How to explain bitcoin to teenagers or children

[lolxxxx]

Well i guess no need to explain about bitcoins to teenager or children because when they see bitcoins at many place they will get interested in it that what is this? and the will themselves google it and starts learning about it. Like me i never learnt about bitcoin from anyone.

Every person is different in my opinion. Bitcoin telling myself to my brother, and he told what it was and he was not interested in knowing bitcoin. It would be very easy if someone is interested in bitcoin would be very easy to explain. But your will be very difficult if one is not interested because of how hard we explain if they are not interested we could not force him. The most important thing about bitcoin explain just what it is, if they are interested explain further.

Exactly we cannot force them to take part in bitcoin and its activities unless they wants to and they will only take interest in bitcoins when they see it occasionally and more often. After that they will ask 2nd person about bitcoins or maybe the will search about it on wiki or google.

Teenagers and children these days are pretty good with technology. If they really want to learn about Bitcoin, they can look it up for themselves and learn about it. There are so many websites that explain Bitcoin.

And it is easier for them to understand digital currencies and concepts because they belong to that generation. Some kids even have more knowledge on the internet than their parents. With this, it would be much easier for them to get the meaning of bitcoin and how it can be used for daily living.

Yes, kids or teenagers nowadays are very smart and i think its easy for them to understand bitcoin if they are interested. as you said their generation now is different from what it was before and some of them are early exposed in internet happenings.

Explain Bitcoin to teenagers is actually not that hard, because teenagers always curious about things. Whenever you trigger them with a new interesting information, then they will try to learn it more.
But for children under 13, maybe it's even harder to do it. But you can actually do it with the game method, where you can put some of an explanation to the game that they play.

Young people get even smarter than adults. The fact that young people today grow up very quickly and have enough interesting things on the fly. And so with cryptocurrency too, is the case. Perhaps we can not worry about that young people will be without knowledge.

Yeah and I think they can grab things very easily and can learn it very quickly in compare to the older people but I still feel that they should be introduced to bitcoin only after certain level of age.

Well it is not difficult to explain teenagers about bitcoin. All the teenagers knows the currency and there use, just you have to tell them about bitcoin that it is a crypto-currrency and how it is used and how it works. You can find many of the youtube videos to explain them about this easily. And keep the children out of this topic as they don't even know about the currency.

Teenager are more active nowadays so it will not be difficult because bitcoin is all about the internet and they can easily google all the information they need to know.

My daughter is 26 and watched me tinker with mining for years. The only thing that she was ever interested in knowing was that if I  buy her a card from Gyft she can exchange it for Riot points (or however the he...ck you spell that). She sent me a physical Dogecoin last year for Mother's day :-).
I give the older kids things like bitcoin and precious metals (also.. pocket knives when they're old enough).

One of my nephews is interested in economics so I gave him a framed Zimbabwe Trillion Dollar note with a Dollar bill/ silver dollar framed in front; and 1/10th of a bitcoin in a paper wallet on back. That was several years ago and he still has them all.
Most of the other ones have spent them.

They figure out what to do with those things.
If they know where to spend it, they will find the value in it. If they learn the value in them...they may just keep them ;-)

Well you are giving them a option to save, and search a bit more about bitcoin, in others hands you are give them freedom to choose what they wanna to do with their money, i dont know how to teacth such at home childs are young yet, but they care their money already.

i dont think if child must to know about btc. maybe in future btc will be internet payment but teach about that to our child wasn't good. Wait until our child grow up until 14-17 years old and tell to them about btc. There was my opinion..

If he is child we can not explain them well unlike teenagers that can understand more easily than below teens..
And i think its good to explain for those teenagers because they can adopt more once they are are done in study..

[th3nolo]

explain bitcoin to teenagers is not that hard because today this guys seem more technological and can understand this things faster compared to other generations but with childrens oh! this is something hard to do, maybe we can skip this topic  and tell him when they grow.

Yeah right! Teenagers or kids now are expose to internet and technology so they can pretty easily catch up bitcoin and understand it how to use it and what is the value of it. Internet is an opensource so they can learn pretty easily unlike before it is very difficult if no one is guiding your or teaching you.

I'm glad to give them the opportunity to choose. Some point out that teenagers today seem to have more technological savvy and will adopt concepts like bitcoin much more easily; I agree.
Us older people have our long standing ideas about money ect so wrapping our heads around something that "seems" intangible (digital currency) as having value is more difficult for the older generation.

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.

I am a teenager. I found myself interested in bitcoin ever since 2015. I know bitcoin while i was surfing on the internet. It is not very hard to explain what bitcoin is and how it work with teenager, children. They are not as obsolete as the old generation was. They will quickly adapt with new technology and new information.

They are not as obsolete as the old generation was. They will quickly adapt with new technology and new information.

This is the point I too believe into. New technological advancements are more attractive to new generations always. Old people will stick with what they already got practiced to use with (also they do believe old is gold). All the above, I strongly believe, on one will be needed to educate teenagers and children about bitcoin ecosystem as demand of modern digital life itself will enforce them to learn.

May be just show the youtube video is  could be work. Or they can learning by doing. There is no fast way to explain bitcoin to them becouse it is so complex. Be patient I am sure that they will understand after a few month.

IT's really hard to explain teenagers or children to play with bitcoin or to earn bitcoin, bitcoin is really a good thing you can suggest youtube i guess or send them to school instead teaching them on bitcoin there are big oppotunity when there are done studying

[molsewid]

Well it's really difficult to explained bitcoin to kids because there mind is not that really matured to understand thing in bitcoin. If you are going to force kids just to let know about bitcoin well thats not good for them just wait them until they going to show some interest on it.
