How to explain bitcoin to teenagers or children

[bitbob82]

We should not burden ourselves on explaining teenagers or children about bitcoin.  Just tell them the basic so that they will not be ignorant about bitcoin.  No need to tell about hold, pump and dump, adoption and other economic and technical stuff.  They will not understand them.  Telling them that bitcoin is money is enough.

to me i think it will be more useful to teach to teenagers about bitcoin. when bitcoin become a proper currency and when it will be applicable in all over the world not only through online but also in  local shops when all the local shops will start accepting bitcoin, i think then it will be more useful to teach to teenagers to learn about bitcoin

It is not really hard to explain bitcoin to a teenager, it is not surprising if there were teenagers here as bitcoin can easily explain especially to them as they were too involve in technology, they have an advance mind when it comes to net surfing, gaming etc. So, if you will explain this for sure they will become interested to do this, as teenager nowadays are fast learner and also wanted to earn money on their own.

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.

Explain it in terms that make sense to them. For example, if a kid plays pokemon, they know what pokèdollars are. If they are teenagers who play the MMO League of Legends, they know what Riot Points are. Its the same as those, but real. Its basically just a virtual currency with a higher exchange rate than the dollar. As for the syntax revolving around it like "wallets" or "altcoins", you might want to just simplify those into terms they understand. Comparisons are your friend when it comes to children and explaining!

to me i think they will never take interest  in it, as bitcoin is really a try subject if you do not have facilities to us it practically, in fact they do not have any concern with bitcoin, because still bitcoin is use for trading purposes and not as proper currency.

For children's bit difficult to explain and there is no need to explain about bitcoin let them enjoy their childhood it's the precious time in human life. And serious note teenager has to understand value of bitcoin explaining to them based on their interest show them how to earn bitcoin by giving services based on their skill set

For teenagers it must be easy to explain since teenage stage is said to be the exploring stage of where teens are looking for fun, things to do, things where they gonna enjoy and so on. But for kids? Nope, its a big no, they only want to play, eat when they get hungry, and i think you must support them on that, kids are kids, they need to play not to think about things that is really for us. Let them enjoy being a kid

[nightxglow]

Even i still don't really understand about bitcoin, and i think it's not the time for children to know about bitcoin? I think they should use their time to play and collecting happy childhood memories rather than joining this world.
I'm still considered as teenagers and i really know how hard it is to explain to my friends about bitcoin.
Even, explaining to my mother and my aunt that already adults are also difficult.
I can only say that the way to explain about bitcoin is showing the proof and example? Because my brother did that to me and i kinda understand about it.
If they really interested in this, they can ask us to explain more or do some research by themself.

yes for teenager to explain bitcoin is very easy and must because his mind is very broad and he likes to learn all new techniques , we need to explain bitcoin to teenager that bitcoin is a digital currency and in future bitcoin will be a world currency so that he understand bitcoin is same as fiats, and for kid I also think that time is not to learn bitcoin just they can play more and more and also enjoy their life, because when they will grow above 15 years, so it will be the right time to teach them about bitcoin.

i do not think that introduce about bitcoin with teenagers is difficult because i also convince my few friend who is teenagers and they easily understand about bitcoin and they are now earning enough money from bitcoin so i think everything is possible.

I would prefer not to teach them unless they had taken interest on entering the bitcoin world. For children and teenager as well as adults, it will be proven difficult to explain if they were not interested on the subject but if they were interested enough I can teach them the basics and the simple way on earning bitcoins as a stary. And from there they can explore other things from bitcoins as they were browsing certain sites.

Its hard to explain the bitcoin in children because  some of them are not interested, but in teenagers maybe not too difficult to explain because they have much knowledge to about the importance of money. Its better to explain it to teenagers because they know the expenses.
    To explain them the bitcoin first I will introduce the bitcoin and I'll tell the advantages and disadvantages. Then, I'll give them some videos in youtube about bitcoin to give them more knowledge about it.

yup its true, the children only wants to play but we can introduce bitcoin to them by playing some games that give rewards for bitcoin. and i think there is many of games like this so we can download it, asked them to play while we can explain about bitcoin to them. but we don't have to explain until completed but we can explain the basic of bitcoin so they can understand and in future, they can learn by them self.

This is one of the best way. Playing games, especially virtual games, are popular for teenagers or children nowadays. If we can introduce to them games that offer bitcoin, then it won't be hard for them to understand it. Yes, the process of learning bitcoin takes time so for them to understand it, they just need to be expose to it as early as now. Experience is the best teacher, so we don't need to worry about teaching them everything all at once. They will little by little learn about it. We can also be a good example to them as they witness how we are able to benefit from bitcoin

Bitcoin is cant easily explain in children and cant understand bitcoin easy. But i think the good one how to explain is you explain that a bitcoin is a digital currency and no government control. It is a online money and access an internet and be a future money. We can teach them that a child is ready for this and we let for them that we are a good example to invest in bitcoin so that they know the strategy in bitcoin and importance of bitcoin in our life. And i know they may interested in bitcoin. At their younger age they know already and knowledge about bitcoin so that they are not hard for them.

For me to explain bitcoin to teenagers or children is I'm going to show them a video on how bitcoin work and how to earn it. There's a lot of video regarding bitcoin on internet specially youtube. Children now a day can easily learn things by watching movie or thru social media. It is hard for me to one-on-one to explain it but with the help of bitcoin video it is easy then.

I don't know how this happens in reality with the children, but with teenage people it's really easy to make them understand. What's required is their attention, and this can be easily got because at that age they'll be in hard need for Money. Explaining all about the earning chances will easily make them learn and start using bitcoin.

Yeah right, if we just tell the bitcoin, surely children and teenagers are difficult to understand, the best way to understand the bitcoin is with video, play video for 10 minutes then after 3 times watching they will understand.

I think showing them games related to bitcoins can surely attract them towards bitcoins as they love games and that will make things easy for them instead of showing them complicated videos related to bitcoins.

I think it is not very important bitcoin can be introduced to children because they do not understand how to get real money especially with getting it through the internet, If their age already knows how to find and get bitcoin it just interfere with their daily activities.
What is needed for their age is simply learning to have their brains grow and play for entertainment but not focusing on bitcoin.

[shone08]

If you really what to explain it to teenagers or children you need a hard attention like in children because it's not easy to explain them what is Bitcoin.
For Teenagers I will tell them my experience on Bitcoin, How is really work I provide some short video to watch them and last I will convince them that you can earn money by Bitcoin, and good example is to invest. At the end they will realize what is the benefits of Bitcoin!!

[Meraki]

Yeah it's so difficult to explain bitcoin to a person who don't have the interest to earn, same goes for me at first i cant even understand how bitcoin works but if a person is so interested to earn online it will do all he can to understand it. I shared a lot my ideas about bitcoin to my classmates, relatives friends online even in real life but its too hard to tell them what bitcoin is all about, so all I did is let them search and read more how bitcoin and other altcoin works, hopefully if they are hardworking enough there will be a time that they will be able to understand it and earn money.

It's not that only the interest to earn is important with bitcoin as we can also spend here and have fun. Remember we have a lot of recreational activities online which is gambling and mining.

Thats right, kids wont show interest in these kind of talks, since kids always want to play and play again everytime. Kids need to enjoy themselves being a kid, so its really hard to teach them about bitcoin. They dont need to open their mind at a young age.they have to continue their journey being a kid, if they get old then you can start teaching about bitcoin to them.
