How to explain bitcoin to teenagers or children

[mabell943]

In children it is hard to explain the concept of bitcoins becuase they are too young for that. 
In teenagers explaining the whole process and basic concepts helps them to have a knowledge on how to earn money in easiest way.

The thing which can we can explain to children is saving and holding you the bitcoin and how to invest, they can't understand about trading and gambling saving private keys etc. For teenagers its easy to explain them all Including Sending & Receiving bitcoins, not to trust anyone, always be wise, when you buy and when to sell.

If i will be able to explain bitcoin to my teenager or children i think they easy to understand it  because i will tell first to interest them if they need extra money they can start by knowing how Bitcoin works or if they have a small online business i can teach them how to integrate Bitcoin payment into their online payments and also read it all the rules in the forum.

Bitcoin can be difficult to explain but so can money and what teenager really knows how that works, hell most people don't know how money really works.
I think a teenager would probably be the easiest generation to teach bitcoin to, you don't need to teach them the whole in's and out's just a bit about public/private key pairs, sending/receiving addresses and secure coin holding and they will pick up the rest very quickly.

Best way of explaining is using the gold analogy.


But I think explaining it to a person in his/her early teens will be quite diffiicult. Best to wait till the person reaches late teens and then explain

children doesn't need to know about currency,but teenagers does,and i think there's so many explanation video in youtube so don't wasting effort wasting your time when you can just give them about the link of video so they can learn from it,whether they will be interested or not,it's definitely depend on them

There is a lot of ways to explain the bitcoin to the children and teenagers but I do not recommend to explain or teach the bitcoin to them. Maybe if they reach the right age and maturity I will explain it to them frankly, like what bitcoin really is, how it benefits the users etc. because at that age they have the capability to understand things maturely.

[mitsuki]

We need not think that far because young children certainly do not understand bitcoin. And if we tell bitcoin sure they are also difficult to understand. If we tell adults about bitcoin would be easy to understand because they would be interested because they would think of the benefits.

[lesterdesa]

There is a perfect book for that: "Bitcoin for Dummies". Your kids will get the entire idea easily

Usually "for dummies" books are made my dummies themselves. Just my opinion, since I had a bad experience with these stuff.

Just wait until they understand the limits of our banks and bitcoin will naturally come to them

If teenager need money and throw him to the idea of ​​bitcoin mining and real earning money, the child quickly begins to be interested in what it is and how to work I think !

[Becase]

I will tell the crowd, about the good and bad experiences I have gained from the moment when I get a free satoshis from mobile games. We will have a good discussion which refers to btc talk threads and most importantly I will guide them on the topic of economy and its progress.

[Becase]

in my opinion, the easiest way to introduce bitcoin to teenagers or children is to write a blog or follow a bitcoin-related account. We all know that teenagers love social media so promotion so fast with social media is very effective.

[gumpoh]

This is a very difficult thing to explain, because my parents, adults, they can not understand, let alone children, and they do not know what is bitcoin.

[angelaurum]

i  think one of the best way to explain it to them is showing them videos
or giving examples like bitcoin is an investment

tell them that its somehow like plants... it can grow or die

[ace4549]

To explain what bitcoin for kids is let them to watch some video clips about bitcoin. It should includes or about where it came from, how it works, how can we use it and how to avail it.
You can also explain it to them personally or directly from yourself.

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.

BTC is very successful and very innovative idea and has attracted the attention of millions of investors and I am very sure for one thing that in the future everyone will own a single bitcoin atleast and if BTC is an asset and is a resource that could be preserved for future generations then it is very necessary that children and students must be teach about BTC and this is only possible when the management will introduce BTC as a subject in schooling system, this could be the most effective way by which students could be aware of BTC.
