and what to do with Bitcoin, that's the limit. If you tell them about how to earn Bitcoin and other advanced stuff about Bitcoin, then it's not the time yet for them to learn about that. I've seen about the deconstruct of teaching between children and elder, the description is really great and those teacher doesn't tell them anything more than what they are capable to learn for those children. I'd personally against teaching kids about Bitcoin in terms of trading and stuff, but for the definition and what to use is okay I guess.

True. Forcing people to like something backfires a lot in my experience. For example, should the daughter of a great singer also needs to be a singer? Maybe she wants to be an engineer... Maybe she will just hate singing... That shit always happens.  Just because we are so much into crypto don't mean our kids will like crypto too. Everybody in this life creates his/her own luck. No matter how much you tell people that they should invest in this, you should invest in that, they will never listen to you. They will do whatever they have in their minds.

That's the case many at times as, forced learning is always one born out of the lack of enthusiasm. Learning is easier when someone gets go build interest in the course or subject he or she is being introduced to.
Gor adults, it comes easy om how to introduce the concept of bitcoin or cryptocurrencies to them but for kids, financial education becomes boring or uninteresting except when incentives follow up and its done using a very practical approach.

For the case of bitcoin education, its not an easy course to teach to children but then, an investment in there name with various wallets and a check on progress while showing it to them would build there interest in the currency.

When teaching children about Bitcoin, it is important to provide a balanced perspective and emphasize its potential benefits and risks. Forcing children to use Bitcoin or treating it as their only destiny would be misleading and inappropriate. Instead, the goal should be to educate children about technology, its potential applications, and the broader financial context in which it exists. This allows them to develop a holistic understanding and make informed decisions when they are ready. Promoting an open and unbiased approach, where children can explore different options and make their own choices, is key. It is important to respect their autonomy and personal interests rather than using persuasion tactics to convince them to use Bitcoin.

That is how it is in life. Destiny differs. So telling someone why he or she doesn't like to do is always a problem and end up with bad results. Children are very good in learning through listening at the tender age but even at that they have things to do in their mind. If you want to know ask them and they will tell you what they want to be in future probably they have seen such profession in someone close to them in the family. And if you allow them to do what is in their mind they do well in future.

We don't need to force children on cryptocurrency but we only need to enlighten them if they have interest. And here are a few things to consider regarding teaching children about bitcoin:

1. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are becoming increasingly relevant in the global economy. Exposing children to financial technology and digital assets at a young age could give them an advantageous understanding as they grow up.

2. Teaching children how to manage and invest in assets responsibly from a young age could help develop important life skills and financial literacy. Kids who learn about savings, investing and wealth creation early on tend to make better financial decisions as adults.

3. If done properly and with parental supervision, learning about bitcoin can be a fun and engaging experience for children. They are often naturally curious about new technologies.

4. Parents should ultimately decide at what age and to what extent their children learn about bitcoin, based on their maturity level and interests. Forcing children to learn when they are not ready is likely to be counterproductive.

5. As with any financial topic, parents should teach children about the risks involved with bitcoin as well as the potential opportunities. Kids need a balanced understanding.

6. Responsible use of bitcoin for children means starting with small amounts and under parents' supervision and control of any funds or accounts. Kids should not have unrestricted access that could lead to losses.

So in summary, while forcing children to learn bitcoin is not a good approach, exposing them appropriately based on their maturity level and interests could have benefits. As with anything, moderation and common sense should guide parents' decisions.

The most important thing is that parents educate themselves sufficiently on bitcoin first, so they can teach their children responsibly. But don't feel pressure to force the topic if it's not a good fit for your family right now.

As long that they wont really get pressured on which this is the primary issue on why there are children who do end up on switching courses and careers or interest just because of their parents choice
but ending up on not being happy or contented because this isnt something that they do really wanted in the first place.This is why its never been that suggestable on forcing up your child on what
are the things that they would want to do because its true that they do have different skill sets and interest in life but explaining out those basic things then it wont be bad.

Simple explanations would might do but not something that you would be forcing them to deal with.We know that one they do have feel out on being forced then for sure they would just keeping on
getting far away from it and this is something that we dont really like to happen. This is why you should really be that mindful in regarding your plans on explaining it to them at younger age.
Yes, they could easily absorbed up things but always basing up into the minds if they do able to understand.

Agree. Never force them to learn something that they are not interested in them. Let the children explore their minds and it is their right to determine which things they want to learn. However, if we know they choose something bad, we must guide them to stay away from it. It is our responsibility to guide our children the right way or to something good in this life. Regarding Bitcoin, if our children aren't interested yet in Bitcoin, don't force them to learn Bitcoin. We just need to tell them what Bitcoin in general is, or we only show them the picture. I think this step is enough to let them know about Bitcoin only without forcing them to learn it.

Sure. Children always grow both physically and mentally, their mindset may also change as they grow older. When they are getting older, they know more and experience many things. It is possible that one day they realize that Bitcoin is interesting to them. When they show their interest, we can start to give them the lesson. But if they don't show interest, don't force them to learn.

In teaching children if it is an out-of-school knowledge, we should assess the interest of the kid we wanted to teach Bitcoin about.  If the kid shows interest then we can start telling them the basic.  we don't need to go deeper in tackling Bitcoin because it will be too much for the kid.  If needed we should represent the explanation in the simplest way so that they can understand the concept clearly.  We should also observe if they keep their interest, and if in case they have lost interest in learning Bitcoin then we must stop since it will only bring difficulties for the kids if we push the subject of learning Bitcoin to them.

Maybe it depends on the parent who has a deep understanding of Bitcoin and how to make his child aware of Bitcoin. For example, I have a son turning 7 years old this year, at this age, I can familiarize him with using Bitcoin as a payment and encashing it into our fiat that I don't need to explain to him. I will only show familiarization, then when he reaches 8-10 years old, I will make him aware of how to use Bitcoin but the trading factor is not here yet.

I will do this to my son without affecting his growth as a child. Of course, he can enjoy being a child while I make him aware of the usage of Bitcoin in our life without force.

So basically you teaching your son with practice, it will better if you teach teory of bitcoin like transfer knowledge too. But some people will teach their son by theory about bitcoin including i as parent it will make our son interested with bitcoin. I will tell my son Bitcoin is the best asset for saving our money compared gold and fiat money and tell them for use ledger to save bitcoin from hacker so they will aware how to manage their asset with safe.

I've told it every time that Bitcoin is a complicated thing for children and to be honest for sure they don't really care about it sure they just know that saving is a good thing and that is what you're teaching them it is probably more accurate probably if they are already a teenager it's the right age to teach them what is bitcoin, But even children could wonder what really bitcoin is which is a good thing it will encourage them to get involved on the cryptocurrency space soon when they grow up since they might wonder what this bitcoin is. Learning when you're a child could be a good thing in the future because they have great practices and investing or saving can be a normal thing to them.

