Well there is no need to explain to children at present. Its better they concentrate on their studies. To teenager who is in graduation semester can be taught and given the basiscs stuff available on internet and its features so that it could also be free to join the bitcoin world if they wish to .

I agree with you children must not think of other things and into earning something. Because if they are going to know how to earn for sure they are going to use it for their addictions like smoking and worst if they are into drugs. Why? Because that is really happening these days especially when they have source of income.

Much better you explained it in person for them to understand and teach them hos to used and how to get bitcoin. You can explain in front of your computer or in cp for them to understand. But if explained it in text or in messenger it hard to understand.

Meaning explaining to the teenagers or children in person has big difference in theory than the actual explanation. Which is true! we just explain it in simpliest way not in a hard way explanation.

[bravehearth0319]

there is no way to explain it other than say that it is money

That is a shockingly bad answer. Bitcoin is not just money, it operates completely different to the way normal cash transactions are done around the world and telling a kid it's just money would not interest them at all.

BItcoin can be use in many things though we know that it is equivalent by a real money/currency. And it is used by different company,advertisement, and any form of businesses. Children/teenagers are only a stage of minor age and we knew that at all. I think we just simply explain the usage of bitcoin not how to earn at once, because everything has process we don't need to rush things.

[bravehearth0319]

well just tell them that it is the money of the future and show them the main things how to use it and thats it

Tha's the right thing we need to do for the children/teenagers. And as time goes by little by little lets explain to them the benefits of bitcoin partialy, So they can absorve it so well. Which in the long run they will discover by themselves eof how good things to have a bitcoin its a priviledge.

Bitcoin is difficult to explain. I also felt difficulties in understanding bitcoin for the firs time. Let's share how to explain bitcoin to children of teenagers. In My country I can say 98% children don't know bitcoin. In fact, bitcoin can be future money. If the children not familiar with cryptocurrency or bitcoin, how can they face the digital era in the future.

If some of the adult newbie member here are saying that bitcoin is not that easy to understand in one day how much more for the children/teenagers. It will be much worst to them to understand it. But I think the better way we can do about it is teach them at basic learning in bitcoin. Since bitcoin experts was started to basic information in bitcoin.

Lol the adult people is says is difficult for understanding about bitcoin that is just a lazy person because if they having interested with bitcoin without advice they will automatically using some of their efforts for understand about bitcoin.

that is definitely the easiest way but i really doubt that it is also the best way because it might be really boring for them to watch it

[Nahl]

in my country also there are mature people don't understand what is bitcoin but i was found some teenagers be a bitcoin users in my country and they had looking more info for learning bitcoin from videos, blogs or some forum who bitcoin related and i think if children of teenagers want to learn for bitcoin internet is the best way to found their answers

[Mr. Big]

The simplest way that I know is to show them while I am doing it in front of the computer, how I earn, how I keep and how I did my transactions using bitcoin...

Honestly, if a person is interested, you don't have to make fancy moves or you don't have to make a lot of effort to make them like it, they will do it themselves or they will be the one that will initiate and ask questions about bitcoin...

I see many similar threads, people are trying to find a way to explain bitcoin to some kids, older people, womans, teenagers. How you explain them what is money and currency? Most people in this world doesn't know where money is coming from, what is inflation/deflation.
Good start is to make people interested in acquiring knowledge, bitcoin is currency like any other, but foundation is not the same. Make kids to learn what is their currency, where it comes from, and then show them bitcoins, and let them choose what is better. Kids and teenagers will change world one day.

That is true and i think most of the topic is look like spam, by the way, explaining to bitcoin is very easy just show them a video but the hard thing is to convince them to used it that is the big challenge to us.

Teenagers will not be a problem, they will be able to adopt the concept of bitcoin very easily as they are way more advanced in technical things.

However, childrens will be a problem. They will not be able to grasp the idea of generating money from computer very easily. So the technological background should be given to them before you start explaining bitcoin to them.

[Gaswuwade]

it won't be easy, But I think you could focus on the aspects that might interest them much "for example: if they are teenagers you can discuss about Steam/Online games for BTC", I doubt you will get much success if you focus on cryptography.

[ekoice]

Its a little bit difficult to explain in few lines. its better to ask them to see videos related to bitcoins in you tube like  The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin. since our teenagers live in an era of technology, they will understand the rest easily.

[PeRo]

It is not as difficult as everyone on this forum think(for the teenagers part), but it can be pretty difficult explaining it to smaller children.
I would probably explain Bitcoin to smaller kids as a currency that is kept on your phone or computer and that is not physical, it is digital. As for teenagers, they can understand more complex parts of Bitcoins, they just need to have interest in it.

well for kids i doubt that you will somehow interest them into bitcoins as they usually like to play only and i doubt that we actually need to try explaining it to them

[Hellacopter]

I think inviting teenagers to this forum will help a lot to explain bitcoin to them and get them with the Bitcoin's community. However the mission is harder with childrens, i think telling them that it's digital money will be enough for them

My son is 12 years old and he used bitcoin faucets to earn money for his next big toy.  He only earls a little bit at a time, as you could imagine with faucets, however he thinks of it as money.  The more he gets, the happier he is.  So explain it to them as money, just explain the general difference between a few different currencies and how they work.
