How to explain bitcoin to teenagers or children

[E-shipper]

If the house has a farm on the production or the parents are engaged in trade via bitcoin, then by a few children will be interested in what their father and the information received from it will be deposited in their head. This will be the foundation of their future knowledge.

I will explain to them the kind of currency bitcoin is and the advantages it has because if they understand whats the nature of btc its not hard for them to understand in the future on how to earn bitcoin. I will teach them how to join and read the forum of bitcointalk website so that it can help them to learn most of the topics talked about.

as time goes on, there is growth in all way round, both in technology and in the world of internet, therefore, as time goes on, the teenagers or children will get used to it on dailly bases.

I would explain it, that it is real money like Euro or the US Dollar,
but its only on the computer in the internet.

This mean that you can not touch the money, but you can pay with it like with normal money.

Yes it cannot be touched or seen because it is virtual currency.
And if you will introduce it that way to a kid I think they would get interested on it as much as we do, but, don't just let them know all the things, just tell them its basic function that it is used as payment bills online, to remit money.

The easiest way is to download videos that are associated with bitcoin then we share to social media teenagers or children, I'm sure with the video then bitcoin is easier to understand.

Like this
I would start by showing them my bank's online account.
They need to see the incoming amount and the expenses recorded online.
They need to understand that money does not grow on trees or magically appear so they can buy the latest gadgets.
Teenagers are very internet savvy these days - you would be surprised when you realize how fast they can get the concepts.

Tell them a brief history of bitcoins.  The benefits.. the ease of use and the potential since it is a deregulated currency.

I think these videos are rather boring than interesting for teenagers unless they're animated or funny.. Teens are watching fun videos, not educational ones most of the time. For example, BuzzFeed always does great videos because they are interesting, educational, fun and animated. This raises up the curiosity for teenagers.

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.

Yes i agree to you, it is really hard to explain about bitcoin most especially if you explained it to teenagers or children. Likewise, when a friend of mine explained to me what bitcoin is, it was very difficult to understand, especially if your not a bitcoin lover. But in my opinion,i dont want to explain about bitcoin to teenagers or children since it involves money. I dont want for them that in the early stage of life, they already know how to earn money but all i want for them is to study hard, because if the time that they are already old enough well it is the time that i will share it to them

Kids loves playing games and there are many bitcoins related games available nowadays so in that case they will also have fun of playing and at the same time they can also earn some money so I think this can be the best way to motivate or educate kids about the bitcoins.

Great idea but spending too much time in the front of a computer (like we do) lessen the kids/teenagers physical activity.
it would be best to not teach or explain to them what bitcoin is or how does it work but let them know that there is a bitcoin
and let them grow with an environment involving bitcoin.

Instead of teaching them why not just let them be aware of bitcoin, letting them grow with the environment where the kid/children constantly see/hear/experience/use bitcoin it will be normal for the child about the existence of bitcoin it will be
easier for them to learn bitcoin as they grow up as they are already familiar with the currency and how to use it.

even though it is animated or funny I don't think that it will hit the interest and the curiosity of an individual teenager it is not enough to just have these characteristics of a video . do you think that teenagers will be interested to know what is bitcoin if the video they are watching is not related to bitcoin or will not educate them towards bitcoin ? definitely not . these videos are still the good way to educate individual rather than providing them an animated or funny video which is not totally related to bitcoin .

There is a very simple and easy way to bring a child to the study of bitcoin. The fact that the children are always eager to gain independence from their parents and that financial independence is very important. So if this hint, then the result is supposed to be good.

It should particularly focus on learning, not just a movie where a couple of times mention about bitcoin. So no one learns. That's for sure.

That's a good advice! Indeed children want to be independent as soon as possible (I have children, I know, okay). Probably in USA or in GB $40 per month is nothing, but in most countries of the world it's definitely something, especially for children. So, yeah, tell to the teenagers they can start earning their own money with the help of Bitcoin and you don't have to explain anything more.

with social media will all be easy, now teenagers or children always hold the smartphone and when we ask him to open an account-related success stories bitcoin, I'm sure they'd be interested.

Yeah I think teenagers are in the fond of such thing like online earning to make their pocket money and just due to the reason of the concept is very attractive to them. They know how to use intenet better than anyone else so I think they will better understand it in very quick time than a non-technical adult.

Unless the child is not that curious with everything. Independence can lead them into bad situation but not all the time as long you will raise them properly. And teaching them with bitcoin is another good example of parenthood depending on what are the things that you will introduce to them such as earning and on how to transact with people and treat it as another currency.

Teaching them at an early age will only make them curious, and when they are curious and we will not gonna monitor them, they could do something that we might not like. Gambling can be easily access today as there is no restriction on the age since no verification that will be done on the side of the gambling sites and this kid loves to play and have fun so probably they are gonna try it. For me, that is the risk that we should see.

Children will require more time and more struggle to make them to understand bitcoin but teenagers will understand it sooner especially those teenagers who will be educated they will start to study more about bitcoin and will join the community sooner.

Yeah, you're right. It's hard for us to understand bitcoin now, let alone kids. In fact, in their young age, just need to know what is bitcoin, how to use bitcoin in life, so they have a certain understanding, can a bitcoin open learning courses, or carefully educated parents. Should not be through the game or early contact with the community to understand bitcoin.

there is no special way of explaining bitcoin against children. we just need patience as they will need a long time to get to know bitcoin. patience is a very important point.

Why would children bother about bitcoin as they have plenty of other ways to have some fun rather than spending time in a financial area.Financial independence is good but you must have some control on the amount of money your kid is handling if at all he is interested in bitcoin as for me financial sector is not a child's playground.