We see the bitcoin cartoon get popular if children would watched those clips they might have no idea what is bitcoin but it's a good start to condition them in the future, to invest, save etc.

for children, I think the introduction to bitcoin is enough to teach, considering that we have to introduce it gradually. it is not certain that they will be interested in being in this business, even if they are not interested, at least they will get to know bitcoin later. after all, everyone has their own talents, so they will also determine their own path, so as parents we must be able to direct according to the will of the child. for the introduction of bitcoin, I think it needs to be done early

This is what I will do with my son. As a bitcoin investor, introducing and teaching our children bitcoin is something anyone would do. But many parents make the mistake of teaching their children too early and forcing them to learn even though they don't like it. It's something I've always protested on this forum, many parents are teaching their kids bitcoin forcibly, which is sure to do them more harm than good. I will also teach my kids when they are old enough to know about bitcoin, but if they don't like it and choose something else, I won't force them and let them be comfortable with their choice.

I am definitely against forcing someone to do something, however I believe, that learning cryptocurrency and bitcoin in particular is potentially interesting for everyone, because it is connected to one's finances and this topic is in the interest of any person. If it is accessible and exciting explained to a child how bitcoin can help him in everyday life, how it will help him find and obtain what he dreams of, then there will undoubtedly be interest in studying it.

Agree with that, I mean we don't know if they actually learning what Bitcoin is but the fact that we are introducing Bitcoin to them is giving them a good introduction that hopefully one day they will wonder what is Bitcoin is and start to get curious about it, then they will start to find out what really is Bitcoin and probably might start investing on their own right.

I mean it could be more effective when you teach them when they are already teenagers, If they are exposed to it they will they will think from the beginning that Bitcoin is a part of how they live. Like I've said the Bitcoin cartoon thing is a good option since they are exposed to this kind of technology or things, Its really great since it's like teaching your children to save money like saving a small amount in a piggy bank.

Investing and saving are two different concepts. Saving money has no risk of loss, while investing is win-lose. There is no guarantee that investing in bitcoin will always win, this is a misconception that we need to avoid when educating our children about bitcoin. If you have decided to teach your child bitcoin as an investment, then you need to talk more about the risks it can bring than just focusing on the profits.

You can't force your children to learn bitcoin or to learn any other things what I believe in bitcoin is that who ever that have interest on bitcoin is the person that will understand bitcoin very well, so therefore children you can lead and direct them what will benefit them in future if you know it's a bitcoin that fetch food on their table as parents you have 75% authority over them by teaching the road that will better their life, you child should not give you a condition on what he and she will do, you know more than child and its your duty as father and mother to shoe them a root that will better their life

Much really better if they are the one who can disciver this since we would know if they are really interested with this and to make sure that they could last long with the challenges they can possibly face.

If we force them to learn this maybe they will hate its existence and might they will just totally ignore what you say about bitcoin to them. Bitcoin now is slowly reaching in the mainstream and for sure when they grow up they can learn about this plus they know that we are using it so provably all will take good place at the right time.

Are we talking about learning Bitcoin or is it about how to earn Bitcoins?

Yes, we can tell our children about Bitcoin and how it works. Since Bitcoin is a digital currency, children can easily understand it when we compare it with fiat money. However, I don't think we should focus on teaching kids how to earn Bitcoin at this stage of their age. Kids should only be focusing on schooling and playing and should not take the stress of earning.

You are correct that many engineers and doctors are unhappy with their careers because they are forced to study certain subjects. The same is true of learning about bitcoin. If you are a parent who is interested in bitcoin, you should keep using it rather than forcing your kids to learn about it because you believe that bitcoin is beneficial and that it allows you to create things without the help of the government.
Despite the fact that many people today profit from bitcoin investments to the point where even government employees do not have half of what he does, when we talk about the future, we are not going to live our children's lives, and if we damage their reputation, we do not deserve the title of parent. In my opinion, we should not force our children to learn things they do not find interesting.

But very few parents understand that and what they are doing is the opposite. I mean, they're teaching their kids what they think is best and not thinking about whether their kids like them. Many parents impose their thoughts on their children, and they think it is the best thing they do for them.

I am also a parent, but I strongly oppose many parents teaching bitcoin to their children because some are too young, and some are not interested in bitcoin. But many parents force their children to do as they please, but this will make them hate bitcoin more than they like it.

I have come to agreements with everything you penned down, but then, with how this generation of human beings are in so much debt, financially Indiscipline, financial illiterates, poor planners and lots more, parents need to teach kids about bitcoin,  because it'll be the guide and hope for the future.

Let's relate to the large debts by the United States 🇺🇸 of America,  the third world countries too and how their political leaders abuse and steal all of the money in the government for their selves and families,  don't you think that teaching bitcoin or with bitcoin will serve as a tool to stop the mess generated by this generation for other generations to come?

I do know  say children should be forced but they need to be thought nevertheless about how transparent, volatile and how it helps to aid those utilising it from inflation, also how it gives liberty and freedom to those users and give them so much privacy away from the banks.

A child mind may not grasp the notion of gains and losses until they fully comprehend the inner workings of money. Saving is a valuable lesson that empowers children to diversify their thoughts for the sake of the future. Delaying immediate gratification for future enjoyment is a fundamental concept in saving.

If you were to explain the essence of investment, profits, and losses to a child who is not yet of age, they would cry and perhaps even get angry. Saving serves as the initial step, while investment represents another avenue that the child can explore if they feel comfortable with saving.

But if they are too young, then I think it is still not a good idea as they will not digest it, but it still depends on the parents. Right now there is a cartoon that is about bitcoin and how the financial system works, and I think it is a good idea to try to show it to them and see if they like it or not, but again, it is better to introduce it to them around their teen age as they will start to grasp and understand what it is. The earning part will follow that time for sure, as before we can earn, we should start by learning.

I agree, we shouldn't force our will on children to learn bitcoin. let the children learn and reach the ideals that they really like. Because if we force a child to learn bitcoin when he doesn't want to, then it will become a burden on his mind. If his parents keep insisting.

And learning bitcoin is not mandatory for everyone. But it's also good if they just know. Because maybe one day they will be interested and want to learn it.

Are you sure you will only teach them bitcoin as a currency because even you are treating bitcoin as an investment rather than a currency? I see that many parents are trying to teach their children about bitcoin, and they just say they are only teaching them about the technology and how to use it as a currency. But they and you are talking about investing in bitcoin every day, and how can you tell your kids that bitcoin is money?

Bitcoin is not a necessity and is suitable for children. Why do we always impose our thoughts on others while we also don't like when someone does it to us?

You are wrong, not everyone will like bitcoin or financial investment like us.  many people are still living happily and content with what they have without bitcoin or investment. bitcoin or investment is not the only way to success, we have many other paths to success. if you say you hate forcing anyone, don't be too confident that bitcoin will appeal to everyone in the world.  let's teach our children everything, but never force them to do what they think is right, let them choose freely.

If the case teaches forcibly with all its mechanisms in carrying out Bitcoin and all explanations about the benefits, money, values and others to the children, of course it is the wrong decision, and makes children feel burdened with something that should not be present in their lives at the beginning , it is indeed too complicated, I myself who already have enough age to learn bitcoin, can't understand that in a matter of months.

Therefore if you really want to teach the child it is very ineffective for its development, you must have the right and gradual strategy according to the child's development, and most importantly does not make them forced to obey the polarization of your desires so that your child understands Bitcoin with fast time.
And the most important point in my opinion is to make your child know Bitcoin and they are interested in Bitcoin, if they are interested, they are usually more excited in getting to know Bitcoin, and that you also need to provide supervision to them.

