.......................... [i]For sure interacting is likely way easier, but interacting can vary, so if you might tell your 10 year old about some bitcoin related information, and then you might not yet be at a point where you are comfortable with the 10 year old interacting with bitcoin, even though it could be possible to go down that road.. or if you are interacting with older relatives, some of them may or may not be willing to share some of their own finances, and they might have their own ideas that could get in the way regarding how to present matters or even trying to suggest that they "need to" learn something (technology) that might relate to something in which they already have a lot of opinions and experiences (maybe not good opinions/experiences, but still).[/i]
Yes it's true. Interacting Bitcoin information to a 10year old can be sometimes uncomfortable. considering the fact that the mental ability can not comprehend Bitcoin. But one thing Is for sure. the journey of Bitcoin does not start a day. People usually become interested in learning, expecially when it's a money related discussion.
If you discuss Bitcoin information to your 10year child and he can't comprehend, you tell him about the inportant of Bitcoin the value and what the future will be and how much you have accumulated, he will be triggered to learn faster. It will definitely take alot of time for them to fully understand,
but never the less as you grow in Bitcoin ability also try to grow with your children. Don't always see them as children.Just like the topic,
gifting Satoshi to the future generations to me I sugest that educating your child/children on Bitcoin at early stages is the best option. So that when they are more advanced you will not be afraid of losing your Bitcoin to an outdated Bitcoin storage facility. Or being afraid of the type of USB or hard disk to store. Because when dey are fully aware of Bitcoin even when you are no more on planet Earth and a new update on Bitcoin is available dey will definitely figure out a way to extract Bitcoin or update it.
I don't really disagree with anything that you are saying Samlucky O - except maybe I am trying to suggest that it becomes very difficult to presume the level of motivation and/or ability to learn that people have - and from my perspective, you seem to want to presume that the fact that there is money that can be gotten, then they are going to pay more attention and even realize the importance of learning - which may or may not end up being true.
We see a lot of examples in the world in which people appreciate money that they get for "free" much less than they appreciate money that they had to engage in their own proof of work to acquire and to build and to maintain.
And people also have different kinds of personalities, and yeah, maybe with the passage of time and through repetition, we can start to recognize the extent to which someone is becoming more motivated or less motivated, but I still doubt that we can count on any of those kinds of things progressing in the direction that we would like in terms of the abilities of people to retain information in their memories or even what incentivizes them, even though a lot of people are incentivized by money, but not everyone even though some people will still be incentivized by some of the freedoms that money could provide them in terms of getting other things that they like.. including maybe the ability to not have to work (meaning that they can choose their activities rather than being forced) or the ability to feed themselves with higher quality food, which sometimes people might not realize sacrifices that they might be making in terms of their own dietary choices based on marginal price differences.
