How to teach kids about Bitcoin?

[glowing10]

Teach basic economics to kids is a pretty good start to learn about money. After having some backgrounds about economics, I think its easier for them to understand what bitcoin is.

Economies is the basic for anything where the demand and supply comes into the picture. Once this concept gets clear then mostly the overview ois clear then only thing they would need to understand the product which could be anything like in our case it is bitcoin or cypto currencies.  Something like a game or story if you tell them about it , this will be interesting for them as well to understand it.

Kids these days are fun with their mobile phones, if we are to install wallets on their phones which they can use to make transactions I guess that would make them interested on bitcoin or to cryptocurrencies in general. Maybe the EIDOO and Ethos wallet will help us explaining easily.

I can totally picture out a parent sending money to his kid's bitcoin wallet. But what I don't picture is a kid being able to cashout his funds. There's an identification requirement for you to be able to sell your bitcoins in an exchange or in an online wallet in exchange to fiat money and those IDs are only made for adults. They require 18+ of age. There's no way your kid is getting that feature unless you let him use your account to cash it out. But what's the point? You're just giving you and your kid a hassle to do a transaction when you could just hand over the money to him/her. There's no point for kids to learn about bitcoin since they don't even have to learn about money just yet. They don't buy stuff, their parents do. While a kid might be able to accumulate some money from the gifts that they receive from their relatives, kids don't usually need money. They've got the things that they need and whenever they want something, they don't work to earn money to buy that, they cry until their parents buy it.

It's a lot fun and can be useful in the future for kids to learn about bitcoin. But learning about bitcoin as such a young age is just as pointless as learning algebra in such a young age. Both don't have any actual use. The parent is just going to have a bragging rights that their kid is smart or something.

There are many animated videos about bitcoin for begginers cause even for adults it is easier to find out what is going on with bitcoin by this type of learning. So just show them it.

The good way to teach children to use bitcoin is to tell them that it's good to do it and they will earn a great deal to make them use bitcoin. they can still make money just by posting or whatever. They can also make this entertainment while playing a computer. and they can use it until they grow old. because if they continue this until they grow old, they will have a lot of money.

Made some interesting animation video for kids, they will be happy to watch!

Kids now a days are easy to teach, because internet us the one who they know. Aside of bitcoin, kids are not really know bout it. But if you are willing to teach them using internet is easy now. Because young ages now are easy to catch up things.

Teach them first on how to save money and the basics of trading in a fun way. Honestly I learned how to trade at early age because of computers game that has a trading game feature which unconsciously adapted to my mind. Kids will easily learn as long as it is activity based and you gamified concept.

Teaching the kids about bitcoin and that too in such an early ages of their lives is not a good thing. In my opinion, bitcoin is something difficult to understand and that too at such age. We can actually tell our kids about bitcoin but that too very little.

We can tell them further details later on when they will be mature enough to understand the things in a better way. This will help them more.

yes, maybe young children don't need to know about such things...and maybe it would be great if the teachers created some materials in a game form so that they could understand at least the basics...children at an early age grasp everything much faster, than adults

That's true, they learn fast. But I do think that bitcoin is for those smart kids, I mean those above average kids, I think it could enhance their skills in mathematics since they have to compute numbers that are not common in ordinary schools.

But still, I would not recommend teaching kids on how to use bitcoin. Maybe its history, I would agree, atleast they know that it exist even if they do not know how to use it, who knows, one day when they grow up, it might caught their interest.

Maybe that's good idea to how to teach kids about bitcoin but we need to guide are kids how to learn and we need to how to savings for her future i think much better to early to teach them about this bitcoin

[DamnationKiss]

To my point of view Some nations have prohibited using bitcoins because the Government or even the in financial system has no control of the bitcoin network. Nations like Bolivia, Bangleh, Ecuador and Kyrgyzsstan have prohibited adsng bitcoin within their nation, Bangladesh prohibited bitcoins as part of anti cash laundering asiect, Money laundering along with other criminal actions are in existence before the advent of bitcoin and blockchain technology, the fact is that those Government's are frightened from the new technology as it might have a tendency to lose their ability of managing individuals money if all are using this technology. In 2 to 3 seasons time bitcoin technology is going to be accepted by all the countries because of growth potential in the crypto marketplace.ffuma

I do not know but they are still young for this things done by older ones.  I guess if they become teenagers that would be the time to teach them about bitcoin.  Their interest and focus are on their surroundings.  Curiosity is very high on these ages.