Someone already made a similar thread - to which I replied with a solution that is a good way to show children the importance of Bitcoin.

- create a portfolio for them from early childhood and watch together its progress
- teach why the overall incline with bite sized knowledge about btc and how it works
...and a new idea since my reply in that other similar thread
- reward household tasks in btc and write it on a ledger, and make comparisons to how BTC validates the transactions while a ledger is inefficient for transparency.

It's fine not to force it, but children should still known of bitcoin and gradually learn how it works in the long term...especially if you are building a portfolio for when they are older.

meaning it is not for all because others, when we say that it was very volatile, most of the impressions on this are that it is kind of gambling; you'll easily lose your money, but there are few who appreciate it, which is why they want it as they can easily gain profit from it. You can't really force anyone to learn bitcoin because it is still a useless thing as they can't still learn it deeply, and why are we forcing anyone to invest in or learn bitcoin? Let them discover it on their own, and we should focus on ourselves to learn more.

That Ok and we all I think understand this by nature.

but

The point is such types of incidents never happen usually, yeah I know some sorts of conflicts mostly happen between the families for choosing the profession but learning never gets affected, I am talking about self-learning because as OP said we can't force anyone to learn we can force to choose the subject but next to it we can't force anyone. Bitcoin is a self-learning subject as well.

I have not said anything about forcing children or any other adult person to learn or do something. Neither have I said that only bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general can be the way to success. I said that this topic could potentially be of interest to anyone, since it is directly related to the financial situation of a person, as well as to the issues that concern him about this. And if it is presented in an interesting and exciting way, then the child will show a desire to study it, and in this case the parent can act as a guide and teacher, but by no means as a forcer.

Of course, you one look for answers to these questions with the help of other financial instruments, but my main thesis is that any person will look for them, since there are no people who do not think about their livelihood. It’s just that if a parent, as the first and for a long time the main teacher of the child, understands the cryptosphere and can help the child find answers to these questions of interest with the help of bitcoin, then why not do it? And I don't see any forcing here.

totally agree, there should be no coercion from parents. what you say is indeed the goal as a very wise parent, but we know that there are still many parents who always want to make decisions for their children, even though sometimes it doesn't suit the situation of the child. because parents want that later their children can get the best from what has been done to them. but it is seen from the side of the parents but not necessarily in accordance with what their children want. I think that for certain issues the role of parents could be more dominant, but in terms of learning bitcoin it is clearly very different, because understanding bitcoin is not as easy as parents think. maybe children really want to know in time or because the situation of technological developments makes them finally know by themselves, so the role of parents is only to explain more wisely the understanding of bitcoin.

You are right, because at a young age, as a parent, you really have to teach any knowledge that is positive to your children. Including providing a good understanding and teaching about bitcoin. Because even though it's true, we don't know what our children will choose in the future, but at least these children know that bitcoin is indeed a quality asset. And so that our children know, that his father is a bitcoin investor.
Indeed, don't force it, because if children are forced by their parents, into fields that are not liked by the child, usually the ends end badly. Whether it's in terms of success or in terms of comfort, surely the child doesn't feel free and isn't passionate when running it. So any form of coercion given to a child, I feel, will have a bad impact on the child. Even though what the parents are forcing their children to do is bitcoin assets, it will definitely not be good. So in essence, be a parent who always educates their children, but don't force what the child doesn't want (especially in terms of getting finances). Because the steps taken by everyone will be different, and that includes our own children.

As OP said, we should just teach them, and if they don't like it, you shouldn't force them either. Just because you're a bitcoin investor, it doesn't mean you have to force your kids to follow your path.

Bitcoin is a quality asset but not unique in this world, our parents were also able to live and raise us without bitcoin. So let them freely choose what they think is good. I don't object to parents teaching bitcoin and investing to their children, but absolutely should not force them.


Coercion always brings bad results, we can force them when they are young, but can we continue it when they grow up? The more we force them, the more they will hate bitcoin rather than accept it.

Yes, that's very true, forcing the will of parents for the good of their children, then what happens will have the opposite effect. By continuing to suppress things they don't like and parents forcing their children to learn them, what happens is that the child will be exposed to mental attacks at an early age and this has a very negative impact on the child's growth which can lead to decreased performance in brain development.

Of course, every child has different skills and desires and what parents have to do is hone their skills so they can achieve what they want.

The government can force the children in learning about the local fiat currency. Whereas a parent cannot ask the children to learn about Bitcoin. I am against forcing anyone to learn about Bitcoin. Children need to know what is good and bad for them. Parents should teach their children about Bitcoin and let them decide what is good for them.

Yes, we can't cram the knowledge that even we ourselves consider difficult, children should be taught the smallest problems starting from their lives, not bitcoin when they are not 18+

You are not totally right @Bureau, haven't you heard of human rights? Every citizen has their rights in every country, more especially the young ones (children). The government or parents can not force their children to do what they don't like, but I believe that the parents or the government can advise them to do what they think is best for them.
If parents should teach their children about Bitcoin, it is supposed to be an easy way and not the hard way, because they can not know if the child does not like Bitcoin unless the child tells the parents.
However, Bitcoin is for everyone, but we must accept it first.

Never forget that bitcoin is highly irresistible not because it has the latest innovation but because bitcoin is the future. So I don't think we need to force our children to learn about bitcoin, they will certainly do it in the right time when they are already mature. Once they have seen that bitcoin is on the edge of other investments, then they will not let any opportunity to slip away but will always find ways on how to enter bitcoin investment, and be successful and profitable on it.

However, its also a good motivation for them that they will  be guided by their parents on an early age by introducing bitcoin to them. It's not to force them to learn, but to open their eyes at an earlier age that with bitcoin, their future will be highly secured.

There's nothing wrong with teaching Bitcoin to our children, as long as we know they can absorb it. Why not? Now, we, as parents, will know whether or not our children can understand what we are saying.

Because I plan to do it, I will not immediately tell him about bitcoin, but what I will do is familiarize him with the usages of bitcoin until the day comes when my son himself has curiosity about bitcoin. and when that happens, I will start to explain to him little by little about Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin is not easy to understand, and that's the truth.

Bitcoin is a digital currency in which global knows about bitcoin and in the Internet bitcoin is always threading so even though you have not teach your children bitcoin other people will teach your children bitcoin either through school or through play from the age group because bitcoin is all over in the Internet and is not something you will force your children to develop interest and learn about Bitcoin, so I believe that bitcoin is something I denotes that have to do with time, if your children doesn't have a time to learn bitcoin their is nothing you can do and they develop interests in bitcoin

True that, let our children to have a freedom of choice, they will ask us about something if they are interested but let us not fail to introduce Bitcoin to them, at least we had opened a path to cryptocurrency for them.  Just let them decide whether they get interested or not.  We can follow through once they get older.  For now let them enjoy their being a kid and have them interact naturally with things and people around them. 

Pushing things that are way complicated for their understanding will only confuse and stress them.  It is not healthy for the kids so better not force them to learn complex things for their age.

