How would you explain bitcoin to a kid? "A multi-player server on the wildly popular video game Minecraft has introduced bitcoin to its world as a way of teaching children about digital currency." http://www.coindesk.com/kid-friendly-minecraft-server-launches-bitcoin-economy/If you are invited to give a speech about bitcoin to school kids, how would you introduce bitcoin? |

How about giving them their allowance in bitcoin? Will give them the opportunity to both learn about bitcoin, spend them as the new generation and makes them more careful with their money (they could loose all if not careful).

What for you want to explain Bitcoin to a kid? Average kid hardly understands concept of money at all. It is too abstract for a young brain. Forget about Bitcoin god sake. Leave them joy of childhood.

Future kids are very lucky to have a Bitcoin digital currencies in their everyday life, besides that forthcoming years will have streaming change in the digital technology growth, perhaps at that time, each kid would be carrying USB Mining stick with them  |

You would be surprised to see how smart kids are nowadays. To the subject: I would make an animated cartoon explaining Bitcoin and how it works. Then I would give them part of their allowance in Bitcoin. Then take it from there |

i would tell them about bitcoin, through a game like flappy bird, with the version in which you earn bitcoin
and then tell them that those are real money that you can use in real life

Do not under estimate kids these days. I introduced my child to a Android game on the internet, where they play for a Bitcoin reward at the end of every week. He did not care about the Bitcoins, he just wanted me to cash it out for fiat. I explained to him how Bitcoin worked, and he used his Bitcoins to buy something from the internet. They do not care about the inner working of Bitcoin, only the value it has, and how they can use it to buy stuff online.

This is nice. If the Minecraft server allows player's to withdraw their bitcoins then teaching a kid about wallets and savings early on could be good too.

It's impossible that kids would understand how would Bitcoin works. I would focus on making them learning how to use a wallet and do basic transactions. Im sure any kid can learn that after seeing how they learn to use computers and smartphones pretty easily. They will grow up with it and be second nature to them. Eventually they can learn how the blockchain works.

i agree that teaching kids about bitcoin might be a little too soon and it might be a little hard to understand. what you said about "Average kid hardly understands concept of money at all." is wrong. because they do and actually parents should start teaching them about concept of money at very early ages like 4-5 years old. |

Right now, I don't think I would like to share with my kids about bitcoin.
In my opinion, BTC is still very risky, not mainstream yet and people still see bitcoin as investment and buying it with hope that they will make profit from it.
If kids will ask me and I will have to give some answer, I will tell them that bitcoin is great new idea how to get rid from the banks and become financially independent but it's to early to say if bitcoin will make breakthrough and really become alternatively accepted world currency or not.
I will advice not to invest their own money here but to earn some BTC in a free ways and save it for later.

i would not use the words "digital decentralised crypto currency" i would simply have the game that accepts bitcoin, and a few online shops that sell candy, childrens clothing and just show the kids how easy it is to buy things. i would explain that the 'funds' are not stored in a bank account by some company, but instead spread out all over the world and accessed using the special wallet and passkey, ensuring no one but the holder of the key can touch the funds. it needs to be as simple as handing a kid some pocketmoney and showing them how to spend it.. and thats all |

It is easier to teach kids about bitcoin than to teach them about the Federal Reserve System.
The same with adults...

I know right at lease with kids the would value it but the federal reserve system is just out of this world all they care about is being able to print more free money pretty much. |
