Do you honestly think Bitcoin toys would help us?!

[MFahad]

Involving Bitcoins in toys is a great idea from the investment point of view. Since kids needs toys and parents willing to spend money on the toys for their loving kids, whats better if they will be paid for using them. Better for kids and their parents also.

To be honest, I actually feel that it might help but not much. I do not think that kid will go to Google and search for "Bitcoin" just because they saw it on their toys. I say it might help because maybe one day when the kid grow up or just started using Google, they might search for "Bitcoin". Even then, we cannot be sure that they will use Bitcoin and support it.

If I were to create a toy for kid relating to Bitcoin, I would create a game similar to monopoly with "Bitcoin" as the money. .

And maybe the "Jail" will be something like "Hacked". Buying a "property" will be like buying a "site". :p.

Their is both positive and negative feed back,

positive is that idea is not bad but what you are telling is like investing in long term profit, as when the kid grow then only it will be usefull, so their should be some more innovative more for this option.

For investing bitcoins in long term profit idea is like an insurance company but the since kids are kids, they will just sell them for more toys or sweets, Unless there is parental control over the profit from the toys.

It will be very good for the kids. They will know about Bitcoin, because Bitcoin will also have later a good future and that is good.
They can learn how to handle with Bitcoin and what you can do with Bitcoin and that is the best thing.

[franky1]

children pick up new things quickly. as long as the words used are simple.

EG if you say
"bitcoin is decentralized crypto currency ledger units"
they would have no clue

but if u say
"its limited supply money that is not stored in a bank but on a password that no one can access without that password"
they would understand.

then you can explain in more detail using simple words.

so it is possible to teach kids of any age as long as the language and examples are simplified into words that can be understood.

now then, as for a "toy". i dont think that in 2016 a kid is that interested in a teddybear that sings about bitcoin, they would see it as not entertaining or fun. but these days even 3 year olds can play games on an ipad or computer. so making an app that is a simple fun game can easily explain bitcoin without the kids even realizing it.

[BTCLovingDude]

why bitcoin toys? i don't see any realation
if you want to teach kids about bitcoin you have to give them a wallet and charge it with their allowance then you have to find a place that they can purchase things like games, toys and stuff like that. this way they learn about bitcoin by using it.

But there's so many children toys involved money in it, just like an ATM machine, Monopoly, or even a money toy.
Bitcoin is the same as money, so do you honestly think that toys that involved "money" help our children?

As in future everything can be seen in the digital form. Introduction of bitcoin in toys would make kids understand the future currencies.

BTCitcoin toys could have an impact on kids getting interested to BTCitcoin when they grew up and eventually be educated in some extent although not completely. Even though kids have undeveloped mindsets as you mentioned, it's our job to break it for them into simplest form so they would learn it piece from piece (the outcome could be better when they learn it like this all the way until their mature enough to understand the whole picture than when their grown up, you introduce them suddenly and surely their going to take more time before getting the idea completely as opposed to the first one).

If I wanted to invent a BTCitcoin toy, it has to have the full name of BTCitcoin in order to have some impact, so perhaps something along the super hero type with BTC letter as it's simple and name it BTCitcoin man or BTCitman. It's has to be a toy that kids would engage in order to have the most result.

Yeah that's wonderful. What I am trying to add is that it's important that the toys alone can actually educate the child about Bitcoin. A super hero of sorts might be cute and fun but I just don't think it'd really help educate the child about what the currency actually is or how it even works. If you want to see a really effective bitcoin toy, how would you pursue that and make it a reality?

To be honest, I actually feel that it might help but not much. I do not think that kid will go to Google and search for "Bitcoin" just because they saw it on their toys.

And maybe the "Jail" will be something like "Hacked". Buying a "property" will be like buying a "site". :p.

Haha, I like that. Very cute idea. That's the point that I'm trying to make. The toy, (or in this case a board game) within itself should be teaching that child about Bitcoin in its own unique way. This way, we don't even have to be hoping that the child will just find some type of honest interest to search what Bitcoin means and what it does. Little novelty toys like a super hero toy somebody just mentioned here earlier was seeming rather pointless. It cannot teach that child anything.

Some of these board games are pointless yes, but when I was a kid one of the local insurance companies made a financial based board game, which taught me a lot about

personal finance and budgets, and it made a difference in my life. I sold the board game to a friend, and cannot for the life of me, remember the name. I would welcome a

Bitcoin based online board game, like the one being sold by http://www.richdad.com/apps-games/cashflow-classic {Bitcoin version}

Oh wonderful!

Edit: I actually don't see the part where they're discussing Bitcoin. I saw that they were discussing the US dollar actually. I'm not saying they're not discussing Bitcoin. I'm just saying that I cannot see it. Direct me to it maybe? I love board games.

Bitcoin is money, but it's more complicated than a wallet with some cash. Somebody needs to explain the actual properties of the cash (how it's made, how it works, how it's distributed, when it was founded) etc. There's absolutely nothing special about the US dollar or the Canadian dollar. It's just paper with watermarks on them. There's nothing to it at all. At least with Bitcoin, there's more to learn and understand.

[LinaMay]

Just wondering, how would you design a Bitcoin toy? It has to be a way in which you actually get to educate the child with it. You can't just print a Bitcoin Symbol on a toy and then say it's an educational/informative toy. I for one actually don't know how I'd want to make a Bitcoin toy. It sounds complicated, but a good idea nonetheless!

[pereira4]

The kids being born now will be using Bitcoin naturally, when they realize they are stuck without owning any money until they are 18 or 21 depending on some countries. They can't never reach financial freedom. A lot of kids nowaday make a lot of money off ad revenue with their content, and they will just get paid in BTC because it will be the quickest and cheapest way.

[BellaBitBit]

The kids in school are more likely to understand Bitcoin than most adults imho. Most adults don't even understand domain names, and that is virtual property.

I agree with this.  More likely to find a younger person that knows about bitcoin than older. 

This is an overall interesting concept to have Bitcoin toys so that children get used to playing with them as money.  As children we all played with games with money so why not Bitcoin.  There could be game apps for children as well that reward them in fake bitcoin, this would give them an opportunity to understand the math.  The sooner you reach children the better, with anything.

[~Bitcoin~]

we can see toy market is quite high so if bitcoin can enter this market than it will not only increase the use of bitcoin  but it will also promote about bitcoin to familes also even to those future guys.

How about a bitMONOPOLY? Bits instead of dollars, exchanges instead of banks. Quite a good way to spend family time with the kids don't you think? 

[RealPhotoshoper]

This post is actually in reference to another post. It's really hard to take it serious for some reason. In theory it sounds rather meaningful but I don't really think it can be useful in any way. This person didn't actually suggest toys based on Bitcoin, but it actually made me go from their point to this one. Do you really think toys based on Bitcoin could be utilized to actually raise our children to be educated on the currency? Do you think they'd actually enjoy the toys? Do you think they can actually grasp what Bitcoin even is? I just feel like trying to teach small children anything huge and confusing is a bad idea because children naturally have undeveloped mindsets to not even be able to grasp what certain things mean. That's why you can't sue children, that's why children don't have jobs and that's why children can't drive.



Curious though, if you wanted to invent a Bitcoin toy, what would you make?

nice idea,but i think its will not effective for people who plays toys,like kids,we all now kids dont understand bitcoin,but if i were to create a toy for kid relating to Bitcoin,i would create bitccoin pillow or bitcoin dolls,they will start to interest and ask about that shape,and we just said to that kids,it was bitcoin,future currency