And children's are not always ready for these complex things; as they are young, they should enjoy their youth first before anything else, so they will not miss out on the things they can do as children. Yes, we can open the idea or introduce the idea of bitcoin; we can only teach them bitcoin deeply if they show interest and want to learn it themselves. As many children or young adults have exceptional talent and a mind that is more mature in thinking, they are the ones who's ideal to early teach about bitcoin, but of course, young people still need guidance from their parents as bitcoin if they engage requires money, so we also need to teach our children to have proper money management, not just bitcoin itself but the other aspects needed in bitcoin, like discipline, self-control, technical analysis, etc. There's a lot to be considered before bitcoin itself.

Probably on the worst things someone can do with their kids is forcing them to learn something that they have no interest in. I understand they are trying to do it in their interest but oftentimes it's just doesn't work and the kid may even end up hating whatever you are trying to make him learn. Some parents should learn to take it easy, it could be school, it could be sport, the question is: does my kid like this? Am I doing this more for him or for me?

I wonder how many times I was mentioned on this topic. I guess I have already responded once or twice regarding this matter. Once again, what is the point of teaching your kids about Bitcoin? Regarding my country's education system, a four-year-old's average weight is around 16 to 20 KG. Can you imagine a school bag that is more than ten KG, and he carries it when he goes to school?

The kids are already under a lot of pressure to learn many things at a young age. I believe it's enough to know the alphabet and some numerics in the first class. Slowly, they will learn more things according to their age and capacity. Where do you see a scope to force them to learn Bitcoin in this age?

If a young person has talent in another field, it might be easy for us to decide what to teach them. however, if the child hasn't shown any particular talent yet, we could offer to teach them about Bitcoin and blockchain technology. Remember, it's about offering, not forcing. If the child responds positively to learning about blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, why not give them some lessons? after all, I don't spend much time buying Bitcoin as a long term investment.

so far, I'll still prioritize the talents the child has and consider Bitcoin as an alternative if they don't discover their talents. If it turns out the child has the potential to be a badminton player, I'll still inform them about Bitcoin investment, or at least teach them how to accumulate BTCtc using the money they earn from playing badminton once they reach a professional level.

Have told my Eldest Son about bitcoin and explained this to him and to my surprise ? he liked the Idea of having it till his college (and maybe till future) so now we are starting to educate him and how he will hold it and to keep it safe , we agreed that I'll Give Him small amount to start with and he will be the one to add more from His allowance monthly , and promised that all the gift this Christmas will be all invested in bitcoin and with that , I am so proud of my eldest son.
hope that yours are also have an open mind and knows how to plan for their future and how to trust their parents .

Educating about Bitcoin is good but forcing a person into Bitcoin is not right. A child can grow up to learn just as much as he is nurtured when he is young. But I think it's better not to discuss Bitcoin in front of children because when they understand better, if they are taught something about Bitcoin, they will accept it. And it's not fair to push at a young age, but I've seen a lot of cartoons being made these days about Bitcoin teaching kids. If kids get some ideas from watching those cut videos then they will definitely be able to acquire some good knowledge about Bitcoin when they reach their age. That's why it's best not to teach Bitcoin to very young children because if they have to pick up all these positive aspects of Bitcoin, they may fall behind educationally. If they learn about Bitcoin when they try to become financially independent, it will be good for them and they will be able to do a lot in the future.

Parents who regret they can't afford to make an investment at an early age teach their children to have an early investment so while they are growing there's a possible return they can get, but its too young to them to understand the bitcoin at the end its parent's decision to have this, so until the children do not know the bitcoin custody are still on the parent's side. We cannot blame them for this kind of mindset they want let their children be aware of the real world immediately but again don't cut their wings just for this.
Ideal to just give a brief knowledge to them and if they get interested good but if not and you as a parent still want them to have this ideal to inherit those assets.

Teaching children about investment is very good because it will be easier for them to understand it and if we teach children about Bitcoin and they still don't understand it well, we don't need to force them to do it because maybe now is not the right time for them, it would be better we prepare investments for them when it is time for them to know we can teach it, because investing in Bitcoin will be very profitable for their future.

It is right that it should never be forced, but if you think about it, there are many people around us who have lack of money and their children hardly meet the education expenses. Those who are not short of money have their children pursuing their studies without any worries, but there are also children who are unable to meet their educational expenses and are working alongside their studies to meet their expenses.

I have seen many such children grow up and become successful in their lives, because they take responsibility on their shoulders from a young age. So there's nothing wrong with talking to kids about Bitcoin, because now when we look back at the history of Bitcoin, it makes us sad. If our parents or close people had told us about it when it was trading at 0.2dollars in 2009 and if we had invested even a little bit of our pocket money in Bitcoin, how much would we have profited today. So instead of keeping children ignorant of Bitcoin, they should be taught about Bitcoin.

Putting extra pressure on children will change the mentality of children, so putting extra pressure on children should never be done as a guardian. Each of our guardians should play an important role in the development of children's mind-set. Children should naturally acquire education according to the educational syllabus of their institution. If children are increasingly stressed about Bitcoin and Blockchain, they will not be able to learn their class studies and will instead become mentally ill due to the extra stress.

If we teach our children when they are still in elementary school, I don't think the children will be interested, because their world is still a game world, Yes, I agree with you, if your child is older, there's no harm in teaching him, Parents slowly teach our children about the world of investment, if they keep asking questions out of curiosity, we continue to educate our children, How about this investment in the next 10 years the value will increase, and the assets remain the same, while teaching you about the concept of money, This is not in school lessons. Maybe children trust their parents more than their teachers at school. and it is through this investment that we can fight inflation. Money keeps going down every year. Another reason is to invest at a young age, you can pursue your dreams and prepare for your old age with financial freedom

Acquiring education according to the educational syllabus of their institution never comes naturally. This is very artificial activity, because every institution has its own view in education process, and it can not be guaranteed that this way will suit for the specific child. I don't see anything wrong with kids getting some extra education, including about crypto. But sure, it doesn't have to be about forcing them.

There's nothing wrong with giving your child knowledge that includes crypto. We all know this is not commonly taught/included when they grow up unless they see it somewhere or are told by someone else.

If the child shows interest in cryptocurrency once being told, it's a good sign. But yes, if the kids do not show any interest, forcing them will only lead to a negative result. Let them make their own path to knowing Bitcoin. Let them learn on their own, if your child does ask for your help for clarification and a clear explanation, give it to them without forcing.

There is no benefit of forcing anything on children. They pick things based on their interest. If we force anything like Bitcoin on them, it will be with them for short time but they will leave it later. On the other hand, if they pick something of choice, they will have understanding of it for life.

There are strong phrases "Like father, like son" and "apple does not fall far from the apple tree", which means we should not force our kids to learn about Bitcoin, but if they see we are into it, they will eventually start to show interest to it also. We all know that kids switch on their protective feature against everything that is forces to do, and that gives rise to hostility. Moreover, Bitcoin is not the most important knowledge for kids to learn. They have plenty of other necessities to learn about. So I would not rush to learn about Bitcoin and wait until kid shows interest to it on his own. That is the only moment parent should join the process.

In modern countries, this is not even a topic due to its obvious answer. But in many developing and poor countries, people will try to groom their children into something too early giving them no other choices to discover their inner gifts and skills.

