How to explain bitcoin to teenagers or children

[kukuli]

I think children will have a difficult period treaty the concept of allocation at the enormously teenager age. It's much improved to add footnotes to the value of maintenance to young people, especially if it's approximately Bitcoins. Atleast they have the experience to use money wisely, for greater than before or worse.

This is a difficult thing because explaining bitcoin to teenagers or children is a tough job, even heavier than holding them for 100 Km, because it's hard to focus on something serious like bitcoin.

Children understand simple metaphors very well. Try to compare blockchain with a ledger where everyone can make notes, mining with a package sealing, private key with a home key, a public key with a home address etc.

Like your country, bitcoin in the mind of children are also unknown, but at teenagers there are some that I know are getting used to it. I can imagine how difficult it is to beginners because Ive also felt that. One thing that helped me get to used to it is that guiding them from the start, show them at the face of a monitor how it works, what are the do's and dont's, and also the threat it possess. After that Read and read some more on forums or search, or watch some at Youtube.

This topic can be hard for teenagers because of the money, maybe right now they don't really care about money because some teens are supported by their parents. Maybe some teens who is near the adulthood might be interested into these topics because they are engaging the state where they need to find money for their future.

might have told them to look up that information on the internet. I think, for now very much information about bitcoin on the internet, and so easy to find. while for children, I think teaching them is the right way.

No pressure on explaining bitcoin to children because they cannot really understand it well unless they are interested. Maybe teenagers are open in knowing bitcoin as they are already a bit matured.

It is very difficult to share technical details of BTC with children . But for awareness , when it will be used like other currency , the application of BTC will be known to children too.

If youre trying to explain bitcoin to someone new, dont jump straight to the blockchain, transactions,etc.. Start with the mining and how its generated, then the price and how easy it is to earn some, also transaction time is also good to start with.

Young people are the driving force of development in this era. The more teenagers they understand about the future development of Bitcoin, the better. So, you can introduce the knowledge of Bitcoin to young people first, and let them know about Bitcoin first.

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'm not quite sure if Bitcoin is appropriate for children and teenagers but in terms of explaining how it's functioning it should be easier then to other groups. They are more familiar with new technologies then older generations and  they addopt informations easier and faster.
But I wouldn't let them into cryptocurrency word before they are 18.

Let them know how did you get money. This is the best way to catch their attention. After that explain to them how bitcoin help in earning money.

I am also difficult to understand bitcoin. and almost gave up. but after I read a lot of posts in this forum, I learn to understand it. so I strongly recommend to introduce and teach bitcoin to teenagers and childrens can start from this forum, beside that many tutorials on youtube and many articles about bitcoin in google.

Its very hard to explain it to children and teenagers. I dont even have the slightest idea before. I am not even a master of bitcoin of information now. But to put it simply into terms you can try to explain it to children by buying and selling,let it grow for a while and your money will grow too.

I would start by showing them my bank's online account.
They need to see the incoming amount and the expenses recorded online.
They need to understand that money does not grow on trees or magically appear so they can buy the latest gadgets.
Teenagers are very internet savvy these days - you would be surprised when you realize how fast they can get the concepts.

Tell them a brief history of bitcoins.  The benefits.. the ease of use and the potential since it is a deregulated currency.

Be straight up, don't tell them a lot of stuffs. The teenagers are more interested in making money rather than knowing other stuffs that is not really necessary to know. It is better if you will just tell them the way to make a lot of money in bitcoin and through their journey it will be just automatic for them to know the other stuff like the essence of bitcoin and so on.
