How to explain bitcoin to teenagers or children

[Rosilito]

It would be much better if you teach them in a way that may entertained them like having some games related to bitcoin. Teenagers and children are so hyper and we know that right? So I think it would be much better if you teach them in a way that you will get their attention. Also, understanding bitcoin is somehow difficult, so explaining it to them verbally is not advisable for me. I am sure that a techy one will have the kind of focus because they are in and the not techy one will be more likely to space out because they are not in. So, I think that explaining it to them in a entertaining way will be much better.

Kids will have a hard time understanding Bitcoin so we must explain or introduce to them when they are old enough to understand it is better to explain this to teenagers because they have already the guts and the knowledge to join Bitcoin.

I totally agree with you.  Most of the teenagers right now whom I know were into bitcoins.  They use their income with bitcoin to sustain or financed their studies.  It gives a real income to everyone because of its price and value.  As to teaching it to kids, maybe we will just wasting our time considering that kids are not interested on these things.  They are much interested into playing and looking to its surroundings.

You can try to play classic Monopoly with your children and try to talk about bitcoin as alternative payment during playing.

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 you arw right that bitcoin was difficult to explain on how it works, what is the purpose or what is bitcoin to those teenager who does not open to this kind of cryptocurrency but if you explain properly to them that they can earn a big amount of money and there is a possible to rise there income i think no one of the teenager ignore this bitcoin.

I would explain it as electronic money that you can transfer to someone without needing someone to control the transaction (a bank). It is like giving someone your phisical money, but in this case they are in digital form, and every bancnote (bitcoin) has its own code that cannot be duplicated. All of these transactions are recorded in an accounting book called ledger (sort of a replacement of a bank). Something like that 

[Betwrong]

How about let them enjoy their childhood ? It's far better imo. I mean, you still can explain the bitcoin to them when at least they reach high school. Teaching about bitcoin when they are young is really good though, they can become a big potential of bitcoin users in the future.

Exactly, and that's why I don't understand your first sentence. Can't you let them enjoy their childhood and explain Bitcoin at same time? I bet you can. Children need attention in the first place and they would be glad to hear about anything as long as an adult's attention was paid to them.

It's much more complicated with teenagers though. They don't like "old people" teaching them.

Very nice information to be learned by a children but don't allowed them to understand and to blind about the income that will earn from this most of the time you must tell them how much risky bitcoin is to be use the risk you will do the more sucessful you earn not only creating transaction to be send or to received this kind of digital currency may help them too to earn money not only with that also to help support with their financial assistance bitcoin is the greatest coin so far,
If you will explain it to the kids maybe try to be different and unique tell them those risky things if they really want to then teach them what to do so group chats are more helpful things

For now maybe children will not able to understand well bitcoin, but teenagers can. The easiest way to explain it to them is to watch about bitcoin on youtube. Or any site that can guidecthem about bitcoin. So they can understand much better

it is quite difficult to teach bitcoin to children. because the kids are in their mind sometimes still focus on the same game and enjoy their childhood.
if to think hard it will not, it takes a long process.

We can show them the news and summary of their price, bitcoin, depends on diligence. or give them a small budget and teach them how to play, they will understand

[winterland]

It's probably a good idea to teach kids about how to get rich, but I think you should teach them when they're 16, which is probably a reasonable age.

my advice is better to tell as simple as possible,because they still need developments about his education and must finish school first.Because to understand BTX requires good insight and education to quickly understand it san after they finished school may be time to understand deeper to know about BTC,but stick with its stance and give suggestions stay focused with what is in its ideals and make BTC as a side or addition to what we want to achieve.Do wisely for generasai us and give the best example for them besides make motivation as helping his needs to achieve his goals.

That was my Idea too, because bitcoin is difficult to understand, just like my first time in here but if you will study it step by step, I guess we will understand it. In our country 98% of children or teenager dont know about bitcoin. In fact, Bitcoin is a future money. My advice was if we will teach them or tell them about bitcoin then my suggestion was, we must tell them step by step or should I say the simple thing about bitcoin for them to understand just a small thing. If we will not teach them then who? we must tell them about this to get involved in digital era on the future or should I say to know this better.

Then that seems an even better reason to teach them about bitcoin, the sooner you learn about bitcoin the sooner you can begin to earn its benefits, and at this point when bitcoin seems about to skyrocket that can be a huge advantage in the future of those teenagers.

It is too difficult to explain to teenagers or children about bitcoin and its use and benefits.  Even with adults, more often I encountered people who just laugh when I've open up discussions about it, they do not believe and would just make fun of me.

It is hard even to explain to an adult. I had heard about bitcoin couple years ago but never bought anything because I could not understand anything. However, people are now understanding it's value because it surged a lot in 2017. Children will also come to know about this as this is in the news everywhere.

I think it is really hard to explain to teens but i believe that it depend on the persons interest because it the person ahs an interest and they really want to earn such thing maybe it will be simplier to them to make believe and understant things i really believe that teens today is more practcal because they are also expose to the internet that is why i believe that if we teach them about bitcoin they really get the idea of doing it.

[P3]

I  think it maybe easy just tell them BTC just like monkey but did not control by any government!

Educating about bitcoin is better for the eventual fate of bitcoin in light of the fact that in future bitcoin will get substantial number of supporters. What's more, to teach of bitcoin you should incorporate lesson in the school course with the goal that youngsters can get appropriate data about bitcoin.

[onemoretime8520]

In my opinion first of all to understand btc, people have to understand block-chain first and what a server does. If they are able to understand those, explaining btc would be easier and explaining it as gold which is an asset rather than money is better.

You do not understand anything because you're not trying to find out? actually everyone could have understood the basics of bitcoin if they read correctly, even some of my friends are instantly interested in buying bitcoin just from reading bitcoin in a blog, and then they find out about bitcoin alone

It is true that bitcoin is hard to explain especially to teenagers and children because the idea of bitcoin is very complicated. Maybe, explaining bitcoin to teenagers will not be that hard because they can listen to you and understand what you are saying to them about the idea of bitcoin unlike in children, they will not focus on you and ignore what you are saying because they dont want that kind of topic. They only want to play and have fun with theirselves.

[thecoder2017]

I don't think this is the right time to explain bitcoins to children it's hard because at their age they are into games only maybe we can teach them when they reach the right age being responsible for a thing they want to do while teenagers are easy to teach because teens are familiar more on advance technology just explain them about the benefits of bitcoining.

[Mhelmich]

Explaining bitcoin to children or teenager, this is not too easy because even for adults bitcoin are more time to spend for me to understand bitcoin. Reading,study and learned for gaining knowledge about bitcoin.