Just today I saw an online friend posting about how young his 16-year-old kid retired into amateur boxing. The kid last month won a silver medal in our yearly national tournament which is already a huge accomplishment. But deep beneath, I can feel that the kid does not want what he is doing. My friend own a boxing gym before and he loves boxing which is why he wanted badly for his kid to become a boxer.

You made a very viable point @ OP but the truth is that investing on Bitcoin has nothing to do with destiny because it doesn't require special skills neither does it it requires a personal momentum.
Though it could be tough to some person's to exhibit the possessional PATIENT requirements with the hope to make profits in the Bitcoin marketing industry but never the less, still, all factions and systems of making money is still required patient unless even at those who indulgence in illegalities, patient to planning to succeed as thought is highily required.
Though my point shouldn't is not termed to compromise the contents and of OPs contexts.
Bitcoin is an investment and not a carrier. That is why people on different sources could diversify their investments to have a path to Bitcoin investments because it is flexible despites the technicality to handling.

For tender minds, it's better to do things around them that you want them to do than rather say/force anything. If someone from family were to be into Bitcoin than high chances child will get to know about it and might get into it as well.

To a degree, I absolutely agree with the sentiments you have expressed but at some stage (depending on their age) I think it becomes a very relevant conversation to have. The world is changing and if we as adults to not pass on relevant information and historical facts related to finance and social/politics to the next generation we will probably be doing a disservice to them.

Sure, if they are not interested they should not be forced to learn about Bitcoin or crypto, however I would state that if there is a subtle way to guide them to bring some sort of broad information to their knowledge it might not be a bad thing. After all, if they state they do not want to learn about crypto surely the appropriate thing to do would be to ask "why" and then have that conversation that you seem to not want to have.

That's how society runs nowadays, some parents wants to teach their child on the things that a child shouldn't have done because of their age but for me, it's better to learn while they are still young and it also depends to a child if they really want to pursue learning on the things that they aren't familiar yet. Again, it depends to a child so don't force someone to do something if they don't really want to. Gaining knowledge and experiences at the young age may gives a benefit to them once they are growing up and facing the real life.

I don't think there is any point to force anyone to explain Bitcoin. Moreover, I don't think it is necessary to explain this to those who are in a minor state. Attention should be paid to whether they are developing properly at this time. If we think that if we give knowledge about Bitcoin to our children from now then that child will get better understanding about Bitcoin in future this idea is totally wrong. Until a child is mature or capable of understanding, we should not force them in any way. Of course Bitcoin can make a significant contribution to a person's future career, but only after a certain period of time they will be worthy to understand it.

There is time for children to learn all the knowledge that can be useful for them in the future, meaning that if children are still in school and still in elementary school, there is clearly no need to give them too heavy a mental burden. Because their minds must be focused more on learning to read, count, write and how to analyze a problem so that they can be sufficiently prepared when we provide knowledge that they are not used to learning.

And when they have finished elementary school and are starting to move on to a more middle and high school level, that is the right time for them to get to know the basics of Bitcoin and Blockchain. Because when the child starts to move on to a more specialized educational level, it will be easier for them to determine what education is more suitable for him and he must also continue to be given a more specific understanding of Bitcoin and Blockchain.

I'm actually against forcing a child to learn Bitcoin but a good parent to should be able to see where a child interest lies and give the necessary supports. It mustn't be tech or Bitcoin, it could be art, music or anything. 

According to what I read on the internet, Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum founder) has interest in tech and he started developing video games as the age of 10. He was introduced to Bitcoin by his father, Dimitry Buterin at the age of 17 and he went on to develop one of the highly sort after Dapps in the world. Maybe at some point he's going to get to know about bitcoin, but someone introduced Bitcoin to him. So it's not an entirely bad idea to introduce Bitcoin to a child, we just have to do it at the right time and if the child doesn't like it, no issue.

Totally agree, children should learn some basic fundamental stuff in their formative years so it's really in our best interest if it's something that teaches them about being a decent person, how to think in a critical way and teaching them about knowing themselves should be some of the stuff that a parent should teach them, teaching them something complex without any fundamentals in problem solving and discourse is like shouting into the void or in a way it's going to be useless plus I feel like the parents that do this kind of thing with their kids are frustrated people that want to create a mini version of them that they can control.

It's true that forcing our children to do what we want is not good, because children have their own fashion and it is their right to be able to choose what they think is better. But as parents of course we want the best for our children and there's no harm in teaching them about Bitcoin and how it can change their lives in the future. Whether they will adopt it or not is their business, the point is that we as parents have taught them what is best for them.

That is a common thing that parents do in my country, at least in my point of view and experiences, I don't know if this applicable to any places and to everyone. They are the one who will decide what your future would be like for example, they want you to be an civil engineer, so they would invest a lot of thing by buying you all of your needs, giving you all of your desire like cars, phones, luxury and etc. So you won't say anything about them when you're trying to pursue what they want as they can easily say that they gave to you everything. I think it's not really about starting while they are young, some kids are not still aware and haven't explore the world yet to find what is really for them. Gaining knowledge at early stage can be considered as advantage, but never force it if they never really like it.

In my own opinion, forcing a child to learn Bitcoin might be against some countries' laws, but in my country, forcing your own child is common, because we see it as a means of giving good directives to our children. These things happen every day, especially when the child is in his/her teenage age. They feel like they are adults who can be responsible for making some serious life decisions. Bitcoin is the future of cryptocurrency. Anyone who fails to dive into it when they have the opportunity will surely have regrets tomorrow, so at first forcing a  child to learn Bitcoin might seem too rude or wicked  as a parent, but, as time progresses later, I bet the child will thank you later in the future. And besides, teaching your child Bitcoin doesn't mean his/her life or career.

I doubt that by teaching any child in any country about blockchain related finances including crypto is a crime. If they learn about Bitcoin while they are young it will be in their mindset as a seamless process just as teaching them about fiat. If a parent or school curriculum does not (or does not want to) teach about it, that is a different matter altogether.

Actually interest matters alots and if child is not interested in something then it is not possible for him to continue the journey of earning from it. You will teach him properly but if he is not mentally prepared then neither he will learn well nor he do well and for bitcoin investment active mind play a better role. Not only in bitcoin investment but you cannot force your child to work in a business until he himself show interest for it.

Leave you child to select field for himself but also check his activities if he is involved in bad practices like gambling then guide him to leave it otherwise if he is a wise person he will choose that path which will be suitable for both you and him. If a parent is earning from bitcoin then there will be possible effects on the child too so don't force your child but share your success with him and he will automatically attract towards your business.

  Well  I don’t think you need you to force anything on somebody, everyone should be given the right to choose what ever they want to do.  They is no need to force Bitcoin in anyone as we know not everyone will succeed in bitcoin investment. They are people who have lose their capital still in this bitcoin investment, some who have little knowledge and don’t know their way around the it may even vouch not to partake in it again. Some people prefer to see their investment with their eyes, most of this business men who deal on what they see may not want to pay attention to bitcoin because they feel they it’s not worth investing in since they can’t see it. Even without bitcoin they still excel in their businesses.
  Everyone has their strengths as we all know, and can succeed in other areas of life. Bitcoin is not the only way out, people that are not technologically advanced who still uses the old fashioned method still make makes it life. Some may be due to ignorance, we still have some people who still don’t know what Bitcoin means and how it’s works, but still they still live their lives and go about their business. Bitcoin is good no doubt and it’s a new wave people should indulge in cause of it plenty benefits its has offer. People shouldn’t be forced into it rather they should be allowed to pick their poison.