This article doesn't talk about bitcoin but it got me thinking how to get kinds interested in bitcoin within the context of appropriate money management lessons. Think of we could teach kinds about it. The growth, the adoption, the inflation and retraction. The allure of the "internet money".

...what other ideas come to mind?

It is hard to teach the idea of bitcoin to kids because i think they will not listen and will not pay attention to you because discussing that kind of topic to them is very complicated. The idea of bitcoin is not for kids because all they think and all they want to do is to play and have fun with their lives.

[hartonosusilo]

Perhaps bitcoin won't ever stop, bitcoin could keep on evolving And it will probably price increasingly more profits. Particularly if all nations legalize bitcoin it will not rule out the possibility that bitcoin won't ever quit. Even Bitcoin is also in a position to provide for our daily life.

I think this isn't a fitable feature that could attract kids's attention to learn about Bitcoin.I think we only could give kids informations about Bitcoin if they have some questions like :" Dad, what's Bitcoin?" or " Bitcoin is good or bad, dad ? " . So that is the right moment for you to teach them about the new evolution of money.

[fruitjay]

Wow. Don't you think kids should enjoy their time as being kids first? But, if he or she is already interested, possibly finding a tutorial video on BTC can work well with them.

It is easy to teach kids but the question is if kids are willing to learn about it because we all know that kids are most focus on games so it is good to teach children or kids about bitcoin through games that kids are appriciate bitcoin and understand bitcoin in an easy way and because of that way kids or children not to think why we need to learn it, we are kids that need to play. So for me we need to teach kids or children through games about bitcoin.

That's the problem, kids are kids and they just want to have fun, if possible they do not need to work they won't.
Kids are busy in school learning basic things and I believe bitcoin is only for advance learners and more matured people because there
is a risk in using it.

Teach kids at the level of their understanding only. I suggest you make it like a form of play where mommy is the cashier but unseen and kid is the customer. As long as you will make it fun for the kid, believe me, he will understand it.

[katrimans]

It all depends on the kids if they are willing to learn about bitcoin. I think at their young age bitcoin might be hard for them to learn. But if we really required the kids to learn bitcoin, the best way of teaching them is by enticement. Use bitcoin as a reward and they will surely find ways to convert it to money. In that way, they will experience how to convert bitcoin and they can even hold the price until its high.

I must say that teaching the young kids about bitcoin is really a good thing. This will not only help them in knowing about bitcoin but it will also help them in having some good opportunities of making money in their future lives.

The best way of teaching the kids about bitcoin is by showing them video games. It is because of the reason that kids do remember the things which they see.

Kids will learn easily about bitcoin because bitcoin will be interesting for them and by teaching them bitcoin we will produce professional investor who can manage and take decision on the right time and al the decision will be for sake of bitcoin and investor so initiative must be taken and most of people will want that their kid to attend bitcoin studies to earn well in future to support his family in a good manner.

[bitzizzix]

I think its a smart idea teaching kids because
they'll need it in the future.

It's a good idea but I think if it's just getting to know it or understanding what bitcoin is and knowing little about it in my opinion it does not matter, because the kids need a lesson or education that is worthy and worthwhile for the future and they still need to play for more know his life to know his identity. the most important thing is to know the right time we are more focused to teach about bitcoin in adulthood in order to be independent and have their own income and can continue in the next education with bitcoin results, which in fear if the age is still children lesson and childhood disordered , good idea tapo wait time is right to learn neighbor bitcoin.
