Do you honestly think Bitcoin toys would help us?!

[CreativeCarol]

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?

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.

Why would you say that though? What is your reasoning for that? I don't know of any children using this site. It's mostly adults.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about Bitcoin - the currency, not Bitcoin Talk - the forum.

I think bitcoin toys would help us introduce bitcoin to people. I mean people will notice the toy and find a information about what is bitcoin. And kids will ask they parents what is bitcoin.

Yeah but it'd have to educate the child alone without looking up Bitcoin. The toy on its own should really educate. There should be some kind of pamphlet explaining the nature of the currency, and so on.

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.

Yes, If the toys come in the form of this, http://www.coindesk.com/kickstarter-launched-for-piggy-bank-that-lets-kids-save-in-bitcoin/ < I wonder how far they got with that project > I think the best educational material for smaller kids will be educational games, where kids get rewarded with actual Bitcoin and they can supplement their pocket money with that income. I would like to see some board games like Monopoly get in on the action too. < Giving micro payments for reaching different levels in a online player vs player scenario > ^smile^

for me creating a coins satoshi like image and make a millionares game will helps bitcoin to be more recognized I use to remember that game before it was very popular way back, just like a casino game you would earn luxuries and it is so much fun playing it with your friends. and making it virtual would also help those kids to remember btc and got there interest.

i think it can be effective.
but it needs to be created with some thought and not just for the sole purpose of advertising bitcoin. i am not an expert on "children educational toy making" but i have seen toys that are more effective than a thousands words.

[Genius Einstein]

I think that the children who are probably wanting money more will probably understand bitcoin better than we adults do so it may be a good idea

No i dont think so its a good idea. Kids getting bitcoins in so early age and spend on the internet in some wrong things can be dangerous for children.

[SanaButt]

Also i think that children should focus on studies instead of earning.
So toys should not involve real money like bitcoins

[bitbunnny]

Bitcoin toys? Funny idea. Not sure how clever this is, children shouldn't be focused only on material things and these days they mostly are from their early age.

Yes times are changing. These days kids are involved in monetry things for very early age which is maybe not so good for their
future  .

[shintosai]

using bitcoin toys will give more exposure for bitcoin it is funny but if we can design well and attractive toy, just like minions for example that toys is not for kids but it gather popularity and adults delighted to, so creating a toys which design to focus to introduce bitcoin is not a bad idea for me.

[NorrisK]

The biggest problem would be finding a company that is willing to mass produce these types of toys. You still need to sell them somehow to people, and kids usually want "cool" toys, or toys that their friends also have.

Bitcoin is not cool to have as a toy yet, as hardly anybody knows it and hardly any kid will have toys of it. This can really take off once bitcoin grows more popular, but until then, the market is probably too small.

The piggybank on kickstarter is really cool though. Smart parents can still buy it for their kids as it is not a toy but rather a way to get them saving some cash (in a potentially very lucerative way!).

Dildo maybe? Just kidding, lol.

To be honest, why do you think a children will understand Bitcoin when they do not even understand the currency yet? It's like asking them to commit suicide by jumping off of a building without giving them a chance to learn the meaning of life. It's just my honest opinion, though.

Children do have jobs, IMO. Did you know the term child actor or child actress? Well, but not every child can be one.

Why would you say that though? What is your reasoning for that? I don't know of any children using this site. It's mostly adults.

Trust me. There is a lot of children on the Internet and so does on Bitcointalk because the Internet isn't only limited to adults.

Bitcoin toys can have impact to the children when they play with those but i don't think that the children are playing too much with toys nowadays, i think a better marketing would be creating computer and mobile games for children and so they will love bitcoin

I think it will be good for the future. Because it will be good if there will be more people that can have some Bitcoin and that will be nice.
It is also good if they will know what Bitcoin can do and that is really important for the future. So they will it use it too.