Thank you op for also calling out attention back to this very topic and I've also written a thread about not forcing  bitcoin  on our kids and let them enjoy all their youthful age and only guide them to realizing their potentials.
I don't have any issues with parents want ming their kids know about bitcoin earlier but it makes me feel that they're making their kids pay for their mistakes of not accepting bitcoin earlier and now their fear is that their kids doesn't make such mistakes and they're now doing e everything in their power to make sure their get involved now before bitcoin explodes but this is maybe just my head playing with me but whatever ways we should let kids enjoy their childhood and let them grow in their pace  

Actually If you read carefully you'll observe I used the word force, by forcefully teaching a child, it means the child in the first place did not buy the idea of learning Bitcoin, so you are depriving the child the right to make free decisions. Besides I came across this PDF file (https://www.google.com/search?q=childs+right+about+decision&oq=childs+right+about+decision&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i10i160l2.19930j0j9&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8) that did some explaining to proof that such countries that practice these laws exits.


In my country our custom demands that a child must be obedient and respect his/her parents decision. So I think as children they are not mature enough to make good financial decision for themselves, they need some one to guard them so they'll not go astray. Even the 2024 US presidential candidate  Robert Kennedy  (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://cryptopotato.com/us-presidential-candidate-robert-kennedy-purchased-14-btc-for-his-children/%3Famp&ved=2ahUKEwjx15vOkaaCAxUPVUEAHcg5BUAQFnoECAcQBQ&usg=AOvVaw1DG_Kng2hbPgr_qYvTt8fz) bought 14BTC for his kids, so I believe he knows the importance of Bitcoin before he could make such a huge financial decision for them.

Forcing your children is never been that recommended because on the time that you do make out some explanation but they had just simply ignore it out or something that doesnt show any interest while you do explain then their minds arent that prepared or ready.There would really be that a specific or right time on which you would really be that able to explain and let them learn or know about Bitcoins existence.So as with other people too like relatives or friends on which there would really be a specific time on which you could really be able to make out some introduction on what it is and what are the opportunities that it do have, just dont forget to tell
about the risks though yet it is really that important that they should really be that wary about on the said stuff because if they wont then on the time that they would be losing money then the main ones who would really be that getting blamed would really be you.

Going back on teaching up your kids then its understandable on how excited you are on sharing up the idea and knowledge but just like been said that there would really be the right time on doing so
which it would really be that appropriate on the right time and on the right moment.

Yes I noticed the word "force" before I replied but we look at this from different angles. If a child does not want to learn about certain things I do not think it is wrong to teach them a little about parents think is important therefore they should teach enough for them to decide if they are interested before a decision to continue teaching or abandoning it can be made.

Children being forced or not would probably form part of the equation after they have an introduction to Bitcoin. Maybe by not introducing them to it, parents are depriving their children of something that will be a fundamental part of their future when they become adults.

Coercion is a bad idea, even we ourselves don't like others forcing us to do anything, so let's put ourselves in our children's situation. Bitcoin is not the only investment that brings income and wealth, there are many ways to become rich and successful in this life. So let our children be free to pursue what they like. Furthermore, it is never too late to invest in bitcoin, if they are interested in bitcoin later in life, they can also start without it being too late.

Bitcoin is digital currency and it is very interesting thing which is very popular among young generation so no one should force a child to learn about bitcoin because he will be attracted to bitcoin after a certain age. so there is no logic in forcing a child to teach them about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a profitable thing but if a child is taught about Bitcoin against his will and he first sees a Bitcoin dump then negative perception of Bitcoin can work in him. So children should not be forced to learn about Bitcoin in any way. But if any kid is interested in learning about Bitcoin.  In that case, some help can be given to him

You are right about this, I think when they reach a certain age they will find bitcoin on their own the same way we are fascinated by bitcoin. So we don't need to force any child to learn about bitcoin too early, sometimes it will be counterproductive and make them fear bitcoin more than they actually like it.

I saw some people suggesting that children should be forced to learn bitcoin as early as possible, but I wanted to ask those people. Do they have children, are they married or not, or are they single and giving advice they have never experienced before? Because if someone has children, they will understand what it takes to raise a child.

However we still need to monitor what children learn and how they learn. I would not be a happy father if my children learn that cryptocurrencies primary goal is to be an untraced payment for something illegal or not for their age. I would be very disappointed if my children would find out first that bitcoin is used to buy drugs or something on darkmarket, and only with time find out that this is for example is a great investment opportunity or becoming a "blockchain IT guy" is actually a pretty good and well paid job. I would not force children to learn anything, but I think it would be good if I would be the first person to give them first impression about crypto.

Indeed, explaining Bitcoin and its complexity to children requires extra care. Forcing such complicated ideas on people can lead to misunderstandings and, eventually, loss of interest. It is very important to find out if the crowd is ready and open, whether they are kids or adults. But its impossible to overstate how useful Bitcoin could be.

One must deliberately choose the right time to share this knowledge. Yes, timing is very important, but so is making sure the information is correct and easy to understand. Overconfidence can backfire, but understanding cryptocurrency's many risks and rewards is crucial. This allows the audience to make educated decisions without blaming the instructor.

I agree with your words that we shouldn’t force our children for learning about bitcoin in their younger years.  But if it turns out that they are very happy with our bitcoin usage and they express interest in learning about bitcoin then it is not a problem to help them at that time.  Because it is very difficult to force someone to teach something but if someone shows interest in learning something and has focus on that subject. But we can tell our sons and daughters to learn about Bitcoin when they cross at least 16 years

That's the condition, you tell them a bit of them without forcing them to know. But when they show interest, that's when you're going to tell them what Bitcoin is.
As long as they are showing interest then you should be happy to teach and show them on how to use Bitcoin because that curiosity of theirs will grow into an interesting knowledge and could turn into a hobby someday.

In fact, it is never possible to teach anything by forcing what ever it is. If the person or the children don't have any interest then no body should force them to do that or learn that. We should take care of what they like and give their interest priority. But what we can do is to present to them the positive aspects of the things that may be necessary in life. As we teach them many things as primary education.  I think Bitcoin will play a big role in the economic system in the future so I think our future generation should be informed about it as children so that they don't get left behind and they should know the positive aspects of it.

That should be the standard in every single situation where parents are teaching their children. Telling/explaining about a particular topic (in this case crypto or Bitcoin) without forcing them and allowing them to indicate if they want to learn further has to be the best way to proceed. If children do not show an interest there would be no need to continue teaching them.

Having said that, I hope the next generation have more use of crypto than what most of this current generation has and that can only from more education.

