My husband asked my daughter if she understood what Bitcoin was. She said, "You talk about it all the time. You think it is like a miracle but then you say you could lose it all." So then he tried to explain how it was a currency, like the money we had to exchange on our last vacation, but it is not a currency of any real country. It is only currency on the internet. To which she replied, "Oh. It is like alien currency." So I guess we are investing in alien currency that is a miracle that we could lose all of at some point? ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Too funny!

you know what the best way is to teach her right? start paying her for chores around the house in bitcoin instead of fiat.

most giftcard for bitcoin sites are for the Yanks.. not the Brits.. so in my case its still not useful, and i know kids that prefer something in hand as a direct reward for chores. and not the whole go on computer play around with a couple websites to print out a voucher / get code sent to phone ..
family i have love seeing pennies in their little purses .. and the funniest thing.. if i gave them £1 in pennies (100 coins) they think they are receiving more then if i gave them a £1 coin. well they are all under 6yo so i cant blame them..

If I give you .01 BTC for chores and you hold for a year it could be worth .1 BTC or even 1 BTC someday! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I guess it could teach some delayed gratification. I think "alien money" will be much more exciting when she needs to buy her first car or is going to college and we have enough to pay for it then!

How foolish are we all going to feel in a few years when we find out that Satoshi actually was an alien, and Bitcoin was just a ploy to create an intergalactic monetary system, of which he could fuel his planet's dying economy by siphoning off of earthlings inferior technology. On Satoshi's planet, asics cost 1 BTC/THash.
The sad part is, this is by far not the far fetched theory I've seen.
