Children of Bitcoins can be told only in the form of a game. But they will not be interested in the details of Bitcoin. They just need to know that there is a form of money

you may be right based on what age you are calling children!
but generally speaking the children these days are so much into things like bitcoin, and anything that is new and technology related and they will learn more about the technical aspect of it than anybody else can.
and it is the older people who are only caring about bitcoin being money and a way to make money for them.

teach them same way as you teach about fiat

I think kids can grow into crypto after they've understood basic principles of money and value of goods... but it would be interesting to have a resource centre on crypto éducation targeted at perhaps young adults.

Maybe computer science syllabus has already included it as it has already become an important milestone in computing.

Why would they include it in the computer science syllabus? The whole point of the computer science is about computer and not bitcoin. Maybe they can talk about bitcoin for a second in their class and move on but I don't think teachers will dedicated one of the class meetings just for bitcoin. There are far more important things that should be on the syllabus than bitcoin. Bitcoin is something that we learned by ourselves and not because of education. No reason to change that.

Maybe no, but teacher can teach about blockchain technology which have lots of potential in economic or IoT sector. The teacher might talk about bitcoin as well, but only just to let the student know about bitcoin in general.

i think there is no economic subject in the syllabus of children but as bitcoin is new emerging currency therefore the concept of the children should be clear about bitcoin as currency.

Only the government will set what should be taught in school, unless bitcoin will be regulated or the government will be interested to it will we can see that happening.

If wanting to get kids into Bitcoin there are loads of ways to implement exposure to this demographic.

It'll work if pushing mobile faucet games to youth, spreading joy by giving a gift or even jumping up to teach them the value of rare investment early on in life.

Bitcoin is already taught in some universities about technology to expand the knowledge even bigger and i think it's already suited well rather teaching it to kids which still no in there yet. knowing about bitcoin for child is really unnecessary,and don't expect it to be inserted into the lesson if the government not approving it yet

Yeah that's a good idea if you will start with exposing them to faucets that can allow them to get some satoshi's but for sure they will not attain to keep on going with that because kids aren't that patient and they want to have more and more if they want to. Just teach them some other ways and let them upgrading about their bitcoin knowledge.

The best way to teach kids about bitcoin is to use video games that reward them for completing a mission and use that as a reference point to btc. And just let them know that if they want to upgrade a character they need to use money earned from their games then from there can we jump to mobile games with btc rewards!

That would be fun because everyone wants to give and receive gifts. They would be able to socialize to other teenagers that are just starting out in bitcoins but they wouldn't earn any significant amount of money even if they continue doing mobile faucet games for years. I think teaching them about investments, trading, and all those basic stuffs that you have to learn about bitcoin would be much better. Simply tell them the truth about faucets regardless of what platform it is on or whatever twist it has, faucets are a waste of time.

Kids will not be contented with one game only, in fact bitcoin is not a game so you must be very specific and direct so they can comprehend easily.

i agree with since children like to play a game so they will be understand with what we teach to them. beside that, i think its good idea to teach our kid to learn about bitcoin so if  they grow they know that bitcoin is the other way to make money online.

It is depend on how old the children kids is. I think kids aged 10 years above is pretty smart to understand how to use bitcoin. They do not need to understand how bitcoins work, becouse even some mature people will not understand about it. Just give them some as pocket money, then they will find the way to use it.

I understand that children 10 above will be old enough to use bitcoin though i doubt that children that age would have their interest piqued with it. Bitcoin in a way is economics and even older and mature people have a hard time having interest in this. I don't there's a way to involve kids with cryptocurrencies just yet

That's why the method that you will be using must depend on the childs age and ability to comprehend . And yes kids above ten can understand how to use it but on where do you think they will use it? since the number of merchants are limited, and some are just using third party sites so it requires another knowledge . I suggest that the right age to teach someone about bitcoin is 16+ in other words teens and not kids and surely when they reached the adulthood stage they already have a full grasp on what bitcoin is .

For me personally,I dont think children have any business being close to the world of Bitcoin not because Bitcoin is bad in itself, but because of the various vices they might be exposed to along the line which they might not be matured enough to handle. Among such things include gambing, falling for cheap scams, HYIP sites with exciting bogus rewards among other issues even as adults face in this crypto-world.

I wouldn't worry about these things. I've done all of those and I've moved on. Everyone is capable of doing that. We lost our money by gambling and from HYIP sites, and that served as a lesson to all of us. One thing I would worry about is what if the kids started working continuously. If I had the time, I wouldn't do anything else but continue exploring the bitcoin world as this has much more opportunities than the job offerings in my area. People's nature is to be greedy and once kids become exposed to the world where they can make good amount of money, I'm afraid that their greed will eat them up.

Probably, it will change their focus in life and will not value their studies more. Bitcoin is good for kids but must be at the right time and timing. It will exist for long so we must wait for that right time. Kids must be busy with something and that is their studies.