Bitcoin is a very promising coin of the future and it will make payment gateways easier in the future. Although Bitcoin is already accepted as payment in many places. Bitcoin is expected to be used everywhere in the future. So the future generation must have knowledge about Bitcoin. But it is not right to force this on children.
Of course we should wait until our kids get interested in Bitcoin.  But on the other hand if they pass a certain time but do not express interest in Bitcoin then it should be our duty to convince them.  But forcing it on someone is not a good decision

The truth is that there are still a lot of unknowns about bitcoin and it would be better to let children learn at their own pace and not to pressure them into learning something that they're not interested in. Bitcoin is very risky investment and it's not appropriate to expose children to financial risk without their consent. The way Bitcoin is been perceived even among some grown up people, my concern about exposing children to Bitcoin is that it could lead them having unrealistic expectations about the future. Because Bitcoin has experienced some major price spikes, some people believe that it will continue to grow in value indefinitely. This might create a get rich quick mentality in them which can be unhealthy and even dangerous. Even if we are to teach them, I think it's important to teach children about the risks and realities of investing rather than giving them false hope.

Right, just like giving them some thought and idea of what Bitcoin is. That's already enough introduction.
And when they want to learn more, they can use the internet to search for that question of theirs but it is for sure that they'll approach the parents regarding what boggles them and if Bitcoin can't get out of their minds.

I am hoping as well because they're more exposed to technologies and that's likely to happen.

"The number one problem in today's generation and economy is the lack of financial literacy."I don't think we need to force them to study crypto currency, but it should be part of financial literacy. We should teach them, not force them to become traders. Trading is not everyone's call, especially in the crypto market. It's like every other skill that we learned, but it's solely your responsibility, whether it's a profit or a loss. In my opinion, crypto currency is the next evolution of currency. Learning about these things is part of the basic financial knowledge that everyone should have.

Though I broadly agree with you, I would not state we have to convince them about the virtues or benefits of using Bitcoin if they themselves do not ask about it or show lack of interest. I believe at some stage it should be brought to the attention of children but after that they should be left to decide on whether they are even remotely interested.  It is also about how the people of various countries and cultures view the situation about guiding their children to certain paths.

I like the way you managed to capture that  ;D

I don’t see how children can be forced to learn Bitcoin though because imo, I think that children are to be taught the superficial part of Bitcoin. It’s not like they’ll be taught trading or be told to pick a career around crypto. Right? I expect that the point of the learning is to tell them the latest tech and everything about it so they know in time and choose to either invest or use it later in life (if they want).

Of course, we can introduce bitcoin to our children and should keep a close eye on them so they don't get scammed or use it for illegal purposes.
But what I want to say here is that they need to reach the right age to introduce bitcoin and finance. We should not force them to learn, and we should not force them when they are too young to need to know about bitcoin.

Honestly, not just with bitcoin but also with the financial markets. I am a latecomer compared to my friends but my current profit is better than my group mates. Investing early is also important, but investing early does not guarantee your results will be the best. To be successful, you need to combine many factors, not just be the first to join and become the most successful.

As in this sense, if a person want to learn I mean anyone, maybe someone is our brother, our other relatives etc., we have to tell them about the bitcoin benefits but one things we should always keep in mind that for this purpose we ourselves have to be much knowledgeable about the bitcoin otherwise our discussion about the crypto or even bitcoin would be half and half knowledge can't give a person full benefits.

As regarding the matter of children you are right, because we have to give our children a freedom about his career whether he want to come in the crypto space or whether he wants some another business sides to carry with. That should be a person own's choice, we don't have to drag him/her just towards the crypto due to our own choice, this things would be better for a time but there will be many disadvantages of it as we would see in the coming future.

Undoubtedly, that financial concepts, including Bitcoin, should be introduced to children at a suitable age. It is important to emphasize, however, that financial literacy is not solely based on age, even when it comes to cryptocurrency. Beyond simple chronological maturity, one must possess the subtleties of investing and the sagacity necessary to manage tumultuous markets. It is therefore necessary for us to consider when it is best to introduce these issues.

That being said, I have to disagree with your claim that early investment has no consequences. Although theres no assurance of success for early entrants, a more astute investor can be developed by encouraging a younger generation of investors to grasp market dynamics. Well, your tardiness in joining but excellent earnings highlight the significance of strategic ability, but doesnt that particular skill need underlying understanding developed over time?

I believe, it also can be just about talking to your child on the topic, related to your own interests. Children tend to pay more attention and stay interested whin it comes to something more attachable to them, not pure theory. And when they see that their parents are found of something, they are more likely to be interested in this too, because they are generally like to observe someone`s enthusiasm and passion. Especially when this someone is very close and dear.

It is never possible to force children to learn about Bitcoin but in countries where Bitcoin is legal, children can be taught about Bitcoin from an elementary level. But that education should be from minimum primary label but this education cannot be forcibly included in the syllabus. Children can only be taught about Bitcoin if they can receive this education properly.

A child should not be overly pressured to learn about anything, not just Bitcoin. A child should be allowed to grow well in his childhood.  Attempting to teach a child to read textbooks right from birth can hamper his healthy growth. There is a time for everything, as parents it is their responsibility to do the right thing at the right time. As the children gradually grow up, they need to be taught about specific subjects according to their age. As a parent you are involved with Bitcoin so you should teach your children about Bitcoin from childhood, it may be wrong because if you introduce Bitcoin to your child in childhood, something exceptional can happen to him. If you absolutely must teach your child about Bitcoin, try to teach him about Bitcoin when he learns to understand it or when it won't be a bad influence on him, not before.

Right because forcing children to do something that is not possible will have a bad effect on their brains. Nowadays children are learning everything through technology and if they need to learn they will try to learn from the internet themselves. Also many children learn by seeing the whole family working on bitcoin themselves it will depend on the country when it comes to teaching in schools. It is not possible to force education in schools unless bitcoin is legalized by the government.

There is a benefit actually. What about forcing our child to go to school? Just don't let them force doing the bad stuffs. BTC is not bad because we are already benefiting with it, so it's not bad if we force our children to learn it as early as possible.

There are benefits if they can learn it early. Don't let them be like us who doubt BTC for a long time and regret learning it late because we already missed a lot of opportunities. We shouldn't let our child decide for them selves. Can't you see, that there are lot's of children who do drugs, getting addicted in video games, and similar negative habits? Obviously they will keep doing these because it gives them a good feeling, but it was still wrong and must be corrected ASAP before it/they completely destroy their lives.

I think it all depends on how the conditions are too because I agree with what you said, for the modern world, the act of forcing children today is indeed starting to be abandoned not only in bitcoin but in any case because there is a right to freedom for everyone so that they cannot impose the will of parents for children but on the other hand things like that also cannot apply everywhere.
All parents want the best for their children that's for sure even though sometimes imposing the will from the beginning is a thing that is not very good but on the other hand, something like this is still valid on the grounds of wanting to improve the child's life to be more directed so that in this case it depends on the conditions and environment too actually. It is not too good to direct children too hard but on the other hand there are also those who make it good rather than in the end the child has no future and has no purpose because the mindset in developing and underdeveloped countries is always the same so there is nothing wrong with also educating a little harder in order to be a differentiator and to be better than his parents even though this method is a little rough.

If you don't mandate your children to learn about Bitcoin because of the bigger opportunity they will tend to gain then what are we going to mandate them to do. Cryptocurrency is one of the fast growing financial market and it might surpass even the forex market with time.  It will be a good opportunity for them to learn about the Crypto market and how Bitcoin works. It is better for us to get them preparing now that they are young than to wait for when they finally grow old which might look too late for them. The crypto market will keep growing as long as the government does not compromise it with sanctions.

