A funny cartoon picture from an Irish newspaper I spotted today: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CjDjereWkAAVkG4.jpgBasically there is an Irish tradition where at 12 or so your relatives give you some money, etc. In this cartoon the poor dad is scoulded for using cash when the son wants it in Bitcoin

A funny cartoon picture from an Irish newspaper I spotted today: -snip- Basically there is an Irish tradition where at 12 or so your relatives give you some money, etc. In this cartoon the poor dad is scoulded for using cash when the son wants it in Bitcoin That's one smart kid. That's what I figured I'm not sure if I should be happy and laugh or feel sad about it. It feels funny because just as you said, their generation is probably going to be a generation of bitcoin users. By that, I mean many of them are going to be using bitcoins. It kinda feels sad because that's what the father can give and probably not be appreciated because 'it is not in bitcoin'. Good publicity for bitcoins though!

The younger generation(s) won't think of bitcoin as something strange like my generation does. Just like email, twitter, etc. Those forms of technology are easier to catch on to for people that are introduced to it at a very young age than us older people that get in to it much later in life. Bitcoin could be a technology for the next generation more so than for people in their thirties and forties.

Otherwise we have a static dead coin.

I'm giving my niece a bitcoin for her graduation this weekend. I already created an address for her a few years ago so it's easy to just top it up even if I'm overseas. Did the same for her brother when he graduated a few years ago. I finally showed him how to use them a few months ago and he was pretty excited.

yup,its a smart and modern kid,he dont want to bring much money on his pocket or wallet,its weight and complicate to carry on,and bitcoin better than cash money in this aspect,easy to carry and simple to save.
But he still has to carry his mobile/laptop to access his bitcoins.Unless it is a huge amount,carrying currency would be easier for a kid

Yup. Kids of this generation have been clued up due to all the documentaries that are available on youtube. Everyone is starting to wake up to the fact that EUR, GBP, USD are all just tools used by their governments to extract wealth from society at large. Bitcoin and it's variants will bring an end to all of this very soon

I'm sure it's already happening. If the kids are into drugs and living in the suburbs, where they can't score.
