How to explain bitcoin to teenagers or children

[Narosya]

It's hard to teach them about business stuff because children always take it as a game which isn't good. We can start by letting them play some android games that reward in Bitcoin (yes, there are a lot of them).

If you push in the right direction with respect to the child's Bitcoin, perhaps in the future the child will surpass their parents. Anything can happen. I have observed how many of our children are more talented than their parents.

Depende of the age of the kids, if they are young a lot, they don't need to learn something like that, at least I have no much idea about money in my chilhood, just buy some candy at school lol

I think bitcoin is not just about business and profit is not. I thought the teenager was like playing. might be good if there is a platform game that uses the currency bitcoin?

Making a video to them or just search a good video then try to make them understand it by asking them questions or make them interested in Bitcoin. Tell  them the pros and cons of it. What can happen, what would happen, what to expect etc. The best way I think
 Is to give them their own wallet and lrt them experience it. Preferably that is for teenagers. Give them their allowance there.

To be honest i don't really know how to explain it to children, maybe open 1 wallet for them is the fastest way for them to learn, because in order to introduce bitcoin they need to understand banking system, but if explain to a teenager will be easier just say its digital money like the money that appear in your bank account and the bank is your wallet, and bitcoin is like another country currency so in order to change it into fiat you need to go to local exchanger

You should tell/introduce teenage and children  with bitcoin like it's a digital money, it's a form of money which is made and stored in computer. It can also be stored in paper wallet. It is made by the process known as mining. Which involves solving if complex mathematical problems.

I think nowadays that stage will not be anymore willing to be engage in earning method they only want is to play online games than to have earnings. But we can explain but the hard things is to convince them that is a big challenge.

Possible to find a solution to explain to a child or young person is all about Bitcoin, only he will be able to take it all in his young age. At the forum there are people with age 15 years, but it is highly unlikely that they are engaged in mining bitcoin.

although bitcoin can be use as currency, but in our area most of the people use it for investment and trading as there are very limited shops who accept bitcoin as currency, therefore i think Teenagers and Children should only pay attention to their education and no need to learn about bitcoin, bitcoin is not going any where and when they finish their education then they should give time to Bitcoin.

Most of today's kids know a lot more about technology compared to those born in 90's. They easily figure out how gadgets work and with that, it is easier to explain to them what bitcoin is. A good thing for them to start learning about bitcoin is give them an actual wallet that they can play around with.

Which it right as we knew kids they love exploring so with the information that they can earn using bitcoin for sure they will for it and they will also try to know how to earn it.

I think not all the teenager prefer to work and earn money. I think it is only a small part, I mostly saw him spend and squander their money for shopping? I think we can get them interested in shopping using bitcoin, where they find it easy to shop and get discounts with bitcoin

That is a better idea to give them a bitcoin to buy,in that way the may be able to understand how the bitcoin will work.Also with them having a bitcoin,it will open them to the online reality of digital currency as it is the future trend.

This is the effective way to explain bitcoin to them, let them use bitcoin. But I am bit doubtful if you are going to teach them how to earn with bitcoins.

Its either good or bad result, Good result in a manner that as early as youth they already learn how to make money with bitcoin.

Bad result, teenagers must not be working and just focus more with studies.

If you explain the importance of digital currency in the future and to convince the child that cryptocurrency that will allow him to be realized in life, it is very easy to understand talk about the meaning of the most bitcoin coins, then I think that this idea is not bad and will bring relevant benefits very quickly. Children always want to become financially independent.

I don't think it's a good idea to explain bitcoin or enforce the ideology that bitcoin is good to children as they are not yet mature enough to understand what is really going on and the economic aspects of it. They may actually just take it as a tool to gamble, or do illegal stuff.

i believe it mainly depends on what age you are talking about and also mostly it depends on where you live. for example if you want to explain bitcoin to a child in a country that there is no usage for it apart from online gambling, there is no point in doing it.

but if you live somewhere that there are shops and places outside that accept bitcoin it is not such a bad thing to explain about bitcoin to a teenager.

Explaining bitcoin was really quite hard. When it comes to my friends they even are having a hard time to understand what bitcoin really is how much more for those kids who's primary focus was to just play. Well, I've also seen a lot of teenagers right now who's try to adopt bitcoin but most of them are only those who are exploring things out on the internet.

You can't really teach children, but for teaching teenagers I think it would be easier to understand for them as once they hear the word "money" they're usually attracted. You can use an analogy to compare Bitcoin to Money for example, and talk about the government and blockchain.

Its much easier to explain bitcoin to a teenager vs an old person who knows nothing else but fiat.  Children are fresh to the world the concept of money is strange.

I know. Some of the older persons of today are grumpy and not even open to suggestions. They think they know it all already. They are just close minded

If youre trying to explain bitcoin to someone new, dont jump straight to the blockchain, transactions,etc.. Start with the mining and how its generated, then the price and how easy it is to earn some, also transaction time is also good to start with.