Of course, you can introduce bitcoin to them. But it is only up to them to decide if they want to use these knowledge and implement it in their life. We as parents can not decide for them what would be better. Because the reasons why we turned to cryptocurrency could not be shared by our children. And they will live in a completely different world, which we might not understand so well. That is why we should listen to their desires and ideas. And give some pieces of advice when they ask and feel the need to hear.

Educating children about Bitcoin is essential for their financial literacy. Instead of forcing them we should introduce them to the fundamentals of cryptocurrency. Forcing someone to learn something can lead to resistance and even dislike for the subject but introducing it in an engaging  manner can pique his interest and encourage learning.

If you are a parent, I don't see anything wrong if we want to make our child understand Bitcoin. If I have a child, I will not hesitate to teach it and make him understand it. It's like you just combined it with his studies.

Making our child or children understand and familiarize themselves with what we are doing with Bitcoin or crypto is a good step for them to learn and understand what we are doing; after all, they will benefit from it as they grow up.

The caption frankly sounds like, "don't force your children to learn about the future".

Who on earth goes with that which has faded except it remains the only solution to a particular type of challenge. It is necessary to bring to light within your immediate environment the solution that the Bitcoin network brings to the world, most especially the financial industry.

We are heading out of the centralised phase of living and if you fail to teach your children about the new big deal, you most definitely will have failed in your responsibilities as a guide.

If it were to be included in the education curriculum, it's a good idea to not only cover Bitcoin but rather delve into cryptocurrencies and Blockchain technology. I believe that would be more beneficial than merely teaching them how to make money without understanding the powerful technology behind Bitcoin. Teaching Bitcoin trading is more suitable for college students and should be part of economics studies.

Moreover, the learning path for technology should begin with computer basics, and Bitcoin is an advanced topic that might only be suitable for college level studies. I prefer this to be a specific subject or major, as it's better to focus deeply on a subject rather than just having a superficial understanding.

Certainly as a parent you must be able to see the future and its developments. Yes. Children are an investment in the future for both men and women for their parents who need to be provided early but the delivery pattern must be adjusted to the needs according to their exact level.

Well, I personally have taken my 4 year old children to a fiat ATM to withdraw some viat money when they want to shop as an initial introduction even though I only direct them to press the menu at the ATM. But at least they know. When the time comes, I will slowly tell you about BTC and its uses.

Providing education about BTC to children of course depends on the situation and circumstances, if for example a child is interested and wants to learn about BTC of course their parents can teach it and indeed now we are starting to enter the digital era I think parents can direct their children to learn about BTC as long as there is interest from the child . And need to remember that the path to success is not just from BTC investment, of course there are many other paths.

and as a parent, in teaching about BTC, of ​​course he must also have extensive knowledge about BTC.

I don't think it makes sense to explain Bitcoin to young children. Because that kid wouldn't understand Bitcoin and hold it. Moreover, in some cases they may lose their interest. But if I can convince someone at a time when he is capable of understanding then he can easily increase his interest on that particular subject.
You are right that it is good to give an idea about Bitcoin but they should not force them to know about Bitcoin. Moreover, when children attain full knowledge, they themselves will accept their good and evil. Kids can be inspired about Bitcoin but not forced. Children must prioritize own interest and freedom.

Forcing someone for learning something is a kind of foolishness. Because everyone has their own interest. All though I am interested crypto. That's why I will try to teach my children about crypto world. I have interested from my childhood to do work in online and become a freelancer suddenly I found Bitcoin talk and that increase my interest on crypto market. That's why I am here because I have interest and to know about cryptocurrency. If my child have interest in this I will sure teach him but if they don't have interest I will not force them to learn I will say learn what you like.

I agree on teaching them about bitcoin at the right age and the right time, But if your child is in such a young age, I think it's better for a parents to support and to cheer them on the things that they really want to do. Let them free on the hobbies that they want for now, the day will come that if your child is interested in crypto, they will come to you to ask about how crypto works.

I am against forcing children to do anything. But speaking about Bitcoin, the only thing I would tell them is to not to be afraid to test any new technology, as this is the future. My story would about how people who believed and became early buyers, turned into rich people in 10 years. The idea would not to trigger them to go and start spending money by investing here and there, but if there is a chance to be first, not to be afraid to take it.

Can we agree that as adults and parents it is our responsibility to educate our children on any topic and subject that we deem to be important? If Bitcoin is something we as parents have concluded is important to the future of our children, then we have an obligation to bring that information to their knowledge. After that, it is for the children to decide if they want to follow up to learn more or otherwise.

Even if the parents see Bitcoin as important knowledge for the future of our children, the child will still be the one to decide if he wants to learn or not. I'm not saying that telling your kids what you know about Bitcoin should not told to them, it's a good idea actually, but if there's no sign of showing interest, let them decide what is good for their future. Parents will only be their guide and the ones who will help them if needed.

you are very correct when you said everyone have their own destiny but when it comes to Bitcoin I don't think there's anything like destiny. Anyone who knows what Bitcoin really is will be so happy  to even learn it because learning Bitcoin is a very big privilege. There are people who don't like certain things but due to the situation and environment they found themselves they have no choice than to adapt.
Moreover, you can't force someone to do something but you can convince them to. Talking about destiny,  well sorry to say this more than 40% of this citizen don't even know their destiny.  It is only when you know your destiny you can be able to make choices and decisions

I agree and would like to re-iterate that yes, it is the child who will decide but in the end parents could (or should) bring the information to their children then allow them to decide if they want to learn more.

For example, if a parent thinks they learning about medicine/pharmacy, electronic engineering or rally car racing is going to benefit their children, it is their decision to teach their children about it and then leave it to the children to decide if they want to learn more.

My opinion, teaching a child about bitcoin depends on the age of that child, there's nothing bad teaching a child about bitcoin, as a parent you're suppose to know what's good and best for your child, and the idea to teach your child about bitcoin sounds good. But if the child is not willing to learn there's no need forcing the child to learn. Not like anyone's destiny depends on bitcoin so I see no need forcing the child to learn about bitcoin.

if at all you want to teach I should have about bitcoin,  it should be inform of stories, telling them about the early time of bitcoin.  How people where no very serious about it because it was a new innovation and nobody expected it to be something that the world will really need.  I think this story is good enough for children to be introduced as lessons yo children than trying to give them lessons about investment and wallets,  it may seems difficult to understand for them. Children easily learn things through story telling.

Children are the leaders of tomorrow so whatever we deposit to them as parents and teachers will manifest in the society. But you have to allow the child to accept the learning so that they will have interest in the learning. If they will lead in the future then they need knowledge to lead and they still need our guidances.

Bitcoin is the future of the world so children should not be left out from the foundational knowledge. But allow them to do it. As a parents of pro bitcoin, you can insert it in their home classes (extra moral lesson at home) and that can also help to learn gradually.

Now, on this note I broadly agree with most of what you have written. Children certainly are the future of tomorrow therefore though it stands to reason they have to be allowed to learn, the onus is on parents (or adults in a teaching environment) to bring suitable subjects to their knowledge. As they get older they will probably learn about it at school therefore they will get a head start from other children and it might work in their favour.
