Bitcoin is very difficult to explain and understand. When my uncle introduce it to me, I could say that he has difficulties to explain because of a lot of rules and how to use it but eventually you'll understand it. I tried to introduce it to my peers but they'll just say "wait, what?! how?!" I can see that they are really confused and just quit Grin but for me i like it because I'm earning money by myself even though I'm just a teenager Smiley

Teenager  must be interested in bitcoin and have a passion of bitcoin reseaching bitcoin subject. Show him or her yoir results and describe all pluses of bitcoin.

Yes, introducing bitcoin to teenagers are not a problem since most of the users of bitcoin are teenagers.  The one who taught me about bitcoin is still in school and that most of my friends who are into bitcoins are teenagers.  As to children it would be out of their interest because bitcoin is not I think designed for them.  Maybe you could just tell them that you bought him or her a toy because of the earnings you made from bitcoin.  But not to teach them how to earn with it.


It might pose a problem since most teenagers nowadays are stuck on the virtual world of social media and they tend to disregard things that seem complicated for them. Teaching bitcoins to children/teenager may be complicated due to its nature, being very complex and technical. I highly suggest teaching alternatives that are still relevant to bitcoin, like explaining to them the value of money, teaching them to save, and showing them simple investments. In this way, they can embrace the idea of giving worth to money, while at the same time being relevant to the topic of bitcoin.

There is always the tendency of them not listening to you due to their nature being focused on the things that give satisfaction to them like playing games etc. But it is paramount that you give them the exposure behind bitcoin so once they mature, they have at least an idea regarding the topic.
I agree with you if you just give them the information in a fun way like with gaming like you can say if you earn bitcoin you can buy a lot of more games with it they will surely listen to you it will be hard for them to understand but they at least will listen to you.
that would be possible, as long as you mention about games or video games about kids, you can easily get their interest and focus on doing things even they dont have any background or any interest on it. but since they were just a kids, they can learn easily.
I don't think that having teenagers as listeners does not automatically make it much easier to explain Bitcoin to them. Yes they are into technology and everything but they still have to enter into a steep learning curve in order to know what Bitcoin is. And most likely you will teach Bitcoin as a mode of investment and bringing it up to them will just make the teenagers have more questions rarther than answers.

Kids are open for new technology and usually older people see fraud everywhere .

Perhaps but it actually depend on how old is a kid.  Because most of the time, kids really want to play.  This is the stage wherein they are much curious about their surroundings.  Teenagers will likely acceded if they are asked to learn bitcoin and would listen if you explained it to them.  Most of the persons I know who uses bitcoin are students, thus, they are still teenagers.  They are much more into technology and earning especially those students who needs an extra income to earn money.

Kids are still kids and they don't have enough knowledge to understand all the things that they will encounter in their life and technology is complicated for them to understand and they need more time and years for their brain to develop and after those years of getting knowledge and personal experiences they can easily understand the topics or things that we are going to teach them.

Children about bitkoin need to be explained as well as about ordinary money. Of course, the first time they can not understand everything, but with a good explanation and a constant practice, they will eventually figure it out.

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.
Explaining bitcoin to children was really difficult because they have that much understanding about this kind of thing. There mind was in a stage of growing and learning more about anything in this world. I think we can explain it little by little because it might be easier for them to follow and understand bitcoin. We can also wait for the perfect time where they can easily understand bitcoin when they grow up because their mind there was more enhanced.

Yes it is very hard to explain to children and teenagers, but I think when We know a lot about bitcoin finding how to explain it to them is become easy. We need to do is to get some techniques in youtube or google becore telling about bitcoin to them.  Smiley

Just tell them that's like conventionnal money, with the difference that you can't falsify it, you can't have it physically (like the digital money in your credit card). It'll be enough for sure.

If they are early ages like 10 bellow I think it will be hard for them to understand these type of topic.

if they see how it works they will believe
but the generations nowadays only know how to spent and be happy to waste their time and efforts for nothing
I just giving them the basic knowledge and it is up to them to grow or learned more from it

you cant force them to know about bitcoin or something else, yes i know that bitcoin will be a great futuristic digital money, but you need t learn bitcoin to children or teenagers slowly without some force, time by time they will know about bitcoin and make curious themselves

Think that how or put yourself from a children on how can you learn bitcoin even you are not familiar about this things.  If the bitcoin is the future money, even you did not explain it because they can really know it from some social media sites or maybe from their friends also.

As you talked it is quite circulating brain in my opinion i would recommend that you should need to explain like you are explain your mother because it will quite great idea to attract them while doing with other method will not work as you are talking.

yes they should now about bitcoin and the blockchain, but don't worry sooner or later they will learn about bitcoin. We should not count them out if they don't know now, remember next generations always be a prodigy of past generation. Our generation now has improve since last generation when it comes to technology, so youth today will always come up and will be better than us in the future.

In my opinion they did not really need to know everything about bitcoin or become a prodigy to earn so much, Even the signature campaigns are already paying very well and that is enough for a person who is already at the age of 50's and they will earn money easily to sustain their life style.

I think it would be difficult to explain bitcoin to children, but it would be easier to explain bitcoin to teenagers. Teens will easily understand bitcoin if you describe bitcoin and how to apply it directly.

I would definitely agree with you. It's seems complicated for kids to understand it. Kids don't really care too much in money because they are still depending on their parents. And most of the kids just want to have fun.
On the other hand, explaining bitcoin to teens would somehow easier than explaining it to adults because most of the teens nowadays are into technology. They probably understand it if you'll just explain or teach them the basic and let them learn the rest of it by themselves.
