No it is not that easy, children should be in school and attending their classes. Yeah they are already exposed on gadgets like smartphones and tablets because of our technology nowadays, but they only want is to play games. They are still on the very young stage to learn how to make money online.

It looks like it's a good idea, I'm sure when the children are playing games by collecting bitcoin then automatically she will learn to know the bitcoin as means of payment more fast, practical and simple.

As a teenager or a millenial we grew up with the new technology. And explaining to teenagers, what is bitcoin? Is not very hard to understand because some teenagers wants to earn money already. But maybe explaining to a child is hard because every child wants to play, not earning money.

Yes, to millenial it is not hard to tell them on how bitcoin works, just introduce them the bitcoin and for sure they will do the moves and explore more on how bitcoin work and be earned.

LOL, teenagers that will do their own research after you've introduced them to something? I really doubt that most would do that unless you can introduce them to it in a way that speaks to them.

It would be far better if they find out about Bitcoin themselves and have a use for it. Such as buying stuff online without needing a credit card or something like that.

It's either you're being sarcastic or you're just plain dumb. How can playing games "automatically" teach the kids what bitcoin is? If they play games, they are just having more experience about the game. They are learning more about the game and nothing else unless the game is all about how to use bitcoins, and even then, the kids will not easily comprehend it.

You don't see someone playing GTA V on their computer saying "Oh, wow. I totally know how to drive a car." the same way you don't see someone playing games to earn bitcoins saying "Oh, wow. High score! Now I totally know how much transaction fee there is, how they are computed, and transaction is really fast even when you transact with somebody from across the globe."

Too long, didn't read: The games that pay bitcoins teach you nothing about bitcoin.

we provide a basic understanding of it in our daily lives, we introduced early on by making a payment using bitcoin when we shop while telling what it bitcoin and its functions

[N@p$t3r]

Well you know my friend, I will give 0.02 btc to my daughter and let her margin trade with altcoins. Once she realizes that her bitcoins are real money she would definitely look for other ways to earn it.

She will eventually find out about this forum and start researching about bitcoins, she could participate and soon earn from signature campaigns.

Look, it is better to make them learn it kinetically rather than showing them youtube videos.

Yes, I also think that teenagers themselves must understand what bitcoin is. And if you show them that you can make money, they will soon understand this system

but i am not in facour of to teach them about bitcoin because bitcoin is not yet using as currency but people are using it for investment purpose only and i think the teenagers need to give preference to their education and after completing their education they should start taking interest in bitcoin.

Imagine your 10 year old had bought $100 worth of Ether from his pocket money at IPO, he could now afford a car, a motorcycle, drugs ... 

I really wonder if there are parents in this "mini-whale" type of situation and how they cope with it LOL   

[Jasad]

LOL

perhaps they will it explain to us?

Just ask them to install a wallet and pay their pocket money that way; soon they will be creating their own smart contracts on ETH for doing chores etc. 

Exactly, that is how young generation grew up with modern technology, they can explore it after you make some bit explanation to them, you dont mind after a montg they got more coins than yours.

yeah google search engine considered more than just a book ,
for those people who can use wisely and properly their internet connection ,
there is million article about how to get started with bitcoin , bitcoin basics etc ,
young blood will have huge curiousity , you just need to introduce that there is something big on the internet called bitcoin , the rest of it let them do!

you just need a little information about bitcoin to tell him if they are interested they will surely find out for himself about bitcoin in google

thanks for make that resume , you make everything clear now 
teenagers have to lured by something that they loved ,
nowadays they love to play games online ,
and you can offer bitcoin as payment processor whenever they want to but the games.

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.

There are lot of countries are the same case like yours. Then in my countries also bitcoin was not that popular yet, it is still most of our fellow citizens here are not familiar with it. Now in terms of explaining bitcoin to teenagers, I think it will be very hard to explain to them what bitcoin it is so the better things we can do is let us show to them only the usage of bitcoin, example explain only that bitcoin can be use as sending money, payments on billings, and use for shopping online something like that.

Children in any case are interested in earning money on the Internet, because they like the idea of ​​their financial independence and at the same time they are constantly on the Internet. Therefore, it will be interesting for them to work there.

children dont understand banks/fractional reserves etc..

the best way to explain it is in gaming terms,

like their games assets (whether its tradable pokemon or weapons, food, healthpacks in some RPG)
these assets are stored based on the username and password.. you can send assets to someone else by knowing their username which you/they are free to hand out to anyone.. but no one can take assets(pokemon, weapons, healthpacks) from you unless they know your password and you cant send them to other people usernames without using your password to authorise the trade.

there are many websites where you can look up that statistics of who has what asset(pokemon, weapons, healthpacks) and you can use your password on many websites to move your assets to other people. the assets(pokemon, weapons, healthpacks)

the assets(pokemon, weapons, healthpacks) are not stored on just one website but linked directly to your username and many websites just store the statistics pages of what username has what asset

now the username is called a address and the password is called a private key.. do not tell anyone your private key as thats your key that should remain private. but if anyone you like wants to give you gifts or see what you have be free to tell them your address

precisely among children I think is not appropriate when it is explained about bitcoin I guess when you're 17 years can only be given a thorough understanding of bicoin. if my children are the exact gaming

[Pattart]

we provide a basic understanding of it in our daily lives, we introduced early on by making a payment using bitcoin when we shop while telling what it bitcoin and its functions

maybe your friend will ask, then what is the difference with paypal and then tell them the advantages bitcoin than paypal as an investment or something

I agree. My kids just watched me the first time I got involved with bitcoin and other digital assets. The next thing I knew, they too were buying cryptos of their choice in exchanges with their allowance. The kids of this generation are adaptable and they learn technology faster

[TTMNewsK]

I will explain to them that bitcoin is a great currency.
It is like the other currencies but with a lot of great features.
Bitcoin is an internet money which we can use it as a payment.

Yes the younger generation is very smart. they will learn about btc and how to utilize it very fast. but the problem is they are distracted by lot of online contents which make them lose there focus on making money. so the best way to teach them is we have to choose the people who are more enthusiastic on working and earning money online. we have to explain them how it works may be a presentation or online tutorial will not be bad idea to achieve this task.

They are not quite smart IMO, it's just they are born in what we call "Information Age" where information is flooding to the very depts of individuals ( unless internet and personal computers are not in your home and you don't care about the technology nowadays ). The brilliance of youngster nowadays is a product of what they have grown up or what they have seen these days, even if dad is born in these age he will catch up so soon too, too bad they lived in a different era ( but not all oldies are not open minded to new technology). For me I won't let them fucos on making money, I will teach the basics and foundamentals of Bitcoin and explain what is the possibilities why and how it is created. Let them grow without greed. Let them grow with knowledge and discipline. It's true that they will learn along the way by guidance and they will have an idea to make money using bitcoins, but I think what's more important is to let them learn that Bitcoin is not just all about money, its about freedom and making the world's currency better without the powerful people that squeezing your money to your very veins.
