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."

If you are invited to give a speech about bitcoin to school kids, how would you introduce bitcoin?

This is really a tough speech.

Nice, this is quite cool, I play Minecraft sometimes, should check out that server.

I think this is a pretty good way of teaching kids about Bitcoin and how to handle money in general

install flappybitcoin and some games we can earn bitcoin like faucet allien kill
game is best way to introducing him

Haha lol, i dont think so maybe he would think if bitcoin only toys money

[gripflierGO]

I'm not going to tell them about the the decentralization thing and it's advantages compared to conventional paper money. Probably the only thing I would tell them is that bitcoin can function similarly like what you have or can do with money. It's not free and you have to earn it. That's the farthest I would go to let them know about bitcoin. 

Yeah, that is the best thing to do, we need to tell them the importance and efforts made to earn bitcoins, we need to tell them it requires great level of efforts to earn bitcoins, only showing them the advantages of holding bitcoins will not serve the purpose, so it is better we start from the basic step rather then showing them the value and benefits of bitcoins.

I would say to the children that bitcoin is one of the best coin in the internet

I am teaching my self to my kids about Bitcoin. I use many online resources like YouTube videos, trading exchange sites, faucets etc.

That's good, but the kids loves to watch videos I guess, So I think we should show them documentaries on youtube which would give them the exact idea about the bitcoins, that is true that they are still kids and would not know the technicality of bitcoins, but watching a video can make a difference, and for rest, we would contribute in explaining them what bitcoin is all about and how it is helpful.

This it's hard for kid , i dont know they can know or not . In my family i can say Bitcoin it's key to future of online payments .bitcoin it's technology , if you not learn from now , you can left behind . from bitcoin you can buy everything you Like .  

I would argue with you, I also sense bitcoin too difficult to understand children, so I would say that bitcoin is not for small children...

[MinerHQ]

I think until kids gets maturity like what is good and bad for them-self , one shouldn't teach all these things because there are many wrong ways we can use bitcoins.

[AtheistAKASaneBrain]

Simply put just dont tell them, I don't see people explaining kids how money works or how credit card and banking works. Explaining how to use it it's probably good tho.

You can give them pocket money in Bitcoins.

But there is no need to explain anything to them, just tell them that you will now give them pocket money in bitcoins, and they will be curious to know what the fuck it is.
