How to explain bitcoin to teenagers or children

[Fatanut]

Why should explain to children? It's enough just to say that this is one kind of money. And teen sit on the Internet more than adults, so if they want to know, Google will be the first who they will ask.

Because bitcoin is something that even a layman can earn. I'm just about to graduate college and looking back, there's shit ton of things that the teachers taught us but we never get to actually use in real life. One famous example is algebra and trigonometric stuffs. Never in my life have I used even the simple (a-b) * (a+b) = a^2 - b^2, and I'm pretty sure that I'll never use them at all.

Those are just trivial stuffs. To actually have all those trigonometry stuffs make money for you, you'd have to acquire high level skill like engineering wherein precise measures are needed. Bitcoin, on the other hand, doesn't require those complicated stuffs. You can literally make bitcoins just from luck. You can invest randomly in trading and then be lucky that the price of that coin has increased.

Kids have to learn about bitcoins not because they are going to use it on their career but rather it's an alternative way of making money. Others use it as a Plan B in case their day job goes South but end up going all-in on bitcoins because it pays more and consumes less time.

I believe that it is too early for children to explain such difficult earnings opportunities, and it will be more interesting for teenagers and modern youth itself can more quickly understand this issue.

yes that is really too early to learn about how make money from bitcoin, because most of the people still earning money from bitcoin and not using it for shopping as currency therefore children still do not need to learn about bitcoin but when people start using it as currency then they should start learning about bitcoin.

Yes I agree this really will be too early to learn about. In my opinion there is a specific age limit when you need to step into practical life and struggle to earn money before this time if someone wants to teach a kid to how to earn I think the concerned person will be snatching the childhood from the kids, which is not really appreciated at least by me.

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 believe that in order for teenagers or children to learn bitcoin, you must let them see the bitcoin even its environment with some basic explanations like what is bitcoin, how or what do we do in bitcoin, what are the benefits we get by spending time on bitcoin. Then give some examples, then let them explore let them experience it. Because me, I learn through experience that is why for me "EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER".
Its really hard for me to understand all when someone explains me about something but when I got some experience about it, I fully understand it.

Explain in general what's bictoin and like a what's bitcoin, tell it without having to directly detail how to get it, hunting, mining and so on. Simple first, let they knowing it more detail once their curiosity increases and try to asking again about that.

[Kotone]

Well, For me the first thing that I would tell them is they have to make a bitcoin wallet first so that their bitcoin would store their. Then  I would tell them next what is bitcoin, where to use it, what is it's purpose, how to use it, and so on. Then I would guide them in earning bitcoin, like on how to join in signature campaign in this forum and other earnings, even microearning in bitcoin faucets.

That could be the first one. Tell them what they need to do first so that they can know how does bitcoin works. Then tell them different aspect of bitcoin so that they can be aware on it. And lastly tell them that they can earn money on it. They can help their family and also they can buy all the things that they needed too.

[Rostadom]

Simply tell them that bitcoin is money. Bitcoin functions just like any other money out there. Bitcoin wallet acts just like a wallet. A bitcoin address tells its use by its own name. It's not that hard to understand bitcoin until you start touching technical stuffs. Kids don't have to understand that at all. They just have to know basic stuffs like no one knows who you are and where you are when you used bitcoin for payment. There will be no details about whereabouts/whatabouts and he can change his identity whenever he wants.

You can also get to teach him about the network of bitcoin which is decentralized. You can tell him that people from different places are supporting the network of bitcoins. There's no huge network and then people just connect to it. Bitcoin has no "heart" when it comes to the network. It might have a "heart" but it will be multiple just like the nodes. And when you try to take them down, there will be new people supporting bitcoin's network again. For kids: bitcoin is like a monster that have multiple hearts and when you destroy one heart, it will just regenerate like nothing happened.

Nothing is hard in this kids in this worlds current generation they all have good minds and understanding and they can easily fall and focus on to something if they can benefit into it,its not hard for them to learn what we are doing

It is not easy to introduce bitcoin in adolescent children because they only need a definite proof of bitcoin if the bitcoin can be made real money, But most of their mindset can not think wider because they just want instant certainty without having to understand it first.

The thing is: is it necessary for the people to understand how bitcoin and the blockchain works? If this is the case, then bitcoin is doomed. You cant expect mass adoption if the tech needs to be understood.

The internet. Almost everybody uses it. But does everybody understand how the insides of the internet and the world wide web works? Definitely only a very small minority does understand it. My point is, bitcoin needs to be simple as possible for us to achieve mass adoption. And we are slowly attaining this due to newbie-friendly apps like Xapo, Copay, bitpay, purse.io, and the like.

I'm not going to teach them about investing, gambling and trading if they're under the age of 17, bitcoins need to be taught according to their age or you'll see lots of young addicts who always spend money in no time. Children only need to be informed about the basics and types of games. Let their understanding be in harmony with daily activities. Give small portions until they get used to it.

I know someone else that using bitcoin as early as 10 years old.  They uses bitcoin to finance their studies and even helping their families.  So as long thst they are responsible, they can use bitcoin as an  early age just plant in your mind thst bitcoins are for money uses and not for illegal activities.

Hard To explain Easy to complain , Teenagers nowadays .. You need patience to explain With Them because Of what they think now . explain what's good on using Bitcoin .

I thinking explaining it with examples will be good. Make it simple and clean like how you will explain of usd to your children. Its same as any money what you need is a way to get your information transferred to the next generation.

I agree with you if they like they will hear the words you say. However, to persuade them you need perseverance and talent to persuade them to listen to you

yah, it is not hard to explain to teenagers unless you have a plenty knowledge about bitcoin. Here in philippines, this kind of activity is too interesting to us so it's easier for me to explain them how does it works because in the first place they are interested in earning bitcoin. Some of teenagers need some money for entertainments and other miscellaneous in school because we want to be independent on earning money. I dont like to ask always for money to my parents because especially high amounts of money.

yes, I agree with you. And I do think that the elders are hard to be taught about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. My brother used to be beaten by my family because of trying to explain it to them Maybe we have to teach the new generation more about it often.

The first step I think guys first we teach like watching video the raise of bitcoin and then teach post in bitcointalk,
Often gathered to relatives who already understand the bitcoin, then slowly land like I already understand in the bitcoin world although little knowledge of me, but I will continue to deepen the science of bitcoin

That would be a great idea.It would catch their attention in the first place.And from that show them some proofs that will be visible for them.And afterwards let them explore the forum so they can understand more about bitcoin.And lastly teach them how to create quality posts like what others have done in the forum.In that way you can test them how far they have understood bitcoin.And simply research to futher more understanding and knowledge.
